8,497th Commentary on The Super Bowl
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedIt’s hard right now to walk through the casino and not hear groups of people trying to determine what drugs the Seattle Seahawks’ coaching staff must have been on when they made possibly the worst single play call in the history of not just the Super Bowl, but maybe in the entire history of pro […]
So Why UK?
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedThis coming August will mark the 15th anniversary of my first performance in UK, and that in itself was a culmination of a good 35 years of wanting to be here, just not knowing how to do it. My first thoughts in that direction were triggered, like so many of us Yanks/music freaks, by the […]
Bottom 10 of 2014
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedA few surprises as to who DIDN’T make my bottom 10, but there were also a couple of perennials. As I mentioned a couple days ago, there’s a couple on my bottom 10 that made several critics’ TOP 10’s, which made me think I missed something, then listened to those suspect tunes again, and stuck […]
Top 10 Singles of 2014
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedWhat gets me is seeing other year-end lists of this sort and finding NONE of my favorite songs on any of the so-called authorities’ top 10’s or 20’s, but finding quite a few on THEIR lists that will be on my Bottom 10 list which I’ll share in a couple days. Still, for the second […]
Another Anniversary, Another Opening Act Story
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedIt seems that I’ve got dates spread out all over the calendar that commemorate something. Maybe it’s having been married three times and feeling compelled to remember all sorts of dates, though it might also be my own anality that’s to blame. Whatever, today is the 36th anniversary of my first wedding, an event attended […]
First Anniversary
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedIt was during this week a year ago that I began my weekly gig as a ward volunteer at the Marie Curie Hospice. My most important function, at least as I’ve seen it, is when I’m not serving them lunch or tea, to talk to them if they’re able to respond, and to help them […]
HE’S Not Dead, but His Career Is on Life-Support
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedIn the late summer of 1979, we’d signed with ICM (International Creative Management) for representation, then the second largest agency in Hollywood, behind William Morris. We were meeting with the head of the concert division, and he just asked us about our availability sometime in the following month. He was being kind of coy then […]
What was I doing 10 years ago? Oh yeah….
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedNovember 20, 2004, and I was about to put in the final piece of the puzzle to my plan to leave America and live in UK full time. It had all begun at Jongleurs Comedy Club in Bow, East London, on Saturday, April 5, 2003. I was closing the show that night, and should remember […]
By Request — The Flamingo Guitar Saga
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedNo really, someone from the Midwest who happened to see the first Pee Wee Herman show when he was seven has been curious about my flamingo guitar ever since. So dude, this is for you, but it may be of interest to others as well. Back in the mid 70’s, when Rick & Ruby were […]
“It’s My Birthday, It’s My Birthday, I’m-ma Spend My Money”
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedIn my haste to avoid thinking of The Beatles’ songs either about birthdays or the number 64, I settled on this goofy Will.i.am song from a few months ago, and it got so stuck in my head for the ensuing hour that I started thinking of the Beatles, but even doing that, the only other […]
