I can’t believe I got to hear “Rosalita” at my first two Bruce Springsteen concerts this past year.  That’s kind of amazing, really.  I’m sure there are people who have been going to Bruce shows for ages and have still never heard that one, even though it became a much more regular occurence on the [...]

Earlier this month, I bought a device called a Time Capsule.  It’s a product Apple [...]

I woke up this morning with another song in my head.  For two hours as I tossed, turned, and cursed my alarm clock all I could hear was “So, Mary, climb in.  It’s a town full of losers and I’m pulling out of here to win.”
As I made my way into work this morning, I [...]

I hadn’t planned on starting here today, but spontaneity is a good thing.  I was getting ready for work this morning, making sure the Big Top of a shirt I have to wear to cover my fat ass was secured, when I started humming “Radio Nowhere.”
“I was just thinking the other day about how lucky [...]
