Friday Night Music

Friday, January 10, 2014

No question this week. Phil Everly died earlier this week, so the Everly Brothers it must be. They actually peaked slightly before my time, so in a sense I had to rediscover them. It really is a mystery why they couldn’t make the transition into the 60’s, given the influence they had on so many […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, January 3, 2014

This feature is becoming occasional only, as it becomes harder and harder to adhere to certain self imposed limitations, the most important of which is that there shall be no repetition of artists. Anyway, one of my readers (my only reader?) asked me if I’d ever featured the Youngbloods, to which I responded that it’s hard to […]

Friday Night Music, being rich is the best defense edition

Friday, December 13, 2013

I've been sporadic about this lately, I know, but when I read this article, an old Bob Dylan song came to mind. First, the gist of the article: 16-year old Ethan Couch was driving drunk at THREE times the legal limit and had Valium in his system. He plowed into four people going 70 miles […]

Friday Night Music, the late great Lou Reed

Friday, November 1, 2013

This is becoming an occasional feature, but this week I had to bring it back. Lou Reed was a giant of rock, and his passing cannot go unnoticed. A lot of great music, the obvious being Walk on the Wild Side, but I decided to go with Perfect Day. I found several really good versions, and since […]

Friday Night Music Returns

Friday, October 18, 2013

At least I think it will, assuming I can tie some disparate strands together. Now that Obama has won his victory over the contumacious tea partiers, we can safely go back to criticizing him for his many failings, chief among which is his coddling of Wall Street. Pam Martens, the normally sensible blogger at Wall […]

Friday Night Music Returns

Friday, August 23, 2013

After a vacation sabbatical, during which I was just too lazy to search around. Today’s choice breaks a rule. One I’ve broken before, for this is the second time Kermit the Frog has made an appearance on this feature (last time singing the Talking Head’s Once in a Lifetime) and it’s a sad fact that […]

Friday Night Music-Happy Birthday Mick

Friday, July 26, 2013

So, I just learned Mick Jagger turned 70 today, so I really must reprise the greatest Rock n’ Roll song ever.

Friday Night Features

Friday, July 26, 2013

So, this week I'll be combining my "good news" feature with some appropriate music, killing two birds with one stone, if you will. First, for the good news, how about this, the development of a new, more improved method of harvesting the sun's energy: Solar panels are becoming passé. Why put solar panels on top […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, July 19, 2013

As promised in the previous post, I’ve gone looking for happy songs. I’ve found a bunch. Take your pick, or watch them all. First up, Sir Paul (the Beatles version not being available on video) singing Good Day, Sunshine. Willie Nelson, singing’ about Blue Skies: Dick van Dyke, lip syncing in the movie version of […]
