On this date in 2015, June 21st, we had tickets to see #PaulMcCartney at the Wells Fargo barn in South Philly, but Diane was under the weather. So I took my mom! She was 75 at the time, not a McCartney/Beatles fan per se, though she remembered seeing them on Ed Sullivan, but a McCartney/Beatles fan by osmosis (when I was a kid, everyone in the house usually heard what I played). She loved the show, though she thought it a tad loud.

Happy #fathersday to all the dads out there.

Just call him angel of the morning… #cats #catsofinstgram

I write about the Dream Syndicate's new album, Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions, on my blog today. (Link in bio.) It takes me back to the many hazy summer days and nights I spent in the ‘80s with headphones on and lyric sheet in hand, both deciphering the latest, greatest release from any of my many favorites and losing myself in it. If you remember a time when MTV first shoehorned the best music into a two-hour block called "120 Minutes," or even before, this album is for you. It’s my favorite release of the year, easy. (The pic is from L.A. Weekly in 1982.) #dreamsyndicate #thedreamsyndicate #salvationarmy #thethreeoclock #threeoclock #bangs #bangles #newrelease #newmusic #paisleyunderground

Said the final goodbye to my mother, who passed away last month, today. (This is us in, I think, ‘71 or ‘72.)

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away… (1986, I think)… #firstcar #chevette

I dig deep into Just a Stone's Throw Away, the 1977 debut album from #valeriecarter on my blog today. (Link in bio.) Although overlooked in its day, it's an amazing album that's well worth revisiting or, if you've never heard it, giving it a go. #lostclassics #losttreasures #overlookedalbums
