Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Greeting from back home after a long day yesterday. Today is the 39th anniversary of the last The Who album with John Entwistle on bass, It’s Hard. This was the big hit on the album and besides it being recorded in a big hall or theater, this version is really good. Enjoy! Until tomorrow,…
Salutations™!! Today is the 50th anniversary of (in my opinion) The Who’s best album, Who’s Next. Lots of great tunes on this album but the biggest are probably, “Behind Blue Eyes,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and this one. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Don’t cry, don’t raise your eye. It’s only teenage wasteland.”…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I took her brother and her mother to eat the night before at Diamondback Grill to celebrate my MIL’s 80th birthday. Her brother came along with us on Saturday to do some record shopping at Underdog Records, eat breakfast/lunch at Clementine’s and we gave a tour of parts of the town…
Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of several albums. Drama from Yes turns 40 today. Dark Continent from Wall of Voodoo turns 39. Slippery When Wet from Bon Jovi is 34. Kicking Against The Pricks from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds does, too. Out Of The Blue from Debbie Gibson and Permanent Vacation from Aerosmith are both 33. Patty…
Salutations™!! Today is the 49th anniversary of The Who’s best album (in my opinion), Who’s Next. So many great songs on here, it’s hard to choose. But I did… Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “I’d pay any price just to win you. Surrender my good life for bad. To find you I’m…
Salutations™!! Dear sweet baby [enter deity here], please let this be over soon. If for no other reason, I want to get back to Underdog Records, see Jonathan and buy vinyl goodness. Amen. You know my religion is “non-Prophet” so that was really just symbolic. However, the sentiment is exact and true. I want to…
Salutations™!! Like the last few weeks, The BCPF had the day off on Friday and we went to Underdog Records a day early. We got some good stuff and I’m going to share that with you, now! Michael Kiwanuka – Kiwanuka — I first heard pieces of this album when I was making the commercial for Underdog…
Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to attend a 60th birthday bash unlike either of us had seen before. The Michael family (the awesome owners of Yamas!, Cin-Cin, Waldo’s Wings and Mama Zöe Michael’s restaurants) celebrated the matriarch’s milestone and the shindig was amazing! That’s their business and I won’t go on about it,…
Salutations™!! A cold and slimy day yesterday was made better by being with my girl, seeing Jonathan at Underdog Records, buying records and listening to them all day. And, in the listening (and buying) there was a lot of The BCPF influenced listening since I let her pick out a few new or reissued albums…
Salutations™!! This will be brief but I just wanted to say that I found the absolute best SiriusXM channel, ever. It is called KISS Army Radio and it is 95% KISS and 5% their influences or bands that may have opened for them, like Rush, AC/DC, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc. I found…
