Wow, this song is dark! I should also mention that it was written by both a Texan and a Dallasite so it’s from my part of the world!
I like Postmodern Jukebox. Too bad about grandma.
Enjoy!

From Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride….
This holiday season, this message from Frank Stallone resonates even more than ever.
Enjoy!
Flash Gordon wasn’t the only thing we talked about at #FridayNightFlix. We also talked about Simon & Simon and how it had one of the greatest theme songs of the 80s.
Check it out for yourself:
On Friday night, I was at the #FridayNightFlix live tweet hosted by our very own Lisa Marie and the conversation turned to Flash Gordon and one of the best movie soundtracks of the 80s. Even if you’re not a fan of the movie, you have to admit that the theme song rocks.
For today’s music video of the day, here is Queen performing Flash. Welcome back to 1980!
Enjoy!
You might recognize today’s song of the day from the opening credits of Boardwalk Empire, the Martin Scorsese-produced show that starred Steve Buscemi, who is celebrating a birthday today.
It’s just a wonderful piece of music.
Well, we all know this song, don’t we?
Apparently, this song was inspired by a music industry cocktail party that the band attended. It was also apparently inspired by Bob Dylan’s feelings towards the industry, though Dylan was not involved in recording or performing the song.
As for the video, what’s interesting is how literally it interprets the song. Seriously, the poor guy really is stuck in the middle and he really does have clowns and jokers to either side of him!
Nobody loses an ear in this video. That would come later….
It’s Steve Buscemi’s birthday so it just feels like the right time to share something from one of his best films.
Enjoy!

Did y’all know that actor James Woods has completed two very personal musical albums in the last couple of years? First, he wrote nine songs for the 2024 album “Hear the Thunder Crack.” This album is described as… The Life of James Woods, as sung by Shooter Jennings. His latest album, “Tombstone Opera” just dropped within the last month! I recently purchased it and will be listening to it over the holiday season. Once again, Woods wrote all the lyrics, and the primary vocals are by a gentleman named Bob Wayne. I’ve listened to a couple of the songs, and they are very good! I think these are very interesting albums, and they certainly give us insight into Woods in a way that no role in a movie ever could.
I thought I’d share the song “Cafe Central” with you today, mainly because of its references to the classic Sergio Leone film ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA (1984), a film I know many of you enjoy!
Today’s song of the day feels appropriate for both the season and the fact that Frank Sinatra was born 110 years ago today.
Blake Lewis totally should have won American Idol. (I voted for him and cried when he lost!) But at least he can still win our hearts with this interpretation of a classic Christmas carol!
Enjoy!
