Loretta Lynn addendum

Posted on October 7, 2022 by Steve

As the cliché goes, “don’t speak ill of the dead,” but I’ve always thought that was bullshit especially when the dead person was a monster (David Koch, Phyllis Schaffley, St. Reagan, etc.). Now Loretta wasn’t a monster or even close. … Continue reading →

RIP Loretta Lynn

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Steve

I’m still not a big fan of Country Music, especially the mass-produced, over polished style nicknamed Nash Vegas as per Webb Wilder. Yet I have respect for Loretta given how she wrote a song called/about “The Pill.” A rather taboo … Continue reading →

Miniature Willie Nelson spotted…

RIP Glen Campbell

Posted on August 12, 2017 by Steve

It was sad to see him pass away earlier this week but I knew it was inevitable from Alzheimer’s. Before he died, Glen did manage a couple more records I scored. Ghost on the Canvas was the most heartfelt finale in 2011 … Continue reading →

The Red-Headed Stranger…Willie Nelson!

Posted on December 23, 2016 by Steve

Of course it’s when Willie was younger, I’m willing to go with the Seventies before he started graying. Willie is also wearing his reading glasses because I couldn’t find a Lego head with the reddish beard in other capacity. Now … Continue reading →
