1982’s “Lunatic Fringe” is what many might know Red Rider for but a few years later, Tom Cochrane wrote this tune from the perspective of a dad who’s boy, a promising hockey player, was killed in a head on collision. Just makes one think.

Sometimes at night I can hear the ice crack
It sounds like thunder and it rips through my back
Sometimes in the morning I still hear the sound
Ice meets metal
"Can't you drive me down to the Big League?”

The “live” selection on deck: good take on this one. Too bad he didn’t have Jeff Beck on guitar like he was for the album cut.

Used to play the casanova
Smoother than the bossa nova
Love to play the romeo
But I never need a home to go to
I'm so greasy, I'm so slick.
I leave no traces
I just get out quick
I use cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever Throwaway

Current jam here on deck; it’s been too fuckin nice out here to be cooped up inside. Besides, I’m watching this little caterpillar move back and forth across the deck rail. Because … important shit, yanno?

I find comment 'bout my looks irrelativity
Think I'll go and have some fun 'cause it's all for free
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else

and now, this song by this band that I found by chance with this EP, curiously the first and the last song are the ones I like the most... they don't have many songs but I think they have potential for more explosive #Ska songs...👇🎶🏁🔊

I'm feelin' used, and baby I'm amused
Cause there's something that I shoulda done
Like take my time, or used another line
But I had to get on the run

Saturday night at the movies: I get a kick outta some of Tarentino’s stuff and the soundtrack for this one also kicks ass. Then there’s that ‘66 Cadillac de Ville.

Break time and a tune I’m gonna dedicate to fucking shit birds Whiskey Pete Kegsbreath and the God damn, motherfucking FOTUS; what those assholes did to MG Gant as well as other women who have served in fucking combat with the rest of us is about as unfucking American as one can get. Or well on the way to it. Fuckers.
