It wasn’t rare to see her celebrated as the Queen of Country. But Dolly Parton was so much more than that, an American treasure who spoke to countless generations. I wrote about what I believe to be her 10 best songs to celebrate her legacy at @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…

By the time I got into @thebeatles, they'd been broken up for years. That made their solo work the closest thing I had to the excitement of new Beatles music. Celebrating Ringo Starr in this best-songs list was a true joy. @azcentral @ringostarrmusic azcentral.com/story/entertai…

The Replacement's 'Tim' is as powerful an evocation of working class life as any by Springsteen or Pulp. Resentment and joy dwell in nearly every detail: bus route-courtships, scared-but-stalwart-single-mothers and the watering holes where every night dreams both blossom and die.

This weekend at @themarqueeaz! Had exactly the sort of conversation I was hoping I would have with Steve Jones of The @sexpistols to preview their concert in Tempe. The man holds nothing back. It was a very entertaining chat for @azcentral. azcentral.com/story/entertai…
