Monday's Music Moves me; songs that Start with J

It's Monday, it is time for Monday's Music Moves Me, so lets rock, dance, laugh  and enjoy as I pick some songs that fit today's theme.

Well I am gonna start things out with The Rolling Stones "Jumping Jack Flash"

I went live and vintage on that one.

John Cougar Mellencamp "Jack and Diane"

Paul McCartney and Wings "Jet"

Johnny and June Cash "Jackson"

Dolly Parton "Jolene"

Continuing with classic country Hank Williams with "Jambalaya"

 

"Johnny B Goode" may have eaten Jambalaya, give it a go Chuck Berry...

I'll wrap up with a fun one. Rick Springfield "Jessie's Girl"

Thanks for visiting! I will see you soon.

Happy Birthday Paul McCartney!

The Beatles had a song that goes "Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm  sixty-Today Paul McCartney wonders if the same is true at 77.  We are celebrating his birthday today.

Fitting I kick it off with The Beatles "Birthday."  Paul has so many songs with The Beatles and beyond.  He was a "Band on the Run" with Wings.

"Who Cares" from his latest solo release...

I've always liked "Maybe, I'm Amazed"

This carpool karaoke is incredible..

I hope he has a few more birthdays!

Monday's Music Moves Me: Songs with Male Names

Last week was so much fun! I'm back for more.



I'm stealing the above switch, because sometimes it is so true. Sometimes you just have to turn the switch on.

Today's theme is songs with male names. I'm not going to try to get them all. I will highlight a few and encourage you to visit the other participants for more.

"Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner" Warren Zevon

"Uncle John's Band" The Grateful Dead. So many from that band to use Tennessee Jed, Casey Jones, St. Stephen to name a few...

"Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" Paul McCartney and Wings

Led Zeppelin "Boogie with Stu"

Led Zeppelin "Poor Tom"

Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe"

Lynyrd Skynyrd "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" 

 

Eight is enough.."Buddy Holly" Weezer

Stay tunes for tomorrow's Battle of the Bands post for more music!

Happy Birthday Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney turns 73 today so I wish him a Happy Birthday. His fame will always be linked to the super group of his youth the Beatles.  He has had an amazing career with Wings and as a solo artist as well.

I am amazed by his collaborations they are hardly predictable.

Here he performs with Rihanna and Kayne West...

"Say, Say, Say"  with Michael Jackson...

The classic "Ebony and Ivory" with Stevie Wonder..

"My Valentine" featuring jazz artist Diana Krall and guitarist Joe Walsh..

Certainly it would be easy to celebrate his birthday with a bunch of solo hits or a collection spanning his career. However, I thought today the collaborations would be a nice way to celebrate.

Thanks for visiting and I will be back soon!

Thoughts on the Super Bowl

I thought the New England Patriots were going to win before the game. I wanted a better game than last year's Super Bowl. I went to a local barbecue restaurant to watch the game with my daughter who was looking forward to Katy Perry at halftime!

14-14 at the half. My daughter glued to the television during the halftime show! I was hoping for more of Lenny Kravitz. It was a short and sweet show! I think she did a great job.

My daughter watching..



From the kids say the darnedest things file: A Seattle Seahawk player did not make a catch and my daughter says "he has butter fingers like me!" I have never used the term butter fingers around my daughter so I suppose she has picked that up from school. I did find her comment funny and thought she may have a career in the booth.

In the third quarter I thought Seattle might pull away from the Patriots when they took a 24-14 lead. When the Seahawks scored on the drive off of a Tom Brady interception I thought you can't make mistakes like that against the Super Bowl 48 Champions.

However, Tom Brady led New England back. Seattle drove down the field helped by a crazy, circus catch that was more luck than talent.

It ended on an interception when Seattle decided to pass the ball instead of run the ball in from the one. Most people called it dumb play calling. However, if it was a touchdown pass no one would call it dumb. So it was an entertaining finish, the game came down to the last seconds. I had great company with my daughter and plenty of boneless wings. It was not a bad Super Bowl at all!
