Birthdays...Marty Robbins. Almost single-handedly brought the western back to C & W. He easily could have been a crooner.

On this day in 1969, The Beatles released Abby Road. And West Side Story premiered on Broadway in 1957
Also Happy Birthdays to Bryan Ferry and Olivia Newton-John

My 11 year old daughter has just discovered Nirvana. LOL! She is listening to all the albums on Spotify and wants a Nirvana t-shirt. This girl always makes fun of my music for being "too old." 
Of course, she found Nirvana through that Jay-Z song that cribs "Teen Spirit."
I have to admit, back in '91 Nirvana was a real gateway for me into a whole new world of better music. Perhaps I can get her to listen to more stuff and broaden her horizons some more. |

Birthdays...Marty Robbins. Almost single-handedly brought the western back to C & W. He easily could have been a crooner. One of my all-time favorite songs -- The guy who wrote the song, Melvin Endsley, was from my home state (I never even heard the song, AFAIK, till I was about 40 & driving back into Little Rock from visiting my then-wife in New Orleans; I happened to have the local community radio station on, & they were airing a show that focused on Arkansas songwriters, at which point they played "Singin' the Blues"). The photography editor I used to sit by at the newspaper, who's my age (& who's pretty much a dead ringer for Zippy the Pinhead's Bill Griffith, but I digress), told me his mother had dated Endsley when they were kids. I like to think he later wrote the song about her, but of course who knows? Guy Mitchell's version apparently was the bigger hit. I'm not sure why. |

The guitar playing on "El Paso" is just outstanding.

Guy Mitchell's version of "Singing the Blues" was at the top of the charts when I was born.
And Dan's favorites, the Grateful Dead, played "El Paso" regularly for many years.

Birthdays...Gillian Welch. One of the few female singers I actively like.

Nirvana was my favorite band back when I was around 13-15. The deeper cuts on Nevermind are actually the best songs on that album, like Lounge Act and Territorial Pissings. |

I'm rather over "Nevermind" after playing it to death in high school- and the fact that at least half the songs still get regular radio play around here.
I can still enjoy some of "Bleach" and some of the stuff that never made it onto a proper album.

Yeah, I think I became permanently sick of most of "Nevermind" due to excessive overplay. My "Nevermind" receptors are just burnt out. I do like "Bleach" and a few cuts off of the later albums. Nirvana is depressing to listen to, too. Not because they'er bad, but you can feel the despair/depression/whatever downer vibe.
