Starting a Band at Age 68 Our newest member of our as yet-unnamed band is a guy named Paul who showed up and meshed with our lead guitarist, and we were basically on the same page. We’ll get better. Much better. I can tell from talking with these two very cool people that all weContinue reading “Day 2”

Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place
I had an absolute blast performing for the residents of Liberty Place Memory Care in West Chester. The first thing you notice about the place is its location, at the end of a drive through a very upper-income housing area. Usually, the paces I have played are not in this type of neighborhood. The propertyContinue reading “Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place”
If The Shoe Fits
With all the anti-American sentiment emanating from our own politicians, it’s hard to believe that there are people who actually want to live here in this country. Go down to El Paso and see what the sentiment is there. So when the hell did the machete become the preferred weapon of choice for rednecks? Can’tContinue reading “If The Shoe Fits”
Who is to Blame?
Give people the slightest semblance of a reason and they will gleefully seek out and even more gleefully assign blame whenever they can. Where does the “blame chain” end? Good luck trying to tag any politician; unless you lie for a living, too, you are already behind the curve. The economy? Oh, this president isContinue reading “Who is to Blame?”
Just When You Think You’ve Heard it All
Our boy Trump is starting to hear footsteps as Ron DeSantis ramps up his campaign. Evidently The Florida governor’s book, Mein Kampf II, is selling well and now, unfazed by his miscalculations in the 20202 election, Trump is accusing DeSantis of “inflating his numbers.” I actually had to stop typing and laugh at that one.Continue reading “Just When You Think You’ve Heard it All”
Did You Not Watch Soylent Green?
I know exactly how Charlton Heston felt when he looked up at the crumbling remains of the Statue of Liberty at the end of Planet of the Apes. We’re doing it to ourselves. America’s greed will be her undoing. It’s one thing to rape the land of some overgrown third-world country, but in our ownContinue reading “Did You Not Watch Soylent Green?”
Believable
Not too hard to believe, actually. The Louisville Police Department is racist. I’m not saying it, THEY are. What is hard to believe is that it took this long to admit to. I wonder what gave it away? I have seen people of color criminalized by the people sworn to protect the city of Louisville.Continue reading “Believable”
Don’t Get Me Started
Anyone who abandons their pets has forfeited their eternal soul to a fiery hell. And if I had any say in it, that would just be for starters. I understand that life can make it painfully necessary for some to have to surrender their furry friends, but surrender does not mean you open your carContinue reading “Don’t Get Me Started”
Here We Go Again
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that whoever is responsible for a string of poisonings of Iranian girls in the country will face death if caught. (I would say convicted, but I don’t think their system of justice is encumbered by slow appeals, tricky letters of the law, or pesky convictions). Death. Steal something.Continue reading “Here We Go Again”
God Was Listening
When he heard that the western United States, especially California, was drying up. Like a dog with six teats for eight puppies, there was something about too much consumption and a dwindling supply. The Colorado River, so vital to the water supply for California is shrinking. Not just there. Lake Meade, a place I drankContinue reading “God Was Listening”
