Walking down MacArthur brought me back along with the 80/90s hard rock tributes. Mylie(sp?) does a decent job though she came up short on “Wish you were here”. Thank you Steve for the memories and I still remember the the trunk of CDs I felt I needed to compete with and Colombia House is still hunting me down for my attempt to keep up with your professional whateveraphile CD collection. Kudos to all the hard rock mash up with millennial pop. Still Jack White rocks my nostalgic heart.

Miley! Ha ha. Well, if you are gonna talk about her, Joe Elliott has lost some of his vocal range, but still has enough of it to handle most of the DL catalog. And host a great SiriusXM satellite radio show!

Ha - does Columbia House still exist? And I will now be calling myself a whateveraphile when people ask me to describe my interests.

Nice, Steve....I'm impressed by your passion and heart-felt words for an artist you weren't a fan of (as I wasn't). As I've come to expect from your writing, you pulled the unexpected out of an artist and his music in a way I doubt I could've for someone I spent literally no time listening to. That's an enviable gift. I shall stay tuned, Steve, and if readers are here that have yet to subscribe, now would be a good time!

Thanks, Brad! The whole point of this Substack is discovery, musical and otherwise, so I'm glad that aspect of it resonates for you. Seems whenever I come to the Earworm with a pre-planned topic, it gets run off the road!:)

The reckless ice cream truck that runs your pre-planned topic off the road has "Inspiration" written on the side. (Why ice cream truck?🍨😋Cuz).😁
