Take your pick. Here’s #1 on the list which was pretty controversial (by design) at the time back in 1989 but seems relatively tame now…

Kids React To The Beatles
I am pleasantly surprised at the majority of the reactions these kids have to clips of the Beatles at various points in their history…
Music Monday – “You can get yourself clean/You can have a good meal/You can do whatever you feel…”
Guess where we spent Family Day? 😉 (This is becoming an annual tradition – I think we also went last year since “the Y” does a great thing on Family Day by opening their doors and having free swimming (which we skipped this year) and a variety of other free activities – play structure, bouncy castle, […]
Music Monday – “Buddy’s real talent was beating people up/His heart wasn’t in it but the crowd ate it up”
Following up on yesterday’s post, John Scott capped an amazing run that, if it was a movie script, would be rejected as too unbelievable – starting as a joke write-in candidate for the NHL all-star game, getting traded and demoted, his all-star berth in doubt, fighting back against the powers that be, both directly and with […]
Music Monday – “Right wingin’, Bitter clingin’, Guns and God Are Our Religion”
As a general rule, I don’t think you should mock your political opponents. But since these two yahoos are from the US, they’re technically not my opponents and I’m free to highlight their stupidity freely. 😉 In all seriousness, Sarah Palin’s recent endorsement of Donald Trump was mystifying. But is there method to her madness?  Is […]
Saturday Song – “Power to Devour All Who Are Sour”
I think it’s important to note that neither Pace nor Sasha have had a single music lesson in their lives and yet came up with this entire song (and title) completely by themselves tonight…
Music Monday – “Look up here/I’m in Heaven”
“Lazarus” – David Bowie David Bowie, one of the most influential, durable and creative musicians of the past half century, died today. Â He released his final album only a couple days ago on his 69th birthday then passed away after living with cancer for 18 months. One of the songs on his new album, “Lazarus” […]
Music Monday – “From Alto Cedro, I go towards Marcané/I get to Cueto, head for MayarÔ
Back from a week in Cuba and I have this song stuck in my head. (Funny tangent about how things come around – a good friend of mine was a big fan of the Buena Vista Social Club when they exploded in the mid-to-late 1990’s.  But at the time, I was too much into pretty standard […]
Music Monday – “He told his niece/’It’s Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style,’/She said, ‘Christmas is like solstice/And we miss you and it’s been awhile'”
Happy Solstice! What a perfect song for today’s Music Monday post as this song compares and contrasts traditional Christian holiday celebrations with those who are not… “Christians and the Pagans” – Dar Williams
Saturday Snap – Pace’s School Winter Concert
They’re not allowed to say “Christmas” but this year, his grade sang a recognizable Christmas song (“Let It Snow”) [Edit: oh, that’s funny. Â I looked back at my post from three years ago about Pace’s first school concert and what song did I suggest would be a good, non-offensive choice but still “Christmasy”? Â Someone from […]
