Mr. King

When I was a kid (I'm an Old Person), this song was originally in the pantheon of DEVIL MUSIC. The thing with "Head" is, it's too hard to explain in a soundbite. Also - once you hear the convoluted "plot" of the song, you're obviously going to seek the song out. Spoiler - the song rules.

I believe this will be considered one of the masterpieces of our age.

Yesssss.

There are several record albums (I'm old) that feel like books I haven't finished yet, if you know what I mean. Ornette Coleman's "Dancing in Your Head". I know a lot of the turns from at least the first half of the Koln Concert, but good lord. OK! Sorry...

Nobody uses the phrase "oppo taco". Come on. Might try to pitch MLB on having me make their between-iinning slop next season. Let me know if you've got a guy over there! ok.

TONIGHT.

I am prepared to root for the Chicago White Sox for maybe the first time in my life. I don't want to get too deep into it, but I distinctly remember holding my head in my hands, saying it was a nightmare when they won the WS. This feels like hope for the future of humanity. Thank you.

I'm doing a Reddit AMA today at 4pm EST in r/baseball: Feel free to stop by with any burning fake baseball questions! www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s...

LET'S GOOOOO! Tonight's contest is sponsored by our friends at Glaciers End - makers of Berryboo Bomber hot sauce - the Official Hot Sauce of the Northwoods Baseball Radio Network. (glaciersend.com)

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

This dude (Phillies auction winner to call an inning - Lewis Kalb) is outstanding. Give him a contract! youtu.be/fx-Q-SuF8cI?...

Been on a Pawn Stars highlights jawn lately. I'm a mess. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

EP 052 - TONIGHT!

I went to see the movie "Weiner-Dog" with Mrs. King a few years ago. She dumped a half-empty tub of popcorn over my head when I laughed at a terrible thing that happened near the end of that movie. No spoilers!

I always love Milwaukee. It's like the "Canada of Chicago"! It's right up the road, it rules, the Milwaukee Art Museum is great, etc.! Finally tried The Vanguard, and good lord those are some great sausages. Hats off to the great city of Milwaukee, USA!

If you watch the PMRC hearings with John Denver, Zappa, and Dee Snider, it might occur to you that Al Gore is a world-class dummy! Still would have been better than GWB! #itsmytwocents #oldguytakes

Is there a baseball stat that takes into account hits (etc.) against a position player pitching for the opposing team because of a blow-out? I'm sure there is. (Totally unrelated to today's Cubs game)

Tomorrow Night! (This is neither here nor there, but good lord am I getting back into doing hilarious Bad Art)

I think the 6 "rock" records from Jim O'Rourke are the best music committed to tape over the last 30-something years. You can buy the whole bunch from him on Bandcamp - I did this a few years ago. I don't know what this genre is called.... Here's "The Visitor": www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xoZ...

It's at least 80%!

I am not immune to the charms of the band Rush. They are not my favorite band, but I have enjoyed their thing over the years. The near universal approval and praise of Anika Nilles replacing N.P. on that ridiculous drum kit fills me with hope! She's killing it! The takes seem mostly good!

EP 050 - now heading to the blower of your choice!

Why does "Larry Bird" seem like the perfect name for that dude? #itsmytwocents

EP 049, now making its way to the blower of your choice. Wally McCarthy is painting again...

That new Azealia Banks record is a banger.

Not your grandpa's WSLP.

Tonight! EP 048!

Tonight! Farmers' Night at Evermor Park!

I am going to listen to a baseball game today. We're back, baby! We're going to MAKE IT! Thank you.
