Something I am missing, at the moment, about the times when the other social media place was still pretty good, were when I could be listening to some music and just... tell some famous musician how much I enjoy it.

Like, not once but several times.

I remember Vernon Reid of #LivingColour being particularly awesome about it when I would gush about him shredding

“Open Letter (To A Landlord)” by Living Colour (1988)

A stunning debut record, yet one I seldom see mentioned among the Led Zeppelins, Van Halens, and Appetite For Destructions.

Completely stopped me in my tracks hearing this for the first time in high school, probably on MTV.

The second single, “Cult Of Personality”, had the same affect on me that others would attribute to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” just a couple years later.

#WMPG has some great DJs. Just heard this classic on the show "Fugue State" with DJ Evan!

"I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
Oh, I'm the cult of personality

Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality"
- #CultOfPersonality, #LivingColour, 1988
