Elwood and ‘Joliet’ Blues!
Dear Chris Rea’s Facebook page posted this and it came up in my algorythm so we best have the full thing, eh? Apt today as it was then . . . . . . .

Squeeze - 1980-06-30 - Chicago IL (FM)

Speedy says:"I've seen Squeeze on 2 occasions - in August 1981 at the South Mountain "Music Fest" - in reality, the side of a hill - and in August 1985, at Pier 84 in New York.This FM broadcast captures Squeeze on June 30, 1980, 46 years ago today, in Chicago. The band was on tour in support of the album Argy Bargy, which helped them finally breakthrough in the US and had some critics hailing Chris Difford and Glen Tilbrook as the new Lennon & McCartney. While that praise was a bit over the top, there’s no doubt that the duo filled Argy Bargy with a host of soon to be classic new wave tunes, including Pulling Mussels (from the Shell), Another Nail in My Heart and If I Didn't Love You.

It has been a dramatic few weeks for Bob Dylan and his band. To catch up anyone who needs it, here’s the timeline:
June 4: The summer tour begins in Troutdale, Oregon (here’s a review by Death Cab for Cutie’s Dave Depper). The band lineup at this point is the same he’s had for several years now, featuring Doug Lancio and Bob Britt on guitars. They play the first six shows together although, by the end, Bob Britt is not entering until a few songs into the set. Foreshadowing!
June 17: With no announcement or explanation, Doug Lancio is gone after five years. Appearing onstage in his place that night is Julian Lage, one of the most famous jazz guitarists working today. Fans wonder if Lancio will return, but he doesn’t. Lage remains for seven shows, playing guitar alongside Britt, but anyone looking at his website can see he has other commitments beginning June 29 (last night).
June 27: Bob Britt announces on Facebook that he has quit. He has been with Dylan for seven years. The next show on the calendar, two days later in Austin, Lage will not be able to play either. He’s got an event in New York. In the span of 10 days, Dylan has gone from two guitarists, both of whom have been with him for years, to zero.
Which brings us to last night. The Dylan-nerd corners of the internet were abuzz with curiosity. Not about the setlist, but about who would play guitar in Dylan’s band. Who could—or, given the murky circumstances surrounding two dramatic mid-tour departures, would—jump in on extremely short notice?
Luckily, we had a man on the ground to report in and tell us what went down. Danny Golden is an Austin-based musician who just released his new album The Big Blue last week. The album was inspired by a pilgrimage he took to Leonard Cohen’s house in Greece. He’s a Dylan and Cohen superfan, and posts hilarious Reels on Instagram about both artists. This one’s maybe my favorite (it happened to me recently listening to John Wesley Harding):
