Foot On! Apply directly to…

Having only recently discovered that the proton pump inhibitors I take can cause vitamin B-12 deficiency, which causes numbness in the hands and feet, I figured I’d stock up on some B12 and B6 to see if this would help, while they were on sale. I have had some luck in the past, so I figured why not try again.

So I open the jar in the car driving to rockford today, and proceed to spill the damned thing on the floor, open, so a couple dozen tabs fell on the floor and a solid half dozen directly into my shoe.

I don’t think they help when applied that way.

My year. Not a meme.Well, maybe. No, not a meme.

Kim and Chris are talking about the year they graduated HS. My year was 1977.

Lots of crappy damned music that year. A couple good songs, too.

ELO- Telephone line.
Eagles. Hotel California.
MTB- Heard it in a love song
Sanford Townshend Band- Smoke from a Distant Fire

The rest are so damned horrid, for the most part, with a lot of bubblegum crap by Babs Streisand and KC and the Sunshine Band, i won’t copy the list here.

There were a BUNCH of good albums.

Exodus – Bob Marley & The Wailers
Police & Thieves – Junior Murvin
My Aim Is True – Elvis Costello
Rumours – Fleetwood Mac
Talking Heads: 77 – Talking Heads
Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols – The Sex Pistols
Rough Mix – Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane
The Stranger – Billy Joel
Animals – Pink Floyd
Aja – Steely Dan
Slowhand – Eric Clapton
Bat Out Of Hell – Meat Loaf
Songs From The Wood – Jethro Tull
Ahh…The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! – Bootsy Collins
I Robot – The Alan Parsons Project
New Boots And Panties!! – Ian Dury
News Of The World – Queen
Foreign Affairs – Tom Waits
CSN – Crosby, Stills & Nash
Out Of The Blue – Electric Light Orchestra

I listen to some of those songs today, think of the memories they bring back.

I’m happy to have survived that time. I wish some of those musicians were still there, still writing. Toy caldwell of MTB- that boy could sing and write and play a song.

if you’re a hillbilly, if you’re a redneck, you hear his music, and you grok it’s fullness.
heard it in a love song is my favorite.
Fire on the Mountain.
This old cowboy

Toy Caldwell died in 1993.

Damn. Enough navel gazing, This is why I hate memes.

Wow

Eating Gyros and farting in a steamy hot shower is NOT a good idea.

Man, I nearly chewed my leg off getting out of there.
