Good Friday Night Music

Friday, April 3, 2026

I’ve been doing this blog now for about 22 years, not writing as frequently as I used to, but every now and then. Lately it seems there’s nothing to say, because the rot and corruption seems so obvious. Who ever thought we’d see a day when George W. Bush would look good by comparison to […]

Storm is coming

Saturday, January 24, 2026

A few thoughts while waiting for the coming storm, any damage from which and any failure on the part of FEMA to respond appropriately will obviously be the fault of Joe BIden, for according to members of a certain political party everything that goes wrong is Biden’s fault. I’ve been doing this blog now for […]

Another Good Friday (One Day Late)

Saturday, April 19, 2025

I’ve been writing this blog for 20 years, though gone are the days when I posted almost every day. But if memory serves (and at my age it doesn’t always) I have maintained a Good Friday tradition since that long ago time. Every year I post a video of Monty Python’s Always Look on the […]

Friday Night Music, a brief return

Friday, February 7, 2025

Haven’t done this for awhile. I played an old Randy Newman album recently and when this song came up my wife observed that it’s a little too close to official policy these days. When Randy wrote it I’m sure he thought he was targeting a small segment of the population, but nowadays it bids fair […]

The return of Friday Night Music

Friday, July 26, 2024

My wife suggested this as an appropriate musical share, given the events of the last week or so.

It’s that time again

Friday, March 29, 2024

Almost forgot to keep up the tradition. This year I am going to dedicate this video to a certain very stable genius whose followers keep comparing him to Brian be claiming he’s being crucified. Maybe he should follow Eric Idle’s advice instead of constantly confessing to his crimes on his failing twitter rip-off. As to […]

Friday Night Music makes a reappearance

Friday, August 11, 2023

Along with some musings on our uncertain future. I chanced upon this video a few months ago. It features Rhiannon Giddens and Paul Simon singing Simon’s American Tune. I put it on my to-do app to post the following Friday, and I’ve been putting it forward a week ever since, for reasons too diverse to […]

Friday Night Music, Giddens and Woody

Friday, February 10, 2023

My wife and I don’t disagree on much, but for reasons I can’t fathom she isn’t a folk music fan, so I listen to Folk Alley when she’s not around. So a few days ago, my wife being elsewhere, I was listening to a song and thought I recognized the voice of the truly great […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, April 16, 2021

Just had to pass this along, something I saw on Crooks & Liars. Mick Jagger and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters celebrating the upcoming (we hope) end of the pandemic. Not bad for a couple of geezers.
