As I mentioned earlier today, I had a tooth pulled yesterday, so today is a ”sit around and relax to feel better” day. And what better way to feel better than with some classic comedy. This one streches w-a-y back to 1934, long before I was born. But a classic is a classic. W.C.Fields made a [...]
I had a tooth pulled yesterday. This has nothing to do with the movie “Go”. Well, a little maybe. After the oral surgery yesterday I thought I might be a little under the weather for a while, so I took today off. Oh, I’m doing ok, thanks. A friend had given us a copy of the [...]
Today’s Terrific Tune features a well-known band. A really well-known band. It’s the Irish band U2. Heard of ‘em? I thought so. If not, (what planet are you from?), learn more here. Anyway, I’m not using one of the big hits. Maybe this one was a small hit? I’ve found over the years that many [...]
My wife Petra B and I did some volunteer work Wednesday evening. We helped to assemble “necessities bags”. We were slated to work three hours but so many people showed up to help that it only took about half that time, including having a snack. It was great to see women and men too, smiling [...]
Last night I went to a concert and saw “anti-folk”, “folk-punk”, “folk-funk” (whatever!) singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco and her band. The show was good, which will come as no surprise if you have ever seen her live. We’ve seen her live four or five times and it has always been good. She obviously loves performing and [...]
The book is “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life And Times Of Warren Zevon”. Written by his wife Crystal with quotes and insight from a wide variety of friends, family, colleagues, and more. For those who already know that Warren was a master songwriter and artist, this book provides insight into his tormented [...]
Today’s Terrific Tune is a rock ballad by a group that doesn’t do many ballads. It’s Green Day and the video for their current big hit “21 Guns”. The song is from their latest CD “21st Century Breakdown”. This album is great! They’ve grown so much with the last couple albums. There’s more variety and [...]
Last night Petra had a meeting to go to, so I contacted a few friends. Karl (friends) and I went to see a movie. Well, first we had some mexican food. Then we went to see Michael Moore‘s new film “Capitalism: A Love Story” (official site). Long-time stevenology readers will know that I love his films. [...]
George Harrison is dead and gone, may he rest in peace. When he was a Beatle, he was always in the considerable shadow of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. And he sometimes wanted more of his own songs on their albums. But once they broke up, he put out plenty of albums with plenty of [...]
It’s been two years and three months since we were able to take the granddaughters on an outing, just the four of us. But it happened today so I wanted to post about it, real quicklike, before I hit the bed for a few hours sleep before work tomorrow. We were finally able to take them, [...]
Read it and weep. Or maybe laugh. Or whatever. Check out this list of our recently acquired music. Remember, any with an asterisk we’ll lovingly blame on Petra B! Hey, some of those might be good too! See what you think: Green Day - Know Your Enemy 7″ vinyl Johnson, Jack - If I Had Eyes 7″ vinyl * Day, [...]
