And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement. That’s right, yesterday’s Song Lyric of the Week was from none other than Arlo Guthrie’s lengthy anti-war song Alice’s Restaurant Massacree. […]

Well, I started thinking about today’s Song Lyric of the Week posting and quickly realized that there was only one song that would do on Thanksgiving. This one should be super-obvious for those of you who’ve heard it, and for those who haven’t… you need to find a copy, sit down and listen for a […]

Wow, I didn’t think last week’s Song Lyric of the Week was that obscure, but apparently not many people have listened carefully to U2’s latest CD, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, or the lyrics of Crumbs From Your Table. Drew knew it was U2 but couldn’t place the song, but his email was the […]

I know, it’s late – I’ve been off the net most of the day – but here’s this week’s Song Lyric of the Week. It’s another one that should be fairly easy for regular readers here, let’s see how you do. As before, the rules are simple: I post a lyric, you guess what song […]

Just about every Thursday, Rob gives us a cinematic memory challenge with his Movie Line of the Week contest. Beginning today, I’m also going to tweek those memory cells with a new weekly challenge: Song Lyric of the Week. The rules are simple: I post a lyric, you guess what song it’s from. Please, no […]

Let’s hear it for the “6-year-old son of a constituent,” getting his voice heard by his congressman and perhaps giving Hawaii a ‘state fish’ once again. Everybody sing along with Eric Stone [mp3]… “The Humuhumunukunukuapua’ is the fish that I Aloha / He likes to swim at the top of the reef near the beaches […]

1. Read through John Gruber’s latest, Rhymes With Ditty 2. Laugh out loud, snorting milk out your nose. Meanwhile… the Dogcow lives, though only in the archives of the web. Why would Apple remove the original from their knowledgebase? I’ll have to ask Joe to see if he can discover the rationale.
