From the You Had One Job Dept.: Jeff Buckley gets mistaken for The Yardbirds' guitarist! Also, it's a Leonard Cohen song that Jeff Buckley covered!

So, add Far Out to the list of websites now too dependent on AI to be credible.

How It Looks, How It Is 06/27/2025. Haven't colored my hair in a year. Rarely spike it these days. Trying to figure out what is "age appropriate" for an unrepentant punk rocker on the cusp of 60. What do you think? Should I color it?

Brother Tim Couch begifted me this metal print of a shot he took of Brother Wayne Kramer, onstage at The Mohawk during the MC50 tour. Wayne was pointing to his departed MC5 brothers. CON'T.

THE DAY THE SAINTS BESTOWED THEIR BLESSINGS
Tomorrow, I begin a two-part review of In The Red’s new 4-LP deluxe box set version of The Saints’ 1977 debut album, (I’m) Stranded—an album that always reminds me of the one time I met their long-standing leading light, singer Chris Bailey. CON'T.

"I ain't votin' for no Democrat! I'm payin' $3.65 for a dozen eggs at th' grocery store!"

Really? Now that your boy is in, I paid nearly 3 times that at the damned dollar store last night.

How's Making Eggs Affordable Again working for you?

Well, it was November 12th, apparently. But Happy [Belated] 56th Birthday to Kathleen Hanna. 🖤 “I won’t stop talking. I am a girl you have no control over. There is not a gag big enough to handle this mouth.” #KathleenHanna #RiotGrrrl #BikiniKill #PunkFeminism #FeministIcon #RevolutionGirlStyleNow

Ted "shat pants to avoid the draft" Nugent on Iggy And The Stooges in a 1974 Creem article. He spent his entire career in the key of G, yet he's fit to judge other guitar players? It ain't just his politics that makes him utterly worthless.

I created this meme at the beginning of the first Trump administration. Thank you for sending it around the world, many times over! Let's do it again, as Trump resumes his siege on democracy! Make this your motto! Spray paint it on your t-shirt! Tattoo it on your chest!

Oh, man! Here's some sweet guitar porn from one of the first Bluesky sites I followed @punkrockclub.bsky.social -- a beautiful Gretsch White Falcon and a pair of gorgeous Juniors. I live for these machines!
