Now there’s pirates and then there are dumbass pirates. It was a couple small groups of the latter that decided to attack and rob a U.S. warship off the coast of Somalia. Now they are fish food. How about we take the gloves off and replace all those silly little water hoses with lasers? NoContinue reading “Not in a Million Years”

And Then Some
Evidently, you can mess with new head coach Bill Belichick’s North Carolina Tar Heel football team, but don’t think, for one second, that you can take on a North Carolina mother of eight. Mama don’t play… The little band of Italian thieves in Venice are lucky; if they would have pulled their little stunt inContinue reading “And Then Some”
In a Pig’s Eye
Where did that expression come from? I’ll bet it was someone who lived in a rural setting. Pure genius is what that is. In the latest “It will never happen to us” situation: It happened. ICE agent or not, if you, or any member of your family is in this country illegally, you will beContinue reading “In a Pig’s Eye”
Like I Never Left
Back to viewing the world through my highly-distorted lens macabre. Man, what a world we live in. And nobody makes it out alive… Watching the great tennis on display at the U.S. Open is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. In the heat of battle, after losing to fleshy American Taylor Townsend,Continue reading “Like I Never Left”
Five Spot
Today marks the fifth day of posting music and tomorrow I will pause my musical journey and go back to giving my slant on this slanted world we live in. But first, check out this song I wrote in a short-lived blues/rock band I played in only a few short years ago. It has anContinue reading “Five Spot”
I Plead the Fourth
I’m back in sports heaven now that college football games and English Premier League football matches have resumed, so I continue my posting of songs I have recorded and/or written. I will resume writing in the more conventional way after Monday night’s TCU vs North Carolina game. Four straight days of music, this time allContinue reading “I Plead the Fourth”
Three in a Row
Since we are approaching the first full week of college football, I will post my music through the weekend. I wrote this song as an autobiographical dig at my crazy-ass self; a period of my existence that lasted way longer than it should have and I’m sure my behavior would have been different if IContinue reading “Three in a Row”
More Music
I had a surprisingly good response (s) from my first music post yesterday, so, keeping with that whole strike-while-the-iron’s-hot thing, I am following it up with three more songs in today’s post.. I was working as a French Executive Chef in the Midwest in the early ‘90’s and I had the occasion to run intoContinue reading “More Music”
My Songs
I thought for this, my 1174th published post, I would try something a little different. Let me know if you think it sucks. I will be posting songs from my seventy-one years spent on this planet and writing about them. We’ll start with one of the major influences on my singing (thanks Don Henley) andContinue reading “My Songs”
The Devil You Say!
North Korea is “locking up” their nuclear arsenal since dialogue between Kim Jong-un and President Trump has stopped. What the hell does that even mean? The new Ayatollah of rock-n-rolla, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran seems to be the only world leader who doesn’t have his head up his ass. He correctly identified theContinue reading “The Devil You Say!”
