A nice article in The Atlantic about Al's place in pop culture today, even calling him a prophet.

Wow awesome article!! I wish Al had gone through every single song in his catalog for that. He was already about halfway there. Can't believe new information surfaced today on the origins of Such A Groovy Guy of all songs...

Nice that Al mentions Stan Bush by name and doesn't just lump him in with the others on the album. :clap:

Wow! That is a really interesting article. It was great to see Al comment on such a wide range of his songs. There was a lot of information in there that I didn't know.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Al should sit down and go through his entire catalogue giving back stories like this. I hear he has a several hundred mile road trip coming up

You know how somebody wrote a book giving all the details and backstories to every single Beatles song?

Somebody should sit down with Al and do that for every song.

Well, he does have that coffee table book coming out... I'd love to hear an explanation of what he was going for on some more of those early originals.
