Pete’s Top 10 in Music – 2013
One of my new year’s resolutions for 2014 will be to spend more time banging out some thoughts on this blog (which will turn 10 in December). It mystifies me how fast time flies between my posts here (and time…
New Steve Earle Song: “Waitin’ On The Sky”/ new album out April 26th

Ick’s Pick (Week XIX): Steve Earle – ‘Townes’
I’m sitting down to write this after the improbable occurrence of just seeing Steve Earle in the 30 Rock season finale. Oh my, what an ending! It’s a kidney benefit for Jack’s dad, and a We Are the World-esque gathering…

Steve Earle. Letterman. Friday.
Hey Steve Earle fans, watch Letterman tomorrow night (Friday, Sept. 5th). Steve will perform a Warren Zevon tune, “Reconsider Me”, in tribute to the late great Zevon who passed away 5 years ago (Sept. 7th, 2003). I didn’t know it…
