Imagine his life if he said yes to Jimmy Page.

That single disc compilation of Terry Reid's 60s songs released in the US called Superlungs was a favorite listen of mine for awhile.  Last I recalled hearing anything about him, he had been reduced to playing dive bars, but according to The Wikipedia he had a successful UK touring career in the 2000s

if he had accepted page's invite, we wouldn't have led zeppelin.  would have been something different... maybe better, maybe worse, but given what zep became i'm perfectly OK with him turning down the offer and recommending plant and bonham instead.

now deep purple - that would have been a better fit, IMO - they were a revolving door of singers.

Eddie Palmieri


Absolute legend.

Fortunate to see him for free on national mall one year as part of DC Jazz fest…saw Wayne Shorter that same afternoon

Those were the days for Jazzfest.

Jim Lovell

Weird. I’m about half way through a rewatch of Apollo 13

[grateful tagle zuppi pizzaboli]

At least we still have Hannah Lovell: "Touches of Richard Dawson, PJ Harvey, Nirvana" "Each song is its own world""Poetic and feminine voice with punk and metal riffs underneath""Deadpan humour and satire" "Marianne Faithful meets Sylvia Plath meets Baby from Dirty Dancing","The Pixies meets Waitrose"

AOL

just the dial up service
No lie, I have a brother in law that ran his multimillion dollar 'construction' business and still used his AOL account in 2024  (and recently sold , not that he got a real domain)
My mom still uses aol too


this was kinda shocking
163,401 households were using dial-up alone to get online in 2023

She later became a vet, in Richmond, where she passed.

I remember her becoming a vet but did not know she was in Virginia.
