Music Monday— Cheap Trick

-
So, a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was going to see Rod Stewart in August.

That was before coronavirus, of course.  So many things put on hold ... Though I’m hoping we will be back to normal by summertime.

So far Rod hasn’t canceled.  But who knows?

Assuming there’s a tour, guess who is touring with Rod Stewart?

Yeah, it’s a double bill.

Here are my favorites from Cheap Trick.












And their best --

    Very nice songs. "The Flame" by Cheap Trick was on my list for great forgotten 80's songs.

    Robin,

    A lot can happen between now and August. Let's hope life gets back to normal by that time. I think regardless of when states begin to roll open businesses that we need to use common sense and if people are afraid about catching or spreading the virus then wear masks/gloves, minimize social contact, keep the 6-foot distance whenever possible, frequent hand washings, and keeping track of one's temp. There's so many things we can do keep this thing at bay but everyone needs to be responsible. There are those that won't be and aren't even while in lock down or stay at home mode. I'm not sure what terminology is being used where but you get the idea. I hope things are going well with you and yours. I know you mentioned the virus has touched many that you know. Keeping those prayers going. Great mewsic to get ya in the mood for a new week. Have a boogietastic day, my friend!! xx

    Cheap Trick is an interesting band: half are rock & rollers, the other half are crazy, but they make great music, and Rick Nielsen is a fantastic guitarist and quite a collector. I guess his son is drumming for them now, at least on the road. Bun E. Carlos was unique... Good choices!

    I haven't seen as many bands in concert as you have, Songbird, but I did see Cheap Trick at Binghamton's Spiediefest a forever age ago, and they ROCKED. Actually (I just looked it up) it was 2013. My personal favorite of their songs is Dream Police. Maybe I'm in the minority but I think it's the best of many really good songs.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
