The NEXT Top 100 (or so) Songs I Absolutely Must Have With Me on 1/48/50 (cont...)
#185) "An American Dream" by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - I've got all sorts of songs that remind me of my childhood, most of them on the "AM Gold" or "Singers and Songwriters" side of things (my parents were not exactly rocking out to Kiss back then), but "An American Dream" is one of the first songs I remember really liking...

#181) "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2 - U2 is one of those bands I had to grow into. I resisted them for years, on some kind of principle I could not have easily explained. I guess I was always turned off by what I saw as pretentiousness: Bono seeming to hold court in every song, self-proclaimed prosecutor of all the world's good fights and heady messages...

#175) "I Am Waiting" by The Rolling Stones - Not entirely sure if it's true, but I remember hearing or reading somewhere that The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson was so frustrated by the success of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album (released on the heels of his critically acclaimed Pet Sounds), it cast him into a protracted state of depression and self-loathing so deep rooted - and exacerbated by drugs and alcohol - that it tore at the fabric of his sanity...

#174) - Smokey Robinson. A superb songwriter, with a superb voice, Smokey Robinson pretty much helped create the Motown sound (and musical business model) in the 1960s, composing some of the greatest pop songs of all time, not just for himself, but many other artists.

Thoughts on renewing my driver's license
My driver's license expired on my birthday, which is Christmas Day. It wasn't until the following week I realized it had lapsed, and not until after the New Year that I had a chance to take care of it. Oh yes, this 'bad boy' went nearly two weeks driving the highways and byways without a valid Wisconsin license, and I'm proud to say that's just about the most illegal thing I've ever done, unless you count my overnight parking violation ten years ago, a $25 fine I neglected to pay that resulted in a warrant being issued for my arrest....

Thoughts on Wednesday's Powerball jackpot, and how "millionaire Jared" might be different from "average everyday Jared"
It got cold this week, an arctic blast slicing clean through what had been winter's soft warm belly up until now. Should have known it was too good to last, all that wet, London-style gray over the holidays. Now it's back to cold nose and numb toes, dry hands and heating bills through the roof....

Thoughts, as Star Wars strikes back...
And so today at long last, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, gets released amidst a raging electrical storm of hype that, from a merchandising standpoint, has reached sort of a ridiculous pitch. When I was a kid, it was mostly toys that got marketed alongside the movies, items geared almost exclusively toward children - action figures, puzzles, the odd lunch box. I had a pair of Darth Vader Underoos once (no, really...), and I seem to recall a breakfast cereal hitting store shelves just ahead of 1983's Return of the Jedi. They were called C-3PO's. They were disgusting.

#172) "We've Only Just Begun" by The Carpenters - Seminal to my first glimmers of awareness so many years ago, when sunlight came from all around and adults were just large unknown figures picking me up and putting me down, this was the music my parents listened to, playing in the background and thus shaping my very young life...

#170) "River" by Joni Mitchell - For me, music is just music. I either like something, or I don't, and I resist labels that try to tell me what I "should" be listening to. But I can't deny there are some performers who are geared specifically, and solely, toward a certain listener. Katy Perry, Adele, Rhianna, Taylor Swift, for instance...these singers make music for girls and/or women, no question...

#168) "Brass in Pocket" by The Pretenders - Sometimes a song is so well crafted it effortlessly reflects more than one emotion, or impulse. By way of lyrics, melody and rhythm, Brass in Pocket captures in a single shot both our aggressive pursuit of sex and love, our need for it, and the vulnerability that keeps it in check (for most of us)...

#166) "Creep" by Radiohead - I can't find it anywhere unfortunately, but there's a weirdly poignant moment in an episode of Beavis and Butthead, of all things, where the two buffoons are watching the "Creep" video, waiting patiently for it to start "rocking" (Butthead assuring Beavis that it will at some point), and after several moments silently absorbing Thom York mumbling his self-loathing lyrics, Butthead mutters, seemingly perplexed (which is what makes it), "This guy is down on himself." ...

Brush with identity theft serves as a real eye-opener: to how bad it could have been, and how bad it actually is
A few speeding tickets over time, two overnight parking citations (one of which I failed to pay, which resulted in a warrant being issued for my arrest)...that's about as close to legal trouble as I've ever stepped, I'm happy, relieved, and proud to say...

#164) "The End of the End" by Paul McCartney - Once again, the self-proclaimed purveyor of "silly love songs" proves that when he does latch onto a theme, wants to get a message across, he has a way of socking the listener square in the nose...

#162) "Allentown" by Billy Joel - If this playlist really is more about the road I've traveled than the road trip I plan to take, then there may be no more seminal song to put on it than Allentown. I was ten when this song was released, halfway through the task of growing up in my very own rust belt.

Late season outing got me thinking about what fishing would mean in a zombie apocalypse
Wow, this summer really got away from me. Seems like just last week I was in Clam Lake, Wisconsin during the longest days of the year, throwing a little hissy fit as musky after musky threw my lure, in a twilight that lingered so long it was still seeping into my dreams long after I'd drifted off to sleep. Before I knew it, it was July 4....

#160) "Nocturne in E Flat, Opus 9, #2" by Frederic Chopin - Of all the classical composers, many of them gifted (to say the very least), nobody intrigues, moves, or impresses me like Chopin. Though most of his work was written for solo piano, I watched a BBC documentary recently that explains there was often a female vocalist on his mind when he composed, and as a result, his pieces tend to be emotionally expressive as well as astonishingly intricate...
