I started out reading the first Rolling Stone Record Guide to see what these "expert reviewers" thought were albums I should buy--and I did--I have a basement full of R.S. recommended albums,of which,Lester Bangs was a prominent reviewer .What I remember about him--is in the clip--he hated the Doors--while I couldn't get enough.I've read other people's opinions of him and well,"egomaniac" understates the collective opinion.

Nothing interesting,but it's a memory.
P.s.One of these days I'm going to send you a version of me singing the song I did about Neil Young and covid--"A Common Cold"--with my impersonation of Young.
Maybe the "The Beat Goes On" too.I do a few impressions.Trying to get a good take on the Young song.Ten years ago I could still do his falsetto voice consistently,now,not so much,lol.But it's a challenge--and fun trying.
