Fortissimo


Our Moz has begun his US Tour with stops in Portland, Seattle and San Francisco. In addition to new songs from "Low In High School" Moz has added a few exciting wrinkles to his concerts. In Portland he added a song he has never played live before, the raucous "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish". And quite a stunner it was.


                                                               Our Moz at his finest.


                      "I grabbed you by the Heinz Baked Beans, that's what tradition means."



                                           A well deserved ovation for Moz and The Boys

At his concert in San Francisco, Moz sang one of my favorites for the first time in 25 years, "Glamorous Glue".  He sang it 25 years ago, November 14, 1992,  on Saturday Night Live. He opened the San Francisco show, which was Saturday November 4, 2017 by saying "It's Saturday Night Live!" As of now, there is no Youtube video of "Glamorous Glue" in San Francisco. I sure hope a video will pop up sometime as I love that song.


                The closing credits and ending of Saturday Night Live with Mozza as musical guest.
                                     Would be nice if he were invited back again this season.
                            FYI - Michael Keaton and Heinz Baked Beans are from Pittsburgh.


WOW and I mean WOW!! A video has appeared from the San Francisco concert of "Glamorous Glue". What an incredible live performance! Our Moz commands the stage like no other!!

Today was election day in the U.S.. It was mainly local elections. There were several Gubernatorial races, Virginia and New Jersey. In my neck of the woods, it was mainly local and some state judges. Our Moz would be disappointed in me as I supported the process and voted. Oh, you poor little fool!
Besides playing ice hockey and drinking, I spent a lot of the prior weekend thinking about Bobby Kennedy and what good would have happened if he had been elected President. I can't help that my idealistic self comes through at election time, so I voted. My one pet peeve at the polls is those people who hand out literature for their candidates in front of the polling location. I have to pass by them, I call it running the gauntlet. I try to get by them without acknowledging any of them or taking any of their propaganda. Today I was successful. I took a deep breath, put my head down and sprinted through their skirmish line. They tried their best but couldn't hook me. One guy said hi but I flew by, got to the door and even helped a lady inside who was walking with a cane. Fortunately, they ignore you when you come back outside after voting.
