Davy Jones of the Monkees has died at the age of 66. Of course I remember Jones and the Monkees and their Bieber-foreshadowing cuteness, and although I wasn’t much of a fan I did like “I’m a Believer.” Did I … Continue reading →
It’s that time again
[NOTE: Bumped up from yesterday.] Yes, it’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Time passes so quickly when we’re enjoying ourselves. But yes, it’s been a while since I asked you to donate to a semi-worthy cause: this blog. And so … Continue reading →
