I know that many see this song and video about “Western excesses” but when I first heard the song, I did not have the video to watch at the same time and heard it differently. Perhaps that is one of the great things about music; we can all have our own interpretations and no one …
Yes, it’s a week into the new year of 2016, and I’ve been quite remiss in not updating this blog over the past year! Time seems to fly by even more quickly and with so much going on in life, there’s not a lot left over for blogging. It’s nice to see 2015 in the …
One of the things about my son David that I am so happy about is his love of music. I had always hoped he would enjoy music and also realize that having an interest in a wide genre would give him an appreciation for many musical styles, composers, artists and musicians. And with that in …
Readers of the previous rendition of my blog, “Ianism,” will know that about five years ago (maybe a bit more than that), I wrote about getting some mp3’s from my eldest son, Alex. At that time, I was not really expecting to hear anything that I’d probably want to listen to over and over, if …
I have just discovered that Leonard Cohen has a new CD out today. It is called “Old Ideas.” Mr. Cohen is one of my favorite music artists and I own almost all of his albums, I do believe. I have been a fan of his for years (decades is more like it). I did manage …
Good song, good performanace… Yes.. The Who. More of my most favourite band. Take it or leave it as you will. Can’t wait for Roger and Pete to come back to Toronto. Again.

Carla Rota’s favorite story. I found it humorous. And yes, I love Freddy Mercury. But not in “that” way. If it were me, I’d probably have said something like, “Hey Freddie, wanna go stand in a river and wave one of my sticks around?” But then I have some other thoughts, funny to me. First, …
So I’m in a night mode, getting myself ready for sleep mode – which might happen soon, and am thinking about Rock The Park 2008. I still have a whole lot of pictures as well as comments when I get around to making them, in regard to Rock The Park 2007 that I’ve not already …
Best. Concert. Ever. At least that I’ve attended. Whoooooo Are Youuuu? Represent – who managed to make it to the Toronto Who Concert, December 4, 2006? It was way better than I even expected. Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend, tonight, were at top form – although Daltry did have a bit of a raspy voice …
