Too good to not share: Hendrix plays Machine Gun

Jimi Hendrix once again shows why he was the king of cool in his era.

Music: Angela Petrilli & The Players

Another tasty track by an artist that I hadn't heard of before. I am truly blessed to have stumbled across Angela and her band playing this Neil Young jam from his Crazy Horse days

Music: Bela Fleck

Who said banjo wasn't a serious instrument? Not me!

This Fucking Guy

This Fucking Guy: Bret(bug) Stephens

Sometimes you see a headline that you can't believe was printed. But when you dig in, it is as bad as it sounds. Count on the Times and its Anti-Anti staffer Bret Stephens to beclown themselves.

Music: Sungha Jung plays that which shall never be played

And boy howdy, does he just deliver a beautiful, soulful rendition of this Led Zep classic. It is like I am in high school, with my headphones on, after a deep inhalation of the smoke of wisdom.

Some odd thoughts about the Election

I've been stewing on this for over a month, and it is time to unload. Alas, there is a lot of self reflection we need to do as a society, and I am not sure we are ready for this internalization

Music: Ayla Tesler-Mabe

Someone I enjoyed when I was still on FB, is still making music, making it her own, and I am totally here for it!

Mr. Big: Road to Ruin

Mr. Big was huge, and it propelled Paul Gilbert into stardom, freeing his later work to go wherever his whims would take him. In this, he demonstrates why he is a guitar god.

Music: Epic guitar battle - Eric Gales v. Bonamassa

Thirteen minutes of just amazing lick trading.

Music: Where has Grace Bowers been hiding?!?!?!

Yes, she's that good.

Bad SciFi - or how I spent my Thanksgiving day

Three really shitty movies. I am not sure if I enjoyed them, or if I wasted a holiday. But I am becoming an aficionado of bad cinema. Scratch that, I am addicted to the genre of SciFi trash

Music: Judas Priest

Old school metal from the 1970's, still rocks, and the Priest still delivers all the amperage needed at live shows
