Wow!

What do you see? Debbie Piper said that during her flight, she looked out the window and saw this guy!

I see sunglass, curly hair and a little frown?

Years grow shorter, not longer,
The more you've been on your own.
Feelings for movin' grow stronger'
So you wonder why you ever go home,
Wonder why you ever go home.

The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde is still rocking at age 71, and while some artists may dread getting older, she seems to be embracing it. “I don’t mind getting older. I do mind getting uglier,” she shares in a new feature in The Guardian.

Hynde believes “there are so many great things about getting older,” noting, “For example, I don’t think there’s very many things that I know now that I didn’t know when I was 16 – but there’s a big difference between knowing something and realizing it. Realizing something takes 50 years.”

Hynde, who turns 72 in September says, “I’m more relaxed now, if you can believe it,” sharing, “This is the real mellow version of me. Ageing is like being a pothead again. Though that’s not to say there are not things that wind me up daily.”

You can hear the Pretenders streaming at K-ZAP.org, the free K-ZAP app, and 93.3FM.

Happy Monday everybody. Hope everyone had a happy, relaxing music-filled weekend. What a beautiful, gorgeous weekend it was and what a long strange trip it’s been. The Saint has had a real rough go of it and a crushing, heartbreaking few years. You’ve all had our backs and have helped us to survive disaster after disaster no one could have anticipated from the apocalyptic shutdown and beyond. Thank you. We are indebted to you and because of you we are here. The hard knocks, one after another, life on life’s terms. We have held on and feel stronger than ever with the support and guidance and super powers of soon to be new partners and we couldn’t be more thrilled or grateful. We are hopeful and excited to be rising from the ashes real soon by way of this soon TBA brilliant new partnership, very, very soon. Thankful is an understatement. We will be seeing you all doing what we do real soon. We love you and can’t wait to see you at a show. Love and rockets, The Saint 🌸🩷💕🌈🌻

I found a bunch of old disposable cameras, brought them to CVS, and just picked them up yesterday. A lot of the pictures were from 2000/2001, when my Dad and I were constantly driving across the country, touring in his blues band.

He was 2 years sober, had just filed bankruptcy, and was 1 year past his radiation treatments for throat cancer. His voice, ravaged from the radiation, was always hovering just above a whisper. He couldn’t sing a note, but told me he was determined to be the best blues drummer there was. He wanted to master the shuffle, and he did just that. He changed his set up, and went from traditional to match grip. He loaded his own drums in and out of the trunk of his half broken down car. We played small clubs, dives, a couple biker festivals. He walked out every night, facing small audiences that wanted to hear him sing Cripple Ceek. He would whisper a few words to greet his fans, and then he would sit down and get to work. He wasn’t phased, he wasn’t ashamed he wasn’t afraid - he was just fiercely determined.

It was like watching a force of nature.

I want to celebrate his birthday today by sharing this picture with you, and telling a small part of his story, when he rose up from despair and changed the course of his life through music.

The lesson he gave by example was to stay connected to what you love, and be ready to follow the call ❤️
