Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today, March 31, is the 28th anniversary of the combo of Bruce Springsteen’s Human Touch and Lucky Town. I don’t know why he released two albums at the same time, but I don’t know why Guns N Roses did it either. Money maybe? I don’t know. But, while Human Touch was the better seller and better acclaimed of…
Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of the Commodores’ self-titled album. It had awesome tunes on it and instead of looking for some cover, I am going straight to one of the 38 songwriters of this song. I’m kidding, there are only seven. Still, enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “She knows…

Salutations™!! At least I still get to see The Boy, aka 3B a few days a week. He cut his hair a little, too. He still has more than I ever had and I’m still jealous as heck, but he did cut a bit of it off. I’d say around 8 inches. A few days…

Salutations™!! We are now into day whatever of “The Now Normal.” All the work on the WSNC Hospitality List has left me unsure of what day it is and what’s going on. The only saving grace is for what I either record or release as far as podcasts go. It did throw me off to…

Salutations™!! Dear Reader, I’m apologizing to you upfront for the fact that I’m going to continue to inundate you with links to “the list.” The list is the work of Lea Metz and myself, searching for what food and beverage businesses are doing in WSNC.

Salutations™!! Today is the 44th anniversary of Judas Priest’s Sad Wings of Destiny album and while I could have spent countless hours looking for bad cover bands trying to do Halford, or at least Tim “Ripper” Owens, I decided to just stick with the real deal. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “You’re…
Salutations™!! Nothing is familiar right now. Nothing is “ordinary.” Underdog Records, while not “officially” open has been doing some social media sales and The BCPF purchased two records from Jonathan this week.
