I ♥ Richard Thompson — 12 Comments

  1. Concure on RT, followed his music since his days with Fairport Convention. I have seen/heard him live 5 or perhaps 6 times. His 1000 Years of Popular Music recording is one of my favorites…. especially the tracks It Won’t Be Long and Ooops I Did It Again. RT is a welcome interlude from the nasty noise of DT.

  2. parker:

    Did you know that RT wrote a song about DT a few years ago (I believe in 2014)? He didn’t use the name, but that’s who it’s about. RT wrote it after Trump’s debacle in Scotland and the resulting enmity against him there. See this.

  3. I saw RT perform at the Andover MA library. Lucky for me, but I could not believe that the library was able to book an artist of his stature.

  4. Richard and Linda Thompson’s Shoot Out the Lights is another favorite of mine. I could go on and on, but will spare RT fans from my obsession. Next neo will post a Leo Kottke video and I will blather some more.

  5. Though I’m of the “right age” the Fairport Convention genre never did anything for me…sorry. In fact I turn that sort of music off very quickly.

    Here’s who I see every chance I get; most lately at Sculler’s in Boston, and just a few weeks ago in New Haven. Probably have seen him as much as Neo has seen her favorite. I’m sure other people will turn this off very quickly 😉

  6. ‘Hot for the Smarts’ makes me think of the Jimmy Buffett song, ‘Smart Woman (In A Real Short Skirt).’
