Trumped!
Okay, I was wrong. Or maybe I was right and he changed his mind. Sometime in the past six months Donald Trump has become a serious political candidate. It is becoming increasingly likely he will win the Republican presidential nomination, making him a 50-50 choice to become the next president of the United States. How […]
Leaving Hotel California
I was thinking about posting some more thoughts about David Bowie when the news came Monday that Glenn Frey had died. It seems like 2016 is going to be a bad year for fans of aging rock stars. Frey, of course, was the guitarist for The Eagles, one of the group’s two founders (the other […]
The Martian
When the Oscar nominees were announced last week I noted that I had not seen any of the films in the Best Picture category (or most other nominated films for that matter). If I was ambitious, or had more time, I would make it my mission to see all the nominees before the awards are […]
Monday’s Words Of Wisdom
I have no idea where I got this one. I really need to pay more attention when I see these things online. That way at least I can give credit where credit is due. If I was more computer literate I’d fix the grammatical error, but that sort of skill is beyond me.
A Christmas Bonus!
This showed up in my Facebook feed today. I first met Roy almost 40 years ago – so nice to see he’s still putting out music. Roy Salmond – Producer Sponsored · A little over 10 years ago, I created a solo piano album of mellow Christmas favourites. They were sold as a ‘value […]
The Force Awakens
This was supposed to run on Monday, but for some reason the software never posted it. I hope it works this time. If you haven’t seen the new Star Wars epic yet don’t worry, I’m not going to give away ay plot details today. Except for the part where Spock dies. Oh, wait, wrong science […]
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
If you feel a disturbance in the Force today it’s just the sound of cash registers. The latest installment in the Star Wars saga has opened, with the expectation that it will set all sorts of box office records. I’m doing my part – I have tickets to see it Saturday. There are ten of […]
Climate Change For Dummies
Back in the 1980s a very effective television commercial for cough syrup featured an actor who delivered the line “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on television.” This apparently made him an authority. It must have worked – they switched pitchmen when the first one got in trouble for tax evasion. We seem […]
Death Comes Calling
I have a Velvet Revolver t-shirt somewhere that I have never worn. With Scott Weiland’s death a couple of days ago I wonder if it is now a collector’s item? Probably not, though I imagine the t-shirt will be reprinted to capitalize on the demise of the singer for both Velvet Revolver and Stone Temple […]
