Here’s an easy to understand example of how Trump’s inhumane policies are directly impacting our country’s youth.
I know first hand the amount of work these young musicians put in to perfect their craft and the amount of stress and anxiety involved in auditioning for a high-level musical opportunity like this.
These kids deserve so much better, and I hope members of the band decide to participate in some way on a personal level despite their commander’s racist leanings. wapo.st

Billy Idol played an incredible set at the Evolution Festival in St. Louis last summer. He and the band were a late add when Blondie canceled their tour unexpectedly. Billy Idol’s set was one of the major highlights of the entire weekend.
Absolutely incredible St. Louis Metro District Honor Choir performance yesterday afternoon! Bringing together the best artists from across the region can only produce amazing results. The best part for me was hearing how excited our son was to be able to sing in such a talented choir. We definitely heard some future music majors in that bunch, and I hope this experience inspires our son to try out again next year.
I’ve been on a bit of a Tom Petty kick this week. I had completely forgotten that Tom did a funny thing on the CD of Full Moon Fever at the end of Runnin’ Down a Dream.
Remember that Full Moon Fever was released in 1989, and records and tapes were still quite prevalent at the time. So, at the end of Runnin’ Down a Dream, Tom tells the CD listener that the record and tape listeners need to flip their records and tapes. Very clever at the time.
35 years later, I’m sitting outside listening to a speaker that’s not physically connected to anything with a hand-held computer (phone) in my hand also not physically connected to anything playing music that’s not actually stored physically anywhere near me.
Fascinating stuff for sure, and this is why I love technology. Everything is possible!
Well, this is a massive bummer. Nothing like having to find a replacement band with twelve days to spare!
I really hope Dave and Perry hug it out in time for Evolution Festival!

Hozier put on one heck of a show in St. Louis tonight. Incredible band and incredible show!

Tedeschi Trucks Band put on another amazing show in St. Louis last night. For me, the cover of Dreams and the showcases for the female backup singer were the big highlights.
As in most past years, the band played at the Fox. Don’t get me wrong. The Fox is an absolutely beautiful theater. It is just not a venue that makes any sense for a rock band. There is a perpetual struggle between sitters and standers which often includes each group exchanging barbs. It’s just not the right place to feel rock/blues/jam music.
I do have a very simple solution to resolve all of this. St. Louis Music Park has the same capacity as the Fox. It’s outside and is designed for concerts with a general admission section and designated seating areas. So, the standers can stand, and the sitters can sit all while getting some fresh air. Problem solved.
