Sorry I missed y’all the last two nights. As part of my 2020 return to the Catholicism after a 30 year absence, Sister Babe and I got married in the Church yesterday. We also had over a number of friends & family, and after about 10 hours of beers, I thiunk I got a text […]

Friday Night Videos – Hair Metal!
After last week’s haviness that is Slayer, let’s dial it back to something more season appropriate. For all of the flak that Hair Metal got (granted, a lot of it deserved), it has it’s place. Allow me to set the scene: It’s a sunny, 90 degree summer day, and you’re setting out on your road […]
This Sunday marks Sister Babe and Little Bob’s least favorite holiday of the year – International Day of Slayer! Founded on June 6, 2006 (calendar date 6/6/6) this day honors the Godfathers of Death Metal. Check the preceding link for how to celebrate, and here are three helpings – enjoy! First off, let’s start with […]
In honor of the holiday, how about a few songs from arguably the most quotable war movie ever made? IMHO, I’d put Heartbreak Ridge up there in that category, but onto the music Last summer some neighbors’ kids managed to get head lice during a lockdown, and had to take the clippers to their heads. […]
John Waite’s big song was “Change, but I always liked this one better I’ve heard that “Words” was the bigger hit, but this is the one I remember getting teh airplay on MTV: You know Men At Work’s two hits that still get tons of airplay, but their follow up album had a few good […]
Self explanatory, and no, the live 27 minute version of Dazed and Confused won’t make the cuts. Songs must be originally long! Anywho… onward! When a buddy of mine DJ’d at our college radio station, if you ever heard this during his show it was a safe bet that the DJ needed a bathroom break […]
Sadly, after a few years of fighting dementia, Mother Bob left us a few days ago. She lived long and well, and had people who cared about her nearby until the end. I was going to post a few videos, but for tonight let’s have just one – a touching story of a boy sticking […]

Friday Night Viudeos – Gloria!
For some reason, it’s hard to write a song called Gloria that isn’t cool. Here are 3 examples: Not a big fan of today’s music scene, but this one by The Lumineers is pretty cool: Before U2 became full time pretentious a**holes, they wrote some fun music! Case in point: And of course, The Doors […]
My apologies if you were consuming a beverage when you read that headline, but I’ve got to give credit where it’s due. Even if not in the way he thought, that androgenous potato known as CNN’s Brian Stelter gave a clear and concise analysis of Tucker Carlson. If you’re fortunate enough to have no idea […]
Meant to post earlier, and just realizing I needed something quickly I decided to drop an easy one. So let’s get to three great songs from a great band that sadly get no radio airplay these days. Let’s start with the 60s: Great one from the 70s that I just don’t get why has been […]
One of the great 60s bands hit across three decades. Here’s a great simple song from the 60s that’s been strangely memory holed by FM radio From the 70s – I’m genuinely surprised that I never lived out the first verse of this song And from the 80s. I was considering Athena from It’s Hard, […]
Last week’s post threw some minor shade on the genre, but got some good responses. And while I’ll never love Country the way I love Metal, it’s given me a number of songs I’ll always love. To quickly drop a few… This old school country classic has been covered many times over the years. This […]
Looking for some help from the country & western fans out there. I’ve never been a fan of the genre, but back in the late 70s / early 80s I remember this song being a thing. Is it still a thing and now considered a classic, or did it not stand test of time? And […]
After the breakup the Fab Four still dropped some pretty cool music. In the order that their names generally get dropped: First, John. I’ll always associate this song with having chickenpox while home for Christmas Break when I was in 4th grade Paul I should ask one of my NY Jets fan friends if they […]

On Donovan McNabb, Rush was Wrong
Despite what the title of this post suggests, This is not some Vichy Republican piece trying to dunk on Rush, a la National Review, Bulwark, Dispatch, etc. I originally wrote this around six years ago regarding Rush’s brief stint on ESPN. Ironically enough, now that ESPN has become a political outlet Rush would be a […]
