Song Of The Day: Dec. 11, 2017
As I prepare this year’s list of my 50 Fave Songs, I figured I’d check back on my #1 choices from years past. Starting, of course, in reverse chronological order. Wonder how they’ll stand the test of time. From 2011: Since my #2 was so distinctly different, and since I seriously considered it for #1, […]

I love it when an impromptu Tex-Mex week breaks out. Let’s dance the week out in style with Joe ‘He’s The King!’ Carrasco:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 9, 2017
One of the great characters in rock ‘n roll history created one of the most memorable Tex-Mex classics. BTW, the song was not about his cat. If you wanna sing along, here are the lyrics: Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw. Had two big horns and a […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Dec. 1-7, 2017
1. Looks Like It’s Sturgeon Vs. Lavelle In SD 4. With Dan Cruse’s withdrawal from the race for family reasons, the stage is now set for an epic showdown between Rethug mouthpiece/obstructionist Greg Lavelle and insurgent Laura Sturgeon. Make no mistake. This is a winnable race. There are now more registered D’s than R’s in […]

Went looking for Raul Malo‘s version of ‘Is Anybody Goin’ To San Antone?’, per Bamboozer’s comment. Couldn’t find it, but found this one, and it cooks:
Tom Carper: Senate’s Biggest Hypocrite?
“Did I slap my wife 20 years ago? Yes. Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? No.” That is a quote from Tom Carper. From this article. An article that paints Carper as the victim of unfounded charges. He admits he knocked around his first wife. (His enablers: ‘She was crazy, you […]

Had to do it, had to do it. Check out the Kinky Friedman shoutout: OK, kids, Trivia Time. Without looking it up, who had the first hit with this song? If you know, you’re more country than me. Which, come to think of it, isn’t all that difficult.
Democrat Dan Cruse Ends Campaign For SD 4 Seat
Citing family matters, Democrat Dan Cruse today announced that he will end his campaign for the nomination to challenge incumbent R Greg Lavelle in SD 4. Cruse’s withdrawal leaves Laura Sturgeon as the only announced D candidate in the 4th SD. His statement: As we’ve walked and talked with residents across the district, our campaign […]
One Legislative Race I’d Love To See
OK, let’s see. We’ve got a D House Speaker who is a DINO and would-be statewide power broker. We’ve got an R State Senator whose personal reputation has been damaged and who represents the only Sussex SD with a D voting edge. We have a would-be statewide elected official who has or had strong relationships […]

Don’t get no more Tex-Mex than the Texas Tornados: Doug ‘Sir Douglas’ Sahm, Augie Meyers, Freddy Fender and Flaco Jimenez:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 5, 2017
Just a great bleeping song. Written by Butch Hancock, performed by Joe Ely and a blistering band. The Clash liked them so much they had them open for them in the early ’80’s:

Why this song? It entered my head yesterday, and refused to leave. Real life? Perhaps at one time…:
Song Of The Day: Dec. 3, 2017
We end Underground Motown Week with a great underappreciated classic from 1967. Written by Smokey Robinson, performed by the Marvelettes. Lead singer Wanda Young-Rogers was married to Miracles’ member Bobby Rogers for awhile, and has lived a hard life: BTW, betcha can’t guess who covered this song. Someone who knew a great song when she […]
