·I’m not familiar with Amy Winehouse's music but this came on the Beatles channel on my way home and I was very impressed. I mean I’ve heard her and I know the sad tale of her life but damn she really took this Beatles song and made it her own. She really had a lot of talent too bad it’s so easy to go down the wrong road for so many.

·Some early 90’s British art pop. And yes: in addition to guitar, bass and drums, The Blue Aeroplanes still have a dancer. If the clothes don’t give away the era, the Tag Heuer Formula 1 at 1:45 will.

·This ,
Coincidentally, I was at a local Hifi shop the other day. It’s an incredible place - by appointment only. Even though I was looking for bookshelf speakers, the manager takes us into ‘the room’ (Sonus Faber speakers alone were $82K; system clocked in at around $100K). )
Anyway, in addition to the requisite jazz and classical selections, he plays ‘Sean Flynn’ from Combat Rock. It was so haunting and clean, like Joe was in the studio beside us. I nearly cried.

·Watched an interview with Dylan. He was asked if he could ever write a song like this again. It appeared he almost got tears in his eyes and shook his head in the negative. When asked why not Dylan said something like “you don’t write songs like that, they just come along, I never knew where from.” Damn now I can’t stop listening to it.

·Great record. It still gets a lot of play 40 years on.

I envy you. I once had ears to appreciate that quality. Mind you seeing The Clash didn't help preserve them

·Before The Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned, there was Brisbane, Australia's The Saints.

My ears have also seen, or rather, heard, better days. I've been drumming since I was 10. I still play in four bands 49 years later; it's definitely taken a toll and the tinnitus in my right ear is more pronounced with each passing year. And yet... even with my less than perfect hearing, the quality i heard the other day was unmistakable - heavenly, really.
I was likewise fortunate to see The Clash - twice in 1982: in Calgary, and later in Seattle, opening for The Who (their first of many final tours!).

BTW my cat is deaf too 18 now but she's still doing it. My tinnitus in L and R is tough and loud and I think exacerbated by Covid-19. I reckon it was the Marshalls that did it for me. Or maybe the Fenders. Wouldn't have give it up though would we? (If I may be presumptuous)

I'll never stop playing, I reckon. While I like to blame my snare and cymbals for my crap hearing, the true villains are guitarists with Hiwatts.
