   Or, um, a little older than 10 in my case. When I was 10 I was listening to early sixties soul music in Pittsburgh. But, I loved the Doobie Brothers later on not to mention the deluge of great rock in the 1960s through 1980s.

     I was about 5 when this came out. But I didn’t listen to it until I was 14.

       I declined listening to the Dead until my late 20’s. One of the many delicious life pleasures I began experiencing thanks to my wife.

   I’ve always loved popular music. When I was about eight years old, Santa brought me a little transistor radio (it even had a wrist strap). I took it everywhere so I could listen to Top 40 rock. When I got to high school, it was WVUD, the Voice of the University of Dayton. They played more hard rock and stuff you didn’t find on other broadcast radio. And then, WOXY, the Modern Rock station in Oxford, Ohio, They played lots of Indie rock and pop, and even though their signal barely reached Dayton, I sat and listened to them every night. They were mentioned in the movie Rainman, as Ray drove through SW Ohio. Their catch phrase was BAM! The Future of Rock and Roll.

   I listen to indie rock more now. I’m woefully ignorant of contemporary pop music. I love a band called Radical Face, which is sort of folk rock or indie. My Led Zep days are in the past and not likely to be resurrected.

   Funny how music is woven so deeply through our lives.

   In light of the Gulf catastrophe currently unfolding, this seems appropriate:

   Damn, that was a long time ago. McDonald KILLED the doobies. Here’s a clip with ex doobie Skunk Baxter pairing nicely with the late, great Richie Heyward as they back the mighty fine Linda.

     He killed what was a pretty damn good band. But he made an even better record doing it.

     Hard to imagine more apropos than that.

      . . . come down in a railroad train
     With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand
     President say “little fat man, isn’t it a shame
     What the river has done to this poor cracker’s land?”
