  1. Saban and Howard on the same set will be comical. One has a wealth of knowledge and insight while the other has a wealth of idiocy and buffoonery.
  2. Damn, that sucks. Started at KLBJ as a receptionist and then worked on-air 20+ years. RIP, Peg.
  3. Of course we will. But we first have to engage two or three consulting firms to confirm that's the path to be taken.
  4. The city tells the city it doesn't know what the fuck it's doing with the homeless. Shocking. https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2024/07/audit-cites-lack-of-progress-on-homelessness-strategies-issued-five-plus-years-ago/
  5. I'll always be indebted to the Chuy's late night happy hour on Barton Springs which included that (free) trailer loaded with chips, queso, refrieds, pico, salsa and more queso. When you were on a budget and especially didn't give a shit about cholesterol, plaque or anything else it was simply paradise.
  6. The Vaughan / Stones relationship was an interesting one. SRV played the Continental from '80 until early '83 and one of his later shows was filmed. A few months later Jagger was at Manor Downs and runs into SRV's manager (Chesley Millikin). Jagger openly laments about the lack of "competent" blues guitarists in the world. Millikin gets Jagger a tape of the Continental show and it ends up in Watts' hands. He's astonished and the Stones fly up Double Trouble to NYC where the latter does a gig at a trendy place called Danceteria on West 21st Street. The Stones, Johnnie Winter, Andy Warhol and others were in attendance, not surprisingly blown away by the show. While big fans, Jagger and the Stones ultimately pass on signing SRV to their own record label as "blues records just don't sell well enough".
  7. Another favorite from Corcoran's archives.
  8. Love the shrug of the shoulders at the very end.
  9. Before his first Texas concert in 1965. Presser at the Villa Capri.
  10. Great read from Michael Corcoran about Bobby Keys and the Stones. https://michaelcorcoran.substack.com/p/60-years-ago-today-the-horn-met-the
  11. So miss this guy. Thankfully, the music lives on but he still had so much more left. Hard to believe it's been almost 7 years.
