This seems appropriate in light of the news that ESPN plans to let politics invade the sanctity of our Saturday football watching. It’s Little Feat, performing “Apolitical Blues”, with the incomparable Mick Taylor guesting.

“Not playing for NIL deals. Not playing to go viral. Not playing for TikTok,” (Nolan) Smith said. “Playing for the guy next to you and being able to push with him through tough situations. I would love for the guys to take that into next year. Don’t play for money. Play for your ‘why’ — why you play football.”-- The Athletic, 7/20/22
Great way to open a Saturday morning Senator. Lowell George is surely missed.

Mick Taylor has never gotten enough credit. One of the all-timers.

I think that was one of the reasons he left the Stones….Jagger wouldn’t give him credit for his contributions to songs and Keith was jealous of his ability.
Taylor still tours with Dylan.

very cool that’s the southern-est non-southern band I’ve ever heard.

Great pick, Senator. As a blues-bases, rock’n’roll (with some acoustic americana in for good measure) player, I’ve always had a major appreciation for Taylor. And, as I think you’ve mentioned a time or two, the Stones were never greater than during the Mick Taylor era.
I’ve always dug on Little Feat pretty good although I’ll take the Robert Palmer version of “Sailing Shoes” any day of the week…
