More to report on here in early 2026.
These guys were a mosaic artist based in Philadelphia who completed more than 200 murals; a songwriter that composed for Madonna, Bangles, Cyndi Lauper, etc; an actor in movies like Revenge of the Nerds series, The Tommyknockers, Escape from L.A, and TV like Kung Fu, Bonanza, etc; and a hairdresser, disco musician and performer.
All these songs have their title starting with the letter “A”.
“Another Day” is a song written and performed by Paul McCartney, released in February 1971 as his first solo single following the breakup of The Beatles, though it was originally started during the Let It Be sessions with lyrical contributions from Linda McCartney, who also received a co-writing credit.
These are songs that contain “Salvation Army” in their lyrics.
Hazy Shade of Winter is a song written by Paul Simon and originally recorded by Simon & Garfunkel in 1966, released as a standalone single before appearing on later compilations. The track, with its urgent tempo and melancholic lyrics, reflects on the passage of time and lost opportunities, using the changing seasons
No matter matter what , You’re gonna gonna get the girl , I really want to, Gotta gotta get the girl
Artists have often written, and performed, songs with the sounds of a past era. Here I’ll discuss some of the fun ones that I have enjoyed over the years. I’ll start with six of my favorites, and then in Part Two, I’ll expand this list. Enjoy!
Is that you looking at me, Or am I living a dream
The twelve-inch single (often written as 12-inch or 12″) is a type of vinyl record with wider groove spacing and shorter playing time with a “single” or a few related sound tracks on each surface. This allows for louder levels to be cut on the disc, which in turn gives a wider dynamic range, better sound quality, commonly used in disco and dance music for DJs in clubs.
You can take what’s mine, you can share my bed, you can go where I go, you can cry when I’m dead
I was blown away the first time I heard “Nazz”. It is a great rockin’ album by the psychedelic rock/pop group Nazz released in 1968. In Philadelphia, the band was founded by guitarist and principal songwriter Todd Rundgren and bassist Carson Van Osten. Their name was derived from the Yardbirds’ song “The Nazz Are Blue” from the 1966 “Roger the Engineer” album.
I watched the 1985 Warner Bros. Pictures comedy/adventure movie “The Goonies” on AMC. The Goon Docks are about to be foreclosed on. The neighborhood kids (Goonies) end up looking for a treasure to save the day. They find a map in the attic and are off on their bicycles and into the hands of an evil Mom who, with her son, had broken her other son out of prison. They also have a secret chained up in the abandoned restaurant they all end up in. It’s kinda like the Stranger Things kids in the Temple of Doom, with some Pirates of the Caribbean mixed in.
