Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from July 1, 2016 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I suppose it's fair to say that Randy Newman is an acquired taste. I haven't fully acquired it, but a friend from high school was a fan then, and I trust his judgment, particularly respecting the early stuff. Sameness, though, isn't damning. Unless you're Rush.

Well now if you are including fiddle or banjo tunes, you get a lot more named after states. You can add a few more to the Oklahoma list like Oklahoma Waltz, and Oklahoma Redbird. But, I think the states having the most fiddle or banjo tunes named after them are Georgia and Arkansas.

The last few people from Puerto Rico who spoke to me about statehood said that there is 1 contingent wanting state-hood, 1 contingent wanting complete separatism as I n nationhood, 1 that wants things to remain as is, and another group that does not seem to care. And that as long as he nationhood and statehood groups each represent less than 50% of the population, there will not be any change.

...and to your point, after getting nervous that I fucked up the bottle somehow, I opened it and it spit hot coffee out all over because of the pressure change.
