Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! So, here we are. Fifty. Five. Oh. 5. 0. 49+1 and all that. On this day, at 636a 50 years ago, I was unleashed on the world. Half a century old, I am. Wow. I am happy. I am healthy (as far as I know). I am in love with beautiful woman. I have…
Salutations™!! Today is the 29th anniversary of U2’s second best album, Achtung Baby. It had a lot of great things on it but this tune continues to be one of my favorite U2 songs, ever. This is a good cover, too. Also, this is my last post (ish) of my 40s. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same…
Salutations™!! Today is the 39th anniversary of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ I Love Rock and Roll album. I remember when I first heard the title track, it was as a video on HBO. HBO was the premium channel our podunk rinky-dink “cable company” offered. Two NBC channels, two ABC/CBS channels, PBS, an independent, TBS…
Salutations™!! Yesterday I spent so much time explaining why I was making up writing and didn’t share the anniversary of my “favorite” KISS album, Music From ‘The Elder’, which celebrated its 39th anniversary. I’m not going to go into my normal long winded tribute about this album. I have done that enough. You can read…
Salutations™!! So, I’m going to be 100% honest with you right now, Dear Reader. This is dated for 11/16. I wrote it on 11/22. I have been without my laptop (where I do most of my posting) for over a week. I am writing this on my home studio computer. I have access to it…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a most typical day for The BCPF and me. Up, breakfast, Underdog Records, a quick stop at City Beverage to grab wine that we ordered 2 weeks ago, home to listen to records, MIL, dinner, movie. We love those kind of days. By the way, today is the last Sunday of my…
Salutations™!! Today is the 42nd anniversary of Queen’s Jazz. A couple of years back, the Vagabond Saints society did a full on Queen show. I sang lead on two tunes and in the choir for the rest of the show. Both of the songs I sang lead on came from this album, “Fat Bottomed Girls”…

Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of Leonard Cohen’s Death of a Ladies’ Man album. Not his most widely known work, but it’s Cohen, it has to be pretty good. I mean, if you like that kind of thing. I do when I’m in the mood. This song was done by a gentleman with a…
Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of Madonna’s megastar-producing album, Like a Virgin. Her debut album had three big hits, but this album, threw her into mega-stardom. I don’t’ think she’s ever left that realm, either. I love the “Weird Al” parody of it, too. I don’t usually promote singing competitions but this was interesting,…
