Fleetwood Mac - Landslide (2017 Remaster)

Saw a meme about this song the other day and it reminded me of what a lovely sounding but pretty sad song this is. I've always been a sucker for a sad song.

Bob Dylan - Jokerman (Official HD Video)

One of my favorite Dylan songs. Mark Knopfler produced and played guitar, with Mick Taylor on slide. I believe it was the first video on MTV that showed the lyrics. Later in '94, Uncle Eddy called to say "Dylan has been crapping out the joint for the last 15 years, but he's back. I saw him last night in Boston. He's in career form, and playing clubs. New York tonight. You gotta go." Pre-Internet when you had to call around. I was working in North Jersey at the time, so I called around to the scalpers I knew from off-Broadway shows. Landed a ticket to pick up at McHale's Pub in midtown. Scalper on the phone: "Fifty bucks. You walk into McHale's, get a pint, give the bartender my name and yours, and you're all set. There's an envelope behind the bar with your name on it." It happened just that way. And then I walked over to the Roseland to see the greatest songwriter who ever lived from about 30 feet away. Bruce Springsteen and Neil You...

Cleaning Windows

Toto - Hold The Line (Official Video)

During the Covid shutdown, my oldest best friends from back home would have a weekly Zoom call to keep up with how everyone was doing. On one of those calls, I posed the question, "Which is the best Toto song? ( Toto IV was huge when we were in 5th-6th grade). There were cases to be made for a few different songs, and this is hands-down my choice. Also, my ex-wife had a co-worker who was a real "ladies man" and his go-to pickup line was when a woman asked him what he did for a living, he'd say he was the bass player for Toto. I told him that was kind of sleazy and he said, "No, it's kind of genius. I mean, who the hell knows what the bass player in Toto looks like? They never know I'm lying!" In related news, he was in sales. What a guy.
