OASIS ARE REUNITING THIS IS NOT A DRILL

"Rock of Ages: The Rolling Stone History of Rock and Roll", Ed Ward, Ken Tucker, Geoffrey Stokes.

This book written in 1986 is closer to the beginnings of rock and roll than to the present day 🤕🤕🤕

Also wtf happened that year that made everybody want to look back and take stock of its entire history. Or maybe it was all a Rolling Stone push?

thinking about how paul mccartney spent the year 1969 putting the five stages of grief to music and no one even did a welfare check

"I'm not romantic about that many things in the world, but I am very romantic about British front man - guitar player duos. Mick Jagger and Keith, Morrissey and Marr, Noel and Liam, Bernard Butler and Brett Anderson... And it is one of the most reliably fascinating dynamics. The way the guitar player is like "...I fucking do everything, I'm the reason this is good..." and the front man is like "I'M A GENIUS!"

— Bandsplain, "Blur with Chris Ryan"

You ever look at two guys in a band and all you can think is like. This guy is never going to get away from the sound of the guitarist that loves him.

Happy two of us Tuesday to the sweaty drunk sex these two had 60 years ago today..
