Tribute was kind of touching if a little thrown together. In other news, pictures are showing up of Emitt's induction into the Hawthorne Hall of Fame, courtesy of his ex-wife and others. Most interesting is a picture of Emitt and his fiancée at a restaurant she liked- at LAX!

that was presumably the proud bird, which is actually next door to lax, with a view. a strange little la landmark.

That’s the same place he went with the TV producer in 2006.

Some people keep referring to the earlier version of "Isn't It So" as one of three songs, but I think they are confusing this with the three songs with Richard Thompson and the Peterson sisters.

Morbius's sister recently posted a high school photo of him on Friendbook and for a beat or two I really thought it was something from the Emitt Rhodes group. #OneThread

I walked by a hand car wash on an industrial street of woodside queens this morning and heard With My Face On the Floor blasting. It was an odd location for that.

This cool, new-to-me track giving me heavy Emitt Rhodes vibes though I think Rhodes would've taken this up several notches lyrically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QziYUqeSVe0

I also think any Eagle who says they weren't blowing rails and listening to this song from five years earlier on repeat when they wrote "Hotel California" is lying.https://t.co/F7RAWxN0lB— Tyler Mahan Coe (@TylerMahanCoe) May 7, 2021

New cover of "Promises I Made" by Black Keys guy mentioned here.Feels a little too slow to me upon first listen, but the story is nice.
“And of course the Emitt Rhodes song at the end [Promises I’ve Made]. I think that was the first song I recorded, and it was on the day that Emitt died. That was what set the fire for everything because I liked this new recording set-up and how it turned out, so I just kept going”.

Mrs. Redd is watching some new Star Trek thing and there is an Emitt-looking guy on the screen right now.

No doubt headed to the Space Lobster.
That vinyl copy of American Dream I got is gorgeous...the prior owner(s) took really good care of it. Might be my favorite Emitt release.

Is “Isn’t It So” about his mother? Although it is obvious written to seem as if it is about an ex.
