True enough! I guess I've just spent enough time being critical of music, basically approaching it from a negative pov. As in: guilty until proven innocent. I'd like to celebrate things these days. Give praise where it deserves praise.

But if you ever get tired of all this positivity, just ask me what I think of the state of current pop music - and plenty of other things - when we are out of the range of the Internet!

it's great to listen widely and I believe that 'bigger ears are better ears". But I always wonder how listeners evaluate the music they hear. We must apply some sort of standard to distinguish one performance from another. Otherwise, "it's all good" - and it's not!

You kick them cocoon walls down, boy, y’ hear?!

It’s great to read in longer form, Steve. Not as great as seeing you listen to the “rare” version of Ween’s POWDER BLUE that ends with a long Muhammad Ali “solo” but… close, very very close. 🤙🏾🥳
