Hell, let's do this again.

1. Barry White
2. KISS
3. Jay-Z
4. Smashing Pumpkins
5. David Bowie
6. Beck

Jay-Z is the lie. Painful, because I had a friend offer me a ticket for the famous 2003 "farewell" concert at Madison Square Garden and I couldn't make it.

Saw Barry White in the early 1990s -- outdoor amphitheater, backup singers wheeled out in giant champagne glasses. /1
Saw KISS in the mid-90s on a kitschy reunion tour, in Albany.

I've seen the Pumpkins a half dozen times, including Lollapalooza and the Mellon Collie tour (at the glorious Fox Theater in Atlanta)

I caught Beck at the legendary Hiro Ballroom show -- just a few hundred folks. /2
And Bowie came out for the encore at an Arcade Fire show at Summerstage in Central Park.

I'm pretty sure half of the screaming in this video is from me:
In addition to Queen Bitch, they did this version of Wake Up that was simply mindblowing. Top five thing I've ever seen on stage.

Sure, lots of great work on NJ.
The most significant struggle over race, housing and suburbia in New Jersey took place in Mount Laurel. Two good texts: amazon.com/Our-Town-Race-… amazon.com/Climbing-Mount…

Imagine how frustrating life would be if you didn't understand how jokes work.
For those who didn't see it, this is the joke that he's having so much trouble with.
My mentions are now filled with his followers, who are somehow even worse at this than he is.

I may have misread @RadioFreeTom here, but I liked the tweet because I thought it reaffirmed that the banks caused the housing crisis. If Tom meant it the other way, he should've used a colon.
But whatever the case, @LOLBeReasonable, I'll like whatever the hell I want to like.

And if you're not only going to review the tweets I like but then call me out for ones you disapprove of in a tut-tutting tweet of your own, then I'll go ahead and block you.
For what I'd like to believe is the last time, let me note that this is my personal Twitter feed, which I do for free and on my free time.

Don't tell me what to write about (or not), who to follow (or not), and definitely what to "like" (or not). Jesus Christ.

So. Top ten albums? Let's have a Twitter war before bed.
Tom Petty - Wildflowers
Run DMC - Raising Hell
Pearl Jam - Ten
Guns N Roses - App for Dest
The Crow - OST
David Bowie - Blackstar
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
The Ramones - Ramones
Beatles - Rubber Soul
Moody Blues - DoFP
Hard to pick between this or Echoes. Others can cop out and choose one with the Heartbreakers but this is where I started with Tom and I'll always be; we'll both feel Echoes now and then but there's not a clunker here.
If I have to explain this to you then you're probably too young. Aside from Walk This Way (yeah everybody knows it) It's Tricky? It will stay in your head forever.
