"...to wait patiently for the next track, thinking and hoping for something you like better. The wait is part of the practice, right?" So perfect. We must be around the same age because your writing evokes so many memories and my exact musical taste. You do it well. That entire Rod Stewart album is achingly timeless and "Miss You" stuck out for me like a sonic sore...?...blister...?...like the beginning of the end of perfect pop.
- my 2 cents: between the pool airport and restaurant I hadn't heard so much 70's and 80s music since the actual 70s and 80s. And you're right it was awesome! Other takeaway: the golf course fetish of rancho mirage area has now morphed from merely grossly ostentatious to appalling, a sustainability crime.
Love this. I have a complicated relationship with the desert. I spend a fair amount of time in La Quinta every year. I adore the natural landscape and am tortured by the water waste by the zillion golf courses and water features. Desert X does a huge amount of damage as well through the installations, the disrespectful crowds (last time they managed to kill off a herd of protected Big Horn Sheep) but damn, the soundtrack of 70s rock is fitting.

It’s hard to comment on here!!!
Great job on this. Loved the lazy afternoons at the pool and the description of the music, so like AM.
