Skipping school today. What should my “doctors note” say?

12 YEARS AGO TODAY: On this day in 2013, Portland got nearly 32” of snow. Driving was nearly impossible in the city that morning. Photo from our former Time And Temperature Building studio (taken with a potato, as it was 2013.)

I might have a face for radio. Maybe even a face for newspapers if we’re being honest! But Weetie at Mensroom Salon & Lounge always makes sure my hair is on point!

RIP David Lynch. Did you know David was once roommates with Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band?

With such hallucinogenic masterworks as 'Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive,' 'Twin Peaks' and 'The Elephant Man,' he often left more questions than answers.

Sorry to hear of the passing of singer-songwriter J.D. Souther. This talented songwriter collaborated with the Eagles, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and many more. He was also part of a short-lived "supergroup" in the 70s with Chris Hillman and Richie Furay of Byrds and Buffalo Springfield fame. I've always enjoyed this hit duet with JT. Souther was 78.

I always like to shine the spotlight on musicians who may not have been big names, but made an impact on the music we love. One of those folks is the great bass player Herbie Flowers, who passed away at the age of 86 on Thursday. His playing can be heard on legendary records like Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side," David Bowie's "Space Oddity," David Essex's "Rock On," Elton John's "Burn Down the Mission" and Harry Nilsson's "Jump Into the Fire." RIP to a truly unique bass guitar stylist.

Flowers also featured on other rock hits, including for David Bowie, T Rex, Bryan Ferry and Elton John

Update from Finland: most of you know I’m a passionate baseball guy. I took a train from Helsinki to Tampere to catch a match of a pretty wild Finnish take on the sport called pesäpallo. It’s quite exciting, with a few similarities to America’s national pastime but some rather chaotic differences. I loved it! (And the home team, Manse PP won, making it even more fun!)

Off the air this week. Enjoying some time in beautiful Helsinki, Finland. Talk to you after Labor Day!
