Flashback Friday! In the Beginning edition
I’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple weeks both immersed in music, but also catching up with old friends and reminiscing about the “good ol’ days”. All that put me in a mood to do a flashback featuring songs we used to cover in my first REAL band. And by real, I…
Happy Birthday Clint Eastwood!
Born this day, May 31, 1930! American treasure. Legend. I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember, and I’m grateful he’s still with us! Happy Birthday good Sir, and good health to you!
Concert Review: Duran Duran at SAP Center, San Jose, CA
It has been quite the weekend for music! After a packed day yesterday at the Bottlerock Festival, the Mrs. and I had a night out Sunday with Duran Duran in our sort-of Hometown, San Jose. The concert was at the SAP Center, home of the San Jose Sharks hockey team. We’ve been to a number…
Concert Review: Bottlerock Festival, Napa CA
If you’ve been reading my stuff for a while, you may have noticed the vast majority of concert reviews come from nightclubs and theaters, not arenas and coliseum events. I’ll make exceptions occasionally, but big events are really not my thing. However, today was one of those exceptions and we traveled north to Napa for…
Could be nothing…could be ugly.
Now I TRY to not get to wound up over “conspiracies”, but with social media lighting up over this, it kinda got me thinking they might be on to something… Feel free to jump to your own conclusions. All I know is that things are not going well for our “leadership” at the moment, and…
Concert Review: Hoodoo Gurus at the Great American Music Hall, SF
Oh man, I have waited sooo long to see these guys!! I was just a kid when they first hit the American airwaves – Sophomore year of high school if I recall – and never got the chance to see them live before they started getting overlooked and leftout in the world of music. The…
Flashback Friday! Power Pop edition
As I’ve mentioned a few times lately, I’ve been in a bit of a funk and having a heck of a time digging my way out of it. So today, I turned off the news, steered clear of the doom and gloom websites and jumped into some good ol’ music. Now, I love all kinds…
Monday Memes
I really should stop watching the “news” and following current events… These things never put me in a good mood or relieve stress. The more I learn, the more I understand the phrase “Ignorance is Bliss”.
I Can’t Help But Wonder…
There are so many things seemingly going wrong at this point in history, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with it all. We are bombarded daily with the latest scandal, the latest crime, the latest business failure, the latest forecast of bleakness in any number of areas…and yet NOTHING ever seems to change for the…
In Memorium: James M. Dakin
It has taken me a long time to write this, but as we’ve reached the anniversary of the passing of Jim, I feel the time has come. James Dakin, better known as “Lord Bison” to his loyal Minions, was a one-of-a-kind author and blogger, and turned out to be one of the best people I’ve…
