Re-upping this piece because 1) it was really fun to think about and write and 2) maybe you missed it because of all that holiday nonsense.

Greil Marcus knows the score 🌟 Pat Blashill's TEXAS IS THE REASON & SATAWD books make the Real Life Rock Top 10 this week, as the great writer buys into "Blashill's argument is that it was different in Texas"... 👍

Took part in a fun exercise at The Shepherd. Wrote about 4 books that shaped my worldview in regards to underground music---and why it's much more interesting than the mainstream.

#GreilMarcus selected this track as one of the great vocals in rock’n’roll. He went on to describe Why as “a soul ballad so torturous, so classically structured, that it can uncover wounds of your own. Mack’s scream at the end has never been matched, God help us if anyone ever tops it”
