he's playing Cairns next month, and like you, i paused and half considered going.
he's really fucking old though, and it's gonna be tough to pull off the "my missus is annoying so i am going to get hammered" schtick that sold all his records.
still love a good GT session though.
Tom Waits probably still could, was touring this year. Bill Murray could. Heard some of his music the other day as well. The cellist was superb.

Well, it’s better than the last song of his you shared at least.
You listen to @Tim s shares?
Brave man.
I had another listen.
I was wrong.
Michael Nesmith was shit with the Monkees but to his credit took it to a whole new level in the 70s.
It’s worse than the song about Sunshine Sam.
Charles Manson auditioned for the Monkees, but due to his crimes against music Nesmith was the real criminal.

@MiketheSnow they all look like they've come off a long series of very hard nights.

Well @Tim 's clip references it as the first music video which is the common misconception.
Just to really trigger you The Beatles where the first group to consistently create short promotional films of singles.
Where Nesmith does deserve credit is that when he realised how well the video to Rio had done he pitched the idea of a TV channel dedicated to playing music videos to a TV producer. A couple of years later said Produce launched MTV.
As for Rio I thought that it made top 3 in NZ but have looked it up and it peaked at #4 kept out by Telephone Line by ELO, I don't Wanna Talk About it by Rockin Rod and I Feel Love by Donna Summer then later Ma Baker by Boney M So arguably not the worst song that charted at that time given the top 40 also included David Soul John Denver The Floaters and Sherbet
Kiwi bands to chart were Enz with I see Red and Hello Sailor with Gutter Black Oh and this banger

Not my cup of tea, much preferred when Lindsay sang to be honest.
In any case she sold a fuck ton of records so good on her.
RIP.
I’m in the other camp. I alwAys thought that when Fleetwood Mac teamed up with Bukingham Nicks and went all soft rock west coasty, they lost a lot of wha made them a serious band. Still made some good stuff but so different.
Currently watching a doco on BBC4 about Ms Perfect. Good watching
I’m different again. Take nothing away from C McVie, a wonderfully talented, beautifully voiced musician ….
But Stevie Nicks is arguably the best singer / front woman in rock history. Her voice and presence is second to none IMHO.

You’ve got that bit right. For starters Fleetwood Mac barely qualify as rock…..and I’d pick Joan Jett, Ann Wilson, Janis Joplin and indeed her own recently departed band mate over her.
@Bovidae it’s amazing how many people don’t know about their early stuff when they were all blokes and released some bluesy crunchers.
Just goes to show that chicks ruin everything.

There’s a qualification? I didn’t know there was even a test 🤷♂️

I can't really think of another genre outside rock. They certainly aren't pop & I'm not sure I'd call them progressive either! Wikipedia says they are a rock band as well, and that's about as gospel as the internet gets .... (taking the piss obviously).
Music obviously very subjective here and we clearly differ, but for me Nicks followed closely by Chrissie Hynde are a cut above. I just think they have beautiful voices.
Won't disagree with you on Joplin, epic voice. But a very different genre of music.

Yeah Rock is pretty broad. I think a bit heavier when I think of that word. …but yeah, they’re not pop either.
