To me one of the brilliant things about Robbie Robertson was that he was the absolute king of playing lead guitar in a way that just sounded like an integral *part* of the song, not “here’s a raging guitar solo everyone stand back.” He weaved in between it all seamlessly.

Recently had to tell my dad that it’s actually Eric Clapton playing the solo in “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” not George Harrison and his reaction was not unlike when a kid learns the tooth fairy isn’t real. Slightly disbelieving and sad.

Okay, who’s someone you don’t automatically think of as a “guitarist” but doesn’t get enough credit for their guitar playing? I’ll go first: Bob Weir. Plays the strangest rhythmic lines you’ve ever heard, it’s like half jazz, half bluegrass, all woven into one groovy thing.

I think the best thing about jimmy buffett was his “I don’t care that I only had one hit song, I’m just gonna live life & have fun w/ the fan base that I do have” mentality is the best thing ever. More artists should be like that. You don’t need 100 hits, you need exactly 1.

Bob Dylan proved it was possible to outrun your roots and land in a place worlds away from where you started. The American dream. But today I got to see his childhood bedroom, quite literally where it all began. ❤️

Here’s my Robbie Robertson story:
When I studied abroad in the UK, I met a fellow exchange student who was from Toronto. We had dinner one night and she said “oh my boyfriend’s aunt is dating this famous Canadian musician, maybe you know of him?”
It was Robbie Robertson.

Fun fact I learned while working for Ken Burns lol: the Beatles were actually supposed to meet Sonny Liston, who refused to meet with “those pansies” and so they met with Muhammad Ali instead.

I’m a gigantic fan of ‘Nebraska’ but every once in a while I consider the idea that the Band’s version of this song might be better than the original. Those harmonies, the changes in the phrasing, great stuff.
In 1993, The Band performed "Atlantic City" on NBC Today Show with Brian Williams.
