The Yank release throws on the single “All Around the World” - how can you not like that? “Standards” is the other stand out track. Otherwise, it’s pretty forgettable.
Now reading: Jennifer Egan, A Visit From the Goon Squad. 13 interrelated short stories concerning a 44 year old music industry executive and his 35 year old assistant who tries to look younger than her years. Set in San Francisco where the guy had a punk band in the early 80s, some flashback stories about that scene. So far this is decent but I have no idea why they thought it deserved to win a Pulitzer Prize.

I listened to "All Around The World" along with the rest of it. -

I'd think that by this point, ridiculing rock bands for being too old is for old people. -

The one and only appeal of the Doors is and always has been that Jim Morrison is sexy and cool and sexy. Either you really fall for his bullshit as a teenager or you think they're boring and overrated (nt) -

- I'd counter that the main appeal is Ray Manzarek's organ playing - Ken Dec. 29 11:57 PM
