Eddie Cochran 🎩🪄 Summertime Blues 67 years ago today, July 21, 1958 Eddie Cochran unleashed Summertime Blues, a rock 'n' roll anthem that captured teen rebellion in just two minutes flat. Still as cool, raw, and electrifying as ever. #EddieCochran😎
What a gem of a poem this is! From the newly-published collection 'Nettles' by Nazaret Ranea, available at £8.50 pre-order price from drunkmusepress.com

Happy birthday to the legendary Joe Morello, born on this day in 1928! Best known as the powerhouse drummer of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Morello brought finesse, control, and innovation to every beat. In this clip, he delivers pure mastery with his iconic solo on “Take Five”
