50 years ago tonight, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 1975, Steppenwolf returned to the Brown County Arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for the second time in a year. The opening act, Slade, blew away the crowd until Steppenwolf finally got it into gear.

50 years ago this week, in mid-September 1975, these were the top 10 songs in America. Kind of a mixed bag. 5/10 at best for me. Your mileage may differ.

Warren Zevon died 22 years ago today. Now an entire generation has grown up without him. As you wonder what he would have thought of 2025 -- and sure wish we had him here to weigh in on these times -- enjoy every sandwich. youtu.be/ODRGLFQ-QcY?si…

Long ago, my friend Larry tipped me to "Can't She Tell," a Billy Preston-Sly Stone single from 1966. I recently tipped my friend Bill to it. Bill found Capitol promo and swirl label 45s and sent me the promo 45 ... plus this sweet George Scott 3D card from 1976. Dig it!

As you remember jazz great Chuck Mangione, gone this week at 84, remember also that his brother Gap Mangione's cover of the Beatles' "The End" was the outro music for Brewers radio broadcasts for years. youtu.be/ACnaHeawyvQ?si…

On this day in 1972, George Carlin was arrested for doing his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" bit at Summerfest in Milwaukee. From the LP warning label: "Hearing it could infect your mind, curve your spine and lose the war for the allies." youtu.be/uoW42kJVgs0?si…

50 years ago today, on Thursday, July 3, 1975, Summerfest opened an 11-day run at the lakefront in Milwaukee with two shows by that day's headliners, the Beach Boys. That year's group of headliners was solid. Quite a lineup.
