So... much happening.  I was in a car for about half of yesterday.  I have just been catching up with the news out of South Carolina. Sending out good thoughts to all those who lost loved ones.  And sending out as much love as I can muster for this country in hopes that we can finally begin address some of the many issues which lead to this terrible event.  I am not optimistic about things, but I remain hopeful.  If that makes sense.

Switching gears... If you are in Nashville tonight, I recommend heading down to the Basement East for a benefit for Allen Thompson.  Even if the music wasn't going to be good, you should support this because Allen is a great guy.  But this is East Nashville and the music is going to be spectacular.  Even if Allen wasn't a great guy, you should go because the music is going to spectacular.  But Allen is a great guy.


On to the Friday Shuffle!

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Super Couple Mix

We had some bad storms roll through between 1:00 and 2:00a.m. which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to wake up at 4:30. Blah.... But, lack of sleep is part of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle right? Whatever...


Here we go... part of the fun of letting the magical mystery shuffle option pick my morning music playlist is when theme emerge out of the randomness of it all.  Or perhaps, the theme is all in my head... does it matter?

Actually a couple of thematic things happened today, but the overarching them as expressed in the subtitle of today's post is Super Couples of Music....

First Super Couple is George and Tammy.  The classic (We're Not) The Jet Set name drops Rome, Georgia; Athens, Texas; and Paris, Tennessee. Explore more about this song by clicking the picture below:

 

Super Couple #2 has back-to-back tracks on today's shuffle - which make's sub-theme #1 - The Chris and Tina show:

1st up is Take Me to the River is the classic cover of the Al Green classic song by Chris and Tina's earlier band called Talking Heads - maybe you've heard of them.

2nd up for the Chirs and Tina show is the 2001 version of the 1981 hit single Genius of Love by Chris and Tina's later band - Tom Tom Club.

More on those two tracks below:

 

Our final Super Couple and fulfilling our second sub-theme (The Genius Theme) comes from

One is the loneliest number...
I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"
