Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of Huey Lewis and the News’ Picture This album. It was their breakout album, with three hits. This is probably the least well-known of the three but it’s a good one, nonetheless. Enjoy! And, I apologize for not doing a Useless Things Podcast this week. Until tomorrow, same blog…
Salutations™!! Yesterday we lost two great entertainers. One was a vocal beast and the other was a funny but gentle giant. Louie Anderson was hilarious and just self-deprecating enough to make himself more loveable. You wanted to love Louie. His delivery was amazing. Rest in peace, Louie. Meat Loaf was operatic, powerful, a larger-than-life presence…

Salutations™!! Today is the 32nd anniversary of the release of the Sunday’s Reading, Writing and Arithmetic album. It’s one of The BCPF’s favorite bands and she loves this album and this song. This young lady does a fantastic version. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“People I see, weary of me, showing my good…
Salutations™!! Today would have been Elvis’ 87th and David Bowie’s 75th birthdays. It IS my dad’s 74th birthday. I never really connected to Elvis’s music. It was slightly before my time. I do, however, LOVE me some Bowie although it took me a while to realize that. There are some slow spots in my Bowie…
Salutations™!! I hope everyone was safe last night. It’s finally 2022 and we can hope that this year is an amazing one for everyone. Here’s a great song from the Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle album. Let’s hope this is the truth. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“And I won’t forget the way you held…

Salutations!™!! On this week’s Useless Things podcast, I talked about Christmas songs and how Xmas is a proper substitute for Christmas and in some ways even more appropriate. But, I especially talked about this song and the Mariah Carey song. Hear more by listening to that episode, but here is one of my favorite groups…
Salutations™!! I apologize Dear Reader (and Dear Listener) for not having a podcast the last two weeks. I have been so busy doing the Beeswax Vinyl Daily podcast to prepare for this week that I haven’t really experienced anything, watched anything new, heard anything, done anything. Why this week? Well, with the exception of Monday,…

Salutations™!! You may (or probably didn’t) notice that I didn’t do a post last Sunday. I also didn’t do a Useless Podcast this week. I didn’t have anything to say this week. Other than it was a poop week. Last week, we didn’t go to Underdog Records, so I didn’t make a post on Sunday….
Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of Foreigner’s Inside Information album. This was the last to feature Lou Gramm as he went on to do a solo thing. This was the first hit from it and this dude does a good job. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“I can’t sleep, I keep dreaming…
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…
