Dog On A Root

- jim Young "I'll be your baby tonight." - Bob Dylan Trump supporter Kid Rock was recently called to task for inappropriate lyrics from his song “Cool, Daddy Cool.”   The message is pretty clear. “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage, see, Some say that’s statutory but I say it’s mandatory.” I don’t think there’s much room for interpretation there. The context is pretty clear. Of course MAGA, being as unimaginative as they are, were quick to follow up with one of their favourite “oh yeah, what about…” deflections to accuse Bruce Springsteen of inappropriate lyrics from his song “I’m On Fire”. “Hey, little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone? I’ve got a bad desire, Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire.” Keep in mind, the complaints about this last song are coming from the same group of people that objected to radio stations banning, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. Regardless of that there’s a big difference between “Cool, Daddy Cool” and “I’m On Fir...

  Cheese Baked Chicken - jim Young When it comes to the enjoyment of a meal, two of the 5 senses that are used the least are hearing and touch. Hearing Cheese Baked Chicken The crisp sounds of bacon frying or popcorn popping might give some cause to salivate, but other than that, the sounds of food preparation are pretty infrequent. That is, unless you like your steaks so rare you can still hear the cow mooing.  Oh, there might be an “oh damn” upon the chef’s realization that he or she was measuring an ingredient in tablespoons when the recipe called for teaspoons; or the clang of a dropped utensil hitting the floor that might pique your interest as you listen intently to see if it will be followed by the sounds of a running tap to satisfy your curiosity as to whether the utensil was washed prior to being put back into usage.  Hopefully such sounds will not deliver any preconceived notions that might spoil your appetite. Touch Likewise there is little involved with touch...

  The Remarkable Background Of Madame X - jim Young “My record collection probably tells the story of my life better than I could in words.” - Colleen Murphy When I first started my disc jockey business, Simple Motion in the mid 1970s I was using primarily 45 rpm records. They cost about a buck each and for only a few dollars every week I could maintain a collection that always included the current top 10 hits according to the 1050 Chum Chart.  Although I did carry some LPs with me, they were heavy, bulky and too cost prohibitive as most LPs at the time only had 1 popular hit song on it anyway. There were a few nicknames for the adapters required to play a 45 rpm record on a turntable with a small spindle. Some of these nicknames included Spider, 45 rpm Center, Spindle Adapter, 7-inch Adapter and Single Extender.  However in my circle which included several disc jockeys, it was mostly referred to as a 45 rpm adapter. The Record With The Big Hole   RCA came up with th...
