It amuses me when I think about the ring tones The School Girl and I have for each other when we call the other person’s cell.
When I call her it plays Blue Oyster Cult’s “Burnin’ For You“. That’s cute, right?
When she calls me my phone plays Ted Nugent’s “Stranglehold“. Yeah, I wasn’t thinking too much when I set this one up. Hehehehe.
My buddy Chef Stu is talking about some of the great things that are happening to him lately. He mentions meeting a few famous chefs like Bobby Flay and Gordon Ramsey. All I ask is that I get an invite when everyone’s favorite cook, Giada DeLaurentis, starts looking for his culinary assistance.
I just love Italian food, don’t you? If you haven’t been to his place lately (or ever) you can check him out here and over here and also here.
I posted about a week and a half or so ago some of the search engine terms people are using to find my blog. Here are a few more. Beware as some are a little crude.

I think I am going to stop looking at the search terms. These are gettting way worse. All of you sick-o’s out there, please find another blog to read. Thanks a bunch.
I was over at Page 300 and reading about how Darrin took the Rolling Stone Almost Impossible Rock And Roll Quiz. I was proud to get a 43 out of 58 or as the test tells me, an expert score! Let me tell you boys and girls, I am one hell of a guesser.
Here is an example of some of the questions:
What do Afrika Bambaataa and Bruce Springsteen have in common?
Where does Buddy Holly exist on Billy Joel’s Firestart-Denying Historical Timeline?
Place the Marley children in the order of their birth.
Thank goodness these were multiple choice questions. Go give it try and just try to beat my score.
Some of you may know about my love of music. This love was built out of my relationship with my father and my personal friendships. As a young boy I would obtain an education in rock and roll that would run the gamut of Rush and Yes to Led Zeppelin and Bad Company to The Beatles and Pink Floyd. As a teenager my friends and I would listen to groups as diverse as Bon Jovi, Queensryche and Skid Row as well as a lot of other hair metal bands.
Over the years I have developed a respect for all genres of music beyond rock. I am a fan of country & western, R&B and even a bit of rap (not to mention my secret love affair with big band). I went through a stage where I might take out my Slippery When Wet cassette and play my Huey Lewis tape then maybe a little Beastie Boys. I like them all and enjoy the different sounds and all of the talented artists.
One band that may have been left out was the Rolling Stones. I have heard over the years many people call this band the greatest band in the world. I have always taken exception to that since in my father’s house we almost never listened to them. Pops was never a big fan and I guess by default that carried over to me. I will occassionally listen to some of their tracks on the radio and find myself nodding in time but generally they aren’t anything that I jump at when looking to buy CDs.
I have found that songs like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction“, “Wild Horses“, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Start Me Up” are just plain terrible. However, other tunes like “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking“, “Tumbling Dice“, “Gimme Shelter” and “Waiting On A Friend” are exceptionally brilliant.
The other weekend I made myself a mix CD of their stuff and have been listening to it a lot on the road to and from work. After about 3-4 plays through I got bored. Sure I like the bluesy feel of alot of the tracks and out of my love of The Faces I am a big Ronnie Wood fan but the guitar playing of Keith Richards is only a step above the abysmal licks of The Edge and the lyrical stylings of Mick Jagger are strained and mediocre.
Their overall album presentation is usually just plain blah in my opinion as well. I listened to Let It Bleed and Exile On Main St. only to find a small handful of classic tunes mixed into a large pile of junk. I would much rather listen to Revolver and Rubber Soul or Physical Graffiti and Presence than anything put forth by the Stones.
I guess father really does know best…at least in this case. After further review, the Rolling Stones are definitely not in my top 10 best bands of all time. Sorry guys.
Last weekend we visited The Mount and the home of the G-Man family. The ladies went out to eat and for a round of shopping. Green Machine, G-Man and myself stayed home with the rugrats to watch some football and eat pizza and drink beers, etc.
I snapped this photo with my cell phone and for some reason I giggle every time I see G-Man posing like Julia Child or Martha Stewart might. It must be the oven mitts. Oven mitts are comedy!
Well it is that time of year once again. What time? The time when Little Harry gets a little bit older and I notice a few more grey hairs and a few more aches and pains. Sure most of the pains and greys are probably in my head but oh well.
Anyway, happy birthday buddy. It seems so strange that you look so much like a young man here but my mind’s eye will always see you as that little boy. Have a great 14th birthday.
