You’ve probably already seen the video - or at least a still from it - but I just wanted to comment on the 🎵musical part - 🔗📼 just so good
🔗🎵 ”The most influential prog band", according to Geddy Lee
Not wrong IMHO.
My friend (and co founder of the original Just Good Music blog) John Parker sent me an email …
I have found that the number of people that really listen to music is vanishingly small, and I KNOW that you are one of the ones that does, hence my email. Every once in a while I need to reach out and touch base just to know that I’m not insane, it’s the rest of the world that is lost.
And
So you motor along and see cool music videos. and you say"yeah!" and “cool!”. And everyonce in a while, you see one that makes you close your computer just go take a walk. Like… goddamn. This is a goddamn video …
This is that video - and DAMN - he’s right.
And if you like this - here is Ren’s YouTube channel .. so you can fill your boots.
🔗 Ren on Wikipedia tells a story for sure.
As to John’s throwaway line;
“the number of people that really listen to music is vanishingly small”
Needless to say - I wholeheartedly agree which is why I take solace in podcasts like The Rockenteurs, YouTube channels like Rick Beato and Newsletters like Ted Gioia.

🎶 Apparently Vanilla Fudge could have been as big as Zeppelin and if not - certainly Purple.
Say what now? No they couldn’t. Listen to their stuff back in the day and then to early Purple and Zep. It’s clear where the talent is.
To riff on Rob Reiner’s mum …
“I’ll have what they’re having.”
And ‘they didn’t stay together’ is the excuse?
Neither did Purple and Zep - but a number of individuals in the two English bands went on to great success in solo careers.
Name me one member of Vanilla Fudge - and what was their best album.
🎶 Been a while since Lark’s Tongue were played through my speakers … and it remains just as big, extraordinary, relevant and engaging as I remember it.
🎶 Just discovered Jesse Wells
