Are you ready Steve? Uh-huhAndy? YeahMick? OkayAlright fellas, let's go!
Yes this week The Sweet kick us off with the magnificent The Ballroom Blitz from 1973 and still as fresh as a daisy. Amazingly it never reached number one and peaked at number two. One for John Medd I think.
The Unraveling from 2020 on ATO records represented a return to form by the Drive-By Truckers. For me it is easily their best album for at least 10 years. On it Patterson Hood vents his spleen at the state of Donald Trump's America. For an American album it is pretty left leaning and political in nature and it is none the worse for that. Here Patterson is telling you what you can do with your Thoughts and Prayers.
I'm not sure as to the politics of Little Richard but he was certainly subversive. From 1955 middle America did not know what had hit it with the release of his first single Tutti Frutti
A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom!
Can't you just put the first one on repeat?

DeleteI can think of at least 3 songs with Thoughts & Prayers in the title... and they all pour scorn on the phrase and those who use it.
