Favorite band/musician you "might" worry others think is uncool

[Mr._Graybeard]

Viola Turpeinen, the goddess of the Finnish accordion.

My playlists and album collection practically scream out a description of me: White, fiftyish Southern straight cis male with a left-wing bent and a weakness for the literary. Isbell, Sturgill, Shovels & Rope, Brandi Carlile, John Prine, all the Americana typicals, plus many bands who never have and never will play a place bigger than The Orange Peel in Asheville.

With all that on the table: I will not apologize for my deep and abiding love for the Go-Gos.

I don't ever worry about that, but I had a heck of a time getting someone to come to a Steely Dan show with me several years back. My wife and her cousin finally agreed to go.

Is that anything like Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute?

It's funny (to me): At the music festival I went to last fall, I saw Brandi Carlile — but I thought I was going to see Belinda Carlisle.

I love the pan flute! I think Art Bell used to hype this band on his talk show.

The Zamfir commercial was a late-night fixture on Channel 17 in Atlanta (better known to most of you as WTBS) back in the day.

One of the highlights of my career was a one-on-one interview with Go-Gos bass player Kathy Valentine in the community room at a grocery store in Austin. Her memoir had just been published and she was about to go on a book tour that ended up getting axed because of Covid. She was so very nice.

IDGAF

Yacht rock is cool.

 

[Gutter]

I may have turned the volume up with whenever this song (or other of theirs) came on the radio.

Didn't give a F then in my early 20s, sure as heck don't give a F now 20 years later.



Still break out a few of their CDs every once In awhile.
