Music Monday – “2020, 24 hours to go/I Wanna Be Sedated”

I saw this clever play on words from the lyrics of a Ramones song on Twitter and had to steal it for today’s Music Monday post with 2020 being the craziest year in a century and twenty-fours until we’re watching election returns in the United States… “I Wanna Be Sedated” – The Ramones

Music Monday – “Well, the nobles said to the people, ‘You better close your public schools/Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too.'”

Jack White absolutely kicked ass on SNL this weekend as a last-minute, emergency fill-in guest. Ironically, since he was covering for a country singer who the show cancelled for blatantly disregarding Covid restrictions, White played a mash-up of a few different songs including an old blues tune written about the pandemic of 1918… If that […]

Music Monday – “I’m sure you’ve heard it all before/But you never really had a doubt/I don’t believe that anybody/Feels the way I do about you now”

Hard to believe Oasis’ “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” album is 25 years old being released in the fall of 1995. Oasis was basically a one-hit wonder in North America for most people but I was fortunate to be in England in fall 1995 on a University exchange which was during the height of the […]

Music Monday – “I got 500 dollars in cash in case they don’t take AMEX/She wanted to see me so now I’m headed to/The Annex Sorority house, she snuck me in, she tried to/Keep quiet, couldn’t hold it in”

Pretty cool that a U of R grad has hit the top of the BBC Asian music charts and gone viral on TikTok with this song… “Young Shahrukh” – Tesher

Music Monday – “It’s called me belligerent, it’s took me for ignorant/But it ain’t never once made me scared just to be/Could you imagine just constantly worryin’/Kickin’ and fightin’, beggin’ to breathe?”

Okay, getting to one of the top o’ mind topics mentioned in my list yesterday – a new surprise album from Tyler Childers was released the other day.  It features eight instrumental fiddle tunes then a single “regular” song with lyrics calling for more kindness and understanding among citizens including many who listen to Childers […]

Music Monday – “Four years old/Riding that new bike/No training wheels/Holding on real tight/Oh baby/Everyone falls”

Not sure what it means when you’re getting music recommendations from your mother-in-law but that’s how I first heard of this singer who also happens to be an RN that my mother-in-law worked with prior to her retirement. Also important to note that this video has some scenes shot at Nickle Lake Regional Park where […]

Music Monday – “All those who remember the war/They won’t forget what they’ve seen/Destruction of men in their prime/Whose average age was nineteen”

He’s broken *so* many taboos and boundaries in politics. But Trump’s taking a lot of pushback after reports of multiple negative comments against the military so maybe, just maybe, this will finally break through to some supporters that he’s not a good person and maybe even help guarantee a loss in November (or at least […]

Music Monday – “I ain’t got a dime/In these old worn out jeans/So I’ll stop eatin’ steak/And go back to beans.”
