I pulled up “Close My Eyes Forever” by Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne, and the Apple Autoplay has been doing yeoman’s work with the ’80s hard rock/heavy metal since.

Just musically wandering through my teenage years while working…

No one: Chris, what did you do when you got home from #ImmortalFestII?

Me: Started ripping all the CDs I bought in to my iTunes library…

DFW 🚀 DAY for #ImmortalFestII!!

Jimmy’s having his cheeseburger in Paradise now. Had front row seats at a show he did in New Orleans in the mid-90s. Really fun. #RIP

I’m going to Immortal Fest II – Part 2!

Always a good time to roll out this classic:

The band Behold the Beloved may have single-handedly redeemed the song “Oceans,” for me. It has been on my “Banned If I Were in Charge of Worship Music” list for many years. Doesn’t hurt they use a slice of Aaron Shust’s “My Savior My God” in it.

The AOR rabbit hole I have disappeared down today after listening to Revolution Saints’ latest single, thanks to Apple Music’s infinite playlist, has been spectacular. Added some new tunes to the library.

“When You Walk,” from last year’s Q.A.R., shows that Kerry Livgren and Greg X. Volz still have their fastballs, both aging like a great whiskey. Love this song. https://kerrylivgren.bandcamp.com/track/when-you-walk

Because my sister knows they’re my jam, she sends me this.
