What do Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dionne Warwick and rock & roll have in common?

 Nothing. Not a single fucking thing. And yet they were inducted in to the RRHOF yesterday...  


CLEVELAND (AP) — Hollywood stars Julia Roberts and Zendaya (?) bookended Saturday’s inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, giving a little stardust to an 'eclectic lineup' that included pop icon Cher, heavy metal’s Ozzy Osbourne, hip-hop soul queen Mary J. Blige, rockers Foreigner and 83-year-old soul icon Dionne Warwick.
It was a five-hour-plus show that also honored hip-hop trailblazers A Tribe Called Quest, punk pioneers the MC5, the effortless dance music of Kool & the Gang, the soft rock of Foreigner, the beach bum tunes of Jimmy Buffett and the jam band fusion of Dave Matthews Band.
 
Kick out the jams, motherfucker...

It's also the kid from Oklahoma's birthday. 
He didn't make it to 71. 
His most famous quote was 'If I'da known I was gonna 
live this long, I'da taken better care of myself'...

I dated an Irish girl for a very short time back when I was about 21 or so - right after I got out of the Army. Anyway, she invites me over for dinner one night and when I get there I spot that can and that box in the garbage in her kitchen. I wonder what ever happened to her. I never saw her again...

I gotta believe it's true. They're usually the lowest price for gas in their area, the stores are clean and well laid out, and sandwiches are a good deal and well made - considering - what and where they are. Did you know Wawa is a family-run, privately held company? Must be nice...

As relevant today as it was 60 years ago...

New research has laid bare how notorious Venezuelan super gang Tren de Aragua's criminal tentacles have spread across America. Tren de Aragua is a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela. It is believed to have over 5,000 members. Members of the violent migrant gang TdA have crept into the US hidden among the one million Venezuelan migrants who have entered the country during the Biden administration. Arrest data shared with DailyMail.com has now revealed that the tattooed gangsters are operating in even more US cities than originally feared . There's more info on this here.

  1. Happy birthday, 1953 was a good year, I think. I’m an October 1 baby.

  2. Happy Birthday, ya pup. I've got almost a year on you.

    And when the decision to put the RRHoF in Cleveland instead of Memphis, I knew inductions like this (and prior) year's were inevitable.

  4. With regard to your 71st birthday, you are six & 1/2 years younger than me. You just wait until you are 3/4 of a century old!!!

  5. MM grew up and played ball just south of here. They have a statue of him at the Commerce, OK. ball field, and a marker at the Baxter Springs (Kansas) ball field marking the distance of one of his hits. Local legend in these parts. I worked with men (when I was young) that worked with MM in the lead and zinc mines back in the day.

  6. “Rock and Roll” hall of fame you say. When is AC/DC going to be inducted into the the hip hop hall of fame? White people can’t have shit for themselves

  7. There is no universe where Wawa beats Buckees. Talk about a rigged election.

  8. Congratulations, on not getting killed or dying from the millions of life enders out there. From a selfish point of view, I'd like you to keep blogging while I'm still alive. I'm only 2 AND A HALF years older than you, so hang in there. Happy birthday, glad the hurry cane didn't hurt too much.
