Music Monday – “And night after night we stay out drinking under the streetlights/It’s forty below oh but I don’t mind cause you’re right there to hold me tight/Cause I’m drinking in Edmonton with you/I’m drinking in Edmonton with you”

Music Monday – “We’re gonna spite our noses/Right off of our faces/There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts/Dancin’ in our eyes.”

Any woman who would let me play this song as a “Last Dance” song at the end of the night during our wedding reception (to counter-point our first dance song) is okay by me. Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea!  Love you very much! “In Spite Of Ourselves” – John Prine

Friday Fun Link – Phantom of the Opera Lead Singer Surprises Street Busker

Sometimes I get excited and retweet stuff then think, why didn’t I save that for my blog?!? This is one such time. I have already retweeted this clip but it’s so joyful, I’m going to put it in a blog post too…

Music Monday – “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi/Ain’t singin’ for Coke/I don’t sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke/This note’s for you”

There’s some irony that Warner Brothers Music Group won’t allow me to embed this anti-corporate sponsorship song on my blog. But worth a click-thru to watch a classic Neil Young song… “This Note’s For You” – Neil Young

Music Monday – “Yeah, to the farmers and the first responders/To the truck drivers shiftin’ gears/Every nurse that needs a break, let me buy you a drink/There ain’t no “I” in beer”

Great pandemic song/video and somewhat ironic that truckers get a shout-out given the KluTruxKlan “Freedom” convoy happening right now.   But the reality is unvaxxed truckers are a very small minority and most truckers and the national trucking association support vaccinations.   “No ‘I” in Beer” – Brad Paisley

Music Monday – “You know that old trees just grow stronger/And old rivers grow wilder every day/Old people just grow lonesome/Waiting for someone to say, “Hello in there, hello”

“Hello In There” – Ian Noe (John Prine Cover)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – MuchMusic in the 1980’s/1990’s

  Saw an article that influential music and pop culture Canadian station, MuchMusic (later rebranded as “Much”) is moving on to TikTok and YouTube. I’m not sure young people today can appreciate how influential MuchMusic the station was with its VJ’s, dance parties at schools, Speaker’s Corner, special features (Snow Job!), the compilation albums (especially […]

Music Monday – “And so the days float through my eyes/But still the days seem the same/And these children that you spit on/As they try to change their worlds/Are immune to your consultations/They’re quite aware of what they’re goin’ through”

“Changes” – David Bowie

I’m not much of a New Year’s Resolution guy (“I’m going to lose weight this year!”  Pandemic continues.  “Shit!”) but always good to take account of the things you’re grateful for at this time of year.  Who knows – maybe this could become another annual post tradition? Anyhow… 1.  My Family So fortunate to have […]
