@michaelbarthel Why thanks!

It's pub day for Hound Dog. My 33 book put Axl re Kurt re the decline of rock and rock criticism. This Singles one is Thornton v. Presley (plus "Doggie in the Window" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog") re how the battle fought to extend rock via punk became a debate around inclusion.

@doctaj Look at what Keith Harris is up to now! (Or were you getting to that?) Two years in and working so far, he reports. https://t.co/M45bP3mapc

[eric weisbard @eweisbard]

For the record, I prefer Facebook and only went to Twitter, and now Bluesky, for those friends who disagreed. (And NBA time-outs.) If that subset goes to Threads, so will I, but Facebook remains fine for paragraph-long writing between people actually in my life cohort.
