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 […]
What a Nice Way to End the Year
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedLet’s have SURGERY! Something I haven’t had in 31 years, after accidentally smashing a light globe with my guitar and a big chunk of glass landing on the base of my thumb, severing a tendon. The club where that accident happened took full responsibility and paid for the surgery, which would have cost me $3200 […]
A Sad Day in San Francisco Remembered
Published by Rick on Tagged Uncategorized40 years ago today, around 10:00 in the morning, I went to the nearby Safeway supermarket in San Francisco to pick up a few things, mostly in a great mood, as I was less than three weeks away from getting married for the first time. When I got back home, my fiancé had a look […]
Could this be my last trip to America?
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedActually, whenever I see a newspaper article where the headline is a question, for example “Did Hillary run a child sex ring from a pizza parlour?” my first response is usually no. And that’s probably the answer to this question as well, but if the country I’m going to visit tomorrow for a mere 9 […]
The Good Old Days of Student Activism and Merry Pranks
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedI think of these times now because my 50-year high school reunion is happening this weekend, and while I knew it would be difficult logistically to attend, the other factor I had to consider was looking at the list of attendees and seeing three names of people I unfriended and blocked on Facebook as soon […]
The Worst Human Being I Ever Met
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedBear in mind, I never met Donald Trump, nor would I ever care to, but let’s just say the person I’m about to describe is what Trump would be if he ran a nightclub. The man was a thug, a bully, a wannabe gangster, involved in any activity, legal or not, that could squeeze that […]
