Never. I would love to say I am such a noble individual and that I do not believe in quitting under any circumstances. I would dearly love to say it, but it is a falsehood. I have quit at certain times in my life, or more accurately, I just didn’t care enough to fight orContinue reading “Knowing When to Quit”

Another Letter to Robin Meade
As many of you know who follow my crazy blog, I always invite Robin Meade, the perky little Newsbabe from HLN’s Morning News program whenever I play a gig. Not surprisingly, she missed my show at the Sycamore Springs Nursing home last week despite my invitation. Here goes: Hi Robin: It is me, Maddogg. IContinue reading “Another Letter to Robin Meade”
Cheers
I take shots at pretty much everything here, on my little, tiny piece of the internet. I don’t bullshit, despite possessing one of the world’s greatest stockpiles of it. I don’t give a shit about politics; I usually let the Domestic Despot send in our ballots, that is how interested I am. Besides, let’s faceContinue reading “Cheers”
Procrastinating
I am the personification of procrastination….now. Not before I retired. I have severed lucrative business deals because of a tardy meeting. I am such a stickler for it, probably anal about it. But NOW, hell, I might get around to whatever whenever. I like it this way. I get lost all the time. With theContinue reading “Procrastinating”
Blind Melon Maddogg
I went to the little town of Centerville, Ohio for their blues jam. It is called the Hidden Gem and it is literally behind a strip mall, hence its name. It has a good vibe, although there is no food service. They do pour alcohol but the music was a step beyond kick-ass. The hostsContinue reading “Blind Melon Maddogg”
Under Attack
OK. Jo-jo is getting eaten alive by viruses. Now, I might just be an old country boy from East L.A., but somebody better fix him. Fast. If Kamala Harris takes the reins of this country, good luck to us all. You think it sucks now….. I am not impressed with her political savvy nor herContinue reading “Under Attack”
It Has Only Been 30 Years
Since I wrote my last song. Here it is (let me know what you think): Gone Verse 1 She dropped off the kids at her mother’s Took out half the cash from the bank She cleaned the house from top to bottom Washed the truck and even filled the tank Chorus Then she was goneContinue reading “It Has Only Been 30 Years”
Wow!
It’s not every day, or often enough, for that matter, that you see or hear something and it makes you say “wow!” out loud. In researching songs to add to my playlist, I came upon a video on YouTube posted in 2103. It featured Stevie Ray Vaughn (the King of West Texas blues) and JeffContinue reading “Wow!”
Goodbye and Farewell
The closer I get to my own denouement, the more people that pass into the Next Sphere that have affected my life. I was a Leave it to Beaver guy. Wally (Tony Dow) was the prototypical big brother from the fifties. I suppose he reminded me of my own big brother. Eddie Haskell was money.Continue reading “Goodbye and Farewell”
A Great Show
I got to see Ashley McBryde last night. Oh, and some guy named Hank Jr. jk. This was my fifth Hank Williams Jr. show dating back to the seventies. That’s right. Fifty years ago. He’s still got it. He rocked the house on a couple tunes and had all of us singing along with hisContinue reading “A Great Show”
