“Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield
Midday Music Day 12. Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield.
I always thought the line…
And I’m lookin’ in the mirror all the time
Wondering what she don’t see in me,
…was pretty clever.
“Daredevil: From the City Without Hope Comes a New Kind of Hero… A Man Without Fear”
I think this re-imagined Daredevil movie poster is the coolest. It comes from a tweet by Peter S @Stultsified who said:
What If… instead of the new Netflix series, Daredevil was a 1940s film with Sydney Greenstreet as the Kingpin.
“Angel is a Centerfold” by J. Geils Band
Midday Music Day 11. Angel is a Centerfold by J. Geils Band.
This song was never really a favorite. Then last year we had to put down our dog, Bruiser, who was nearly 17 years old. It was a tough time for me. I got in the car to go to work the morning after and the first words on the radio were: “The memory of my angel could never cause me pain.” For whatever reason that seemed like the words I needed to hear. Anyway… on to the song.
Will “Lost in Space” Ever Get Its Props
Will Lost in Space Ever Get Its Props by Charlie Jane Anders is an interesting look back at one of my favorite shows when I was a little kid.
I think that one of the reasons that Lost In Space doesn’t get its props is that over the course of the series it just became too campy… although as Anders points out the Batman series was equally as campy and is now revered. Perhaps the difference is that the Batman series was always camp and Lost In Space slide down that slope after starting out as a more serious adventure series.

“Born To Be Alive” by Patrick Hernandez
Midday Music Day 8. Born To Be Alive by Patrick Hernandez.
My buddy, Jim Ivey who is 89 now, hates this song. Sometimes when playing poker we’d have the radio as background music – this is the only song I can remember him complaining about. So this one’s for you, Jim!
“Blurred Lines” Bluegrass
How about a little Blurred Lines Bluegrass?
The Punisher Hits the Big Time!
The Punisher is one of Marvel’s best known and most popular characters. There was a time when that wasn’t the case.
What brought the skull-wearing assassin to the big time, you ask? (And I’m glad you did.)
Thanks should go to the first Punisher mini-series by Steven Grant, Mike Zeck and Big John Beatty. You could tell from the cover, things were about to change for good ole Frank Castle.
Are You Going Down “The Red Road”
If you enjoy well-written, acted and directed drama, then I hope you’re watching The Red Road on the Sundance Channel.
The Red Road stars Jason Momoa, Martin Henderson, Julianne Nicholson, Tom Sizemore, and Tamara Tunie.
