Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! So, happy Halloween if that’s your thing. Yeah, so, not so scary or spooky, I guess. but be careful as there are wee ones that are out candy-scavaging. Keep them in mind. This week on The Man Who Ate the Town, I talk about Food Freaks closing their brick-and-mortar store and then I talk…
Salutations™!! So The BCPF “challenged” me to do the Seven Day Black and White Challenge. I don’t know what it’s for… if it’s for anything. I just know that I have really gotten into working with photos that have to do with light and colors so I wanted to try doing the black and white…
Salutations™!! The BCPF’s and my trip to Underdog Records was cool because we got to see Clay Howard and two of his girls. One really must see Clay Howard often. There were a plethora of cool things to find there. Here’s what we picked up: Herbie Hancock – Maiden Voyage (suggested by my pal Bill since I’m really getting…
Salutations™!! I once had a conversation about the song “Hallelujah” from Leonard Cohen. I had talked about not getting its appeal. Then I was educated and have come to really love the song. There are many, many versions of it online but this is absolutely my favorite version, ever. This is Norwegian superstars Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Alejandro…
Salutations™!! I dropped 3B off at school this morning around 9am. I came straight home (we live 2 minutes from the school), put on some Thompson Twins, Ghostbusters Soundtrack (1984), Jim Croce, Pink Floyd, Eddie Money, Chicago, ZZ Top and Tom Jones records and proceded to clean up a big chunk of the house. I…
Salutations™!! Last week was great! I really enjoyed that one. Nothing but crickets on the Eugene and Jon review fronts, though. Oh, well. I keep on keepin’ on. Let’s do it… #42 – Machine Head by Deep Purple. Okay, so, I know I’m going to get raked hard for this, from Eugene, from Ed Bumgardner, from…

Salutations™!! City Beverage, the Official Beer Sponsor of The Less Desirables, presents The Less Desirables Beer of the Week, Edmund Fitzgerald Porter from Great Lakes Brewing Company. It happens to be one of my favorite porters. Now, yes, I know we have done this brew on the show before. Yes, I know we have probably…

Salutations™!! On The Man Who Ate the Town Podcast this week I talk about Dogwood Hops & Crops and The BCPF’s and my trip to The Katharine Brasserie and Bar. I also wrote a TMWATT article about the Katharine experience. You can see the post for the podcast HERE and the Katharine article HERE. Until…
Salutations™!! On Wednesday nights or Thursday mornings (whenever I get to it) I offer up a new playlist on Spotify. It is sometimes my list but mostly it is the playlist from The Less Desirables Network cast of characters. That means that The BCPF, Beer Dad Jon, Beer Dad Paul, Jordan from Sipping NC: The…
Salutations™!! Another truncated Saturday but we got the regular stuff in. The BCPF and I went to breakfast (I had already walked my steps this week, plus had played on Friday night in GSO) at Mary’s and then to Underdog Records. Here’s the haul: Television – Marquee Moon (#130 on the RS Top 500, new) Peter, Paul…
