I totally forgot this song and had not heard it for I don't know how long until @BrBallard put in in his 1/31 Coffee Doodle post. Thank you Brian for bringing this song to my playlist.

I don't know if I have ever heard that song before but at the same time it seems so familiar. Maybe it's the subject matter.

I saw Joe Walsh and Barnstorm in 1975 in NYC. Rocky Mountain Way was still a big one, Funk 49-was that them? Vince will know!

James Gang - FUNK 49. Saw them at a club in Youngstown, Ohio cost of admission $1.00. Major and "new" Bands each week at different venues. Incredible crazy times they were. Sound tracks of the 1960's and 1970's, live and in person. One reason (added to others) as to why I have hearing aids. The music still holds up all these years later.

I used to crank up #49 and the bomber and my guitar amp and let it rip when my folks weren't home. My poor neighbor (Col Robert Emmens/sp) from Doolittles raiders would leave angry messages on my parents tape voicemail (which I would erase before they got back from running errands). I feel like such a bastard for it now, but, it was funk #49 after all.

I did a memory re-check and realized I had to have seen Joe Walsh in 1972 or 1973, and it was at the Academy of Music. In any event, here is Funk #49 from 2006:

My neighbor passed away last Saturday, his funeral was today. He had a bit of a reputation for being grumpy but in reality he was a very kind man. He just didn't like fools. He was able to only spend one month in a nursing home after a very independent almost 87 years. I will miss him and hope we meet again.

Just saw Eagles and Joe in concert last summer in Indy. He said, " I went to a party and stayed up three days in one night". Figure that one out. Good song.

I stumbled on this podcast and it only took a few minutes to realize it is superbly done. Do you remember the college admissions scandal with society elites like Felicity Huffman, Lori Loughlin, and other wealthy and influential people where they bribed their average intelligence, or worse, children into prestigious universities? This podcast takes a deep dive into how the system was exploited, who did it, how they got caught, the legal unfolding, and its impact on the rest of us. I guarantee if you start listening you won't want to stop. I found it to be a very refreshing approach to journalism.

Let me know how you like it. I just finished the series this morning. I thought it was exceptional.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the audio to work so I read the transcripts from 4 of them. Do you need an Apple device for the audio? I do have an Apple account so I could sign in. The most unbelievable one so far is about the frat at the College of Charleston making fake Xanax and selling it all over the country.

I listened to it on my iphone with the podcast app. But I also successfully clicked the links to each episode in my earlier post and they play in my internet browser. It took a minute to start but they played.
