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.)

An open letter to Rob Manfred and Tony Clark


 
“What the (bleep), dudes?” My sentiments exactly.
 
It gets better from here:
 
The negotiations have been going on for more than a month now, and every day brings a new low. Speaking on behalf of baseball fans everywhere, we’re tired of your incessant squabbling, your inane counterproposals and your constant harrumphing.
These negotiations have been a travesty, or in the words of Fielding Mellish from “Bananas,” a “travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.”
 
You both have embarrassed yourselves and the game, even making Trevor Bauer look statesman-like. Even Bud Selig is laughing at you.
