Matt from iMartist did a Music Tag post. You randomly play ten songs from your playlist and write down your favorite lyrics from each song. This sounded fun so I thought I’d give it a try. Thanks for the idea, Matt. Here goes. Girlfriend in a Coma – The Smiths Only Morrissey could write and … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist – Music Tag
I saw a random ad for a fire sale on used vinyl and CDs. It’s been a long time since I bought any kind of music. Since I donated my turntable years ago, I went to check out the CDs. Surprisingly, this sale drew a decent crowd. The demographic was on the greyer side. That … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Running to Stand Still – Darius Rucker
I was at Dick’s Sporting Goods yesterday and saw a sweatshirt with my high school’s logo. That made me chuckle. I moved back to the city I grew up in five years ago, but never really gave much thought about my high school years. I almost bought it. I know people who are good about … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Turpentine – Brandi Carlile
My mom stayed home to raise us kids for much of our childhood. There were four of us with a year or two apart each, so you can imagine the chaos trying to corral us. It wasn’t fair. It was four against one. Nearly impossible, but she somehow managed it. Three of us are boys. … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: The Mother – Brandi Carlile (again)
When I was young, I remember my mom gathering us four kids to have a talk. Kids, there’s too many of you for me to do all the housework. We’re all going to learn how to do things around the house and you all are going to pitch in. Over the course of a few … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: The Mother – Brandi Carlile
I think I’ve mentioned before, my go to in a pinch is an omelette. Nothing fancy. I think this was a hand me down gene from my father. My dad could grill on the BBQ and also make breakfast. When I think about it, I think those are the bare essentials in a guy’s culinary … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: This Time Tomorrow – Brandi Carlile
I had a few appointments that I schedule on the same day – my blood test for my annual physical and going in person to get my Real ID from the DMV. I tried to schedule both close enough to knock it out on the same day. In doing so, I had to go to … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Turpentine – Brandi Carlisle
The first time my father shook my hand as an adult was one of my favorite days. The handshake was more than a transition from a father/child to father/son. I felt acceptance, equality, respect and love. Thereafter, whenever I’d see my father, we would always greet and say goodbye with a warm handshake. These were … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Most of All – Brandi Carlile
Well, I can tell you what makes a terrible leader: a lying, narcissistic, bully. I could add more, but shouldn’t that be enough? I think this came to mind because of the upcoming elections. I don’t know how people can support a bully in any shape or form. It’s beyond me. The only time I’ve ever felt … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: The Joke – Brandi Carlile
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. My family gets together to catch up and enjoy a big turkey feast. I also get to see how my nieces and nephews have grown. A number of them are beginning college and it’s wonderful to see how they are becoming young adults. I love the feeling of … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Crowded Table – The Highwomen
I typically have Pandora playing in the background when I’m working. I like the variety and I get to listen to artists that I may not typically listen to. That’s how I was introduced to Brandi Carlile. I remember the first time hearing The Story – she blew me away. I think what first got … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: The Story – Brandi Carlile
