Throwback Thursday – (Arguably) The Best Music Video of All Time
I was looking for something online and the Internet presented this fact to me: It’s been 18 years since Christopher Walken starred in Fat Boy Slim’s Weapon of Choice video.

Cable TV Blues
Next year, more Canadian homes will subscribe to streaming than cable TV. It’s no wonder. Despite some improvements in recent years – a la carte channel picking is one of them – it still feels like paying for cable gouges us more than necessary. And we’re always looking for a way out.

Well, That’s a First!
Easter weekend came and went in a flurry of crumpled chocolate-egg foil, spinning wheels and keystrokes.

Throwback Thursday – Dennis the Menace
Everyone knows my love for Tommy Shaw. Styx was one of my go-to bands growing up. I loved their entire albums until we got to Mr. Roboto. And I always preferred Tommy’s lead vocals to those of Dennis DeYoung.

My Generation
For the longest time, I thought I was Gen X. It was a shock to discover, a long time ago, that I actually belong to the tail end of the Baby Boomer generation. It didn’t make sense to me because my parents weren’t old enough to have served in a war. That’s where the “boom” came from; soldiers coming home from war, going forth and multiplying.

Shaky Money-Maker
I’ve been having trouble with my voice. There, I’ve said it. It’s difficult to admit that after decades of using my voice to make my living, I can’t count on it to be there when I need it.

Spring Ready with Frankie Flowers
Since we moved in December, I’ve only given passing glances to the outside part of our new home. There are gardens. A deck. A patio. Outdoor furniture left by the previous owners. (Thank you!) Stuff we have to get rid of. And a lawn that appears to need some TLC.

Review: After Life
Ricky Gervais doesn’t give a flying shit about what I think. Nor should he. If I’m ever lucky enough to talk to him, I’ll ask whose opinion does matter to him, other than his own. His longtime girlfriend Jane’s? If Jane thought something he wrote was rubbish, would he rewrite it or tell her she’s “mental”? (I don’t care either way – I just want to know the answer!)

Headline Afterthoughts
The pay-for-admissions scandal in the US dominated last week’s news. That is, until the horrific mass murder of 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand. If people should be safe anywhere, it’s in their houses of worship, but it just keeps happening. This time, streamed live online. It’s beyond tragic and I just want people to be safe from these twisted madmen.

International Women’s Day – On Being Liked
On this International Women’s Day, I suggest to you, my sisters, that we need to stop worrying about being liked. I stopped some time ago.

The Perry Way
When I was young, I dreamed of making a big impact on the world. How I’d do it was vague. But the difference would be on a grand scale. Now that I’m older, I’m more focused on the micro than the macro. It’s about making a difference in small moments on a regular basis. That’s why I was so touched by this story about Luke Perry.
