The Mighty Ninety Three
At midnight tonight the clock will stand still. And the song will begin to play once more. A new year and a new era will begin. At midnight, as November 14, 1975, became November 15, Joni Mitchell’s “You Turn Me On I’m A Radio” became the first song broadcast on radio station CKCU-FM. It has […]
Axing Kimmel
The headlines had it wrong. Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t taken off the air for anything he said about Charlie Kirk and his killer. It was his comments about Donald Trump that got him in hot water. When the news story first broke that the late-night talk show host had been taken off the air, I was […]
Brilliant Marketing
You don’t suppose anyone really bought one, do you?
Music For Our Times
My friend Paul posted a video that puts some of the more recent news events in perspective. Not that those who need to hear it will listen.
Super Bowl
The big game is about to kick off – do you care? I must confess I don’t. Oh, I will watch the beginning at least. And I may cheer for Philadelphia since they have one player on their team, but whether they or Kansas City wins makes no difference to me. My guess is I’ll […]
It Just Clicked…
It has been a busy day and I only now realized it is February 3 – the “day the music died.” Every time I hear this song I am reminded of my youth – and feel a certain lament for lost times. If you are of my generation, not only do you know the words, […]

A Movie Flashback
Our Friday Flashback today is from August 16, 2017, when I reviewed The Case For Christ. I think I watched it on my computer, which isn’t as good as seeing it on the big screen. I did see the movie a few months later in a church though – dubbed in German. Since I had […]
How To Win Fans
Times have changed. No longer can visiting musicians woo Canadians by praising the Prime Minister. That is so 2015. Maybe the Rolling Stones are just out of touch with Canadian society. No shame in that, given that they don’t live here. And I guess the fans don’t care who the band likes. But I’ll bet […]
Flashback Cars
We continue our Friday Flashback series with a post from July 5, 2018. I’m not really a car guy, but I had fun at this one. This post was the fifth in a series on the event. Time to wrap up our car series from this year’s edition of the Mullheim city festival. You can […]
