I enjoy these posts for several reasons, Matt. One, I learn significantly more about music. Two, I often learn more about The Trainhoppers. Three, I’m deeply impressed by your knowledge of and appreciation for music, and how you engage artists that impact you. Thanks for sharing with us.
I love the way you right about your passion for the things that influenced your art. Your writing feels like their songs - heartfelt on your sleeve, all out, pleading for us to sing along. Thanks, buddy!
Like Georgia O'Keeffe, who painted on large canvases to make people take the time to truly see and appreciate what she saw in the world, your musings on the things that matter to you help me truly see them in a way I otherwise wouldn't. I've always been a fan of Rod Stewart, but not like I am right now :)
I knew very little about Rod Stewart until I read this. I’m going to explore his music in May. Thanks Matt for the education. I love that your talent and passion are matched by your curiosity and evolution! Nothing stagnant about you.
Love how Westerberg makes an appearance. The book is very good. Thanks for the recommendation.
Excellent. Thank you, Tom!

Ah, man—thank you, Jeremy! We've been spinning jams and pleading with the other to sing along for nearly 35 years now!

Thanks so much, Kathy. This is a beautiful sentiment, and I'm beyond flattered.
more than likely you influenced me to get that best of 'good boys ... when theyre asleep'
thanks for that
We need to be reminded of this from time to time.
Reflecting back to Stage Banter, perhaps I should have noted this is my 20th Anniversary of making the case for Rod… lol
