Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Friday was Record Store Day – Black Friday Edition and I participated but not to the extent I used to. Since the pandemic, I haven’t had the inclination to participate. The BCPF and I did some work around the house on Friday and waited for my ex-wife to come and get some stuff from…
Salutations™!! Today is the 50th anniversary of Fragile, Yes’ fourth album. Some of the most bad-arsed songs in the whole Yes catalog are on this album. This includes my favorite Yes tune, “Roundabout.” That bass line is amazing, but Chris Squire was NOT a clean player, and that’s okay. He had a distorted tone and…
Salutations™!! So, I have actually been on vacation since Monday. I worked until 9p on Monday to not have to go back to the studio until this coming Monday. That included not doing the podcast for Useless Things. I will be back next week because I have a lot to talk about. We had some…

Salutations™!! Yesterday and last night was a night of epic proportions. I’ll get to that later this week, possibly on the podcast. I’ll have a couple of things to talk about this week on that podcast episode. But, we had breakfast, went to Underdog Records, and I got to see my mom. Here’s the haul:…
Salutations™!! So, today is my birthday, as you’d know if you listened to the Useless Things podcast yesterday, or if you know me at all. So for my Sounds Like Saturday today, I’m going to play my favorite song. This is my all-time favorite song, off of my all-time favorite album. But, instead of PG…
Salutations™!! It’s time to talk about that trip we just took around the sun. It’s birthday time. Good ones, not so bad ones, memorable ones. Plans for this one.

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I got up early and went to some yard sales. That’s the first time in probably six or seven years that we did that. Early in our relationship, we would go to yard/rummage/garage sales and we got away from it when we didn’t have much money and we got up late…
Salutations™!! As I’ve said twice this week (three times if you count the Asylum podcast, which I do)… Happy 40th anniversary to my favorite KISS album, Music from The Elder. This was probably the first time I saw them actually performing. It was rough but it was live. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Your…
Salutations™!! Time for a new podcast, y’all! Yeah, two in one week. I had stuff to say, I guess. I don’t know if I’ll have stuff to say next week or not. But, it’s the 40th anniversary this week of my favorite KISS album. Hear me talk about it here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp…
Salutations™!! On this episode of the Useless Things Podcast, we have storytime. Storytime in which we learn about Al. What Al does and how and why you shouldn’t be like Al. It’s a quaint story, a tale as old as time if you will. I also ask a question about turn signals. Blinkers, blinkahs, whatever….
