Friday Night Music-Velvet Underground

Friday, December 12, 2008

I’m sort of coming to the end of my rope here. The unofficial rule is that I can’t repeat any particular band. I don’t think I’ve done the Velvet Underground, which, if so, is an unforgivable omission, since they were one of the seminal rock and roll bands. Oddly enough, I thought of them at […]

Friday Night Music-Paul Simon.

Friday, November 28, 2008

I perused the archives, and I see that though I’ve put up a couple of Simon and Garfunkels, I’ve never put up Simon all by his lonesome. I think this is one of his best, and I’m guessing he agrees, as he featured this decades old song on his recent appearance on Colbert. This clip […]

My wife and I split up the Thanksgiving duties. She prepares most of the food (though I make a mean onion soup, for the first course). I do the dishes. Since we have no dishwasher, it’s a formidable job, usually lasting just shy of two hours. So I actually do pull my weight. Tradition is […]

Friday Night Music-Pat Benatar

Friday, November 21, 2008

A search of my past blog posts indicates I haven’t put up a Pat Benatar video, unless I did so on my old blog. One of the mysteries of youtube is the fact that some artists are well represented, while with others there’s slim pickings. There’s only one decent video of Hit Me With Your […]

Come drinking

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Almost forgot, but don’t you forget. Drinking Liberally, tomorrow night at 6:30. The Bulkeley House in New London, on Bank Street. We’re hoping to have a big crowd. We’ll certainly have plenty to talk about, which, if truth be told, we do more liberally than drink. There’s the past election, in which we can wallow, […]

Dancing in the Streets

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

I don’t think my son will mind if I quote from an email he sent about the reaction in Brooklyn last night: Spontaneous street parties erupted all over Brooklyn. It was really quite amazing. People were dancing, beating drums, and chanting “yes we can.” They were randomly hugging each other and waving Obama flags. Black, […]

Marching Song

Sunday, November 2, 2008

The Republicans are turning up the sleaze in the final days. We can’t take anything for granted. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM3CYEdr5fA[/youtube] As Bruce sings, “Only thing we did was right Was the day we started to fight!”

Once again, thanks to JP for the suggestion. This one seems timely. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG8ZUaLACZ8[/youtube]
