T-t-t-talking ’bout My Generation

I’ve had this queued up for a couple of days, with no time to view/listen, but when the link came through my RSS reader, via Ronni at Time Goes By, I took the time. If this doesn’t put a big smile on your face, I don’t know what will. My generation, indeed. Here’s a link … Read more

Kid’s Prayer

I heard Dan Bern’s song, Kid’s Prayer, two times today while listening to KPIG. I’ve heard it before, and hadn’t paid a lot of attention to the words; hearing it twice in one day caused me to take another look. Though almost 10 years old, the song could have been written as a direct response … Read more

Jay-Z’s Dead

Spinjunkies has released a new album, Jay-Z’s Dead, which “encompasses the entire Black Album by Jay-Z set to the music of the Grateful Dead”. It is a remix, similar to the Grey Album’s blending of Jay-Z and the Beatles. I personally find this variation more interesting and fun to listen to compared to the Grey … Read more

Waiting for a Miracle

Powerful, inspirational lyrics from Bruce Cockburn’s song Waiting for a Miracle: You stand up proud You pretend you’re strong In the hope that you can be (I first came to know this song by hearing it performed live by the JGB.
