Jump Back. I need to start using that more often. I think we all do. Family movie time. Somehow we picked the classic 1984 film about a no dancing town. I’m still a “no dancing town” myself so I don’t get all the fuss. Actually now that I’m writing this I just figured it out. … Read More

Wilco released their debut album in 1995. On this day. They called it A.M. I barely had time to weep over the break up of Uncle Tupelo.

Do you have one of those places? You know the kind of place I’m talking about. A place you never plan on going to. A place where if you end up there you know you had a great night. And by a great night I mean a drunk night. A very drunk night. I think … Read More
Sometimes Grammy does good. Unlike say when they award Jethro Tull “Best Hard Rock/Metal” performance. Yes, because nothing says metal like a flute solo. It was 17 years ago that Tom Waits’ “Mule Variations” won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Not sure if this is folk but I’ll give The Grammys a pass … Read More
