The Who: Run Run Run

An update!

I haven't posted about running in a while, but I still run, usually five days a week. Last month I competed in three races--I won my age group in two of them. Although, anyone who trains and enters--and finishes--a race is a winner. As for the race I didn't place in, a 10K in Rhode Island, I had the most fun doing.

Later this month I'll run two more races.

And here's a running song, but it's about running away. "Run Run Run" opens The Who's second album, A Quick One, in the spirit of their debut album. It's a proto-punk tune, but the album veers into all kinds of different directions--in a good away. The album art is a giveaway that A Quick One was an adventurous effort.

Wish me luck in my races!

MASSIVE migrant caravans head to US after Democrats' sweeping midterm wins

As was the case in 2020 after Joe Biden's election, the leftist media isn't reporting on the migrant caravans headed to the border.

But Fox News is.

Someone needs to tell these migrants that Donald Trump is still president.

Martha Reeves: Wild Night (Van Morrison cover)

When you think of cover versions of Van Morrison's "Wild Night," usually John Mellencamp and Meshell Ndegeocello's 1994 recording comes to mind.

But 20 years earlier, Martha Reeves pounded out a powerful version on her debut solo album, which was produced by a hot producer of the time, Richard Perry.

The album was dominated by many top session musicians from that era, among them Billy Preston, Klaus Voorman, Nicky Hopkins, and Jim Keltner.

I don't know if they played on this cut.

Reeves does a spectacular job on this song. However, Perry's production was a bit over the top. A singer with Reeves talents didn't need a huge amount of support.

But still, this is a killer performance by Reeves.

This song was included on Thelma and Louise soundtrack.

The Tornadoes: Telstar

Happy Halloween!

Here's a spooky tune, well, sort of that is. It's "Telstar" by the Tornadoes.

It's where surf music meets science fiction.

Earlier this month I reviewed--the link to it is below the video clip--Tales from The Rock ‘n Roll Twilight Zone, a new book by Richard Syrett.

One of the artists whose story he told--a sad one, by the way--was of Joe Meek, a British producer. 

He wrote and produced "Telstar." Also, he used sampling techniques. He was years ahead of his time.

As was this song.

Oh, Telstar 1 was a very early communications satellite.
