41 years ago today, Lindsey Buckingham released his quite adventurous, of-era second solo LP, Go Insane, on Elektra, on 07.30.84. I biked in the rain to buy this one day-and-date, and I still get quite a rush from the title track, “Slow Dancing,” “Play in the Rain,” “Loving Cup,” and more . . .

Saw my first Loverboy show 43 years ago today on July 11, 1982, in Roanoke, VA. “Take me to the top. . .”

58 years ago, on June 16-17-18, 1967, the Monterey International Pop Festival set the standard for music festivals, and their ensuing cultural impact. Over on my Substack, The SoundBard, I look back at the festival & the ensuing Monterey Pop film lensed by D.A. Pennebaker. . .
