German playwright Rolf Hochhuth has died at the age of 89. Started off writing plays that criticised Pope Pius XII's indifference to Hitler's extermination of the Jews, ended up calling David Irving a "pioneer of modern history who has written magnificent books".

I love Malo's "Suavecito"--more than any Santana song, I think.

I just might agree with you there.

In other news, I learned the error of my ways and when a friend posted about Astrid Kirchherr on social media I responded with a sad emoji and left it at that.

― Louder Than Bach's Bottom (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 May 2020 02:06 (three years ago) link

Oh wait, I also said something about Klaus Voormann. I guess more work is needed.

― Louder Than Bach's Bottom (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 May 2020 02:06 (three years ago) link

Jorge Santana backing Cheo Feliciano on “El Ratón” with the Fania All-Stars is a fucking amazing salsa-blues-rock jam. And yeah, Malo deserved way more love than they got.

I hope you didn't think I was tutting at you. The lol RIP made me laugh.

Sorry, wasn’t sure. Didn’t really think so, but old habits of defensiveness die hard.
