Favorite 100 Songs of the 80s: (#72) The Police – Every Breath You Take
In the interest of full disclosure I wasn’t crazy about this song when it first came out in 1983. I was merely 12 sans a firm grasp of what the song was about, and certainly didn’t know it’d go on to become the 80s stalker anthem.. I suppose that’s partially due to a lack of a … Read More

If you drafted any of these Yankees and/or snagged them off the waiver wire early in the season, odds are you’re probably doing very well in your fantasy baseball league.

Favorite 100 Songs of the 80s: (#73) Musical Youth – Pass The Dutchie
I guess “Pass The Dutchie” was my informal introduction to world of smoking the funny stuff. At 11-years old I was hardly an expert on lyrical song meanings (nor am I now), but I strongly recall great debate on what this tune was really about. The facts are that a “Dutchie” is a Jamaican cooking … Read More

Favorite 100 Songs of the 80s: (#74) Twisted Sister – We’re Not Gonna Take It
If nothing else, “We’re Not Going To Take It” was far and away my preferred anti-authority song of the 80s. Whether it was my father, a neighborhood bully, bothersome math teacher or grammar school principal whose hobbies included taking a paddle to my ass, this mantra reminded my 13-year old self that I wasn’t going … Read More
Disney Movie Review: Tarzan (1999)
I had shitty parents. That’s not factually true, but I blame them for many of my flaws because it’s an easier cop out. One is never being forced to watch any Disney movies as a kid. As far back as I can remember all I was concerned about was sports, music and WWF wrestling. In … Read More
RETRO Raw Recap (3/11/1996): Before They Were Cornerstones
For no particular rhyme or reason other than being fun for me to do and hopefully you to read, I’ve decided to occasionally recap old WWE Monday Night Raw shows (Smackdown will be a future project). At least for me, it’s cool to recreate many Monday nights I evidently didn’t recall as easily as I … Read More
