Suckier than 1968 even, unless we're very lucky. Which I doubt we will be.
[Cue our readers: "Steve -- adjust your meds."]
Anyway, as I mentioned yesterday, my thoughts on the new Dylan bio-pic and my not-quite-top-ten albums of the year list will appear tomorrow. (Barring the unforseen, of course, which is not guaranteed. 😎)
In the meantime, in keeping with an occasional PowerPop tradition, from his 1990 album, please enjoy the irrepressible Andy Breckman and his ode to feeling reasonably okay despite everything -- "I Had a Good Day."
I didn't throw up
I didn't throw up
About a quarter to four
I almost threw up
But I didn't throw up
I had a real good day
My brother didn't die
My mother didn't die
My father didn't die
My sister didn't die
Mr. Greenblatt died
I had a real good day
Incidentally, I remain convinced that the Rolling Stones are singing "Mr. Greenblatt died" rather than "You make a grown man cry" in "Start Me Up."
Apparently, I have issues.

Yes, Steve, I remember you mentioned that idea about Mr. Greenblatt and what Mick is singing when you wrote about the TATTOO YOU album back in the early 80s (!!) for STEREO REVIEW.
IMHO that would actually be a really good topic for a future Listomania: 'Most Memorable Misheard Song Lyrics.' Cuz we've all been through it at some point.
Best to all for 2025.
It’s the first day of the year and you’ve posted a contender for best post of the year.

Heh.
Oh, and BTW -- my thoughts on the Dylan movie will actually go up on Friday. Sorry kids, but this whole New Years thing has totally screwed up my internal scheduling. 😎
