#TunnelOfLoveWell, it ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough
Man meets a woman and they fall in love
But this house is haunted and the ride gets rough
You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
If you want to ride on down, down in through this Tunnel Of Love -
Of course, Freddie and company had a classic of their own the same year (1976) as Zeppein’s “Nobody’s Fault But Mine.” This simply kicks ass and fuckin A right I played it on the fuckin radio back in the day.

A little Four Roses Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey to the curmudgeon level of the glass. I’m trying to take it easy out here on deck, yanno. However, I’m still gonna rock.😉

To show that I still care
Black roses and Hail Marys
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky and call out your name

When it’s Saturday night and the original version of this classic, clocking in at around 3 and a half minutes, just doesn’t cut it and provides a little karaoke opportunity.

Finished sweeping leaves off the deck and front porch in time to see Barack Obama speak at an Ohio rally for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton on MS NOW and it is soooo kickass.

I don’t have him here anymore to help me sweep the deck but I s’pose I should get to it; from 2021 and having helped me sweep leaves off the deck (the first batch, anyway!), Jagger was rewarded with his customary peanut butter and bone as I listened to “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me!” on NPR.

Cartoon by Rick McKee; maybe the warnings about immigrants taking over the country actually had a smidge of merit after all.

Ossoff, who had advised the team in Ghana on security, was crushed by the news of Divela’s death. “I’ve never been more devastated about anything in my professional life,” Ossoff recalled in a recent interview. “It was everything that I hate — corrupt people who were exposed for their corruption who retaliate by killing a journalist.”
But the episode also carried a lesson for Ossoff. Exposing corruption drew attention — and attention was a form of power.- Washington Post

Time to turn the old Zenith on and catch my favorite radio show. In jammies with coffee, of course.

They opened for the Rolling Stones at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on my birthday in October of 1989 and they kicked ASS. And how relevant is the song these days?

Good heavens, it’s Friday. I could do this all night and once upon a time at my first radio station gig in the 80s out yonder in the Nebraska panhandle, I did. With stuff like this. Of course, back then at 19, late night radio air shifts were a different matter. Now, at 62, things are a wee bit different. Thankfully, I still like to rock. You’re welcome.

One from the other guy who did some time with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow before a stint with Black Sabbath and then solo. It kicks ass.

Got his break with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow and then went off to some solo 8os success with stuff like this. While at my first radio gig in the mid 80s, I took the liberty of making sure there was some frequent airplay for this one.
