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

This’ll show Covid! (Fun challenge – pretend you know nothing about this video and watch with the sound off then see if this guy seems at all healthy or well-balanced.)
Friday Fun Link – 15 Times Connor McDavid Did The Impossible
Okay, now that the Stanley Cup’s been awarded and we don’t know if/when NHL hockey will be back, can I, as a Flames fan, admit that I *really* enjoy watching Connor McDavid? I mean, his defense sucks and I hope the Oilers continue to miss the playoffs every year for the next decade. But man, […]
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
The Alt-Right Playbook: You Go High, We Go Low

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.

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”

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 […]
Friday Fun Link – Top Five Experiments In Space
I recently read Scott Kelly’s “Endurance” which is a combination of a traditional autobiography along with with a travelogue about his record-breaking year-long experience in space.
