I have the best of John Doe on right now, a true master, one of the greats:

Do you think “John Doe” ever had trouble cashing checks at the bank or reserving hotel rooms?Report
HA! Having BSed with him a few times over the years, he is just one of the nicest people I have ever met at a venue (mostly tiny places.) I am sure he talked his way through it.Report
He does seem like a cool dude.
I’m skipping straight to “See How We Are” (though I’ll miss Exene’s harmonies). Long ago, I introduced that song to an older, folk/hippieish person I know, and they loved it; such a powerful protest song/lament.Report
Yeah Doe is great. His songs are consistently powerful. He manages to channel a lot of influences without ever sounding derivative or corny.Report
I roomed with X’s tour manager for a month. Just one of his many quirks was repeatedly telling me “I always told John Doe to change his name. I’d say, ‘You know, you’re such a down-to-earth guy, you should call yourself Joe. Like, “regular Joe,” right? “Joe Doe.” So much better that way.'”
Another quirk was nude calisthenics at daybreak, but I don’t remember much about that.Report
“You want to do a guest post on KWC? Definitely include the bears (for lunch).”
Also, I am ready to do this, if you’re still up to it.Report
Sweet! I’ll shoot you a mail at the address you use here.Report
I’ve been listening to a lot of stuff, lately, but this is stuck in my head right now:

Looks like we have an LA (or SoCal, at least, with those palms) theme going.
I’ve heard this track, but I can’t decide if it’s catchy or annoying.Report
Whatever it is, it is thoroughly embedded in my head right now.
To take us across the country, here’s who I’m listening to while I work:

Electronic music is best for working. Beats to keep your body moving, no words to distract the mind.Report
Exactly.Report
There is this.

Joe Jackson has a new out, and it’s good to hear from him.
