Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest albums ever. That’s not just me, it’s pretty universal. The album I’m talking about is What’s Going On from Marvin Gaye. #5 on the RS list that mattered and well, I can’t argue with the one on the RS list that doesn’t matter. I…
Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of KISS’ Unmasked, which is one of my favorite albums by them and that’s really saying something. Go listen to that episode on the Asylum: Tales from the Devereaux Diaries podcast to hear how much. Here’s one of, if not my absolute favorite from the album. Enjoy! Until tomorrow,…
Salutations™!! Today is the 35th anniversary of my favorite album of all time, So from Peter Gabriel. What is it about it? I really can’t explain it. It just speaks to me; moves me. I have the 25th anniversary box set with vinyl, CDs, DVDs, and more. I love this album. Love. It! Enjoy! Until…
Salutations™!! Today is the 28th anniversary of KISS ALIVE III. I got it the day it came out. I saw them two weeks or so before this was recorded, I think. I know it’s not full-on live but it still sounds great. This video was pieced together from the album. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog…
Salutations™!! It’s been a while since I’ve done a piggyback for The Man Who Ate the Town food blog. I figured I’d do it now. So, here it is. Hear Ray and me talk about the news and happenings in the food and hospitality industry in WSNC. I also talk about a cool thing that…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was 3B’s birthday and I got to text with him but not talk with him. But, he was working. The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records, to eat, the grocery store and to eat. But in between all that we listened to a few records, too. Here’s our haul” New Order – Education Entertainment…
Salutations™!! Today is my son’s 19th birthday… I love that guy. I remember getting up at 4am 19 years ago and getting his mother and myself ready to relieve her discomfort and welcome our child into this world. He didn’t want to come out, either. We were there by 530a and got settled in. The…
Salutations!! Today is the 37th anniversary of Chicago’s 17 album. David Foster is a genius that gets a bad rap for being to polished and sugary. I love his stuff with Chicago much more than any of the older Chicago stuff. I like slick hits and that’s what he pulled in. Here’s an interesting take…
Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of one of my top 20 albums of all time, Brothers in Arms from Dire Straits. It is well documented how I searched high and low for a copy of this on vinyl that did not include a truncated version of the tunes on the entire first side with…
Salutations™!! Today is the 49th anniversary of The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street. Many folks think this is their best album and it’s actually one of my least favorite Stones albums. I don’t mind the Stones, I just don’t like much of this album. Clay Howard and I talked about this album on one…
