My Gen X Playlist: Stars – Les Miserable
The last live performance I saw was Les Miserable late last year. As I mentioned in a prior post, this was my first musical I saw back in my college days and is still my favorite. I never did read the book, though. The 1,376 pages were a little intimidating back then. Hell, they’re intimidating … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Stars – Les Miserable
My Gen X Playlist: Achin To Be – The Replacements
Not to long ago we wrote about our involvement in the community. WordPress hasn’t allowed me enough time to step outside and do anything more. So I’ll just provide a link here and pick a good song. Dealer’s choice today. I’ve always like The Replacements’ Achin To Be. This song was released in 1989 and … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Achin To Be – The Replacements
My Gen X Playlist: That’s the Way of the World – Earth, Wind and Fire
I was on a backpacking trip once and struck up a conversation with an older gentleman on the trail. I was single at the time and he gave me some good advice. Learn how to dance and cook. The majority of young men can’t do either well. Just think of how you’d stand out. Although … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: That’s the Way of the World – Earth, Wind and Fire
My Gen X Playlist: Disarm – Smashing Pumpkins
I don’t know why I’m thinking about condiments, but I am. In general, all ketchup and catsup are the same. Yellow mustard tastes the same from squeeze bottle to squeeze bottle, regardless of the shape. But mayonnaise is different. I know we preach equality here in America, but I’m sorry, not all mayo is created … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Disarm – Smashing Pumpkins
My Gen X Playlist: Walk Forever By My Side – The Alarm
These days I don’t really ask for advice. Most times, a fifty plus year life is enough to weigh upon when deciding life choices. Do I always settle on the best choice? Absolutely not. But I don’t expect to. I’ve always believed there are no right or wrong answers for the majority of life’s choices. … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Walk Forever By My Side – The Alarm
My Gen X Playlist: You Happy Puppet – 10,000 Maniacs
According to some, I’m a RINO. What the past eight years have taught me, I am now a man without a party. I began to feel this way immediately the moment Trump won the primary election for the 2016 presidential race. This was before the truly bat shit crazy hit the fan. I just couldn’t … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: You Happy Puppet – 10,000 Maniacs
My Gen X Playlist: Fade Into You – Mazzy Star
I wish there was an accurate GPS for life. Not like Waze that takes me through the most dangerous parts of LA at midnight. I need something a little more reliable to guide me away from the potholes of everyday life. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything out there so I just make sure the essentials are … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Fade Into You – Mazzy Star
My Gen X Playlist : Brave – Sara Bareilles
I wouldn’t call myself a worry wart, but I’ve done my share of worrying. It doesn’t come from a single source. Sometimes it’s spawned by my need to be in control, when I’m not. Other times it’s being overwhelmed with an overload of responsibility, wondering how I’m going to carry the world on my shoulders. … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist : Brave – Sara Bareilles
My Gen X Playlist: Do They Know It’s Christmas – Band Aid
Christmas. It’s one of the few holidays we have the entire family together. It’s also a time for my mom to be grandma and love the grandkids. Our Christmas is all about family. In 1984, a collection of musical artists came together to raise money and awareness for a good cause. They recorded Do They … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Do They Know It’s Christmas – Band Aid
My Gen X Playlist: Ring of Fire – Social Distortion
As I got older, I came to the realization that I was no longer in shape to continue playing basketball. A few other friends found themselves in the same boat and we looked for other means of exercise. We landed on hiking, camping and backpacking. Our first camping trip was an eye opener. A bunch … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Ring of Fire – Social Distortion
