Never Can Say Goodbye

So, it appears that the Jackson 5 — complete with Michael — will be coming to a city near you in 2008 on their “Reunion Tour”. Evidently, Michael’s vast empire has eroded to the point where he’s going to have to get back out on the road. Can’t say that I’m sorry [...]

We Ain’t in Dogpatch No Mo’

Although the drumbeat is the same, Lefsetz shines a spotlight today on NY Magazine’s shining a spotlight on Wired Magazine’s recent spotlight on Universal Music’s CEO, Doug Morris. The piece in question is very interesting. Evidently, it’s all of the people who are downloading music, using iPods and demanding better, easily-accessible music that [...]

Stormy Monday

Yeah, it’s a Stormy Monday here…in more ways than one. We need the rain, so I’m not too disappointed in the storms that we’re having. Yet, facing a rainy Monday after a long holiday weekend is excruciating pain. A pain that can only be captured by the Blues.

Saturday Smörgåsbord

Well, trying to get my mind off of the devastating loss and the thought of having to work on Monday. Still thankful, however.

Battle for the Boot

ETA:  ARKANSAS 50, LSU 48
Well, that’s the way it goes. The Boot goes to Arkansas and LSU is relegated to an “also ran” again. Too bad. However, it was theirs to lose and they couldn’t convert….in triple overtime….at home. If you can’t secure an inferior opponent at home, you don’t deserve [...]

Thankful

 
 

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!” —Psalm 100:4
The first time I heard this song, over a year ago, I completely identified with it. Jonny Lang shows his versatility and sincerity in this wonderful tune.
Thankful – [...]

Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye…

John Mayer’s latest blog is titled “Pop Rocks” and extols how there is some really good Pop music out there. Now, I know not all Pop music is bad, but the ones he’s listed has got me questioning John’s “tool” factor. I understand John’s need to conform to the industry early on in [...]

Where I’m From

There’s not many songs, particularly of the pop or country variety, that I am not at least acquainted with. However, when I first heard Taylor Hicks singing some song about Alabama, my ears perked up from curiosity. It was from one of those “sessions” before AI. After a bit of research, I [...]

My Presidential Candidate

I think that I have found my guy for ‘08. I mean…a Southerner, moderate Conservative and CHUCK NORRIS APPROVED!

I don’t care who ya are, that…right there, is funny.
Since this is a music blog, here’s a little something for a Monday…
Can’t Always Get What [...]

Geaux to Hell, Ole Miss!

ETA: Relatively painless win, save getting banged up a bit. LSU rolls….10-1 with Arkansas on Friday.
LSU 41, Ole Miss 24
************************************************************************
Sorry. For those of you who are not aware, this has been a LSU war cry for decades.
On Saturday, LSU faces yet another arch-rival in the University of Mississippi “Ole Miss” Rebels [...]
