If you don't mind me asking is it because drummers are scarce in your area? I can understand that.
It's kind of that, also I'm a shy person. I suppose I should reach out again.
I learned drums and play them on my recordings.

Reading Thurston's silly biography. At one point he makes the point that the first wave of Punk (Television, Patti Smith, Stooges, Ramones, Richard Hell, Talking Heads, Dead Boys) were all pretty much into their 30's by 1980. This makes them contemporaries of the classic rock bands. Debbie Harry is actually older than Robert Plant. Perhaps obvious, but never really thought about it that way, considering how "different" they sounded, the focus on Punk as youth culture.

I didn’t care for “Fast Car” when it was an inescapable hit in the late 80s. It’s grown on me since.

The new country cover, whatever.

The Grammys suck.

. . . but the performance of “Fast Car” from the Grammys hit me right in the chest.

It seems like something the RIAA cooked up cynically, and some of the audience reactions are a little too “I am SO MOVED BY THIS,” but what happened on stage just seemed completely free of cynicism.

Yeah, I was never a fan of the song but it has grown on me a little recently. Won't change it if it comes on.
Also liked the Grammy performance.
