Opening the 3rd week of the Salute To Mothers, there are some who may think the series is too long- maybe feel ALL my series are too long.
I will address that, and how as these Theme shows progress I think of more songs.
And hey, watch it- this is about MOM after…

After playing songs about Good Mothers last chapter, I promised you Bad Mothers.
And this is a Salute, lol?
Yes, Good, Bad, it takes all kinds.
I'll start with the most notorious Bad Mother I could think of- and this Mom is…

Mothers Day was just a few days ago, so I'll continue with our Salute To Mothers.
After all, they work all year round, so why only honor them for a meager one day?
We'll open this chapter with the Rolling Stones.
How many…

I'll open this chapter for Mothers with two interpretations of the same song.
As I was discussing recently with my friend RJ, there are songs that are covered by artists and Pop-musiced-up to the point where the meaning intended by the writer is…

Chugging along with Rockollections Goes To The Movies, I'll open with a song that was written and recorded by Paul McCartney, and rejected by the producers of a 1978 Movie.
The song turned up 12 years later as a B-side- McCartney, like me, wastes nothing, lol!
After…

Let's go back to the comfort of the Movies.
Without a computer during my maddening travails in getting it tuned up, I watched a good number of them.
Hey, That's Why God Made The Movies!…

The long length of The Beatles' Abbey Road album left little time to really get deep into it on a slightly less than hour show.
So it was decided we would do TWO shows, as the importance of the Beatles and the album, when originally released and still today, was of such a magnitude it would be…

Here is the finale of our look at Money and the Financial Crisis.So I thought we would take a musical look at some of those who TAKE our money, and give little, if anything, in return.That includes Unions, Gold diggers (not being sexist, they can be of either gender), and the biggest offender of all…the Government.What do they care? It’s… Continue

This is the next-to-last chapter, and opens with a song I am sure at least a few people have been wondering when I was going to play!After that, one of the numbers I thought of during the layoff- another variation on that old Barrett Strong tune.I won’t say who does it, but I will tell you that the group’s name sounds like something I would see during my worst hangovers,… Continue

I am dedicating almost this entire episode to Gold.It seems that when people lose confidence in their paper currency they turn to it.While I can understand that, the problem with buying Gold is that it does nothing to help the economy, except for the seller.People hoard it, an unproductive asset- while even leaving your cash in the bank… Continue

Back on the Money & Financial Crisis case.Since I last put out an episode, the Dow Jones dipped 1,000 points in about 20 minutes one day, Greece had to be bailed out (a freakin’ COUNTRY!), Spain’s rating has been downgraded, Ireland is in serious trouble, oil keeps spilling into the Gulf while BP & the Government, aka Dumb & Dumber, stand around with their thumbs up…well maybe their thumbs would be of better use… Continue

The original idea was very simple- like with their others, I would play the album and talk about it.
But things are never so simple.

Rockollections Goes To The Movies returns to the great Movies and Music of the 60's- I can't get out because I keep thinking of more terrific flicks and accompanying songs!
In fact, we'll begin with one that is maybe as known for its Soundtrack as for the Movie itself!…

One thing I'd like to clear up before anything else, I didn't mean to mislead anyone in the previous half hour- the Johnny Horton song, Sink The Bismark, was used in U.S. theater trailers for the film, it was not used in the film…
