Chanson du Jour

Saturday:
Let’s not close out the week with you thinking that ol’ anonymous is not a hip and happenin guy. I’ve logged many a year listening to great music and could have filled several weeks worth of songs of the day. Maybe anit-blog will invite me back someday if the outcry from this week is not too severe. One of the great new artists of today that I just think is fantastic is Michael buble. Like his music, like his stage performances : really just like everything.

Song of the day: Everything (live) by Michael buble I think I saw myself in the crowd

Good Night America!!

Chanson du Jour

Friday:
It’s quittin’ time for the week and that means only one thing. Time to put the tropical shirt and the parrot hat on and mix yourself a fantastic virgin margarita and let the sounds of Jimmy B take you away for your own weekend vacation. Enjoy the ride on your trip around the sun.
Song of the day: One more trip around the sun Jimmy buffet

Thursday:
The second greatest musical group of all time: (next to the Beatles) need I give any more of an introduction? The Eagles have endured decades, keeping the music fresh and current. They have been copied, mimicked, covered, smothered, scattered and loaded more than an order of hash browns at le House. Sit back and let your day be edified by a cut from the Eagles.
Song of the day: New Kid in Town (live farewell tour) Eagles I think I saw myself in the crowd

If this were twitter, you would be reading about what I had for lunch, or something terribly fascinating like that. Well, here is what I had for lunch. Really, I did. At Taco Bueno.

Detroit Suck City

Well, it happened again. The Rangers go into Detroit for a 3-game series with the Tigers, and get swept. That makes 11 straight losses for the FIRST PLACE RANGERS in Detroit. Tigers come to Texas? No problem. The Rangers can win. Rangers go to Detroit? Big problem. Rangers never win. I thought about this day and night for like 3 weeks in a row, and I have some suggestions as to why the Rangers cannot win in Detroit. Maybe it is all of these things, maybe just one, or maybe a few, but I do think the answer is somewhere on this list.

- If they win, they are afraid that Eminem will rap about killing them on his next "album"
- They are afraid that the UAW bosses are gonna break their kneecaps until the UAW's demands are met
- The city was founded by the French
- They can't get "Detroit Rock City" out of their heads (or any other crappy KISS song for that matter) and it is terribly distracting
- Iggy Pop still refuses to put his shirt on and helps his hometown team by dancing (read: writhing in apparent pain) in front of the Rangers dugout thus driving the team back to the locker room
- It is impossible to focus on the game when you are afraid that your car is getting stolen in the stadium parking lot
- They figure if they play bad enough in Detroit, the yahoos in D.C. will give them billions of dollars (which Tom Hicks could desperately use)
- It is the most liberal big city in America and nothing can perform well when liberalism rules the day...and I mean nothing
- Tigers is a really scary mascot
- There is a constant fear that their CEO will be fired by the federal government and replaced with a puppet leader that will do everything he is told

Well, it's got to be one of those things, but the Rangers don't have another game in Detroit this year, unless they meet in the playoffs, so they should be fairly safe. Phewww.

Go Texas Rangers.

Chanson du Jour

Wednesday:
Suddenly my youthful days of rock n roll were over for a while and I found myself drawn to country music. I attended several concerts from this first mega group of country music ALABAMA which dominated the country music scene for years. Long before George, Garth and Keith urban was this monster group. Let’s enjoy a cut from them. I had a certain infant son that was carried around the house dancing in my arms to this song many, many times. I think it is what helped instill in him a love for music.

Song of the day: Mountain Music (live) by Alabama I think I saw myself in the crowd

Tuesday:
We all have songs that remind us of growing up. Usually that remembrance is intensified if we actually saw this group in concert. There is a connection that endures time. Without divulging too much about anonymous let’s just say that I was going to concerts in the early 70’s and beyond. That certainly gave me a wide variety of musical artists to choose from and I did attend my fair share of concerts. But the one group that seem to capture for me the essence of my teen years that has had an enduring sound is the group The Chicago Transit Authority: affectionately known as CHICAGO
SONG OF THE DAY: Saturday In the park (live) by Chicago I think I saw myself in the crowd.
