Bob Dylan "Simple Twist Of Fate

I always argue with my friends about who’s a better songwriter. They say Lennon and McCartney, I say Dylan. I know it’s a matter of taste but more singers sing Dylan songs then Beatle songs.

Frank Zappa Quote

“Rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, in order to provide articles for people who can’t read.”

Ponzi Scheme

I was talking to a couple of people the other day about Social Security. They all said the same thing, “it’s a ponzi scheme.” So I asked them what a ponzi scheme was. Either they gave me the wrong answer or they didn’t know. It just goes to show that people repeat what they hear on TV.

Superman Red, Superman Blue

 
I had this comic. When all my other comics were gone, I saved this one. Don’t ask me what happened to it. I went to look for it one day and it was gone.
Superman finally had enough. He wants to retire. He wants to sit on the couch and watch baseball all day. He’s a big Yankee fan. Remember Bucky Dent’s Home Run. Don’t ask which one cause there was only one that counted. When the ball was in the air, all of a sudden it took off and went over the fence. Clark was in the stands for that game, exhaled and then ball went over the fence.
Superman decides to fix the world. He wants it so he never has to work again. He splits himself into two, Superman Red and Superman Blue. Ones a Republican and one’s a Democrat. They argue all the time and nothing gets done. No, what really happens is the two of them fix everything that’s wrong in the world.

 

When every thing is done, Blue marries Lana Lang and Red marries Lois Lane and moves to Kandor. This was back in the day when comic books looked like comics. They had great artwork and look at all that dialog. It wasn’t just looking at the pictures, there was a storyline there.

“She’s A Lady”

Can you imagine this song being released now.
“She’s the kind they’d like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well she always knows her place.”
Women group would be up in arms. Equal rights went right out the window with this song. (lol) But since it’s Tom Jones, he could get away with it.



Well she’s all you’d ever want,
She’s the kind they’d like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well she always knows her place.
She’s got style, she’s got grace, She’s a winner.
She’s a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, She’s a Lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
Well she’s never in the way
Always something nice to say, Oh what a blessing.
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she’s okay alone, and there’s no messing.
She’s a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She’s a lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
Well she never asks for very much and I don’t refuse her.
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her.
What she’s got is hard to find, and I don’t want to lose her
Help me build a mountain from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey.
Well she knows what I’m about,
She can take what I dish out, and that’s not easy,
Well she knows me through and through,
She knows just what to do, and how to please me.
She’s a lady. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She’s a lady.
Talkin’ about that little lady and the lady is mine.
Yeah yeah yeah She’s a Lady
Listen to me baby, She’s a Lady
Whoa whoa whoa, She’s a Lady
And the Lady is mine
Yeah yeah yeah She’s a Lady
Talkin about this little lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa and the lady is mine
Yeah yeah She’s a Lady
And the Lady is mine.

I wonder what Cal Schenkel thinks of me doing the Zappa covers on the computer?

Dunkin’ Donuts

 I was at Dunkin’ Donuts the other day and saw something funny. Not only was it funny I see it a lot.
 Somebody will order a dozen donuts. They’ll tell the person behind the counter what types of donuts they want. When they get up to the twelfth doughnut, they can’t make up their mind. They just stare at the doughnuts and it takes them a minute to pick the last one.
