🎵 Crucial Track for August 29, 2026: “Say Liza (Liza With a “Z”) [Live]” by Liza Minnelli. It’s Liza with a Z not Lisa with an S ‘cause Lisa with an S goes sss not zzz!

🎵 Crucial Track for August 27, 2026: “Sweet Transvestite” by Tim Curry & The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Aunt Cathie, who influenced my tastes so profoundly as a kid that I still think about her literally every single day, was who showed me The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. She knew I was gay before I did, and she loved me for being me.

🎵 Crucial Track for August 26, 2026: “Down from Dover” by Dolly Parton. The first time I heard this Dolly Parton song, I had to pull over on the highway because I was crying so hard. Here’s to the light that brought our world many a clear blue morning.

🎵 Crucial Track for August 19, 2026: “Ladders In The Sky (feat. Claire Lynch)” by The Infamous Stringdusters. I don’t know what happens when we go.
My suspicion is nothing, which is a shame because we all deserve something. We all deserve a vibrant sky ladder.
