Friday’s Question
Canada has announced it will be taking part in the 2027 Eurovision song contest. I’m not sure how I feel about that. We aren’t in Europe after all. Then again neither is Israel. I guess anyone can participate if they pay the fees. So why not Canaada? I’m not sure about a competition that mixes […]
Friday’s Question
I’ve watched a lot of World Cup soccer (football) this past month on television. Even with Canada eliminated from the tournament, I find myself catching most of the games. There’s something special about an athletic contest at this level. With each game I have the same question. And it has nothing to do with the […]
That Day Again
It may be because I studied Latin in high school and read some of Julius Caesar’s works. Or maybe it was reading Shakespeare’s plays. Whichever, when March 15 comes around each year I take special care not to get stabbed. It was March 15, the “ides of March” that saw Julius Caesar assassinated by rival […]
A Song For Our Times
When I first heard this, a couple of days after its release, my first thought was “what a brilliant song!” my second thought was: “there is no way radio will ever play this.” Amy Grant hasn’t released any new music in a decade. Probably most people have no idea who she is – her heyday […]
How Boring Can It Be?
Super Bowl LX is tonight. I’m having some friends over. The email invitation was titled “It’s the most boring night of the year.” From that you can tell I’m nota big fan of American football. I only follow the NFL enough that I don’t sound completely ignorant if the topic comes up in conversation. I […]
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 […]
