Totally Boss response to fans’ request to play a song Bruce and the band had not played in a long while. I loved every second of how they worked that out…on stage…in front of the audience. Fantastic!
Like so many others, once I heard Barenaked Ladies One Week, I couldn’t get it out of my head. Then it was played again and again and again….
My Mom loved rock music of all sorts. So when I came of age (musically speaking) and found a song and band I loved, it didn’t matter that the band had a satanic cult reputation and I was going to a Catholic school. If I liked Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult, that …
Rosa Dear by Ruth ~ I heard this song while watching videos from the wonderful YouTube channel “Vet Ranch.” They use it during closing credit, and I love it.
I notice this song, “Welcome Home, Son” by Radical Face, on the closing credits of the documentary, Forks Over Knives. I liked the acoustical guitar melody. But after reading the lyrics, I can’t say I understand much of what they mean. “Sometimes you’ve got to just let art flow over you.”

The Only Child is one of my favorite Jackson Browne songs, though I can say that about almost every song off Browne’s The Pretender album. A dear college friend introduced me to Jackson Browne’s music and lyrics. I can never thank him enough.
Apologies for the NSFW language used in this post. If you read it, you’ll see it’s not gratuitous; it’s appropriate for the context. Leave me a nasty comment if you don’t agree. ~BZ Dean Zimmer found a “Drummer Wanted” ad and decided to try out for the spot. Unfortunately, Zimmer has arthrogryposis, a condition that …
Amanda Palmer gave a TED talk in early 2013 that kinda blew me away. As it started, I was a bit put off or threatened by this bold woman—such are my insecurities. But as I listened, I immediately began to respect this artist, this thinking, feeling, connecting human being. By the end of her talk, …
Warren Zevon ~ Keep Me in Your Heart ~ I didn’t discover this poignant, moving song by the late Warren Zevon until after my Mom died. It would have been the perfect tribute…And all that she would have asked.
