Birthday Memories
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedAs I spend my last day of being 68, I thought about all the birthdays I could remember that were special in either a good or bad way. Surprising that the few I’m about to talk about are the only ones that still jar the memory bank in the least, and the bad ones are […]
Eighteen Years and a Few Wars Later…
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedI can’t even remember if I’ve talked before about where I was or what I was doing on that infamous date in history, though I can be certain that when it actually happened, I was still asleep. I didn’t wake up until about 7:30 LA time that day, by which time it was already 10:30 […]
Racism On The Comeback Trail
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedWhen I was 7, I lived in Lafayette, Louisiana, heart of Cajun country, and very segregated. In that whole year our family lived there, I don’t believe I ever encountered a single black person. Certainly not at my school! I was aware they existed, but only from seeing them on television. What I didn’t know […]
My First and Last Rock Festival
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedWith all the hype centered around this weekend’s almost-annual Glastonbury Festival, the self-proclaimed Greatest Festival in The World, I couldn’t begin to list the many things I’d rather do, or places I’d rather be. And that’s not to condemn the Festival itself as to just say I had my experience with that 50 years ago […]
Back To Nostalgia and Show Biz Stories
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedI’m gonna leave Trump and Brexit out of the discussion this time around, as both nauseate me, and I’ve reiterated that point enough times. That said, in the past week, I have noticed two obituaries for singers that few would recognise by name, and only a few more would remember the groups they were associated […]
Now I like Corbyn again
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedI try not to get over involved in British politics, as there’s so much I still don’t and may never understand. I would lean toward supporting the Labour Party if I were a voting citizen of the UK, but during the time Jeremy Corbyn has been leader of the party, he’s not always been on […]
I Guess They Were Wrong
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedHe must be a totally honourable man if two years of investigation and countless articles by the “Fake News Media” failed to get him indicted. Someone has to eat a truckload of humble pie. Yep, the libtards really got reamed on that one, didn’t they? How dare they try to pillory a man who’s brought […]
Nope, Never Met Him
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedBut I did meet two of Peter Tork’s Monkees band mates, the two who are still with us. In spite of being a pre-fabricated band (the first version of a Boy Band), a band which was put together more on their acting abilities than their musical ones, their music, whether or not it was actually […]
Top and Bottom Five of 2018
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedAnother year, another list. And as has been the case, I listen less and less to what the kids are listening to, so I tend to miss quite a bit. But since nearly half of any given week’s charts, except maybe at Christmas time, are dominated by interchangeable females or half-asleep Drake wannabe’s, it should […]
The Worst New Year’s Gig Of All
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedAnd in the 48 years since my first New Year’s Eve gig, I’ve only not worked on six of them, and five of those were consecutive (2008-2012). For the most part, New Year’s Eve sucks from a performance standpoint. Why should people in the mood to get totally shit-faced be in a venue where they […]
