Song of the Day – ‘This is It’

  Your faithful narrator is going through a lot of mixed emotions right now: joy and elation, frustration, accomplishment, sadness, determination.  Not at liberty to go into details until next month, so be patient as I imagine the posts/song choices will be even more all over the place than normal depending on how I’m feeling […]

Song of the Day – ‘Live While We’re Young’

  Well, the weekend is here, the ladies are starting to wear less, and I don’t know about you gang, but summer is my favorite season. Most of you know I don’t touch the alcohol, so on those warm summer evenings, or if I’m just catching up with old friends at a diner and just […]

Song of the Day – ‘Never Make a Promise’

  Like most of the kids I grew up with, I remember thinking this was a nice ballad on the radio, then I saw this video and had the ‘Wait a minute…are they implying…oh God…OH GOD!!!!’ And I’m not trying to make light of the very real ‘unspoken’ abuse issues that happen more than anyone […]

Song of the Day – ‘Pusherman’

Get Well Soon Bean!

I have no doubt that […]

Song of the Day – ‘They Don’t Know’

  Technical difficulties yesterday.  Now back to it… The most random (alleged) beef I can recall off the top of my head was apparently, Jon B. and Robin Thicke aren’t each other’s biggest fans.  Don’t know why other than for a time they kind of occupied the same ‘Hall & Oates Memorial’ spot in R&B […]

Song of the Day – ‘Where I’m From’

  I’ve heard from a couple of my aces the past 24 hours; I was reminded of one of my favorite ‘phony/jackass’ moments… This had to be the last year of school.  I had come back from NYC so I had my fair share of New York swag.  Mixtapes, a Knicks jersey, a Brooklyn skullie. […]
