Rambling Rhoads: 2023-01-22

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.)

Tom Brady, Don’t Quit!

“You don’t realize how good you have it. Out here, when somebody on a plane elbows me in the kidney to shoehorn ahead of me so he can get to his seat one second faster, I don’t have five linemen the size of Sub-Zero freezers who will fling him to the ground and step on his larynx.”
