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

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

Yanks Literally Turning Their Fortunes Around
The Yankees are literally turning their fortunes around from where they were a year ago. Last night’s come from behind 8-6 victory over the Blue Jays saw them improve to 17-9 in 2017. A year ago at this it was the complete opposite with New York off to a 9-17 start. They find themselves a … Read More
Thoughts: Greg Bird Lands On DL
The Yankees placed first basemen Greg Bird on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a bruised right ankle. The 24-year old has been (mostly) playing on the sore ankle since fouling a ball off it during a spring training game in late March. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Bird had a MRI in New York … Read More
