I find myself saying this all too often - at least we’ll always have his music. ✊

I too was just graduating. I think we’re super close in age, if I remember correctly.

I barely go to show now, but you’ve been making up for that, no? You’ve probs of seen more shows in the last 10 years than I’ve seen in 20. lol

Brilliant, troubled, and dead.
How’s that for morbid? (sry, had to)

I think it’s fair to say that Ian Curtis was a troubled dude.

It really was a great era. In 1986 (7?) I saw Iron Maiden, Siouxsie, and the Dead - weeks apart. There was so much good music!

I know you listen to a pretty wide array of music as well - as does David.

Music, man. It saves lives. 🔥

I’m not sure I believe that either. Wow. Should be interesting reading.

*Also hard to believe he’s 82!
Shocking, actually. In my mind he’s just a kid. lol

This is the kind of music that makes me want to keep my neighbors up at night.

Thanks for posting this! 🔥

I love Bowie, but this is one album I don’t have a lot of experience with.

I had no idea Iggy and SRV had contributed to it.

Thanks for the new rabbit hole! 🙌

Just added it to my Amazon cart.

Thank you! 🙏

That sounds… familiar.

And revolting.

It really is no wonder Republicans idolize that dingbat.

*Great little comic. Saving that to use later. 🔥

Not me. Reagan was a huge pretend-a-friend. Doing something nice to everyone's face while he secretly was setting up all the millionaires to become Billionaires.

Now I’m curious. Looks like I’m going to be reading and doing some research.

Thank you! 🙌

That song and this one are some of their bests stuff, imho.

(Oh shit. I forgot about Shiny Happy People, which is also pretty good.)

One of their best songs! 🔥

Is that all you want to say to me? 😆

Yeah, there are much better songwriters.
August 2, 2025 at 8:29 PM
That’s the single best way to workout EVER! lol

I may have to consider that on days when inspiration lacks. 🔥

You still hear about Sting and Copeland doing their various things, but Andy Summers seems to be MIA.
