The Bottle Rockets are one of my favorite bands. This is their website including their farewell message from 2021.
Some of their music is on the Internet Archive.
There are lots of videos on YouTube. Here are some longer ones.

Muswell Hillbillies/Everybody’s In Show-Biz reissue coming in September
Muswell Hillbillies is my favorite Kinks album. Everybody’s In Show-Biz, is good, not great. I like the live disc which was a good representation of their shows around then (1972) – I saw one.
The Paranoid Style always has great posts about music.
Jerry Allison, drummer of Buddy Holly & the Crickets
The Mothers of Invention live in 1968
I saw them in 1969 and I would say it was similar to the first two clips – mostly instrumental instead of songs.

Joe Louis, one of the greatest boxers ever, inspired many songs. He isn’t forgotten but I don’t think today that we understand how famous and important he was back then.

Joe Walsh owns Klaus Voorman’s cover art for Revolver
Klaus Voorman, an old friend of the Beatles since their days in Hamburg, did the front cover art for Revolver, the Beatles album from 1966.
I didn’t know until yesterday that Joe Walsh owns it. The Rock and Roll Detective, the author of the article I linked to, tracked it down and even told Voorman where it was. It doesn’t say how Walsh acquired it.
Sad!
