This song by The Foo Fighters is inspirational and tells the story of a hero. Something we are seeing a lot of lately. Being a hero is a noble thing if you ask me.

Sonic Saturday – Little Richard: Tutti Frutti
Little Richard is one of the fathers of Rock and Roll. He passed away on May 9, 2020. Born Richard Wayne Penniman, Little Richard had a stellar career in music and lived a very full and colorful life. He influenced many artists whose work we are all familiar with. He leaves behind a legacy of music that we will remember for years to come.
So I Cried A Little Tonight
Music and Television when put in the right mix can bring forth emotions that are hard to come out otherwise. A TV show I was watching tonight did that to me and I needed it. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist has dealt with the impending death of the lead character’s father.
The season finale Zoey’s dad passed away and it brought back a lot of memories and feelings to when my own dad passed away in August 2019. The same struggle at the end and all the things that went along with his final days were portrayed very poignantly here.
I hadn’t cried a lot since then and it was a little healing and cathartic when I wept tonight. Grief is a weird thing and it can be on you at any time. I am glad to have been able to have a little release. I didn’t know it was needed. There will be more times when that will happen again.
Sonic Saturday – Rage Against The Machine: Wake Up
Wake Up From Rage Against The Machine is the end credit song from “The Matrix” movies. There is something a little subversive and edgy about this track. I am into subversive and edgy stuff lately.
Sonic Saturday: Rick Springfield – Human Touch
On this Sonic Saturday (one day late, sorry) I present “Human Touch” by Rick Springfield. So many people are in need of the touch of another human being. Whether it be holding hands or hugging everyone needs some measure of contact. Until we can be together again we have to keep holding on to the memory of what physical contact is like. Of course some folks are happy to be touch free and that’s cool they can be cared for in a different way. No matter what we all need that human touch.
I’m so scared and isolated in the modern world

Sonic Saturday: Too Much Time On My Hands – Styx
Introducing Sonic Saturday. I am going to post some music videos on Saturday that are relevant to what’s going on today and come from my point of view.
Too Much Time On My Hands is a classic track from the classic rock group Styx. When you think about it we all have more time on our hands these days and you know there’s nothing wrong with that.
