Goodbye Merle
Goodbye Merle Haggard
Thank you for all your music
Hope you walk with Him
Evergreen Grammys Haiku
Watching the Grammys
It’s a bit of a freak show
Like every year
Piano Haiku
Please don’t play “Chopsticks”
Your audience with thank you
They’ve heard it before.
Kazoo Haiku
Hear that kazoo song
One thousand ducks are jealous
Your voice is splendid
Guitars Haiku
Six strings. Make them ring!
Strum the chords upon the frets
Don’t get out of tune
A disco dancer’s lament
Some days I feel old
Showed off my disco dance moves
Sore muscles followed
We had an all-day conference at work today. After lunch the moderator helped the crowd get our energy up by asking us all to break into small groups and bust out some dance moves.
Luckily, when I was in eighth grade the Sisters of Notre Dame taught us how to disco before our class dance. I’m not as limber as I was when I was thirteen.
Pondering the lack of twang
ACM awards
Always make me scratch my head.
Where is the “Country”?
I don’t really watch many awards shows anymore. Orgies of self-congratulation fail to hold my attention for long. I do watch the ACMs and the CMAs. Every time I watch them I get a little heartburn because I don’t think much of what is marketed as Country Music really qualifies as “country” it is pop rock hip hop with pickup truck in the video.
Tuxes and curse words
Rock Hall Induction
Much excitement in Cleveland

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Cleveland, Ohio. The city hosts the induction ceremony every three years.The New Yorkers that run the show can only be induced to come here that frequently, I suppose. Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble were inducted – hence the #RIPSRV hashtag.
Many Cleveland celebrities were at the festivities and the awesome Betsy Kling was keeping a count of the F-bombs dropping, inspiring today’s poem of the day.
F-Bombs 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6 thrown down by Miley Cyrus. #ROCKnROLL #CLERocking

A poem for Opening Day in Cleveland
Tribe opening day
A new season commences
Fans already freak
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I get it. My Dad saw the Indians play at League Park, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, and Jacobs Field. My Great Grandfather was an Indians fan, the kind that wore a suit, tie, and straw hat to the ballpark. He probably smoked a cigar, too.
What I am trying to say is that I love the Indians and I understand the emotion. It is a family tradition I an handing down to my boys.
But come on, people. The season is long. April to October is a long, long road.
