  1. Went to the #RockAndRoll #HallOfFame today for the first time. Underwhelming. It's like one good floor in the basement plus a video, garage band, the walk of fame and the gift shop.

    I'm not against such places but they need proper curation. Same with award shows. It should be less about who is great but instead what's the bigger story and why do these artists, events and scenes matter. Provide multiple perspectives like a great museum does.

    It's fine but you're better off with #500Songs.

  26. If you should see me walking through your dreams tonight
    Would you please direct me where I ought to be
    I've been looking for a crystal ball to shed a light
    To find a future in me
    To find a future in me

    Crystal Ball (1976)*
    -- Tommy Shaw / Styx

    * - Yep, this is the elusive 'lost verse' of Crystal Ball ... I suppose you could make an argument that it originated in 2016 (first time recorded, live by Tommy Shaw at a solo show), but the lyric itself was indeed born in 1975 (and the song released [via album] in 1976) ... any inaccuracies here can be chalked up to the mystery behind the lost verse and predictable interweb balderdash ...
