Ever See A Cat Sleep On The Lid Of A Sealed Bucket?!
NOW YOU HAVE!
That’s Our New Kitten.
His Name Is…
…
…”BANDIT“!!!
Thus Far, He’s Been A Pretty Cool Guy, And A Fine Addition To The Household.
How Likely Are You To See “BANDIT” Involved In Other Random Adventures?!
Well…
…Just Look At This Blog…
…I’d Call It Pretty Damned RANDOM, Wouldn’t Y’all?!
EXACTLY!!
So I’d Say The Chances Of Future Adventures With Mr. “BANDIT” Are Pretty Good.
So Good, In Fact, I’d Likely Betcha A Buck.
I Know…
…I Know…
…Is That A $1 Bill…
…Or A Large Male Deer…
…Right?!
Well…
…We’ll See Which One I Can Get My Hands On First.
I’m Banking On The Deer, Actually.
Hope Y’all Are Having A Decent Friday, My Peeps.
Catch Y’all On The Flip-Side!!!

I Sincerely Just Felt This Was The PERFECT Jam For The Moment, My Peeps.
I’ve Been Listening To So Many Quality Jams This Morning…
…But This One…
“SULTANS OF SWING“
by DIRE STRAITS
…Simply Pushed Itself To The Front Of The Line And Shouted…
"ME ME ME, PICK ME!!!"
And So I Did!!!
“SULTANS OF SWING“
…Honestly…
…Is The Finest Work From DIRE STRAITS.
Period.
“MONEY FOR NOTHING“
&
“WALK OF LIFE“
…Do Run A Close 2ND And 3RD Place, Fo SHO, But It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This One.
I’ve Been A Huge Fan Of DIRE STRAITS My Whole Life, As My Father Simply Loved Them AND He Made Sure I Was Able To Listen To Whatever Music I So Chose.
When In That Situation, You Go With What You Know.
And I Know My Father Has AMAZING Taste In Music.
He Always Has.
He Went To All The Best Concerts.
He Had All The Best Albums.
And He Made Damn Sure I Was Able To Listen To An Amazing Amount Of Quality Jams, Regardless Of Who Was Playing, Or When It Was From.
So DIRE STRAITS Made A Huge Impact On My Young Life.
We Even Had DIRE STRAITS On LASER-DISC!!!
Yeah.
I Know.
I’m Showing My Age A Little.
But That’s Okie The Dokie, Ya Know, Pokey?
SURE YOU DO!!!
SO…
…Here’s Hoping A Little DIRE STRAITS Can Perk-Up Your FRIDAY!!!
Like I Said…
…They’ve Got A Bundle Of Great Tunes…
…But There’s None Better Than…
“SULTANS OF SWING“
…NO DOUBT And FO SHO!!!

Songs That Make Me Smile: “ROAD TO NOWHERE” by TALKING HEADS (1985)
“Well We Know Where We’re Goin’…
…But We Don’t Know…
…Where We’ve Been…
…And We Know What We’re Knowin’…
…But We Can’t Say…
…What We’ve Seen…
…And We’re Not Little Children…
…And We Know…
…What We Want…
…And The Future Is Certain…
…Give Us Time To…
…Work It Out. ..“
…
“ROAD TO NOWHERE” Is Totally Wonderful Song From The 1985 TALKING HEADS Album “LITTLE CREATURES” !!!
…
“…We’re On A Road To Nowhere…
…Come On Inside…
…Takin’ That Ride To Nowhere…
…We’ll Take That Ride…
…I’m Feelin’ Okay This Morning…
…And You Know…
…We’re On A Road To Paradise…
…Here We Go…
…Here We Go…“

I Awoke This Morning In The Mood For Some Quality Jams From…
TALKING HEADS
…My OTHER Favorite Band Of All-Time!!!
If You Thought People Gave Me Odd Looks For Loving DEPECHE MODE…
…Then You Should Have Seen/Heard Them When I’d Pop On My TALKING HEADS Tunes.
I Learned Very VERY Quickly That Most Peeps My Age Simply Didn’t Dig Their Music At All.
And Ya Know What, Kiddies…
…That’s Perfectly Fine With Me.
I’ve ALWAYS Preferred To Look At It In The Lighter-Vein Of…
"Those Fool Don't Know What They're Missing, Fo Flippin' SHO!"
What Do You Think?
Am I Out-Of-Line?
Or, Are We On The Same Page?
I’m Promise I’m Hoping For The Latter!
Now…
…I LOVE Me Some TALKING HEADS…
…And While There Are Many MANY Jams Of Theirs I Truly LOVE And ENJOY…
…This Song…
“ROAD TO NOWHERE“
…Off Of The Album…
“LITTLE CREATURES“
…Just Stood-Out To Me, Today.
Most Folks Who Happen To Be TALKING HEADS Fans Seem To Feel Their Music Really Started Going Downhill Following The Huge Success Of The Live Concert Album…
“STOP MAKING SENSE“
…And To An Extent They’re VERY Correct.
Most Of Their Greatest Jams DID Come-Out Before That Album.
HOWEVER…
…That Doesn’t Mean Everything That Followed It Was A Pure Crap, Ya Know?!
And If We’re Discussing The BEST They Had To Offer AFTER That Album…
“ROAD TO NOWHERE“
…Would Rank At The Very VERY Tippy-Tip-Top, Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!
It’s A Jam That Takes Me Back To My Childhood…
…And Does So WITHOUT Much Effort.
“ROAD TO NOWHERE“
…Was The Very First Song By TALKING HEADS I Had The Pleasure Of Hearing OTHER THAN The Tracks Off Of The “STOP MAKING SENSE” Album.
It Quickly Became A Personal Favorite…
…And It Remains So To This Very Day.
It Was An Instant Hit With Me…
…And With A Whole Helluva Lot Of Other Peeps.
I Remember It Even More-So Because Of It’s Wonderfully ODD/CRAZY Music Video.

That’s A Link To The Video On The Ole YouTube If You’re In The Mood For It.
ANYWAY…
…I Sure Do Hope Y’all Have An Amazing Friday AND Weekend.
The Weather Is AMAZING Outside Right Now…
…So I Think It’s Time For Your’s Truly To Pop His Sneakers On And Go For A Little Walk-About.
Please Take Care Of You For Me, My Peeps.
I Shall Holla At Y’all Later On, I’m Sure!!!
Until Then…
