  3. jeaniebeanie on All the Leaves are Green, and the Sky is YellowJuly 16, 2026

    Your OCD Twinster suggests: "tan" or "beige" to get the correct one syllable. But heck, it IS yellow. It's not…

  4. MIH and WGH on Flat-FootedJuly 12, 2026

    I wore one of those, very uncomfortable. I called mine "das Boot". Heal quickly.

Internet and Peppermints

At this moment, Drew Carey is playing the ultimate Pop Psychedelic single, “Incense and Peppermints” from 1967, on his Sirius XM Friday Night Freak-Out.

The Strawberry Alarm Clock are working on a new album. I tossed twenty bucks into the pot to help them get it done.

Time Passages

In America, the Beatles were a phenomenon that lasted from their arrival in New York, February, 1964, until Paul’s breakup announcement in April, 1970. Just six short years.

I retired six long years ago, and with a click I can instantly return to that time.

The Beginning of the End

“Time Passages” by Al Stewart is another song I remember well from my stint working in radio.

A Monkees Mat-ter

Best buddy Denro gifted me with a new turntable mat to add to my growing collection of rotating fun felts.

An original 1967 Mono LP that I “borrowed” from my sister and “forgot” to return.

Nino & April and Mann & Weil

Larry Grogan started his “Testify!” show last night with a Nino Tempo and April Stevens set. Note: this playlist might start automatically, depending on your browser.

Cynthia Weil died yesterday. She composed many hits with her husband Barry Mann. Here’s one from my DJ days at the radio station.
