As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

Notable Quotes #3


Who says nobody in the government has a sense of humor?

Yesterday the Post ran an Associated Press story about an Oregon diaper company reaching a settlement with the FTC of charges that their claims of environmental benefits for their products were misleading.

The article contains the following quote from Jessica Rich, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection: “The claims for these diapers just didn’t pass our smell test.”
