Ira is a profoundly, lovely, significant name.
In all caps .. IRA .. is where Americans lose their
savings or Irish folks their blood..

I promise I'll lighten up

Thanks Ira!!!!!!!

Morphe brought up IRA, and there's a thing called Roth IRA, so that reminded me I never read anything by Philip Roth, who died recently. I browsed a couple of books but put them back. Should I give his writing a try?

@geezerette: That's so puzzling to me: it's so boringly gray to me. And the people are so casually hostile. Then again, I was born there, but never could afford to live there. We should meet next time you go there, maybe meet at that bookshop

To echo Mr. Sin's thought, both this and last night's show were/are terrific. Thank you, Ira! I know you've got a band and a life and everything, but that doesn't stop me from wishing you were part of the weekly 'FMU line-up.

One of my fave LPs of all time was Fakenews. It was so unlikely, unexpected, yet somehow necessary. I just had to go with it.

Speaking as a Detroit native, allowing that the MC5's original was given execrably bad production by Jon Landau, this cover does not best it...not by a long shot.

@Reeshard: is there a MC5 cover that you would recommend? I like covers, so I'd probably enjoy it

Superb show. I don't know why but everytime I hear Johnathan Richman I can't help but think of the Neighborhoods. I have always felt that Prettiest Girl is one of the unsung greatest Boston, MA pop/rock singles to ever be. Huh?.
