Looking for some tips on what to read, what to watch, and what to listen to? We've got 'em right here.
When it comes to books, I love reading the old fashioned way--print books. But I recently broke down and bought a kindle so I could download books without having to go out as often. One of the first I read was "Fifty In Reverse" by Bill Flanagan. It's a super-short novel about a 65 year old former radio guy, who now works for a music streaming service. He surprisingly wakes up as his 15-year old self in 1970. He's delighted to see his parents again, but he's anxious to get back to his "future" family. He thinks taking off all his clothes in algebra class might do the trick. Nope! I loved all the musical references in the book--and I am a sucker for time travel fiction so I really enjoyed this one!
Jonathan Suttin: Last week I suggested a great kids show on Disney Plus. These week I'm going in a different direction. A great show for parents after you finally get the kids to sleep. It's a sitcom called I'm Sorry. It's seems like the typical husband/wife with a little kid story, but the very opening scene of the show will make you realize this is not Modern Family. It's raunchy, but very funny.
Jesse Garon: With the news of Bob Dylan selling his complete catalog to Universal I decided to go back and listen to one of my favorite albums. I recommend revisiting 'Blood On The Tracks'. By far his best release of the 70's and one of the greatest of his career. From the opening song "Tangled Up In Blue" to "Buckets of Rain" -- it is perfect. It is easy to see why it made into the top 10 of Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All-time!!
Amber Star: Earlier in the week I “discovered” TikTok and I can’t stop now! This grumpy dog is my new obsession. I hope this isn’t my new winter life!
