I rented a VCR in July 1985, since we did not own one, and asked my mom to tape Live Aid for me, while I was there at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. Mom passed away five years ago but I still have these tapes and her detailed notes.

Today’s Daily Record (October 1982 series) is Prince’s ‘1999.’ As provocative and catchy and danceable and weird as ever.

Today’s Daily Record (October 1982 series) has been ‘H2O’ by Daryl Hall & John Oates. Despite the presence of three hit singles, ‘H20’ feels like the least enticing album from H&O’s superstar era.

Today’s Album of the Day has been Donald Fagen’s ‘The Nightfly’, released in October 1982. I enjoy this album, which combines Fagen’s memories of growing up in the early 1960s with music that was state-of-the-art modern in 1982.

Today’s Daily Record has been Joni Mitchell’s 1982 album, ‘Wild Things Run Fast,’ which is a largely successful attempt by Mitchell to make a modern pop record circa 1982. Also, my attempts to resurrect “Huzzah!” are starting to pay off, at least in the English muffin sector.

Taylor and Travis are allegedly celebrating their wedding at Madison Square Garden tomorrow, which is the 75th anniversary of Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s marriage to her manager in a Washington D.C. baseball stadium. Coincidence or is Taylor about to announce her new Sister Rosetta tribute album?

Daily Record: Many Disappeared, the brand new album by singer/songwriter Thin Lear, is a meditation on mortality and mourning. It is a deeply beautiful collection of songs.

I am listening to the “Wichita Lineman” cover with Nick Cave on vocals now. As someone who has read an entire book on that song, I felt like I should start there. Also, I have a weird little possible Kiedis story to tell you sometime.

Signs about enslaved people at the site of the President’s House in Philadelphia have been taken down. Trump and his enablers do not want you to know these names of the people enslaved by George Washington at this house: Oney, Hercules, Richmond, Austin, Giles, Joe, Christopher, Moll, and Paris.

This is me with my 1975 Pinewood Derby trophy. Under no circumstances will I be giving this to our current president no matter how much he whines and snivels and claims to have ended 8.5 wars.

I was a group leader for an overnight college orientation program. During that week, I had a bunch of people at orientation sign a copy of the new debut LP by Frehley’s Comet and raffled it off to a guy living on my dorm floor. Of all the goofy things I have done, that is one of my favorites.

43 years ago today, at this exact time, I was watching Blondie play the last show they’d do for 15 years, live at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. This live album was recorded three days before the JFK show. The photo was taken at JFK. I did not take it, but, amazingly, found it at my job circa 1990.

Taking wisdom from our recently-departed visionaries, via this two-sided sign, to the No More Kings rally in Philadelphia, a city that knows something about “no more kings.” Be safe if you are out today! #nomorekings #loveandmercy #everydaypeople

Call your senators and representatives and demand that they launch impeachment proceedings against the president for his blatant disregard for the Supreme Court regarding the Abrego Garcia case. And call them about the other issues you care about as well!

It is amazing that the richest person on this planet is such a worthless piece of garbage. Or maybe it’s not amazing at all.
