GREAT IDEA: A COVER BAND FOR THE BOYS

-

 


The boys should form a cover band that only plays songs by brothers that fought a lot. 

Oasis. The Kinks. The Beach Boys. The Bee Gees. 

Or just bands that had brothers in them. INXS. Cowboy Junkies. The Stooges. Allman Brothers. AC/DC. Van Halen. Arcade Fire. And so on.

Name?

I'M TELLING MOM.

That Time . . . The Boys Rescued a Toddler.

Hey! It’s been a while. Long story. And a story for another time. SO. I was going to write about something else, but then this happened, so I thought I’d tell you about it.   On Monday night, Connor got back from tennis. Yes, he’s driving. Yes, you’re old. Enough. So, I heard a vehicle and since Becky and Connor would be arriving about the same time, I went to see if they needed help.

Here's a good example: That time my Oz article made the Today Show website. My recollection of the relationship between Whomever Owned Newsarama in 2009 and The Today Show is lost in the mists of time, and I don't care to look it up. But apparently there was some sort of reciprocal agreement that allowed Today to post certain articles on their site. That happened with me a few times, but this one, IIRC, was targeted for attention. With the (then) 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz  film coming up, I did a piece about its influences. Soon after, it went to the House of Roker. Over time, I had a few articles that made that leap, but this remains one of my favorites. It's not dissimilar from the stuff that I still do today for The Saturday Evening Post . At any rate, enjoy. https://www...
