Behind Blue Eyes - a late night adventure in my neighborhood…

August 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Scenes from my neighborhood last night, two houses down.
Meet my neighbor who lives two houses down. We’ll call him Dave. Mid to late 50s, and a walking picture of hard living.
My next door neighbors often tell me how lucky I am, that I don’t live next door to Dave. And when I […]

Announcement: My new rock band.

July 29th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I was talking to my co-worker/vinyl loving comrade Michael today, and he was giving me continued ribbing on my usage of “quote/unquote” in my recent Billy Joel post.

Answer: Because I didn’t want to.
But it got me thinking.
“Quote/Unquote” […]

Sometimes I get a little bit crazy……

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

….but then lately, there are moments in public transportation that remind me that I’m really quite normal by comparison.
Today’s example: It makes perfectly good sense to get on the train wearing an extremely heavy winter coat with your hood on, and snow pants.
Did I mention that today’s temp in Cleveland was about 90 degrees?

Video: Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Best of Leon

July 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’m still recovering a bit from my 80s rock and roll weekend in Dayton, OH and hoping to get my thoughts about the show online in the next couple of days.
I imagine that it is likely that there are some fellow Curb Your Enthusiasm fans reading this blog. I love every episode of Curb […]

Close Captioned Cocker (Joe, that is)

June 24th, 2008 · 2 Comments

One of the funniest moments ever in my life, came courtesy of the infamous “performance” featuring Joe Cocker and John Belushi on Saturday Night Live.
Cocker continues to be an (at times) unintentional source of humor, as evidenced by this video from Youtube, which makes brilliant use of performance footage from Woodstock:
