50 years since Gram Parsons died
I have posted before about Parsons. He is one of my favorite musicians. I’ll link to a few songs at the bottom – one from the first Flying Burrito Brothers album and one each from his two solo albums.
The media has failed in their coverage of the possible shutdown
More both sides BS. If the public doesn’t understand that the shutdown would be caused by Republicans, the media has failed (again).
Covers: Joy to the World
This article reminded me of “Joy to the World”, a huge hit for Three Dog Night in 1971. It was written by Hoyt Axton who also recorded it.
Robert Andino’s walk-off hit was 12 years ago today
On September 28, 2011 Orioles player Robert Andino got a hit off Red Sox closer Jon Papelbon which won the game and prevented the Red Sox from making the playoffs. I linked to a tweet with video.
That winter, I went to the Orioles FanFest and got Andino’s autograph. After that, I heard one fan tell another “I tried to get him to sign it ‘Suck it Pap’ but he wouldn’t”.

Covers: Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
“Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” was a Jim Croce song from 1973. He died on September 20, 1973. See my other post about him. When I saw him, he and his accompanist (who also died in the plane crash), played acoustic guitar. It was just the two of them. I saw him on March 3, 1973.
Sad!
