Friends, do you ever get that urge to take in an album you loved way back when?

I just started listening again to Lou Reed's "" Take No Prisoners - Live", recorded 1975 at the Bottom Line, NY for the first time in _a long time_.

And I am rediscovering both that the 70s was so much a different time and that there is still so much to love about that album

If you need some joy in your day, this is my gift to you. John Batiste is a gem of a human being. He is also massively talented.

In this interview from 2023 with Chris Wallace, John talks about the limitations genres put on music. And THEN he genre hops through part of a Beethoven piece on the fly.

It’s so good. And Chris’ face is priceless. He’s almost giddy.

the people running #finbro #fashion think fashion is a formula they get to manipulate and engineer.

and it’s not a coincidence that the dismantling of #homeEconomics #arts #music programs in #USA #publicSchools happened during the finbro take-over of fashion houses here & in Europe. they don’t want generations of makers not buying their crap.

that’s why the fuckers co-opted #punk & #hipHop; as if they were gimmicks you buy into and not practices bourne of resistance & survival…
