lefsetz is definitely thinking of "a long december" by the counting crows, no?
― kissinger on my list (voodoo chili), Monday, 29 January 2024 18:15 (three months ago) link
no, he actually links to the song at the beginning, but "a long december" would make a lot more sense

lol just amazing
But on this extremely warm late January day in Southern California it’s in the mid-seventies and Felice opened the windows and the bubbler in the birdbath was driving me crazy, distracting me, getting under my skin, so I got up to shut the windows and that’s when my eye caught Alexa. I wasn’t looking, but I saw what she had to say, and it was “December.”
Now oftentimes Alexa will display the last cut you told her to play. I didn’t call out “December.” Did Felice? But I couldn’t imagine that. And I sat back down to the “Times” and my coffee yogurt and…

haha OH MY GOD LEF
I guess thinking of “December” made me think of “Push.” Which is a great cut, but I didn’t realize it until I heard the acoustic version recorded in the Star Lounge of radio station 98.7. I bought a CD of performances on the station, at Music Plus, on a bad Love@AOL date. Well, it was a little more complicated than that. I drove to the far west valley to sit down at a sushi bar where the woman professed love at first bite, which freaked me out, but by time I’d calmed down she wasn’t as infatuated, and then I played Van Halen’s “And the Cradle Will Rock…” at top volume on the Alpine/ADS system in my car and that sealed the deal, as in she put her hands over her ears and insisted I take her back to her automobile.

There are a few Collective Soul songs I hear all the time, and they all sound like someone else. "Shine" (a cross between STP and Supertramp?) "December" (Alice in Chains? Pearl Jam's "Glorified G"?), "The World I Know" (Goo Goo Dolls).

I like the system brand notes....if the "Steve Hoffman Forum" was more akin to the "Penthouse Forum" I would suspect Lef of having constructed one of those elaborate fake annecdotes...

Have never listened to his podcast. He’s hyping his interview with Christopher Cross on it :
I loved talking to this guy. He wrote songs, played in cover bands and then connected with a last chance demo tape. He's a fan, just like you and me. You're going to enjoy this.

Yep. Lefsetz age group.
His broad statements and judgments are something—
Elon Musk is more of a rock star than anybody making music today, and this didn't used to be the case. If you wanted to know which way the wind blew, you listened to a record, not anymore.
This bothers me, how the MTV paradigm of a worldwide hit single now dominates. That there's no parallel alternative music and culture, of any significance, but they call it the music "business," and everybody follows the money. Starving artists don't pay fealty to the work, they just complain that they don't get paid.

😂 omg Lefsetz says he hates America cause of people like me and of all things holds up my dear late friend Tom Rapp as an opposite ideal - does he know Tom and I made music together?? And that Tom stood up for workers both in his job as a civil rights attorney and as an artist?? https://t.co/yoWNaTWMeg— Damon K 🎤 (@dada_drummer) March 28, 2024

From Damon Krukowski's Substack:
'#BandcampFriday remains an excellent way to directly compensate musicians for recordings. All our Damon & Naomi albums are pay-as-you-wish, unless you are Bob Lefsetz in which case they cost $10,000 each'

we should all try to dogpile on lef right now and maybe the onslaught of beef will cause him to retire in shame.
