More a feeling than an earworm, I guess.

Classical Interlude
I have often marveled over the astonishing virtuosity of Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili in posts of yore, so there’s no need to add yet another video to her collection here.
However, I would be remiss in not pointing out that she was dazzling (in every sense of the word) in her Wiesbaden concert back in 2012, at age 25.
In the dozen or so years since then, however, she got married and had a sprog — and the effect on her appearance, so to speak, has been quite remarkable.
AND: apparently she now has an OnlyFans account.
No need to thank me; I like to keep everyone abreast of great developments in classical music.
And she’s still blowing the lid off her piano.

One of the greatest blues singers of all time gets by with a little help from his friends.

Rip-Off Artists
Here’s a list of the top ten acts who charged the highest average ticket prices in 2024:
- U2 — £287
- Garth Brooks — £285
- Lady Gaga — £252
- The Eagles — £239
- Bad Bunny — £228
- George Strait — £227
- The Rolling Stones — £226
- Dead And Co — £225
- Los Bukis — £210
- Sting and Billy Joel — £191
And in case you were wondering, Taylor Swift came in 17th, with an average ticket price of £163.
I wouldn’t pay a single dollar to see any of them.
I have a couple of Eagles albums (Hotel California and The Long Run), and one Rolling Stones (Greatest Hits Vol 2), and not a single album of all the rest.
I have yet to listen all the way through a U2 album, but I did quite enjoy a couple of The Police ones (but never bothered to buy any).
And I’ve never even heard of Bad Bunny and Los Bukis.
Today’s Earworm
Always loved John Parr — a Brit, no less — a man who could make blues sound fine, even in a cheesy song like this one.
