I like to think of myself as a blues guitarist version of Jack Hodgins.

So you like to be left for dead somewhere in a southwest desert by Billy Gibbons after you (Jack Hodgins) broke it off with his daughter Angela? You know Billy was/is a Peter Green fan, how great is that?

Oh, of course! But, if you'd seen the last season's ending episode, Jack & Angela ride off into the sunset together.

Just listen to:

Brown Sugar
Just Got Back From Baby's
Blue Jean Blues
Asleep In The Desert (basically a Tex-Mex version of "Oh Well, Part 2")

Any of those it would hard to distinguish Rev Willy from Peter Green's playing.

I tried to watch "Bones" last season without the background of the previous seasons (since "Fringe" now follows "Bones", a show I've watched since the very first ep.). Without the backstory of Dr. T. Brennan, the show doesn't make sense even in season five.

Now that I've seen the previous four seasons', I understand everything. I've only seen a handful of eps. from season five, I will gladly buy season five on DVD in October. I'm aware of Jack and Angela are back together. At least we haven't seen the last of Mr. Gibbons on "Bones".



What makes this show work is that the writers know if Bones, and Booth actually "hook up" it's completely over. If anyone remembers "Moonlighting", or "Cheers", you kill the tension, and the fans get bored. I think the two will eventually become a couple, when the writers, and producers decide to end the show.

Default July, 2010

I have been thinking a lot today about Fleetwood Mac, rather Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and more specifically Danny Kirwan, who along with Scott Walker (more on this to come soon!) is my current vintage crush. I'm such a sucker for a pair of baby blues poking out from under a floppy fringe. Danny is said to have been an emotional, quite neurotic young man at the time, and was so inspired when playing it would bring him to tears. Forget the weeping though, I do like a chap in a nice tight sweater! I wish I could have found some better pics...

Danny's story is though a rather sad one, after leaving the band in the early 70s and releasing a couple of solo albums he sadly succumbed to the all to familiar downward spiral of alcoholism and has spent the last 30 odd years living in homeless shelters, he was last tracked down a few years ago to a specialist alcoholics clinic in South London.

Like Crying is my favourite song of his and it's been in my head all day, and pretty much sums up how I have been feeling today. I usually feel super depressed on my birthday but this year I was rather cheerful for this first time in years, I think actually the b'day blues have been delayed a week and they've really got to me today.

Review of the Fleetwood Mac CD Then Play On

The exceptionally talented Rock group Fleetwood Mac have released their CD entitled Then Play On. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Fleetwood Mac fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Then Play On their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Then Play On. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

If you’re a Fleetwood Mac fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of lname, or even Rock to know is good. It’s just good music. Period.

While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 1 – Coming Your Way, track 7 – Although The Sun Is Shining, and track 13 – Before The Beginning.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 13 – Before The Beginning. Great track!
