Sol - I saw him 2 years ago at the Montreal Jazz Festival. He announced that he had a degenerative muscle condition that was causing his muscles to waste away and that he soon wouldn't be able to play guitar anymore. He did sound great that night though.

Sene - I totally agree. Once a SP showed up at my hotel room wearing a Canadian tuxedo outfit and the smell of smoke oozed off her clothes. I wondered if she was a heavy smoker or she was wearing tobacco perfume or maybe she bathed in cigarette smoke before she came in. Maybe denim retains the...

Anyone interested in some new music? 78 year old Paul McCartney has collaborated with 25 year old Dominic Fike on a new song "The Kiss of Venus". While many older people (me included) sometimes look down on today's modern music, McCartney has always listened to and encouraged younger artists...

CS - Wow. Now that's a cover version - bringing something new to the song. Just when I think I've heard everything in the music world something still surprises me. How have I not heard this before - 692 million views on youtube.? Thanks for posting this. And STN's and sene's postings show how...

Billy Idol - Cradle of Love My all-time favorite MTV music video (from back in the days when they used to play music) Whenever I am in Montreal and waiting for that knock on the door, I am hoping for a girl that looks like (and acts like ) Devin in this video. Rock me all night long.

Approval ratings are tricky things when trying to gauge a politician's success. For example: NY Gov Cuomo approval rating April 2020 - 71% NY Gov Cuomo approval rating March 2021 - 38% Just sayin'

Another great artist who is one of my favs. A true original who has so many great songs. None better than this.

RoboSapien - Annie Lennox was always a unique artist. I always loved SexCrime(1984) from when I was a kid. A big hit over in the U.K., but not so much in the U.S. Recently I spent a year searching for a download of the original song before I finally found it. Glad to know that there are other...

And how about that crazy organ riff by Billy Preston? The recently released remastered version of Abbey Road discusses the making of "I Want You." And the write up said that there are different versions from the "Let It Be" sessions were Paul McCartney sings lead and one where Billy Preston...

I think Fradi's take is spot on. I have always thought you should be "punching" up in comedy. Go after the sleazy politicians, the self-righteous actors, moralizing religious leaders, and the self -proclaimed media influencers. There is so much there rich for comedy. Leave children and the...

I didn't see a thread on this anywhere and I think it is worth discussing. Mike Ward is a bilingual Montreal based comedian who pushes the boundaries of humor. He was sued over mocking the voice of a disabled teen aged singer and lost his case (while ordered to pay $35,000 in damages). Quebec...

Robert I would agree with you on this. I am generally surprised that so many Democrats are coming out now calling him a bully. This controversy has been going on for almost a year now, but there was little scrutiny until Letitia James report. I actually think that everyone held back criticism...

So true. But at least it is nice to see state Democrats and Republicans coming together to condemn Cuomo for his actions. Maybe this will be the start of some positive energy in the country.

I find it bizarre the number of people who want to blame Trump for the spread of this pandemic. When will the world hold China liable for the devastation this pandemic caused? We will probably never know the real cause of it due to China's coverup. China has done nothing to help the world battle...

Nice recent remembrance article on Neil in Rolling Stone. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/neil-peart-rush-dead-cover-story-1110496/

NY Governor Cuomo hit a new low today with his comment about the nursing home deaths - “Who cares if they died in a home or a hospital? They died.” It matters if his policies led to unnecessary deaths. It matters to the people who lost loved ones. It matters if new policies can be put into...

Colin is so fake. He can walk around with a smirk on his face and his million dollar contract with Nike. All the while ignoring the slave labor that Nike uses to make their products. Does he care about the Uyghurs who have been locked up in Chinese concentration camps and sold in lots of 100 to...

If you want a good cup of coffee, it's all about the beans. As Larry and Leon discovered ya gotta get the beans:

Is anyone a fan of disco music? I ask this because I recently watched the new Bee Gees documentary "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart." The Bee Gees had initial success in the late 60's as part of the British invasion. They fell out of favor in the early 70's, but were revitalized when they took up...
