Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Over the years I’ve often found that actions speak louder than words. On the rare occasion, when scary shit goes down, one often finds out who their real friends are.
I learned this growing up in streets, playing b-ball in the schoolyards of New York City. When faced with a dangerous situation, my mind was blown by the aid of a friend “getting my back,” as we use to call it.
This week’s Idelic Hour is simply and whole heartedly dedicated our friend Steven. I don’t believe I have the words to sum up the level of gratitude I have for your friendship over this past week. Bro, “you got’s my back” and if the time comes, I will have yours.
Steven, for us Sidels, today you are – and always will be – a hero! I know of no greater gift than that of music, so this Idelic Hour is for you. It’s got some sentimental songs about gratitude and friends, and then a healthy dose of the new crop of bands hitting the road in 2013.
This last song was written by your follow Englishman, Bernie Taupin over 40 years ago: “Making friends for the world to see / Let the people know you got what you need / With a friend at hand you will see the light / If your friends are there then everything’s all right…”
No good deed goes “unsung.”
Love, Jon, Susan, and Jonah
The Idelic Hit of the Week:
