"Snowman, you got your ears on?"

Twas 34 years ago today when THE greatest movie of ALL time had its grand debut before American audiences, a flick that would make Burt Reynolds a bonafide world famous movie star.

Okay, maybe it's not the greatest movie ever but it sure is a fun one with one of THE greatest songs EVER . . . and that I stand by!

East Bound and Down

from: Smokey & The Bandit (1977)
costarring: Sally Field, Jerry Reed & Jackie Gleason

I love you, Amy. Always.

Eight Million Stories...

I became aware of a group to join on a social network site that is named something along the lines of:

"Being from New York, I get a special feeling hearing Empire State Of Mind"

Having no idea what song that is -- I assumed it was a song -- I went lookin'...

Jay-Z - Alicia Keys

If I was not from the NYC area, I certainly wouldn't have as much interest in this that I do.

I'm pretty tolerant of a lot of different music and after a few times watching that, the song's kind of grown on me. The video really makes me miss where I'm from. There's nowhere as special as New York.

Grateful Dead (+ related) Shows & Albums: Whole List

*** If you're reading this, I'm probably dead by suicide. It's amazing how one woman can destroy a man's life, seemingly without any care whatsoever. I was once one of the most important people in the world to her. I never imagined that I'd have to end my life to get rid of so much pain. All I wanted was for things to get better, to return to listening to this great music, to have a normal life. But she made sure that would never be.

If any links are not working, I'm sorry.

Enjoy the tunes.
