Today is the birthday of Lucinda Williams, who is not gay, but I know a cranky old gay man in Portland, Oregon that loves her & her music. Oh, the heartbreak & pain in that voice! This song- Are You Alright? & the album that featured it- West, helped get me through a very difficult, & one of the most troubled times of my life:
I do a fair amount of posts about music, the #1 passion in my life, including NEW MUSIC & BLASTS FROM THE PAST, but there is a blog that I visit daily that does it better than I do. My friend Howard at Soundtrack To My Day is nominated for a Bloggie Award. This is no little thing... this is the Oscars of Blogdom. I am so thrilled for him to be named in the final 4 for Best Music Blog. His little joint has introduced me to lots of wonderful, meaningful music & he has taken me back to visit some old favorites. If you go here you can see the nominees. But, check out Howard's blog & I am sure that you will agree that he deserves the votes, so add yours. I was nominated for nothing, but next year when there is a category for Best Blog From A Bitter Disillusioned Middle-Aged Man Unafraid To Shamelessly Promote Anything & Everything About Himself, I might be finding myself with a real shot at a nomination.
