Slammin' Sam died in Hot Springs yesterday, three days before his 90th birthday. When he was 67, he shot his age in the Quad Cities, and then beat that by a stroke the next day. His career ended with 135 tournament victories. That would be the most ever.
Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby
