People sure hate socialism… But don’t take there Social Security, Medicare, roads, library services, fire and police protection, water and sewer services… …uhhh wait that’s socialism…

I read somewhere that the Scandinavian countries of Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark plus the island nation of Iceland are 60-80% non-religious, have low crime rates, and have some of the highest quality of life scores in the world… Hmmm I wonder if there is a correlation between high education, low religious practice, and the European brand of social democracy?

Politics is a spectrum of practice…

So… It seems that many republican American congressman support genocide… …and you wonder why the Islamic world hates you… …. that’s not how you earn a peace prize….

I get tired of hearing, “What about me???” Trust me, none of us are that special…

I love dogs… They love with their whole heart… We are their world… They make our lives better… even if they slobber, snore, and shed all over the house and on our clothes… …and pass gas… noxious they can be… …but that love…

I don’t trust someone very quickly if they don’t have a dog… maybe a cat… possibly a hamster… not sure about reptiles though…

Why did Bono and the boys name their band U2. Why not You Too?

Did Toto and Kansas ever tour together… or is that dust in the wind?

I think it would be awesome to have the band Styx appear in Hadestown the musical, during Orpheus’ descent to hell. Maybe Orpheus could sing Fooling Yourself…

It is a shame that the band Train didn’t form until the 90’s. How cool would it have been to have Train open for The Cars???

I feel Billy Ocean would have been bigger if he capitalized on the Surf Rock craze between 1958-1964… Of course Ocean would have been 8-14 years of age… There was a great marketing ploy before its time…

ZZ Top will always have the last song… alphabetically by artist… It will probably be the song Tush. …the back side… aha ha ha… That is an awful joke…

David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar? I don’t think anything more is needed.

Adele, Crow, Estefan, Etheridge, Franklin, Morissette, Ross, Sade…. Pick the four you want to hear live the most…

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy met the Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Cherry Poppin Daddies Bar, where they opened for the Brian Setzer Orchestra… What a Mighty Mighty Bosstone that must have been… No Doubt!!!

Who is the Jeopardy champion of 47’s cabinet?

Turkish Bath by Don Ellis is the hardest rocking 7/4 blues tune from the 1960’s and I bet all 24 semitones to the octave on it too!!!

Popcorn, Milk Duds, or Junior Mints? What’s your least favorite movie snack???

I miss Jimmy Buffett. He could give us Fruitcakes II with all the silliness going on in the United States. “There’s a fine line between Saturday night and Sunday morning!”

I will show myself out now… …so it goes…
