Great! I’m well also, thanks! And I keep doing the same thing with the challenges too. 😁🎶

Hey, it’s been a while since we’ve interacted! Hope you’re doing well, MJ! And I love that song too. Actually, I love just about everything on that album. 🎶

Does anyone know if there's a way to make it so people can't add you to Starter Packs on here? While I'm flattered someone might think other Bluesky users may want to follow me, I'd rather people are doing so "organically," rather than doing so by hitting a "Follow all" button in a Starter Pack.

If you're a fan of #music from the 1980s, you may enjoy this new piece I wrote. It's all about "lost" songs from 1984 - which was an amazing year for music! 😀🎶 #MusicSky #80s #ClassicMusic #Retro #Rock #Pop

Yes, the title is "Sex, Drugs, Ratt & Roll: My Life in Rock (A Heavy Metal Memoir)." I've been curious about The Bangles memoir! Next up for me is the new memoir from Jane Wiedlin of the The Go-Go's. It comes out next month but I lucked out and got an advanced copy of it. 😀👍🎶

I saw some clips from the Paul Stanley one and it seemed like a fantastic interview. I'm also curious about the one he did with Nelson. I'm currently listening to the audiobook of their memoir and...well...I've got kind of mixed feelings about it so far.

Awesome! Enjoy! I especially want to watch the one on Ratt. I've been a big fan of them of them for a long time but don't know a lot about them. On a related note, I've also been considering reading Stephen Pearcy's autobiography.

Great! I hope you enjoy YouTube Live TV. We got it earlier this year and we love it! And thanks for the Billy Corgan suggestion. I’ve seen only a couple of his interviews so far, but have enjoyed them a lot. He’s a very good interviewer!

I’m pretty sure those BTM episodes are all available on Paramount + or one of the many other streaming platforms I spend a small fortune on each month. You’ve made me excited to watch that episode and others. 🎶📺

Thanks for checking it out. I’m not sure how YouTube Premium works while watching videos that are embedded within articles like mine. Since they’re not directly within the YouTube site, the ads may be unavoidable. Thankfully, it usually doesn’t take long before the “skip” button pops up. 😀

Thank you very much! I didn't know that about "Show Me." That makes me appreciate the song even more. And I never saw the Behind The Music episode featuring Pat. I'll look for that one! 😀🎶👍

Unfamiliar with that one but I like both of them. Thanks. I’ll check it out! 😀👍🎶

I wonder too. I know Simon was unhappy when The Lemonheads did a rock version of “Mrs. Robinson,” so I wonder if he felt similarly about this.

Yes. Simon & Garfunkel recorded a much less rocking version of the song in the 1960s.

Just to make sure I got it right...it's basically a hard rocking song that could wake the dead, right? 😁🤘
