a wonderful band that formed in the mid 80s somewhere in Massachusetts. They practically played 'grunge' and 'alternative' before those terms became a vogue around 1991. Members are J Mascis on guitar and most of the vocals, Lou Barlow on bass and Murph on drums (with images of sunshine faces on the bass drum heads). All their albums are pretty good, 'Green Mind' from 1992 recently got a reissue with bonus tracks. While many other alternative bands have imploded or bit the dust, Dinosaur Jr. is still around and if anything is to be said, they're even better now than ever before.
1. In 2018 I saw Dinosaur Jr. at a beerfest in Marengo, Ohio and it brought me back to my college days. After everything that's come and gone, musically and otherwise - it's good to see these troopers still in the game. J Mascis now has long white hair, a long white beard and he looks like a wise man. He still sings 'softly' and his guitar playing is fierce and LOUD. And their recent CDs are better than previous. They're better than ever.
2. in 2021 during lockdown Dinosaur Jr. released a new CD, 'Sweep It Into Space'. It's very good. They made a few videos for it, but the pandemic kept them from touring to promote it. So they put on a free internet show for the NPR web page, playing in an empty ballroom with just a cinematographer. On the stage they had namesake toys - inflatable dinosaur toys of several species, Muppet dolls (like Animal and Ernie), a John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album, a Rolling Stones 8-track tape and other props on the stage and for 45 minutes they rocked the house (sans audience). They were as electric and stellar as when I saw them 3 years before and they made my day. Thanks, guys. Now let's stay safe for the better times to come.

another stupid hack New Age "composer" who wants to be a pianist and synthesizer whiz who writes bloated, pompous artsy-fartsy puke that is nothing more than elevator muzak for the modern age we live in. This wretched garbage called "New Age" is just corporate modern-day elevator music consisting of overblown "classical" pretension with just enough of a post-Pink Floyd touch to make it more updated. Utterly disposable. There is much better instrumental music around. Hell, Pink Floyd has done far better instrumentals. Check them out, they kick Yawn-ee's ass any day.
1. in college, many women I knew there swore up and down about the merits of the music of Yanni. I listened to the suggestions of my friends and opened my musical horizons, listening beyond the box. Roxy Music is awesome, Nick Lowe is a witty rockin' dude, and I just couldn't get into Harry Connick, Jr. at all. Well, I saw a PBS special that featured Yanni live at home in Greece and man did it ever ess you cee kay. Totally poofy trash.
2. I was visiting a friend's house shortly after he got married. He slipped in a Yanni disc and read off some yucky love "lyrics" that he wrote to the music. I was laying on a bed hearing it all, and it was all Barf City. The lyrics were cliched and sickening to the max, and the "music" - well, it just plain sucked big time. The only word that could accurately describe it all was "godawful". It was one of those things that never should've been done. Yeeeccchhh.

1. when you're ravenous, you're so darn hungry and you want to eat NOW!
2. a condition when you are in the mood for sex and you have to have it NOW! Duran Duran had a HUGE hit in early 1983 with a song titled with this name. MTV showed its video A LOT and Duranmania was on, on, ON.

1. My wife Erica had a delicious spaghetti dinner waiting for me when I came home. She knew I was hungry like the wolf.
2. I was on the main Reno casino strip and I was hungry like the wolf. I met Becky and Michelle and we went to my hotel room at the Circus Circus.
3. "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Rio", "Save a Prayer" and "New Religion" are from the classic "Rio" album by Duran Duran. The videos for "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Save a Prayer" were filmed in Sri Lanka shortly before all hell broke loose and its long civil war erupted.
4. AHWOOOOOO!

the most overrated blockbuster movie of all time. Starring Leonard DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, it's about two lovers on the ill-fated maiden voyage of the British ocean liner of the same name. It's just a mushy-gushy romance and disaster flick that drags on for 4 fucking hours or so, without any of the constant excitement of Dancing With Wolves, which also lasts 4 hours. Oh sure, you can look at Kate Winslet, but the movie is boring to the max.
The Titantic soundtrack is a total hunk of trash. It's got Celine Dion on it - doesn't that tell you enough?

a loudmouth obnoxious clown featured on a local TV show on the cool cartoon strip and TV Saturday morning series Garfield. Garfield the fat cat, on his cartoon show hosts the feature "Screaming With Binky", where Binky is known to come up behind you and scream "HEYYYYY KID!!!!" or something like that, just to startle you. He comes up to a kid building a sand castle and screams at him, demolishing the sand castle. He comes up behind a diamond cutter, screams at him, disrupting his concentration and making him mess up his work. Garfield, ever so sarcastic, finds Binky annoying.
Garfield switches on the tube because it's time to watch the TV show hosted by the obnoxious Binky the Clown.

Fascism has appeared in many nations over the past 80-odd years. Look up the histories of Germany, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Spain, Zaire, South Africa, Greece and other countries that have had fascist governments or do today.
Quote:
When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.
