"The Kinks entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, the first year they were eligible. Other members of that class included The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, The Four Tops, The Four Seasons, and Bobbby Darin, just to name a few.This soundboard recording captures The Kinks at the Rockpalast on April 4, 1982, 44 years ago today, during their 2nd wave of popularity. The band's 1977 album Sleepwalker climbed to #21 on the Billboard chart in the US, with the title track and the tune Juke Box Music becoming staples on FM radio. Around the same time, new wave acts such as The Pretenders and The Jam recorded covers of Stop Your Sobbing and David Watts, bringing the Kink's music to a whole new audience. A cover by Van Halen of You Really Got Me also sparked renewed interest in the Kink's music. Then in 1979, The Kink's released the album Low Budget, which climbed to #11 on the Billboard charts. Their next album Give The People What They want, released in late 1981, went to #15 on the Billboard charts, continuing the band's string of chart success. By the way, The Kinks were on the same bill as Van Morrison, who's Rockpalast appearance we posted earlier today."

"One of my favorite rock trivia questions is the following: "Name the only 2 bands that have all 4 members inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice?" The answer: "The Beatles and CSNY". But there's a catch to the question! You see, the Beatles were inducted as a group, and then every member was inducted individually. But CSNY was never inducted as a group! CSN got in as a group, and Neil Young as a solo artist. Neil and Stephen Stills got their second inductions as members of Buffalo Springfield! Graham Nash got his 2nd induction as a member of The Hollies and David Crosby garnered his second as a member of the Byrds!This ALD recording captures the foursome in San Jose on April 5, 2002, 2 dozen years ago today. They were on the road for their Tour of America, a 40 concert run that started on February 6 in Detroit and ran until the final show on April 29 in Portland"

More From Gary Lucas - don’t mind if we do; he posted this from Michael Davis
This from Gary Lucas . . . . . . I kid you not! . . . . . . . He’s NUTS!
speaking of androgynes . . .well it is Sunday and while we have featured this track before, I don’t CARE and here with the only Prince I recognise!
From the outset, her letters command and caress at the same time. “Write to me often and long, the longer the better,” she urges him in one. “On Saturday I’ll bring your sweater, your books and a lot of violets,” she tells him in another. She takes love as seriously as it ought to be taken but also knows it dies without play: “Sorry about constantly repeating the word ‘love’ five times in a row, but it’s just that I’m very silly.” She signs herself “your pretty girl (monkey face),” “your girl, buddy, woman or whatever you like,” “your sister (girlfriend, buddy, wife).” (It starts so early, that trembling gamble of the heart by which a person tries to discern what they mean to another.) Over and over, she offers glimpses into her uncommon inner world. In a letter penned the summer she turned seventeen, after some arrangements for how they can see each other — Frida’s parents disapproved of the relationship — she writes:Now I’m going to read Salambo until half past 10, it’s 8 o’clock now, and then the Bible in three volumes and, finally, think for a while about huge scientific problems and then go to bed, and sleep until half past 7 in the morning, eh? Until tomorrow, may we have a good night and may we both think that great friends must love each other very, very much, much, much, much, much, mucho . . . with “m” for music or for “mundo.”A month later, she offers that lovely unasked assurance that makes a fragile young love feel safe and solid:My Alex, since I won’t see you for two days and I miss you so much, I’m writing you this so that you will start to believe something that you don’t believe, but which is very true.And then, beneath a drawing, she adds:Please forgive me for not writing any more but I started to draw the doll at 9 and it took me an astronomical three quarters of an hour to draw and another half hour to write, so it’s about 10 now and you know that makes me sleepy like the hens, but I’ll keep writing this letter in my dreams and you know that I would write enough to fill at least a thousand pages.I love you very much.Your pretty girl (monkey face)
I’d either forgotten or didn’t even know that Tom covered the classic pop Thunderclap Newman ear worm and major hit
. . . . and this showed up in my feeds from PMJ’s Facebook page even though it’s a year old . . . worth a visit - I thought it was great . . . . . .some of their covers haven’t grabbed me lately so maybe the algorithms are fighting back?
Might sign off with this one from Kelly Boesch as it mentions her new debut album which you can pre-order if you follow the links . . . . .she and her work fascinate me
Golden In The Sun[Verse]I find it funny how life isSo beautiful and full of loveI find it funny how life isSo cruel and so tough[Chorus]But ohI’m golden in the sunI’m so glad that I can breatheI love the airI love the treesI’m so happy to be me[Verse 2]Sometimes the rain won’t stop fallingAnd I can’t find the words to sayBut then the clouds start to openAnd light just pours my way[Chorus]OhI’m golden in the sunI’m so glad that I can breatheI love the airI love the treesI’m so happy to be me[Bridge]There’s beauty in the breaking,Grace in the scars I see,I’ve learned to keep on waking,To let my heart just be free.[Final Chorus]OhI’m golden in the sunI’m so glad that I can breatheI love the airI love the treesI’m so happySo happy to be me.
