Raise your hand if you feel sorry for any of the multibillionaires that were making hundreds of millions and now are suffering temporary setbacks. Yeah, me neither. The Show-me state seems to still have one foot stuck in the Wild West as they debate a bill that would place a $1000.00 per head bounty forContinue reading “Around the World”

Marijuana
I started smoking pot when I was 14 and a sophomore in high school. It seemed a natural thing to do since I was playing in a hot little rock and roll band and I did not like the smell or taste of tobacco smoke. I thought it was great that I could get aContinue reading “Marijuana”
How Lucky Can You Get?
The first time I remember hearing the expression was when I was a horny teenager and it was whatever you did or could do, to put you in a position to partake in some sort of sexual activity. Now, if you don’t believe in luck, as some people don’t, it tells me a couple thingsContinue reading “How Lucky Can You Get?”
Just Getting Started
In this, my seventieth decade on planet earth, I have decided to do something. Go figure. I will continue to learn the blues lead guitar and will play in several “blues jams” and open mics to see if I can put together one last band before I hang up my PRS. I will shave fiveContinue reading “Just Getting Started”
This story got me Banned from Facebook!
I think of myself as a pretty reasonable person, but yesterday I was notified that a recent story I posted on Facebook had resulted in several bad comments and just like that, Maddogg’s fb voice was silenced. My response to the “support” team was: “It’s a story. Fiction.” Evidently, my succinct response resulted in myContinue reading “This story got me Banned from Facebook!”
Never Too Late
Well, I did it again. Despite my assertions, I have gone and got myself involved with another musical situation. After our band Sedona broke up I said (for the 20th time) that I was through with bands. But duets are different. Fast, EFFICIENT practices. So, this young dude who has been helping me out withContinue reading “Never Too Late”
Loneliness
I like being alone, but I suppose feeling lonely is a curse for some. Others can be alone even when surrounded by other people. I am one of them. I think I equate people with being antithetical to a clean and healthy planet. I would be alright with a smaller world population, or even better,Continue reading “Loneliness”
Tiffany
Her full name was Tiffany O’Malley McDuff Diaz and her name was bigger than she was. I found her at an old farm in northeast Ohio just a few miles away from the Indiana border. It was a chilly night and I pulled up the dirt road leading to an old farmhouse with the requisiteContinue reading “Tiffany”
Closing Time
Not only an ass-kicking song by Semisonic, but an always-approaching time for us all. The end game. Departure. So why do we waste so much of the precious time we have been allotted on useless horseshit like hatred and fear? And supposedly, we are the most intelligent life form on Earth. Maybe not. AI foundContinue reading “Closing Time”
Dice
I went to the Four Queens downtown one early morning and there were five people at the crap table: the stickman, and a couple dealers and two players. I was enthralled at the action at craps tables and it drew me like a mosquito to light, so I told one of the dealers that IContinue reading “Dice”
