Finding the Good in Everyday Life
One of the few bright spots during the pandemic has been the quick rise of Nandi Bushnell. Like most people, I had no idea who she was until sometime in 2020. And if you still don't know who she is, you really should. She's a kid drummer. She's a sweetheart. She's a bad ass. And [...]
The good thing about writing a blog is that you can just write about whatever in the world comes into your head. Well, I woke up this morning and it just felt like a Van Morrison day. So I’m gonna give you my 15 favorite Van Morrison songs. It started out as 5, but then [...]
And the countdown of my 10 favorite one-hit wonders continues. I must have heard each of these songs a thousand times each, and I’ll probably hear them a thousand times more. It might not be the coolest list in the world, but hey, it’s my list. See Also: 10 Favorite One-Hit Wonders: 10 - 6 [...]
I caught a little bit of the Grammy Awards on TV, and even though those ceremonies are usually dominated by the same people year after year, I started thinking about all of the musicians and bands over the decades who were one-hit wonders. When they had their hit songs, it seemed like they'd all be [...]
I don't have kids, so I seem to be in a constant state of surprise whenever I learn something new about Generation Z. For example, this morning I learned that they're offended by punctuation, so I'm not exactly sure what to think about that. Apparently, some of them find it too abrupt, because they're used [...]
To people in their 70s and 80s, I'm just a kid. To people under 30, I'm ancient. I've been told I'm part of that lost Generation X, whatever that is. I suppose I do kind of consider myself to be "old," in that I have no idea what Millennials and Generation Z (is that the [...]
One of the best things I discovered in the last year is a rock and roll chorus called Young at Heart. All of the members are over the age of 70. And it’s simply awesome. I suppose a rock and roll group of senior citizens shouldn’t be that surprising. After all, The Rolling Stones are [...]
Kel N’ Rich are kind of a unique story in the music video reaction world. Rich has listened to and played music his whole life. Heavy metal seems to be his main genre. His wife, Kel, is a classically trained musician who was apparently raised in a very strict household and wasn’t allowed to listen [...]
Gonna keep going down this music video reactions rabbit hole, because I'm weird like that. This time, I want to talk about a guy who goes by "Jamel_AKA_Jamal" (his name is Jamel but a lot of people apparently get mixed up and call him Jamal). When I started watching a lot of music video reactions, [...]
Like thousands of other people surfing the Internet, in the summer of 2020, I saw a viral video of two young men listening to “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. Their reaction was priceless, especially when the famous drum solo hit a couple of minutes into the song. As Marie Kondo would say, "It [...]
