I was lucky to see Bobby open for Willie Nelson two years ago. Bobby had a full horn section.
 
What the hell.

"If you like (gag) fruit wine as much as I do" was our go-to catchphrase out that the bars during the fall chapter conference.

I saw them in concert a while back. They played for 3 hours without a break.

I've loved Three Dog Night since a I was a child. Their music will outcast them.

Robert Duvall passed away.

Just looked through his movie list & it’s quite a list. Can’t think of any one favorite. There were several.

Yes, what a list of movies, tv & characters.

Was missing the Tony from being a member of the EGOT.

Did we mention Greg Brown? https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/guitarists/greg-brown-co-founder-and-guitarist-of-cake-dies-at-56 (“His creative contributions were immense”: Greg Brown, co-founder and guitarist of Cake and songwriter of the hit The Distance, dies at 56)

I never owned Cake CDs so was limited in my exposure to what was on the radio. Recently added this total gem on Spotify:

That is an awesome song from their best album in my opinion. I think it would be an awesome cover for Taylor Swift to do

Though Greg Brown left Cake after Fashion Nugget so all of Comfort Eagle was without Brown.

Despite this, The Distance is a classic for the ages.

My favorite is "The Apostle", by far...

He was so good in so many movies, but his character in The Apostle just seemed so real. I don't know that I love the movie or really want to watch it again, but the entire movie and especially Duval's character are spot on.
 
If you’ve never seen Secondhand Lions, you need to..I can’t find it streaming however. Duvall was great.
