    Best American Bands

    Yes…I would have to say my favorites…it’s all subjective and there are no “wrong” answers… CSNY doesn’t make my cut because Neil was born in Canada. Mountain is up there. I don’t consider JH EXP to be “American” as the band was 2/3 English. But, of course, Hendrix is way up there…probably my...

    Brian Setzer:Physically Unable to Play Guitar Anymore

    https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/guitarists/brian-setzer-autoimmune-disease-diagnosis A shame. Brian is a great player and a great guy. I remember first seeing him playing a Strat at Max’s Kansas City in the late 1970’s with his band The Bloodless Pharaohs. Brian has always been an...

    Cool ? Not Cool ?

    Glad you let us know that you are going to stay away from such discussions even though no particular ethos or political opinion was voiced in any of the posts. However, I am glad that you informed us about how wonderful NZ is “now” then it was “then.” With the other government. But of course...

    Cool ? Not Cool ?

    I disagree. I believe it is the artist’s responsibility to address political and social issues through their art and platform. It is up to us to form our own opinions. A true artist informs through their art. Just look at Picasso’s “Guernica”, listen to the music of Joan Baez or The Clash, or...

    TV Financial Talking Heads: Consistently Wrong!

    Ive been hearing about the “inevitable” upcoming recession for two years now. Inflation is coming down and even the biggest pessimists and naysayers are now admitting the distinct possibility that there will not be a recession in the near future. That being said, it remains prudent to be...

    TV Financial Talking Heads: Consistently Wrong!

    I have owned my own business. Unfortunately. I had to deal with customers! I will never again go near owning, working or investing in retail. Too much of a nightmare! Seriously…has Quantumscape turned a penny in profit yet? Im too old school to invest in a speculative start up. I am keeping an...

    TV Financial Talking Heads: Consistently Wrong!

    Experts have been predicting “recession” at any minute now for the last two years plus. Finally, there are voices that are admitting that there is a very good chance there will not be a recession in the immediate future. Another strong day in the stock market….8 in a row. And my 5.25% CD is...
