It's Still Rock and Roll To Me | Tragic Comedy

Recent conversation with Brenda:

me: I heard a song on the radio on the ride home today and found myself returning to the 70's.

Brenda: Like you ever left.

me: Be that as it may, I was bobbing my head to Journey's Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin'.

Brenda: And that's bad because...

me: Perhaps you didn't hear me - It was Journey! I'm a little upset about it. I may have to kick my own ass.

Brenda: I like Journey. My friends like Journey.

me: That's exactly my point. You and your friends view .38 Special, Air Supply, and Bad Company as if those guys rock.

Brenda: Air Supply doesn't rock but Bad Company was badass.

me: That's why you're not allowed to choose the radio station in the car.

Dumb Celebrity Quotes

Anyone can say something stupid every once in a while, of course. But the celebrities featured on this website sure seem to make a habit of it. Only one quote per customer but they probably make up the usual suspects in the dumb quote hall of shame. Go »

Tattooing's Last Frontier

Aside from internal organs, there doesn't seem to have been any body part un-tattooed except for the eyeball. Until now. Colored contact lenses weren't good enough for this guy and I really expect him to be the first guy with a spleen tattoo. Go »

Just As I Suspected...

A panel of experts (a group of listeners to Britain's BBC 6) have determined the worst duet in history. Obviously this group has no credentials or necessarily any credibility and history is such a long time. But that's a pretty good vote if schmaltz makes a song bad. Go »

Where's the Luxury?

I'm sitting in a luxury suite at FedEx Field watching the Wahington Redskins play haplessly against the San Francisco 49ers. (Redskins missed FG) There's more cheering happening for SF than Washington which is typical lately. Dee Fence! Go »

My Favorite Memory

Yesterday, we held the memorial service for my father-in-law. There were approximately 100 people attending and afterward about 1/3 gathered at his home for a small meal and sharing remembrances. I chose to share my memory of the time, twenty years ago, when I asked him for his blessing for my planned proposal to Brenda, his eldest daughter. Go »
