So Halloween is in the rear-view mirror…and I guess the Christmas season will soon begin (like today). But in this post Halloween lull, we should all be concerned about something near and dear to my heart…dental hygiene. Those who know me well are aware that for the last four years I’ve been a consultant for [...]

Nash was born in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, in 1942, his mother having been evacuated there from the Nash’s hometown of Salford, Lancashire because of the Second World War. The family subsequently returned to Salford, where Graham grew [...]
In deference to friends and family on the East Coast, I’ve postponed my Halloween posting this year in favor of some much needed “Electricity.” When it was released on their 1979 album “Fear Of Music,” the Talking Heads song “Electricity” was renamed “Drugs.” But since family and friends back east could probably use some electricity [...]

Here’s another one for family and friends on the East Coast who are enduring the big storm. While Sandy blows through your town, I hope you are hangin’ tight with enough food, water, booze and most importantly, electricity! While “Frankenstorm” is indeed a force of nature not to be messed with, so was Johnny Cash, [...]
In 1990’s Britpop there was a hierarchy of bands. It went Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Supergrass and, arguably, Cast. Based on record sales and fan base, they made up the top branches of the movement with acts like Elastica, Sleeper and Kula Shaker inhabiting the football equivalent of the Europa League. Yet Cast were, at the time, treated with unfair patronization and a certain amount of snobbery, especially [...]
