I really considered opening this week with a different album and kind of easing into it, but I decided "nah, open with a bang."

Ah finally that God forsaken year 2020 has come to an end and, I hate to break it to you, now that it's 2021 nothing has actually changed yet. We're still the same people, circumstances still kinda suck, and we all still like the same music. The problem with expanding your taste in music, as... Continue Reading →

The second most successful soundtrack... Continue Reading →

Wowee what a transition. I mean honestly, yesterday's album was a Johnny Cash record, and the first song on today's record is a duet between Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, it doesn't get much better than that folks. Today's album, Bob Dylan's Country-Folk-Rock effort from 1969 titled Nashville Skyline is far from Dylan's finest work,... Continue Reading →

We kick off our road trip with a stop at a prison in Sacramento Country CA, which is not the way that you might usually want to start a vacation.
