Love this song, so good.

New podcast episode now available! Wilco is one of my favorite bands, and if I had to pick my favorite album of all time, it would be their record, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.” On this episode, I talk with Greg Kot. Greg wrote a book about this Wilco record, as well as being the co-host for the radio show Sound Opinions, and a regular contributor to the “Chicago Tribune,” “Rolling Stone,” and more. We talk about the opening track on this great album, “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart.” We also talk about Nirvana and his role in breaking part of the story around their album, “In Utero.” Listen now wherever you find podcasts, or at the link in my bio.

Have you listened to episode three of the Songs of Note podcast about the great Billie Holiday? Listen now at link in bio.

A good point was made that my post earlier today focused on Lennon’s death and his killer instead of celebrating his life. He made a good point. Lennon will always be one of my very favorite songwriters and singers. I love that you can hear the humanity in his singing and words, it’s coming from a real guy singing about something he cared about.

Sufjan Stevens’ song, “Fourth of July,” is one of my favorite (and saddest) songs. The song is about Stevens dealing with a combination of heavy emotions after the death of his mother. Hear the story behind the song in episode 6 of the Songs of Note podcast at the link in my bio.

“Strawberry Fields Forever,” is really a story about John Lennon and the loss of his mother. Hear the story on episode 1 of the Songs of Note podcast.

I have no idea if 1,000 plays in a week is really great or totally average, but it feels like a cool milestone to celebrate. Thank you for listening and subscribing, very grateful!

I rewatched this documentary the other night and really enjoyed it more than my first watch. Think I had expectations it was going to be different. This time I liked it a ton more. Have you seen it?
