Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 37th anniversary of what was, until recently, the best-selling album of all time, Michael Jackson’s Thriller. It is #20 on the RS list, sold a bajillion copies and it’s just a great album. Point blank. Here’s a very weird but cool instrumental from John 5 to pay tribute. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same…
Salutations™!! We’re getting over the turkey hangover today, Dear Reader. A day that happens to be the 31st anniversary of Guns N Roses’ GnR Lies EP. There was only one single on this album, “Patience,” which is a song that I really do like. However, there were better options for this song, so here you have…
Salutations™!! So, with the title, you’d probably think I was going to play “The Thanksgiving Song” by Adam Sandler and I did think about it for about two seconds. But, to me, this is the Thanksgiving song of choice. Arlo has changed a bit from those days but then again it was released 52 years…
Salutations™!! Today is the 52nd anniversary of The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. The original soundtrack to the film is a double EP with only the first six tunes. The singles were the other five on the second side. I never pass a chance to post some Mike Massé and he does a great job here. Enjoy!…

Salutations™!! Yesterday, today, tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Those are the days that I’m “off” on vacation. I am and I’m not. I’m never on vacation. I’m always working. I will be going in tomorrow morning and will be recording The Less Desirables but the rest of the week? I’m doing as little as…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the 28th anniversary of not one but two major rock stars (at least in my mind). Let’s get the big elephant out of the way, first. Usually, I wait for this one and focus on the other and I will, still. The big one was Freddie Mercury, the first major music star…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the “Dining Area” phase of Beeman Remodel 2019 in advance of Operation: Beeman Hosts 2020. More on that in another blog down the line. But, that meant that we had to get into Underdog Records and get out so we could start working on stuff. So with that said, here’s the haul:…
Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of AC/DC’s For Those About to Rock We Salute You album. It was the follow up to Back In Black, probably their best-selling album, the first to feature Brian Johnson and the first after Bon Scott’s death. This was produced by “Mutt” Lange, as was the two previous. I’m not a…
Salutations™!! Today my brother Reese celebrates his 49th birthday. Yeah, we are brothers. Yeah, we are two days apart in age. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He’s been through some stuff but he’s always been there for me and I love him. Happy solar circumnavigational anniversary day, brother! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “My brother…
Salutations™!! Yesterday, I responded to what is not probably closer to 290 birthday wishes, be it by Facebook posts, Facebook Stories, Messenger, LinkedIn, texts and emails. I am blessed to have such great friends and family in my tribe and community. They care for me, they care about me. It’s a wonderful thing to be…
