Real musicians don't need "awards."


Some interesting news on Carol Kaye turning down the invite for the next R&R HOF awards.

Carol Kaye ’declining’ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction

Good on Carol for keeping her integrity as a musician.

R&R HOF is a goofy production for "entertainers" especially the last few decades.

Being in the South, punting NASCAR is not a great idea, esp. in a bar environ.....

'Stock cars'.....left turns only.....*yawn*  Just a daft draft duel for too long to hold my attention, and I suspect some go for just the shunts....
Give me a back road rally....some Isle of Man road race raucous rollin'....some Euro hill climbin'....
Just watching the late great Ken Block trashing tires in the vids is more fun than most motomuck from the NAS...

...but I like 'Q-ship' cars...streetable stuff that surprises that dolt in the Beemer that thinks he's stinkless....watching your tailpipe pop a flame on the upshift.

(Grew up in SoCal during the muscle car craze....'insane in the membrane'...)

Most musicians may not require awards, but most of them do require rewards, and that is often where the trouble starts.

Stop caring about the RHOF when James Taylor was inducted. Perhaps before that I cant really remember.

There is one James Taylor album I have always liked and often listen to as a "test" album - "October Road." It is mostly original material and showcases Taylor's voice and writing skills very handsomely, and the studio production is very good. When my sound system finally matured it was enjoyable to hear every little inflection and detail in the performance. Whenever there has been some change or tweak in my system "October Road" is one of a few albums routinely brought to bear to see what is what..
