From the Beginning: A Musical Impression
Longtime readers know I’m rather into music. And longtime readers know that I’m also into musical parody. Yeah, I’m about to ramble again somewhat – both ways. You’ve been warned. (smile) . . . A couple of months back, I posted a short musical parody. At the time it seemed to be relatively well-received. (Smile) […]
That Prestigious NDSM!
One of our regulars here (sj) speaks very highly of the National Defense Service Medal – though from the context of his comments, if I’m reading him right I believe he’s doing so somewhat tongue-in-cheek. But it turns out that there is a surprising quirk when it comes to this medal. Here’s a trivia question. […]
Even DRG Members Need A Break Sometimes . . .
. . . so let me suggest an appropriate time and place for their next “periodic in-person get-together”. Makes perfect sense to me. The DRG are IMO already kinda “out there” – and you can’t get much farther “out there” than that. They should feel right at home! Who knows – maybe they’ll […]
Sometimes An Outsider “Nails It”
In music, personal familiarity is often the source of inspiration. But that’s not universally true. Outsiders on occasion have insights that others miss. Though not the norm, that’s actually not too terribly uncommon. Robbie Robertson – who wrote much of the Band’s work that forms a tableau of America, including “The Weight”, “Up on Cripple […]
You Say, “Pix or It Didn’t Happen”? Here Ya Go.
Well, the road trip is over. But on the way back, I had a chance to verify something. I previously posted an article about an, um, “interestingly-named” town in Florida. Well, in case anyone thought I – or Google Maps – might be pulling yer leg, here ya go: photographic proof. Yeah, the picture […]
A Couple of Doobies . . . .
. . . really helps pass the time on the road. (smile) I’ll be finishing up a longish road trip tomorrow. This time I decided to do some Doobies while driving to help pass the time. No, I’m not talking about the kind of doobies Colorado recently made legal. Geez. I’m talking the musical Doobies […]
From the Road
I’ve been on the road for a few days, and will be on the road and kinda busy for a few more. Comm is a bit spotty. I’ve posted an earlier photo from the trip in a previous article because it seemed apropos. I thought I’d post this one today – mostly as a way to […]
A Blast From the Past: The Thin White Duke – in AG-388 “Mint Green”!
Regular TAH visitors probably know that at least one of our longtime commenters is a huge fan of the “Thin White Duke”. Yes, that’s a reference to a “David”. But not David as in “David Duke”. David as in “David Bowie”. Bowie’s “Thin White Duke” persona of the mid 1970s masked some major issues. At […]
