Song of the Day – ‘Don’t Want to Be a Fool’
I never hear people bring this one up as one of Luther’s best. Fair enough but I think it belongs in his second tier of great songs at least…

Song of the Day – ‘Sexual Healing’
Most of the past month of writing has been about the spiritual, romantic part of falling in love. The sequence I wrote today was about…well…
Song of the Day – ‘Rock and Roll Part 2’
Funny how quickly things change. The past couple years when I’ve worn my Chiefs hoodie around town, I’ve been straight clowned. It let everyone know where I was from, and the real sports fans respected me for representing my team when we were, with no argument, one of the worst teams in the League. […]
Song of the Day – ‘Mass Appeal’
Alright, there will be plenty more movie stuff to talk about before this year is out. How about we throw some music back in the mix? One of the great ‘voices’ of hip hop…
One More Pay It Forward…

Eddie said it pretty well yesterday: https://twitter.com/eddiemurphy/status/390196177096163328 On that note, […]
Song of the Day – ‘You Make My Dreams’
The best concert I’ve been to on the West Coast was Prince at the Great Western Forum a couple years back. There’s no question about that. Second on that list would be CougarFest, or as it was advertised, Hall & Oates at the Hollywood Bowl. Glad I was able to clear that show off […]
Song of the Day – ‘Ain’t That a Kick in the Head’
Well, my Monday sucked. But, but…I did end it by laying down some major tracks, which puts a smile on my face. The last couple of things will fall into place soon enough. So let’s go with some Dino for today’s song:
Song of the Day – ‘Lose Yourself’
Finished the first act of my new screenplay over the weekend, got inspired/reminded of things my younger self wanted (thanks GTA V), rolling into the week with a bang. So let’s go with one of the all time hype songs to start the week. Let’s go!
