Rumours

Image
Arguably the best rock album of...well, a long time... RUMOURS ... by Fleetwood Mac ...you know 'em?...was dropped on this date, in, gulp 1977...what?...40 years ago...oh my...by this time, there were good songs throughout the disc...not like before where there always seemed to have fillers...right?...they were hot like for just a few years...I thought longer, but no...they still are touring and their show is very good... PDX ...battling for the 8th spot in the west... hosted the Mavs last eve...the Marc Cuban team...should be a W for them PNWers, right?...nope...another loss...a dude that Dallas picked up from the D League just the past week, scorched the Blazers with 32 points...undrafted rookie out of Indiana, Yogi Ferrell ...maybe 6'1"...maybe...left unguarded most of the nite... lawdy, the TB's are awful defensively ...have I said this before?... MVP. ..this is what the dang foo pundits throw out at us, prior to the NBA telecasts of the games...hey dudes, i...

Happy Friday!

Morning kids...hey, it's FRIDAY! ...wipe that frown off your face and let's have a great day, and weekend...geez, it's the Super Bowl....c'mon...I started it off by adding a new playlist to my iTunes library...you ever do this?...now on my Beats and it is great... Dang, I'm gonna bring you down on this...but, there was a gal that just passed...and they released an album of hers... Joey Feek , of Joey and Rory fame..."If Not For You"...so haunting...damn...it's just a single from it...OK, to go the other direction...a newbie and what to look for... Christina Taylor ...check it out...of course, the Horse is into soft country stuff...duh...I got this Nashville side to me...think we could live in the Gulch?...itchin'... Hey dudes, I did go out and practice yesterday...met with one of my playing buddies...showed me how a golf swing should look...ha ha...anyway, it was cool that he did so...CWeeks...good dude...I am still a spaz... Tiger ...hur...

2/2

The country takes a break this weekend...and watches the gala event of the year... the Super Bowl ...are there more parties for this than any other?...ie, New Years, Halloween, Mardi Gras, etc...maybe...the most bet on, I'd reckon... New England vs Atlanta ...this year it's held in Houston, Texas ... You may get in one of them 10 by 10 grids ...buy a square or two...the prices varies...usually pays off for the score at the end of each quarter...there are other things, too...sometimes for every score... a lot depends on how much each square costs ... Nachos, sliders, wings, etc...the normal fare (fair?)...plus plenty of the Budweiser ...BTW, that company does make some great commercials...there are peops who bet on that, too...and, many watch them as much as the game itself ...right?... How many times have the former San Diego Chargers played in the Super Bowl...this the 51st time of the game?...once...yup...one time...bye bye Spanos...and the whatever you are ridin...

Immigration Man

Image
I'm surprised that those leading the revolt haven't hooked up with Crosby and Nash ...to use the song of "Immigration Man" as their theme...one of their's back in 1972...actually written by Graham Nash ...and sang with David Crosby ...you know of 'em... 1/2 of CSNY ...couple of things...what I termed 'hooked up' has different connotations now...ha ha...and...Graham and David have another one of them 'Feuds' brewing...and aren't talking to each other...let alone performing...in fact, Crosby is coming to Humphrey's in April...the act is called 'Crosby and Friends' ...hmmm, wonder who the friends are?... Staying in music...today on the Beats is Boz ...lawdy he is good...hey, I did not know he dropped an album a couple of years back...has a couple of duets with Lucinda Williams and that red haired gal, Bonnie Raitt...it's kind of jazzy...it is growing on me...and is also on vinyl, if you gots one of them turntables...for ...

Feud

Morning, kids ...how ya"ll doing?...just for kicks, I went back...way back...to the beginning of my blog writing...it started with a paragraph...geez, I must have had maybe 5 readers then ...maybe less...amazing how it has evolved...anyway, here we go today, 1/31/17... Feud ...and it's a doozy...someone has stood up to Chuck...you know, Chas Barkley ...the former NBA star...who now is an anchor on the TNT telecast of the NBA games... he is along side the host, Ernie Johnson, and 2 other NBA former stars, Kenny Smith and Shaq ...it's an often comedic side to analysis of the games...sometimes it's more true stuff... Chuck stepped on LeBron James a bit... called him out for not being the proper leader ...of the Cavs...what?...the King (LBJ) may not be the very best player in the league...but NOT the face of the Cavaliers?...struck a nerve with him...and he lashed out and back at Barkley... Reminding us all about what Barkley did in his playing days...certainl...

The Travel Ban

Image
The US just woke up ...and so did the world we live in ...the newly elected Prez is doing what he said he'd do... make it tougher to get into the USA ... The Travel Ban ... that affects the 7 countries that  were named by the former Prez O ...that have had history of harboring terrorists...there is an instant reaction to his decree...I guess that is what one calls it... Of course, the Hollywood peops are leading the revolt ...witness the SAG Awards statements...no surprises...there are many others doing the same...however...have you read the order?...you know, kids, we have been monitoring who goes in and who goes out for some time now...just witness what we go thru at the airports...and, since 9/11 the CIA has been more vigilant... Is this just yet another step in finding the bad peops?...like he said he'd do...and...for you up in arms...where was this passion 6 months ago when it would have made a huge difference in the voting?...rather than after the fact... did yo...

Wide Open

Image
The logjam is at the TOP ...of the Farmer's T ...with so many blokes just a few strokes within of each other...it shall be a donnybrook of a finish...kind of think it just may take over time to find a winner...shoot, even Lefty is only 4 back ...BTW...the weather was splendid...nary a bit of wind...the leaders going into the final round at -9... Snedeker and Rodgers ... I often wonder the sanity of some patrons of the T...as they scramble about trying to find just the right spot to watch them Pros...there is this one group...that gather at the Grey Goose Tent ...that has seats right on one of the par 3 greens...the dudes get the seats...and then drink their Vodka...and get rowdy ...do some form of gambling and shout out stuff... " red , white, or blue ! " ...turns out that they are betting on what caddy (they wear them colors) touched the green first ...what?...this is the golf T for them?...oh my... One thing that my son and I both mentioned while we watched th...
