Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! So, here’s the deal. I am traveling today and don’t know when I’ll have any WiFi to create a post, so I’m going to do the “Sounds Like Saturday” for tomorrow, which is August 1. August 1, 1981, MTV premiered and changed music promotion and airplay forever. MTV, in its true form, has gone…
Salutations™!! Today is the 55th anniversary of the Rolling Stones’ Out of Our Heads album. It’s a classic Stones album with great stuff on it and I’m not even a Stones fan. The magazine (not the band), Rolling Stone listed it at #116 on both the 2003 and 2012 versions of their list. The obvious song would…

Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of Hall & Oates’ Voices album. I had never heard this song until the Wedding Singer soundtrack. Yeah, I know… insane. Anywhat! Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “On a night when bad dreams become a screamer, when they’re messin’ with a dreamer, I can laugh it in…

Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of REM’s Life’s Rich Pageant album. It contains The BCPF’s favorite REM song ever and this is a cover of that. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “There’s a problem, feathers, iron, bargain buildings, weights, and pulleys. Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the…
Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell. It was the last one with Bon Scott who died about seven months later. This was before I got into AC/DC. Well, truly I never really got into AC/DC although I like some of the stuff. One of the first bands (that I count) that…
Salutations™!! Yesterday had to be one of the weirdest days we’ve seen in the last bit and this is 2020 where everything is weird. Even the most usual of things. So, we get up and get going. Routine. We run over to Underdog Records and I have a field day with some classical. You see,…
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of one of the most powerful hard rock albums of all time (at least to me), AC/DC’s Back In Black. It was a statement from the band that had lost its frontman, the voice, Bon Scott. Brian Johnson had big shoes to fill and fill them he did. To me,…
Salutations™!! There isn’t anything celebrating an anniversary today that I care to talk about. But, I’m drawing on tomorrow as there are several things for me to choose from. Tomorrow is the 37th anniversary of Metallica’s debut album, Kill ‘Em All. I knew nothing of them. Pineville, WV had no access to that kind of thing….

Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of both Rick Springfield’s Hard to Hold and Sammy Hagar’s VOA. I went with this one as I really hate we didn’t get to do those songs that night that someone got stupid. Just do a search for Rick Springfield on this blog if you don’t know what I mean. Enjoy!…
Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of Elvis Costello’s debut album, My Aim Is True. It’s #168 on the RS list and is a pretty darn good album. This was the big hit on the album and it’s a good version. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Oh it’s so funny to be…
