Bob Seger’s Night Moves is an incredible song. It’s a Mid Western film noir RomCom in futile denial of the romance that it obviously ACHES for. Its proclaimed unsentimentality is ironically the source of its painful nostalgia. 10CC’s I’m Not In Love is its colder English Cousin.

Steve Winwood sings with a voice that transmits a FULL ON comittment to Life In The Moment, absolutely SHORN of guile. That is his super power. Giving himself OVER to the song, NO SUBTERFUGE. That has been the source of his authenticity. For YEARS now.

Thank You to everyone that is responding with a Follow for @robintrower , one of the foundational Guitar Heroes of my youth & beyond. Like SRV, Ernie Isley, Eddie Hazel, & Frank Marino, Robin transcended Jimi’s influence to forge his OWN unique musical context & tone Again?🙏🏾

Graceland’s “My traveling companion is 9 years old. He is the child of my first marriage” was of a whole other ORDER of imagined biographical lyric. Masterful.

Tony Bennett. That’s how you do it. Life As Lyric. Music & Art FULLY Realized. So Hip. So Real. So ALIVE as Long As He Lived. Before orchestras. Before trios. Before the blank canvas. G.O.A.T. with few peers. 🌹🌹🌹
