I was listening to a show called ‘Sound Opinions’, which is out of Chicago but which XPN picks up and plays on Sundays. The hosts were remembering those we lost in 2017.  They told the story of how Little Stevie Wonder’s career was floundering after his pre-pubescent hit ‘Fingertips’, which was just an extended jam […]

WDEL has the story here. Bobby Cummings, apparently not concerned that nobody but WDEL and someone like me, I guess, are paying attention,  said that he would kick off his campaign for the retiring senator’s seat next Friday. Well. What does anybody/everybody think about that? Countdown to Sam Guy’s first attempt at character assassination begins […]

20.   19. 18. 17. 16. 15. 14.  OK, kids, without looking it up, in what Broadway musical did this song first appear, and who wrote it?  I’ll be ‘danged’ if you can get it… 13. Has anybody seen God and Kendrick Lamar in the same place at the same time? No? It could be […]

Notice my subtle suspense-building mechanism of adding an additional exclamation point each day? Just working on my subliminal mind-control techniques should they become necessary. Today’s tunes run the gamut from the profane to…the not-so profane: 30.  29.      28. 27.  26. 25. 24. 23. 22. They had me at the Curtis Mayfield sample:   […]

Had at least 100 songs I considered.  Resulting in an incredibly diverse list– or at least as diverse as a 66-year-old guy who is set in his ways can muster.  I hope you discover some gems along the way to #1.  Let’s get started: 50.  49. 48. 47.  46. 45. 44.     43.  42. […]
