Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today instead of playing a video, I’m just going to post a picture. A picture of me doing “my thing” last night on stage, playing the songs of The Rolling Stones. This is from my performance of “Paint It Black.” So, I’m just gonna leave this right here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out!…

Salutations™!! Today is the 50th anniversary of The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers album. Plenty of good songs on this album, for sure. #64 on the RS list that matters, #102 on the one that doesn’t. Grace Potter does great work on this… Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Take me down, little Susie, take…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a good day. It was oddly long in the morning/early afternoon. The BCPF and I only got about three records listened to. Weird. But, we got to stop in and see Jonathan and our buddy M. Hoch and had a delicious breakfast at our new favorite breakfast/brunch place, Clementine’s Gourmet Toast and…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the third edition of RSD 2020 (the April version that got spread over three months). There will be an RSD Black Friday edition which I think is ridiculous and shows a money-grab. That doesn’t mean I won’t participate. I just think this year, dragging us through what will be four months straight…
Salutations™!! Today is a big day in musical releases. Glorified Magnified from Manfred Mann’s Earth Band turns 48. All the World’s a Stage from Rush is 44. The Stranger from Billy Joel is 43. Celebrate! from Kool & the Gang and Hotter Than July by Stevie Wonder are 40. Bend Sinister from The Fall, Somewhere…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a good day. The weather was perfect, the day was perfect. The BCPF and I got up and enjoyed a “Staycation” day, going to Underdog Records, eating lunch at The Porch, listening to records all afternoon. It was fantastic. We got some good stuff. Here’s the haul: Elliott Smith – Elliott Smith — A…
Salutations™!! Today is the 55th anniversary of the Rolling Stones’ Out of Our Heads album. It’s a classic Stones album with great stuff on it and I’m not even a Stones fan. The magazine (not the band), Rolling Stone listed it at #116 on both the 2003 and 2012 versions of their list. The obvious song would…

Salutations™!! I’ll end my week of Live Aid memories with something kind of funny and cool. Bob Dylan performed “Blowin’ in the Wind” with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood and in the middle of the song, Dylan broke a string. Ronnie took his guitar off and handed it to Dylan. I mean, that’s a true…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I had a good day yesterday. We had breakfast out (which was scary and probably not something I’ll talk her into again for a while) and then went to Underdog Records to see Jonathan, get our fix, and came home listened to everything we bought and had some DiLisio’s for dinner….
Salutations™!! So, doing the “listens” list yesterday, I missed a lot of big releases. Would You Believe? from The Hollies was 54. Aretha Franklin’s live Amazing Grace was 48. James Taylor’s Walking Man was 46. The Runaways’ debut album The Runaways was 44. Rolling Stone’s live Still Life is 38. Sting’s debut solo album The Dream of the…
