Friday Night Music-A reprise

Friday, November 2, 2012

When this song first came out I wrote that it was an “anthem ready made for the Obama campaign, if they have the smarts to use it, and if Bruce lets them.” Well they did, and apparently he did. Nate says Obama’s climbed past 80% and I want to believe part of the reason is […]

Friday Night Music-Just for Fun

Friday, October 26, 2012

These days, my anxiety level is getting a bit high. Most of the time I just feel like curling up into a fetal position until 10:00 PM on November 6th, when, for better or worse, it will all be over. So, as far as music is concerned, I’m retreating into the past, into the glorious […]

Okay, here’s how I got to this one. I wanted to find a song that would somehow tie into Obama’s “Romnesia” riff (see previous post); something about forgetting (a lost cause, by the way). So, I went to the google, and put in “songs about forgetting” and this is one of the songs that came […]

Okay, I got next to nothing. This is by way of approbation for Joe Biden, who I gather is being roundly criticized by the Republicans, with the media following their lead, for laughing at the truly risible Paul Ryan. So Joe, don’t let the bastards grind you down. Listen to Randy. (There’s a bonus track […]

I was with a friend last week that I went to grammar school with. That’s right, both of us permanently damaged by Our Lady of Sorrows school. How could you not be, with a name like that? Anyway, I don’t remember how the subject came up, but he mentioned the Wildweeds, a Connecticut group that […]

This is one of those stream of consciousness sort of things, starting with my ride home from work. My iPod is attached to my car stereo, and lately I’ve been playing things at random by spinning the selector wheel on the stereo and seeing what it lands on. It’s safer that way; less need to […]

Friday Night Music-Common People

Friday, September 21, 2012

I'm wandering a bit here from my recent theme, which has been music Republicans have been forbidden to use. I'm stealing his from my son, who posted it on Facebook. It's not completely off theme, as I'm fairly sure The Pulp would not take kindly to Romney using their music, though I'm also pretty sure […]

Yet another song the Republicans have been told not to use, and yet another mystery as to why the party of conformity would want to use it. You have to assume that they don’t listen to lyrics. If the song title seems to fit, that’s all they need to know. I’m posting two versions of […]

As much as I might be tempted to play “Don’t Stop Thinkin’ about Tomorrow” in honor of the Big Dog, who gave a heck of a speech, though I will refrain from remarking on the Simpson Bowles reference, I am going to stick to my announced plan to feature songs that Republicans have been told […]

For as long as I can sustain it, I’m going to feature pieces by bands that have demanded that Republicans stop playing their songs. This first one may not qualify, as Paul Ryan has never, so far as I know, ever played a Rage Against the Machine song at one of his functions, but he […]
