Just watching Dire Straits Alchemy album live from Hammersmith odeon. 1983 proper music.

RIP Peter Green
Just finished watching an excellent documentary about The Proclaimers who are on my very short list of acts to see live.
One interesting fact I learnt is that Edwyn Collins, of A Girl Like You fame, is a Jock!
I had always thought him to be a Yank or a Canuck.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Mmmh. That prompted me to ponder who is on my short list of acts I still cross the road to see and since I saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse about 20 years ago (Edit: Sheffield Arena 9th June 2001. Isn't Google wonderful?) - it is now only Randy Newman and, of course, Bob Dylan: both growing older gracefully along with me.

"...as dry as the Atacama desert".
This last week I have been listening to the Grateful Dead, every night in bed, really enjoying it and not a band I ever gave attention to back in the day.
Is this acceptable cool or am I too old now?
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
Well as the approaching-10,000 pages Encyclopedia of Popular Music says at the end of its extensive and laudatory entry: "Quite simply, you either get it or you don't".
For my part I have always thought the Dead were a Californian cult - and we all know about California.
And yet... Dylan toured with them (shambolic?), made an album with them (terrible?) and co-wrote some songs with Robert Hunter (er....yes?).
And yet...the wonderful Bruce Hornsby toured with the Dead and on his brilliant Across The River Jerry Garcia plays a scintillating guitar solo which must have helped the song reach #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990, and apart from Touch of Grey (#7 in 1987) this was the only time Garcia got anywhere near the Top 40.
And so.. I guess, I get it.
