When I was 15 I was listening to music that was older than me. In 1989-1990 I was the odd guy listening Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, etc from before I was born… and never singles, always albums.

I think that most non-brits will think of Fish & Chips as the quintessential British dish, to be fair.
(I’d vote for steak & ale pie), personally.

Incredible season. I hope Season 3 begins airing next week. 😂

He helped end the Clone Wars!

On this day in 1969 the newly formed Mark 2 lineup performed Concerto for Group and Orchestra Live at The Royal Albert Hall. It was a once in a lifetime performance. What are your highlights from this performance? #deeppurple

I first interviewed Glenn Hughes 25 years ago. It was my first big interview and, being a great fan, a huge personal moment.
Many years later (and after several other talks with him)… here we go again!

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

It made absolutely NO sense. But it was awesome as fuck, one of the best endings ever!

Daniele Purrone 🇮🇹🇸🇪 @purple74.bsky.social · Sep 6

And then the ending. I can imagine the discussions: “We are in a mess, how are we going to end this?” “Let’s use a boomer song!” “You mean, Boomer, the character?” “No, an actual boomer song! You know, a song from the 1960s!” “What?”

I must admit that they almost lost me there, some of the stuff was too weak for my tastes. Turning a main character into an angel? Meh…

Daniele Purrone 🇮🇹🇸🇪 @purple74.bsky.social · Sep 6

Then it evolved more and more into political drama in space, and it was still amazing.
Then again, they needed to find new ways and they started pushing the mystical stuff, which was almost a contradiction of the original hard sci-fi premise.

I was reflecting on Battlestar Galactica 2025 and how Ronald D. Moore clearly didn’t have a plan. Still, it was an incredible ride.
It started as 100% pure hard science fiction. The miniseries and first reason were incredible, fantastic claustrophobic narration.

They kept making new music until Coverdale had to give it up.
Absolutely no "tribute act".
