Roger's Lockdown Sessions are really great. I really love their arrangement of Vera and its more cohesive blending with Bring the Boys Back Home, because (A) I've long yearned for Vera to be longer, and (B) something about hearing BTBBH in old Rog's voice...really hammers in how long he's been making that plea. Got me in my feelings on this dreary day.

day one of trying not to think about fucking that old man

Tried to fix this lips but I think it was a mistake using blue ink, would like to fill in the other side of his face with some more graphite

There’s something very charming about the albums musicians make when they reach old age. There’s so much more quiet contemplation of life, a matured musical expression, a confidence in their musical identity, a knowledge that they need not put on the biggest brightest show, a soft dedication to the muse.

Albums like David Bowie’s Blackstar or The Next Day, Neil Young’s Prairie Wind, Roger Waters’ Is This The Life We Really Want, Pink Floyd’s Endless River, to name a few, exude a condensed energy of their life experiences and musical inclinations that have been sharpened and honed their entire lives. These kind of albums are so very special. I’m glad my favorite musicians continue to make music when they get old, because it has just as much meaning as it did when they were younger.

forever and always thinking of that one video where the Stones were taking turns kissing a girl on the forehead for the press and they asked Charlie to do it and he shook his head and said “love is a much more deeper thing than that. it’s not flippant to be sold away on the celluloid.”

Roger my love
