Hello hello! Btw “Lucy Stoners” is a reference to the fiery suffragist Lucy Stone. I remember reviewing that album back when it came out (but only remember that song now! It’s a catchy one, that Janny Wenner taunt.)
Welcome to the Thunderdome! Love the playlist, too; might I suggest an addition? I'm pretty sure Sonny Rollins wrote "Times Slimes" as a dig on Peter Watrous. https://youtu.be/M1rjaaYVOs8?si=9yUwT2QG3bmf6Y5a
I'm glad you're here. I used to follow you in The Globe and Mail way back in the day. I also bought your book "Let's Talk About Love". I've recommended it to many friends, and I've attempted to follow your method to take a long look at something I dislike. Honestly, I think about that idea from time to time, and eventually I'll write about a painter whose work I despise. I've been trying to decide who that is for years - I have a few candidates. So much to do, and so little time.

Aha! That makes sense, Chelsey, thanks.
Since Joni Mitchell put her music back on Spotify, I added "Lead Balloon" to that version.
Count me IN! Delighted you're doing this — have fun, write often, make us laugh, tap our feet, and THINK!
Thank you, Richard! Love your posts, too.
