Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I predict in 2020 at least one person will attempt to name their child "Baby Yoda"... Superstitious Pigeons would be a good name for a band... Good advice... When people ask me if I've seen Rise of Skywalker I respond, "No - how does it compare to the original Spy Kids?" just to confuse them... I have really taken this advice to heart... Would have loved to have a collection of Tommy Makem & the Clancy Brothers doing covers of Beatles songs. Especially Norwegian Wood... "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb... Happy New Year!...

Carrickfergus



One piece of Royal Wedding trivia jumped out at me this morning. As part of the ceremony the Queen invested her grandson as Baron Carrickfergus. That of course made me think of the the above song. If you listen to the video make sure you stick around for the bonus joke at the end

Rocky Road to Dublin



Just had to hear this song today

Morning Music

Here's this morning's listening (and watching I guess) music selections.

- Psychedelic Furs - Heartbreak Beat

- Dire Straits - The Man's Too Strong. One of my favorite Dire Straits songs. Too bad you never hear it on the radio.

- Leonard Cohen and U2 - Tower of Song. Awesome lyrics.

- Better than Ezra - Good

- Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem - Brennan on the Moor
