Sturgill Simpson, aka Johnny Blue Skies, did his thing for 3 hours last at a steamy Knoxville hockey barn last night. My clips don’t do him just justice but here’s a bit of ‘Living the Dream’.

As someone who loathes E Tennessee but loves Pat Summit, this was a pleasant find in a W Knoxville Kroger.

Without a doubt. Get well, mate.

I’m sure you have a team but I’m 15 minutes from UT Med if you’re in need of anything.

That was in the first month of our national hell. Just after the Muslim ban.

I covered a couple dozen shows of Springsteen’s 2013, 2016 and 2017 tours of Australia and New Zealand for Backstreets Magazine. I wrote about this show for myself.

Sorry for the non- #AT40 thirst trap.

During an #AT40 dud I flipped to the Springsteen channel, where a live show from Jan 2017 in Adelaide AUS was playing. A show I literally drove all night from my home in Melbourne to attend. Because I needed to hear an American decry Trump’s racist policies. Springsteen did not disappoint.

Sad news: John Lodge of the Moody Blues has passed at the age of 82. I'm actually in tears. Through his music I've longed loved this man.

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back, there you were and here we are

FYI: Cher later disavowed her claim of Cherokee heritage and said it was 'false'. #AT40

Late B.B. King into early Barry White ... that's my kind of #AT40.

With the Yankees playing Boston in a do-or-die game tonight, I thought it appropriate to wear a t-shirt with a 47-year-old box score on the back. I was 12 on Oct 2 1978, but it remains the greatest day of my baseball-fan life.

Good luck against Bama tonight, Jezza.

They're in for another ass-whoopin'.
