I admit I kinda teared up watching Mavis cry while listening to the raw, unaccompanied tracks of Pops' last album

I've only heard clips of that and the recent Mavis stuff, but it all sounded p good tbh.

Given all the musical artists passing away recently, I was more than a little hesitant to click on this thread.

she looks like she is in great shape tbh, still working/motivated, she is really inspirational.
was also surprised by Dylan's appearance (feel like he never appears as a talking head in *anything*), and by the fact that apparently he had quite a crush on/flirted with Mavis in the early 60s

X-post- will have to check out the effort with Harper. Something about Jeff Tweedy’s work with her rubbed me the wrong way. The whole we need an indie rock guy to market and present her thing. Kinda like Bettye Lavette and her Dylan and Who covers

Nice bit of footage if you can ignore the pop-ups that keep, er, popping up every five seconds.
