Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 31st anniversary of Alice In Chains’ debut album, Facelift. Hard to believe it has been that long. Seriously. I did this song in the first band that I was the singer (and bass player) of. I think I did just as good as these guys, but this is a decent version….

Salutations™!! Today is the 11th anniversary of The BCPF’s and my first date. Mind you, she was The BCPF before we were officially dating. She got her name before this. Which, by the way, if you’re new or have forgotten what BCPF stands for… it’s Beautiful Close Personal Friend. But, I took her to Charlotte…
Salutations™!! Yesterday, Tawny Kitaen, the smoking hot girl dancing on the hoods of two cars and pulling David Coverdale into the back seat of his car in the Whitesnake video for “Here I Go Again,” passed away. The coroner hasn’t yet determined the cause of death. She was also the legs on the cover of…
Salutations™!! The BCPF works for a non-profit that is a trade association for multi-family housing in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina.

Spector was serving out a 19-to-life in prison for the murder of Lana Clarkson whom he shot in his mansion/castle in Los Angeles. Be that as it may, he was previously best known for his…
Salutations™!! Christmastime is upon us. This means an end to the year (one in which we all can’t wait to get out of), an end to the exploitation of goodwill for commercial purposes, an end to the religious inundation to an appropriated Pagan ritual and celebration and the slow-season for new music releases.

Salutations™!! Today, the Vagabond Saints Society released our version of the Band-Aid classic, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” I had the pleasure of singing the Paul Young parts, which, if you know the tune, he started it all off. I figure, too, if you’re going to look the way I do, then you have to…
Salutations™!! 40 years ago today, the musical world stood, sat, watched and listened as a terrible travesty was announced to the entire world. I was 10 years old and like the rest of the world, I found out that John Lennon had died while watching Monday Night Football. Howard Cosell delivered the news at the…

Salutations™!! Happy All Hallows Eve! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“I was struck by lighting, walkin’ down the street. I was hit by something last night in my sleep. It’s a dead man’s party who could ask for more? Everybody’s comin’, leave your body at the door. Leave your body and soul at the…
Salutations™!! Dear Reader… (yes I know it’s been a while since I’ve addressed you directly) what in the wide world of sports is happening out there today? Not once, not twice, but about four times today I got behind someone who was driving at least 15 miles per hour below the posted speed limit. I…
