"In the sweet old country Where I come from Nobody ever works Nothing ever gets done." There was a summer a long time ago, in the mythical (to some) town where I grew up, when it seemed that the Rolling Stones' album "Some Girls" was in constant airplay. It didn't seem possible that so many … Continue reading Some Girls

Calling bullsh*t
While I was driving down to Kingston last night to meet a friend, I was impatiently scanning radio stations looking to hear something that wasn't some nonsense about how I'll "only miss the sun when it starts to rain." When I landed on Pink Floyd's Money, I hit the button to stop scanning and turned … Continue reading Calling bullsh*t
Mountain (without the) Jam

During last night's run, a song I was unfamiliar with came on my Spotify playlist. The voice was familiar, but it took me a minute to bring the vocalist's name to my lips...Lana Del Ray. As I listened, a face popped into my mind and I smiled, thinking of the now-graduated student who had brought … Continue reading Music lessons
Rocking out the summer – part 1
In the past few months, I've been to some really great shows up at SPAC. Despite the cold start to the season, Memorial Day weekend, when Griffin and I went to see both nights of the Dave Matthews Band, and the ridiculous prices demanded by Live Nation for shows and refreshments, I gotta say, it … Continue reading Rocking out the summer – part 1
