This is one of those songs I never tire of hearing. Used to love seeing the Allman Brothers.

Maybe it's because I've lived in concert halls most of my life that musicians lyp syncing live is absolutely PATHETIC. Backing tracks to liven the sound is not cheating, BAD used them on everything, and they still had like ten guys on stage. It assists in not requiring more musicians than...

I get that young people use auto tune and mime vocals while playing live. They have no musical integrity. I have a video of Pink live. She's swinging on a rope and the vocal is perfect. She's walking across the stage singing, and her breath is louder than her vocal. It's ridiculous. What's so...

Are you saying there is not one artist that you wish you could be? I love plenty of artists. Some, most would think I have special needs. But, that's not the point. You look up to no one? I'm not sure if that's strange or sad. I never was a Beach Boys fan. I won't turn them off. But, they just...

Everyone has their musical heroes. Jimmy Page #1. He's other worldly on the guitar. Mick Ronson #2. Magnificent guitarist and arranger. Mick Jones #3. He's no powerhouse on the guitar. But, everything he does is perfect. Brilliant songwriter and vocalist. He was the musical force of the...

I enjoy his videos. Been watching him for years.

There isn't much new music I give a shit about. I pretty much can't stand anything. The other night I watched a film co-written, directed by Meg Ryan, starring her and David Duchovney. Ryan back in the day was gorgeous. Then she did the surgery crap, and she's almost impossible to look at. I...

I was only confused with a star once, and it was embarrassing. 1982 or 83 I wore a big hat. We went to a Mexican Restaurant in Huntington NY, and after eating the waitress puts her checkbook down and asks for my autograph "Boy George". I am a boy, and my name is George. But, I sure ain't Boy...

ENJOY! You earned it. I'm from NY. Lived almost 35 years on Long Island. But, spent most of my time in NYC. Then lived in NJ with most nights in NYC. We drove across country to go to Mt Rushmore years ago. We were on some thruway that passed Chicago. There wasn't even a consideration of...

Secretaries signed a lot of film star autographs. There are ways to tell, though now you really have to be an expert (99.99% aren't) or just accept that what you have might not be real. Though usually when an autograph is inscribed to a person, the chances are better that it's real. I've seen...

Max Steiner is the #1 composer in film history. His biggest score is Gone With The Wind. But, he also did Casablanca, Now Voyager, and a few hundred others. If you're into old films, you know the name. One of my favorite films City For Conquest stars James Cagney. His brother played by Arthur...

That was nice. I liked Toby a lot. The first time I saw him was at the Annapolis Naval Academy (I think that's what it's called). He was great. For his encore he performed a new song, Courtesy of the Red White and Blue. Just him and his guitar. It was excellent. As the years passed, and the...

My dad had an "Any day above ground" bumper sticker. He's not above ground anymore. I think my brother has him in a closet in VA.

That is a charmed life. Or should I say PRIVILEGED life. Most people don't look at the good in their lives, and let the negative overwhelm them. It's great to count your blessings. I do every day.
