What a cool band. They needed to move from London to Los Angeles because they sound like they were from the scene that included The Dream Syndicate.

Danke für deine Fürsorge, meine liebe Bixie. Wir werden uns bald vereinen, um gegen die faschistischen Oberherren zu kämpfen, ein wirklich glorreicher Tag. Bitte lesen Sie in der Zwischenzeit meinen „Achtzehnten Brumaire“.

Good morning. ☕️

Wow, this one brought me back. Another great one I grew up on, thanks to my father.

My dad could've given me toys every day of the week, but nothing would have compared to giving me the gift of loving and appreciating music (and books).

Trey retweeted a Tom Petty song, which brings me to a story about winning the rock n roll lottery

The Heartbreakers' 1st album was a flop. But, it so good that 2 years after its release it made Gold status.

Speaking of Tom Petty... I know I posted this video not too long ago, but it's too beautiful not to post again. I admit, it brought tears to my eyes. I love how Dolly honors his memory by touching the items he wore.

As someone from 80 miles south of where Petty grew up and who -- as a bratty child -- purposefully watched PBS documentaries/BBC crossovers to rid myself of any remnant of said twang...I resemble this remark. 😆

YES it's a pretty melody. 🤓

Heh, I wish. I stopped listening to my fellow Flurduh man AFTER the "Let Me Up" album, circa '87.

It is my distasteful opinion that EVERYTHING he did after that was lame. Except for that one tune, "Should've know better"?

😮 🤷‍♂️ 🤓

@InUnfunky @Bix

There was some stuff in the mid/late 80s I don't like but I thought he came back pretty strong in Hypnotic Eye and Mojo.

my 2¢

You are wrong.
I love this 1996 soundtrack that they made with Rick Rubin.

@Bix @InUnfunky

and it was Rick Rubin that did that very nice set of 5 LPs with Johnny Cash, the 2nd featuring most of the Heartbreakers as the backing band

@tgraph52 @InUnfunky
All great discs,
I look for discs that Rubin produces - even bands that he singed like this one:
