Four more losses to reflect on here from April of 2026…
These guys were a singer and songwriter, with songs like “You Never Even Called Me by My Name”, “Longhaired Redneck”, “The Ride”; a designer, known for creating He-Man and the Masters of the Universe toy line; a comic book, science fiction, and television writer; and a guitar player, bassist, record producer and songwriter best known for his session work in Nashville.
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah, Some call me the gangster of love, Some people call me Maurice, ‘Cause I speak of the pompatus of love
Steve Miller wrote about the pompatus of love in his song “The Joker” from his eighth studio album The Joker (1973). The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1974. It is one of two Steve Miller Band songs that feature the nonce word “pompatus”. A nonce word is a term coined for a specific occasion or purpose,
Long, Long, Long – Turn!, Turn!, Turn! – Dance, Dance, Dance – Da, Da, Da – Bills, Bills, Bills – No, No, No
How many songs can you think of that have the same word, repeated three times, for the song title? In this series of posts, I’m going to try to come up with a few. Wish me luck. I’ll check in with some of the big rock bands and solo artists to see what I can find.
