#whatimreadingnow … I have so many books on my to-read pile waiting for the appropriate time for me to open them, and being on the cusp of a new year seems the right moment to crack the cover of Last of the Better Days Ahead by one of my favorite #minnesotamusicians, @charlie.parr. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen Charlie play, from the @turfclubmn to small venues throughout MN. But I have fond memories of that first time I saw him take the stage. It was back 10+ years and over in Bayfield, WI, at Big Top Chautauqua. I was there to see Greg Brown. I had no clue who the opening act was, so when this dude with a scruffy beard, blue jean overalls, and a beat-up baseball cap walked onto the stage, I thought he was just a stagehand checking on things. The silence that washed over the audience at that moment hinted at the musical treat I was about to experience. I’ve been a fan since, and if his book is half as good as some of his songs, then it’ll be a damn fine read. And if plans work out, he’s got a residency at the Turf Club this January. Hopefully I can make that a countless + 1 times I’ve seen him play. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2JFCZp73V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today's Rolling Stone Redux is dedicated to the one and only Prince Rogers Nelson and Vanity Matthews. Bella calls this cover "Prince and the Ruffolution." I don't have the heart to tell her she's got her chronology all wrong. Caray calls it "When Dogs Cry." I agree with the sentiment at least... Anyway, the world just isn't the same without you, Prince. RIP prince and vanity. 🕊💜✨ Thanks for the request @keriecho and @ronklyn, as well as your help! 🙏 keep your requests coming, we have 17 days/covers left! #doggodoesarollingstone#doggo #doggos#rollingstonereduxdoggodoesarollingstone#rollingstonedogredux #rollingstoneredux#rollingstonemagazine #miniaussies#aussies #dogs #dogsofinstagram#miniaussiesofinstagram#aussiesofinstagram #australianshepherd#prince #princerogersnelson #vanity#vanitymatthews #princeandtherevolution#minnesota #chanhassan #minneapolis#mn #minnesotamusic#minnesotamusicians #whendovescry#paisleypark #purplerain #vanity6#firstavenue
