I'm going to miss listening to the epic "Nils" album that made it to number #56 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart back in 1979.

Robert Christgau gave that album a C+

Nils, I hardly knew ye!

I understand Al Stewart is about to announce that he's pulling his catalog, too, notably Year of the Cat. That'll break Spotify's back.

In fact, we should launch a meme war...who's the next irrelevant rocker to announce their self-immolation? It's a Beaufitul Day? Quill? If there's one thing the leftists hate, it's ridicule.

I recently bought a used vinyl copy of Grin 1 + 1, the 2nd album by his first band. I already had it, but let my ex wife keep it.

The great thing about vinyl is that, just like books and magazines, I can have my own personal copy. Nobody can come into my house and change the lyrics, or the album cover, or the definition of words in my dictionary, or prevent me from listening tonor reading something simply because I disagree with the views of the author or musician.

The digital world is inherently geared towards censorship and totalitarianism. Old left wing musicians seem to recognize that, and they love it.

He was also in the group “Grin” before that.
