Nice double! Chatted with Chris Stapleton at a high end guitar shop circa 2017. His index finger had been broken and a tendon repaired so his hand was wrapped. I asked him if he just unwrapped it onstage (had seen him play recently) and he said actually yes. We happened to be ogling the same guitar so I kidded him not to buy that one. Neither of us did though.
 
we saw Dweezil Zappa at the Golden State Theater in downtown Monterey last night.
OMG. Amazing show.
It was talent and creativity UNCHAINED! He hung out at the end and talked to folks and autographs and pics and shit.
I did a fist bump with Dweezil Zappa.

Huge Tommy fan here. Saw many great shows, once from backstage as he walloped his Maton. Also saw him in a record store with John Knowles once, that was sweet. In a cave one time he said his guitar never goes flat, always sharp, i’m guessing prolly spasmic reacting to all the percussion, lol.
Also glad Stapleton’s hand healed so he didn’t have to switch to a left-handed guitar.

Turn it up, listen carefully to the lyrics as you watch the video. Paying only partial attention won't do the song or video justice.
 
Way back in 1982 Missing Persons predicted what we now call "Influencers".

My image is hard, and my attitude heavy
I'll take you out with the things that I say
I draw the crowds and whenever I'm ready
I've got what it takes to blow them all away
I am your social and your cultural leader
I create the fads and make all the scenes
You know about me from your weekly reader
I'm on the cover of your magazines
'Cause I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me (Notice me)
Notice me (Noticeable one)
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me (Notice me)
Notice me (Noticeable one)

My private life is scandalized by the public
But that's the price I have to pay for my fame
And all the liggers in my way with their cute tricks
Are getting over just by dropping my name
'Cause I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me (Notice me)
Notice me (Noticeable one)
I am one of the noticeable ones, notice me (Notice me)
Notice me (Noticeable one)

 
I remember that song! I have that record. I had no idea…
