Siskel & Ebert 1977 Review of “Star Wars”

Music Monday – “Good people all, this Christmas time/Consider well and bear in mind/What our good God for us has done/In sending His beloved Son/With Mary holy we should pray/To God with love this Christmas Day/In Bethlehem upon that morn/There was a blessed Messiah born

Secular Sunday – Grifting, I Mean, Grieving Widow?

Charlie Kirk’s wife husband was violently assassinated three months ago. I’m pretty hard on religion and a lot of people are saying her “grieving” isn’t appropriate.  But if I’m being completely honest, if she’s truly a hardcore Christian Evangelical, I’m guessing that there’s nothing deeper here (literally) than her thinking that her husband dying was […]

In 2-3 Years, AI Will Mean There Is Basically No Way To Tell What Is Real and What Is Not

This is a huge problem.  (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!”  They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?) In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s […]

“Merry Happy Whatever” – Doohickeys (featuring Wolves of Glendale)

Music Monday – “And now, maybe now I should change/Because I’m starting to lose all my faith/While those around are beaten down each day”

Secular Sunday – Blasphemous Nativity Scene?

Or is this new addition to our Christmas decorations more of a Naivety Scene???

Music Monday – “I don’t know what you think you’ve been told/If I ever was for sale, I never sold/And it’s short on flashing lights and rhinestone clothes/1800 miles from Music Row”

“1800 Miles” – Colter Wall

Music Monday – “Sing us a song/A song to keep us warm/There’s such a chill/Such a chill.”

Oasis is having a massively successful reunion tour and from the complete opposite end of the Britpop spectrum, Radiohead has also just begun their own reunion tour with a very different vibe – performing in the round, changing setlists every night – compared to Oasis.
