Whether you thought of her as Mick Jagger's muse during the Stones' imperial phase (and the human story behind "Wild Horses")
Or the tatty, shattered voice of the betrayal behind "Broken English" (forever her most beautifully damaged full-length work)
It's all over now, baby blue -- you were an amazing force of nature and I will never ever forget you. Thank you for the music, the memories. All of it.

🫡She just died? Wow. (♪ BLUE JEAN BABY ♪) I didn't know that... I just, uh, you’re telling me now for the first time. Huh... She led an amazing life. (♪ SEAMSTRESS FOR THE BAND ♪) What else can you say? She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not. She was an amazing woman… who led an... amazing life. Um. (♪ MARRY A MUSIC MAN ♪) I’m actually sad to hear that. I am SAD to hear that. Thank you very much. (♪ BALLERINA ♪)

A somber, Bob Dylan-written track, sung by the phenomenal Joan Baez.

There at the Kent State shootings. 💔
There at the creation of the Sex Pistols 🔫
There for the birth of alt-rock. 🎶
Still standing.
Her voice is perhaps the best of the past forty years - she could sing the dictionary and I would still listen.
‘You arrived like a day, and passed like a cloud/ I made a wish, I said it out loud’
I wish I had written that.

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
