If they made his final weeks into a movie nobody would believe it's true. Tom Jones. A Miss Universe who had lost her title. And a locket he wore engraved with the line If Not For You

American racecar driver Peter Revson is killed while practicing for the 1974 South African Grand Prix. He was 35.

Julian Cope's song "World Shut Your Mouth" appears on an album years after the one called World Shut Your Mouth. The Led Zeppelin song "Houses of the Holy" also is on a later album, not Houses of the Holy. Can you think of other examples??

RIP Ewen MacIntosh.
What a comedy legend.

@Elliottmurphy Aquashow is a brilliant album. Polydor, on the other hand, must have thought word of mouth would do all the selling.

An all time fave turning 40 today.

What's the best rock n roll title about urnination? Brian Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets or REM's "Gardening at Night"?

@50YearsAgoLive That man was Ted Bundy

[Herbie Hancock @herbiehancock]

“It’s hard for me to believe that 50 years later this record is still so widely celebrated. I really appreciate that the younger generation has discovered and embraced so much of my music, that was recorded and released so long ago.

@MJVanCity I missed any announcement that Modest Mouse would be closing the Seattle show so we walked in on the Pixies already performing .
Have a great time tonight

[40 Year Itch 🎸🥁🎹🎤 @1001songs]

In what universe do the Pixies open for Modest Mouse? I guess when MM is playing in front of a home crowd at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Aren but the band we came to see seemed to rush through their set. No encore. And some disappointing late arrivals .
