Chris Bell’s Mysterious Death and Big Star’s Music Legacy

Happy Monday! Listen to this instead of whatever else you’re supposed to be doing right now.

P.S. – Rich Tupica’s book is excellent! And reading it, I learned that I literally grew up in the house across the street from where Chris Bell grew up. Missed him by about 10 years, though.

Never Forget

An absolute classic, and perfectly appropriate for the Monday I’m having.

And It’s Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s Death On The Telly

Don’t know a lot about these guys but I like this tune. Popped up on Spotify one day while I was cutting the grass!

I was in Manchester in the rain
Stood grinnin’ at my phone, lookin’ fuckin’ insane
Cunts pushed by me, they were gettin’ the train
I thought “What would it take for that to derail?”
Lately, been a little not loose
Korn in the oven, Limp Bizkit in my brew
‘Cause reality blurs and I’m skippin’ on the true
Push away people I’m supposed to be close to
Havin’ peacetime key lime pecan pie
After heavin’ down a sausage and half a jar of brine
We’ve got the orders, we’re in the livin’ quarters
With a load of hotdogs and a heap of fuckin’ burgers
Where’s my resolve? I think you got it
Then you waddled out the room with it in your back pocket
Turn it up, mum, I’ve got prawns in my belly
And it’s Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s death on the telly
