Ira is a profoundly, lovely, significant name.
In all caps .. IRA .. is where Americans lose their
savings or Irish folks their blood..

I promise I'll lighten up

Thanks Ira!!!!!!!

Morphe brought up IRA, and there's a thing called Roth IRA, so that reminded me I never read anything by Philip Roth, who died recently. I browsed a couple of books but put them back. Should I give his writing a try?

@geezerette: I don't think so (hard to say for sure, the basement is even more crowded). But there's coffee, tea, and maple syrup to be found hidden between the piles (it's a Canadian bookshop)

I love Paris. :) So beautiful and the people are wonderful.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:42pm
fred:

@geezerette: That's so puzzling to me: it's so boringly gray to me. And the people are so casually hostile. Then again, I was born there, but never could afford to live there. We should meet next time you go there, maybe meet at that bookshop

Ira, You’re reaching the beaches — great show today!
Avatar 5:01pm

To echo Mr. Sin's thought, both this and last night's show were/are terrific. Thank you, Ira! I know you've got a band and a life and everything, but that doesn't stop me from wishing you were part of the weekly 'FMU line-up.

One of my fave LPs of all time was Fakenews. It was so unlikely, unexpected, yet somehow necessary. I just had to go with it.

Speaking as a Detroit native, allowing that the MC5's original was given execrably bad production by Jon Landau, this cover does not best it...not by a long shot.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:21pm

@Reeshard: is there a MC5 cover that you would recommend? I like covers, so I'd probably enjoy it

Superb show. I don't know why but everytime I hear Johnathan Richman I can't help but think of the Neighborhoods. I have always felt that Prettiest Girl is one of the unsung greatest Boston, MA pop/rock singles to ever be. Huh?.

Soon after I started my current job, a coworker told me in a challenging way that all alt/punks were actually art school students acting out. I submitted The Ramones as a counter-example, and got fleeting respect
