Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! As you may or may not know, Dear Reader, I have written this blog “every day” (at least FOR every day) since November 1, 2014. That was right after, well a month and a half after, my honeymoon. I did the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time list (the 2012 list that…
Salutations™!! Today, I learned some very sad news. Finnigan’s Wake will be closing its doors permanently on October 30. Finnigan’s Wake is THE reason the Arts District in Downtown Winston-Salem exploded in to ’00s. Yes, there were other now-staples such as Sweet Potatoes and 6th & Vine, but none had the impact that Fins did….

Salutations™!! Fridays are networking days for me as I am part of The Best Damn Referral Group, or TBD as we call it. But, that’s not the network I’m talking about this week. I am always talking about all the TLD Network shows, but not about the network itself. Let’s run them down: The Less…
Salutations™!! My Kousins and I took the time today to listen and review Bruce Kulick’s album Audiodog. Bruce Kulick is, of course, our favorite KISS guitarist. This album was his debut solo effort after being unceremoniously excused from KISS. Okay, maybe it was ceremoniously done, we just think that once the “reunion” was over, they…
Salutations™!! This week on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast, the Kousins talk about the 1987 film, Trick or Treat starring Marc Price (who was Skippy in Family Ties), Doug Savant (from Melrose Place), Ozzy Osbourne as a priest (if you can believe that) and Gene Simmons in a really believable role of…
Salutations™!! I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy catching up after my vacation that I’ve not had a lot other than the things that I actually have been working on to talk about. In this case, it’s another visit to Beeswax Vinyl Daily. Listen here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Subdivisions in the high school…
Salutations™!! Tonight, on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast, we had a first. One of the Kousins wasn’t on the show. Kousin Marvin’s dog had had surgery to remove a tumor and had burst two stitches and the poor pooch needed to be taken to the pet emergency room. We didn’t have a…
Salutations™!! Tonight on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries podcast, we continued our love and admiration for Gene on his birthday by picking our top three favorite Gene roles, either film or television. For me, it was easy because I’ve only really seen three movies he had a role in, that I remember. But,…
Salutations™!! So, Thursdays are usually Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries podcast recording but I had another event I had to go to tonight. TBD (The Best Damn) Referral Group had a “family dinner” tonight at Mama Zoë Michael’s and The BCPF and I attended with about 20 other people. It was a good…
Salutations™!! On Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast tonight, the Kousins made their own fantasy list of what a KISS MY A$$ II (Again, Once More, etc.) would look like. Actually, two of the Kousins got one entry (both artist and song) the same. They must be related. They actually got two matches…
