Not too long ago, I was mesmerized by the music documentary “Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”. This film tells the story of the Brothers Gibb, also known as The Bee Gees. I’ve been a fan of the Bee Gees since I can remember. And now I have my Bee Gees Top Ten list!
In Japan, we eagerly welcome 2021 Year of the Ox and happily say goodbye to 2020, which lived up to its title of Year of the Rat! And you can’t beat a cute ox/cow on a Japanese New Year’s postcard! And listen to Lizzo!
I could not think of a better top ten to end the year with than an Elvis Presley Top Ten! I’ve been an Elvis fan since the first time I heard “That’s All Right”. Elvis had it all from a big, generous heart to a big, golden voice.
A haiku written back in October 2020 in memory of Tom Petty and the release of his album Wildflowers & All the Rest, which includes music left off the original album back in 1994. I did not think Wildflowers could get any better. I was wrong.
We lost Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020 and, truth be told, I am still processing his death. I have been Van Halen fan since I was in the ninth grade. He was a guitar virtuoso and he literally changed the way rock guitar was played.
It has been a very rainy summer in Misawa, Japan.
Surfing and searching for something new to watch due to just falling in a big “show hole” after completing a couple of good series on Netflix, I found a new documentary on Queen.
Don’t pretend to not notice my Pretenders Top Ten songs!
This Top Ten is dedicated to all those “bad girls out there that play that rock-n-roll” and dominate our ears, hearts, and prepubescent crushes!
Music brings people together and is the cornerstone for several of my friendships.
