I admit it. This blog is NOT consistent. What it is keeps changing. Right now, it's pretty much a place where I keep photos, videos, and links to websites that interest me. Before that, I wrote a few blogs myself and still do once in a blue moon. But most of the stuff before the links are just reprints of articles I found interesting. Email me at OlderMusicGeek(at)yahoo(dot)com.

MY LIFE: My daughter knows what I like!
Daughter from downstairs: "Guess who is a judge on 'So You Think You Can Dance'?"
Me: "Who?"
Daughter: "Zooey Deschanel!"
Me: "Oh cool!"

Daughter to my girlfriend who also downstairs: "If it was Sigourney Weaver, he'd already be down here!"
Me: "Who?"
Daughter: "Zooey Deschanel!"
Me: "Oh cool!"

POLITICS: LZ Granderson: The secret gay agenda
I'm sure you've heard a lot about the gay agenda, but may not know what's in it. Here's what you do: Download a copy of the United States Constitution, read it. Everything the LGBT community wants is in there.

This playlist features songs that remind me of my daughter. It's also on Spotify.
