Something or other reminded me of this song by Luther Vandross, and that in turn triggered the memory of this other song by Mike and the Mechanics... Of course, what I had forgotten was the reason that I stopped listening to these two excellent tracks: they each reduce me to a blubbering wreck within a few bars. They are, however, very good songs, if you can get past the emotional baggage... or is...

The Living Years

This always makes me think of both branches of my family tree. This song is probably one of my all-time faves. And words to live by. Full set of lyrics on the flip Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I’m a prisoner To all my father held so [...]

My brother-in-law (who, for the purposes of this blog shall heretofore be referred to as "Mike"), has had a jolly old week of dealing with car problems. Since I have currently very little of interest (or even very little of no interest at all) to share, I figured I would regale you with his story instead. It all really started about three years ago when it was time for Mike to get a new car....
