#87 on #The500Blog is the record on this list that is probably the most important to me...it is certainly the one I have listened to the most times.
I had so many stories to tell, but focused on two in particular. A little longer than usual, thanks for indulging me.

Which version of "you" is going out in public today?

#98 on #The500Blog is "This Year's Model" - Elvis Costello and The Attractions (1978).

I talk "Obsession" and pushing back against Incel Culture and The Manosphere in context of Costello's second record and the accusations of misogyny that followed it.
