Andy Kaufman was not like you or I...

I'm sorry for the delay in updating this blog. Your humble author is involved in some last minute government deadlines.

Scratch your head whilst watching Andy Kaufman. This stuff is so bizarre.

I'll update shortly, I promise.

One thousand pardons...

I've been dealing with a sick daughter.

Wu ( my youngest), had a scary couple of days at the hospital. She's recovered and back at home ( thank the Lord Buddha). Ergo, my blog has suffered.

Here's an entry from my past.

What a great time to be young. These photos are so great.

I really love Neko Case...

God this is good stuff.

Your humble author is still studying. Enjoy!

If Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck were to fall in the forest, would anyone care?...

I'm just back from visiting my in-laws, so I'm somewhat tired. Ergo, this video about the egregious crap from the American far right will have to entertain you for now.

There is a piece with Canadian contnent coming, I swear.

And now for something completely different...

I'm on my way out the door to my in-laws for the holidays. Here's something that I hope you'll enjoy.

Yes, I know that it's lazy, but 'tis the season for family.

104.1 The Dock...

I live in rural Ontario, Canada. As with most other places in the world, most of our electronic media comes from the cities.Some of it is exceptional, some is passable, but most of it is pre-packaged. What I mean by that is, the announcers do not promote any sense of community, while playing music targeting the "dance" crowd. ( Seriously, how many times must a guy listen to "Poker Face"?)

Just a little over a year ago, our little town became home to "The Dock". It is an FM radio station broadcasting at104.1 on the FM dial. All I can say is : FINALLY someone has a grasp of what an rock station should sound like! The broadcasters talk about local community events while playing all the great music from the 70's, but with a bit of a twist. Unlike most stations that play the crap out of two or three favourite songs from a band, the Dock will play the whole side of an album, a "B" side or some obscure cut. What a great concept.

My favourite announcer is a woman named "Meg" who is part of the morning show team. You have to hear this chick's voice: It sounds like Rod Stewart when he was with "Faces", combined with one of the Power Puff Girls. It's absolutely infectious.

Anyway, for those of you who are reading this in some far off land, I'd encourage you to go on-line and tune in. If you simply put in "104.1 The Dock", you'll get there.For those of you who are north of Toronto, but south of North Bay, take a listen.You'll be pleasantly surprised.
