Friday Night Music

Friday, November 18, 2011

Many years ago now my son and I went to see Me and My Girl at the Weston Theater in Vermont. It’s a silly British comedy, not quite as silly as the average Gilbert & Sullivan, but respectably silly. The plot, such as it is, concerns a lower class guy from Lambeth who, it turns […]

Friday Night Music-The Hollies

Friday, November 4, 2011

Just returned from a pre-election get together/fundraiser at Groton headquarters, and have since been scrambling trying to find something to put up for this feature. I don’t think I’ve done the Hollies before, but who knows. I spent a bit of time researching to try to make sure that the lead singer on this version […]

Friday Night Music, getting obscure

Friday, October 28, 2011

Thank God for the power of Google. Periodically it has occurred to me to put up this song, but usually when I’m away from my computer. I always liked it, but I could never remember either the title of the song or the name of the band, though the lyrics (“the world is, a bad […]

Continuing with the topical stuff, and in further tribute to the occupiers throughout the land, one song that I should have thought of earlier and one that’s not quite on point, but is close enough. Both suggested, in one way or another from things I read wandering the web. The first in an opinion piece […]

Trying to keep these somewhat topical, as well as avoiding repeats. It’s not always possible. I wanted to dedicate something to Rick and Anita Perry. Anita says that her husband is being brutalized for his faith by his fellow Republicans. You can’t deny he’s a good Christian. How else explain his relish for the death […]

I was thinking of posting this a couple of days ago, but didn’t, and then Krugman used the opening lines to open his column this morning, so I decided that I would put it up. Not completely germane to the present occurrences in New York and elsewhere, but close enough. This version of For What […]

This is dedicated to all those poor misunderstood Wall Streeters presently under attack by the proles in New York: As you can see here, they’re suffering terribly:

Well, I’m really scraping the bottom of the back catalogue here, though I actually like both of these songs, and both of them were giant hits back in the long ago. They seem similar, in a way. Arrived at through some youtube stream of consciousness browsing. I always wrote these women off as one hit […]

This was like a gift from heaven. It’s getting harder and harder to come up with bands or acts I haven’t had on this feature, so I was glad to have this one dropped on me, so to speak. I was listening to my favorite internet radio station, Absolute Classic Rock out of London. As […]

I don’t think I’ve posted Tina Turner before. If not, it’s a shameful oversight. If I have, well, she’s worth a repeat. Here she is with a guy named Ike, back in the early days. Believe it or not there are a lot of videos of Tina Turner and Mick Jagger singing together, and it’s […]
