Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Third verse same as the first. A week’s worth at once. That’s how I roll these days, I guess. “Today” is the 41st anniversary of my favorite Pink Floyd album, one that people either love or hate. Generally, there’s not a lot of in-between. Of course, I’m talking about The Wall. I love concept…
Salutations™!! Friday was Record Store Day Black Friday and again, I was mostly ticked that it happened. It’s a money grab and sure I could have skipped it, but that’s not the spirit of the event nor the point. It happened and although I didn’t camp out and wait, I got some good stuff. There…
Salutations™!! Today is the 48th anniversary of Carly Simon’s No Secrets album. The biggest hit, probably of her career, is on this album. It is still shrouded in mystery even these many years past. Who is it about? Is it one person? Is it many people? Is it Mick Jagger (who sang back up on…
Salutations™!! Today is the 50th anniversary of George Harrison’s masterpiece, All Things Must Pass. When I say masterpiece, I don’t use it lightly. The whole album is magnificent. I am exactly one week older than this album. George was definitely the most talented Beatle, although not my favorite. He is The BCPF’s favorite. But, yeah,…

That, and there’s really nothing else to talk about…

Salutations™!! Today is the 49th anniversary of the Kinks’ Muswell Hillbillies album. I usually don’t like when British bands do “country” music. It just doesn’t seem genuine. Then again, outside a select few, what country artists are “genuine?” Yeah, not many. Anywhat! I don’t really care one way or another about this album. But, here’s…
Salutations™!! Hello, Dear Reader. Like last week, I’ve failed you as a daily blogger. I am writing all of these on Sunday and trying to make them relevant to the day they are. This may not matter to anyone but me, but it matters to me. I am still without my laptop and being in…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I went to Underdog on Friday instead of Saturday. Friday was my birthday and that’s one thing we did! You can backtrack and read the previous two days’ worth of blog posts to read more about that. Here’s the haul: Pink Floyd – Delicate Sound Of Thunder — Die cut outer box, remixed…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was my big birthday. Today was the big celebration. We had The Beer Dads Family (the Joneses, the Lowders) and our extended friends family (The Davids, Our Jim Young) come over around 2pm. We set up a fire pit in our yard, our Alexa Dot, a Bluetooth speaker and had a fantastic time…
