“Movies Rock”, A Real TV Show

Just a note, but if you’re not watching ‘Movies Rock‘ on CBS you are missing a moment in time. It’s a not only a great tribute to Movie Music, that most iconic American artform, but a great showcase for some wonderful talent. Look around the Net if you didn’t see it live and I’m sure [...]

“Dear Mr. President”

I admit to being a boomer in denial about new music. Seems about the time my youngest moved out, I lost track of anything new from the younger generations. Fortunately, Elmer forwarded the link to this performance by Pink at You Tube:

It’s Monday! Don’t think of it as the beginning of a long work week, think of it as one day closer to next weekend.

Ten Post Round-Up: Tenacious Tuesday

I’m really digging this extra daylight. But, then, I’m a morning person.

Let me start by saying thanks to Pamela and Donnie for inviting me to blog on The Democratic Daily!
