I am amazed he lasted this long!  
 

Great band, Fairy Tale of New York and A Pair of Brown Eyes are my faves.

Yes, when you watched the documentaries about him- especially the last one “ Crock of Gold” you really wonder how he kept going as long as he did. Time to rewatch “Crock of Gold” in Hulu.

Charles Munger is 99 so you could be a billionaire with many decades yet to live.

 

Jinxed it.

@nwoodman Amyl and  the sniffers are pretty good. Their records sound a bit flat though (not unusual for punk rock) and I think live the energy comes across much better.

Sorry I didn’t realize I had that kind of power. Let me give it another try: You could be the President of Russia.

I agree, it's almost a little over produced.  Definitely a band that delivers live though.  

 

I had the good fortune to see another Australian export, Parkway Drive at Knottfest earlier this year.  They blew me and the crowd away.  Got home and listened to a few of their albums and it was the same deal,  something seemed to be missing.  

 

As you say, some bands/ music styles are just better live.

Gents, AI is one hell of a drug.

My daughter took me to a Sting concert Oct 7. The guy is 74, but he looks like he is in better shape than most 20 year olds. Must work out every day.

Now that’s my kind of funeral.  RIP Shane McGowan

I do. It's sort of an irish classic now. Many Irish folk bands play it.

I like ACDC better but this is ok

I am listening to the Reigle Family band. The guitarist was in my electromagnetic fields course last semester. She is taking my Keys to Learning class this semester and has dragged her brother, mandolin player, and her sister, the bassist, to the class. This is why I love teaching, meeting amazing students like the Reigles.

Some of his newer stuff is quite good. I like the Laughing Apple. Just discovered it after going through his Albums. He made some so so stuff after taking a long break (decades!)  and converting to Islam but this one is just a great folk Album:

The Sam Cooke version remains untouched - but I find myself going back to this Al Green performance every few months to hear my theme song (so to speak):
