Today's Tidbit

There weren't a lot of No.1's on the charts I wanted to talk about today. However, on this day in 1978 Joe Walsh released "Life's Been Good".

1978 was a great year that brought us Rush's "All the Worlds a Stage" their answer to Led Zeppelin's song remains the same. I found it really was the last decade of some of that better rock music that took a huge nose dive in the disco era that followed and the bubble gum rock era that followed that. Other then a few key exceptions this is probably the last decade for decent song writing and serious stadium filling rock on the whole. I haven't forgotten the KISS or Van Halen's of the world but that 70's decade was still dishing out 60's era song crafting for the most part.

No video again this time just sound.

IMPORTANT

This post is here to show a few other ways that my blog can be viewed. There are some completely different styles that are often more modern looking as well. I prefer the default look but not everybody will, choices are always a good thing. Enjoy!

Steak & White Rice

A beautiful steak cooked on the stove-top with white rice, fried mushrooms and caramelized onions. Even more delicious then these pictures could ever hope convey!

Ground Black Pepper and Sea Salt is all the seasoning these needed.

Today's Tidbit

On this day back in 1974 The Wings reached No.1 on the US singles chart with their musical effort entitled "Band on the Run". One of my all time favourites.

[The auto checker wants me to spell that as "favorites" the American way. I often will go along with these Americanized spelling corrections just to get rid of the red error line underneath, dropping more u's then I can count in the process. I.E. color vs colour in the process. This time I won't do that as it just looks plan wrong without the u! Canadians spell things straight from their original derivatives from the UK].

Spaghetti & Meatballs

I had a lot of pictures that were blurry or this would look even yummier then it already does. I"m going to need to start using my tripod soon.
