1 2025 - Happy new year to the blogosphere
2 Watched: Yellowstone Season 3
3 Listening: Aimee Mann - Bachelor No.2
4 Reading: Testimony - Robbie Robertson
I'm nearly done and I'm not sure if I like him or not. He may be the only musician in the history of the world to go on the road and be faithful to his wife (and three children). Maybe - he certainly doesn't confess to any dalliances along the way in his book.
Most of it centres on a narrow period from when he started being a musician to when The Band were in their prime. I'm on page 420 (out of 494) and he's not even up to The Last Waltz yet!
He does write well, and I'm fully engaged - especially in the chronicling of his relationships with Dylan and Levon Helm.
5 Listening: WTWMC - Loved Ones
The playlist is complete - 135 to celebrate our loved ones. It's a pretty darn impressive playlist made with love.
Our attention shifts to our favourite Kiwi artists next week. Thirty songs for each amigo, spread over 6 weeks.
Overtime:
Writer Susan Sontag on finding the courage to change this year (courtesy James Clear):"I must change my life so that I can live it, not wait for it."
