Thought i won the lottery. Market Basket had day old 12 pk Brown n Serve rolls 2 for a buck. Ma used to have sheets of these at Thanksgiving. When I got to the checkout, I realized I didn't have the winning ticket.
We didn't have butter growing up, Pop bought "Oleo". Spent half an hour looking for some, couldn't find it.
Holidays are rough. Doctor told me I have to lose ten pounds. I told him I wanted another opinion, He said "OK. Your ugly too". (Copyright@ Rodney Dangerfield)

One of my all-time favorites.
But I tracked back to it after purchasing "Mars Needs Guitars!" in '85 after "Death Defying" charmed the pants off of me upon hearing on BCN (sic).
I like a lot of stuff on 1987's Blow Your Cool," but that was their last gasp for me.
If pressed, I would select "MNG!" as my favorite Gurus album.
Will post that or those soon,
Blowfish
Count down ...

Had the LP of the Ringo album. Loved it. If I remember, the LP had a booklet in it with lyrics for each song and a drawing that went along with it. Oh My My, good song.
, thank you,
Isn't that sweet. Thank you.
With apologies to Susan,
Huzzahs to a shamefully underated popular songwriter and scintillating 70s live act, the Motor City's own Bob Seger,
And I'll even throw in a bit of Mitch Ryder with his '60s Detroit Wheels and subsequent, improbable cover of the Prince tune"When You Were Mine,"
That ought to hold you for a while.
Again, thanks for the Detroit love.
The Lions are 11-1 and may find themselves in the Superbowl.
Truely, the end is nigh,
The Thrill of Defeat
My life has been shaped by watching the Detroit Lions lose. Who will I be if they start winning?

Each of the dismembered Beatles chipped in a song for "Ringo" (1973),
Ringo (album) - Wikipedia
Paul, "Six O'Clock;" John provides the perfect foil for Ringo, the Muhammad Ali inspired "I'm the Greatest,"
I hesitate to use the word pathos when discussing Ringo's work, but Harrison's contribution is handled beautifully. Justly earning hit single status, too,
Not ONE Motown song??
I very much appreciate Motown and what Bsrry Gordy did for black music in general, and Detroit in particular.
Many, many great, great songwriters, producers, and performers. Often, all three at once.
I like a lot of those recordings, but to these ears anyway, much of it is too polished and palatable in service of appealing to white listeners.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Yet my preference has always been for the stuff coming out of Muscle Shoals, Atlantic Records, Chess & Stax/Volt.
I refer to the former, especially, as "Dirt underneath the fingernails music."
I love pop confections as much or more than most, but there's a "realness" to soul music (as there is to gospel, country & western, roots music, blues, folk, and even funk) that stirs something deep inside me.
Aretha. James Brown. Wilson Pickett. Sam & Dave. Albert King. Marvin Gaye. Booker T and the MGs, etc.
And of course Stevie.
Chocolate and vanilla.
You can like both.
I'm not a sweets person, but you get the drift.
