Fire/Cracker


I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight

The ukulele version is sweet. But I still love the original.

My dog has fleas


To bathe me again

Though this afternoon’s rain came from the west, not the ocean, it made me think of this old favorite song.

Here comes the summer


What the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in the head

I’m way too old for teen angst, but I’m not too old to enjoy this song.

Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind?

I’m not especially a superhero movie fan, but I enjoyed Iron Man very much. Of course, I’d probably enjoy Kung Fu Panda if it starred Robert Downey Jr.

Feeling like I ought to sleep

This song, which I heard today for the first time in I don’t know how many years, has aged surprisingly well.

Too hot!

We’re three days into the summer’s first heat wave, which is expected to last another week. And it’s only the beginning of June. My iPod must have sensed my discomfort, because this song came up on the shuffle as I was driving home this afternoon.

Rock of Ages

“Rest in Peace” seems a particularly inapt wish for the father of such a frenetic beat. Better to say “Rock On, Bo!”
