(Finished November 9th, 2024) A Recent JD McPherson Setlist

Hello,

Jonathan David "JD" McPherson is a musician with an Americana flair to his music. However when you think you can attach a genre to his music the next song is completely different. He mostly has mellow and mid tempo songs. 

McPherson is 47 years old and he counts as his influences such diverse acts as Wu-Tang Clan, The Pixies and Led Zeppelin. Not a criticism: Zeppelin may be an influence, but I don't hear it in his music.

My rock girlfriend and I are going to go see him two weeks from tonight. The show will be in Salt Lake City. 

1) "Sunshine Getaway":

2) "Just Like Summer":

3) "Desperate Love":

4) "Fire Bug":

5) Baby Blues":

6) "That's My Little Suzie":

7) "Lust For Life":

8) "Bloodhound Rock":

9) "I Can't Go Anywhere With You":

10) "Nite Owls":

11) "On The Lips":

12) "Don't Travel Through The Night Alone":

13) "The Rock and Roll Girls":

14) "Head Over Heels":

15) "White Light/ White Heat":

16) "Lucky Penny":

17) "Let The Good Times Roll":

Encore

18) "The Phantom Lover of New Rochelle":

19) "Shining Like Gold":

20) "North Side Gal":

(Finished November 6th, 2024) Part 1 of Songs For Our National Nightmare To Accompany A Second Trump presidency

Hello,

On this very incredibly sad night it looks like we'll have to live under the draconian rule of president Dumbass again. I find this incredibly sad and heartbreaking. The man has no moral character, honesty isn't a thing he values and he has the brain cells of a donkey. He's like Danny Devito in "Twins", he has every bad attribute one person can have. It's going to be four more years of hell with this buffoon as our "leader".

Although this makes me very sad I did have some positive feelings. I still live in the greatest country in the world- for now. This is a time we are going to have to stand up our fellow Americans and anyone else that needs our help.

1) Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here":

2) R.E.M. "Everybody Hurts":

3) Elton John "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word":

I'll be listening to a lot of these songs of peace and contentment the next four years. 4) Lana Del Rey "Summertime Sadness":

5) Smokey Robinson and the Miracles "The Tracks of My Tears":

6) Tori Amos "Silent All These Years":

I say this about a lot of songs, but this truly is one of the greatest songs of all time. 7) The Smiths "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out":

8) Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band "The River":

9) The Counting Crows "A Long December":

10) Midnight Oil "Blue Sky Mine":

11) The Fiery Furnaces "Single Again":

12) Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling":

13) Rachel Platten "Fight Song":

Journey and the nearly incomparable singing voice of Steve Perry. 14) "Don't Stop Believin'":

15) Louis Armstrong "What A Wonderful World":

16) Bon Jovi "It's My Life":

17) Corey Hart "Never Surrender":
