Remember group therapy? You know….CONCERTS? I still have moments when I wonder if we’ll ever get to go again. Now, now, I know some of you are saying “But wait, Duran has some scheduled for next summer! What about Ibiza in Ap…I mean October now…” Yes. Yes I know about those shows. I have moments,… Continue reading Random Fandom: Another Concert Meme

Random Fandom: We Are Not Okay
It’s meme time. Here’s one that I have seen pretty frequently since the beginning of the pandemic: Every time I run across it on some social media site, I find myself nodding. Then, a wave of sadness washes over me. You know most of the time, I am okay with staying at home. I’m okay… Continue reading Random Fandom: We Are Not Okay
Random Fandom: Acknowledgment
For today’s Random Fandom, I’ve got a little story to share. Back when the lockdowns in the US first started – at least here in California on the Central Coast – I started spending more and more time outside during the day. It was just at the point where our weather here was beginning to… Continue reading Random Fandom: Acknowledgment
Random Fandom: Concert Weirdos
Last week, I quit Twitter. I took one last look through my old tweets, said a few silent goodbyes to people and accounts I’ve followed from the beginning, and deactivated my personal account. It was strange, but also just the teeniest bit of a relief. Before the conspiracy theories commence, it had nothing to do… Continue reading Random Fandom: Concert Weirdos
Random Fandom: #LifeGoals
The other day I was flipping through photos on my phone in the quest to find some, temporary escape from the real world and my insane schedule when I came across this photo, this meme. I have no idea how long I have had it but it made me smile enough to save it and… Continue reading Random Fandom: #LifeGoals
Random Fandom: Video Clips
I doubt that I’m not the only one out there saying that this has been quite a week. Obviously, there has been a lot of news here in the States, much of which is simply concerning to exhausting. On top of that, my jobs (both paid and unpaid) are increasing in intensity, leaving me longing… Continue reading Random Fandom: Video Clips
Random Fandom: Music & Lyrics
I saw this meme today… For whatever reason, it rang true. Up until recently, I was on a music stretch – I would listen to the music and not think too hard about what was being communicated. I let the music – the instrumentation alone – shape my thoughts and feelings. I have to admit… Continue reading Random Fandom: Music & Lyrics
Which John Taylor Are You?
So, how are you? This question feels to me to be a tough one to ask and answer these days. Nowadays, when I ask this question, I hear the subtle or not-so-subtle silence as the person pauses, trying to figure out exactly how to answer it. On one hand, people might feel glad or relieved… Continue reading Which John Taylor Are You?
Funny or Insulting?
Not too long ago, I rediscovered an image that I had saved years ago. Obviously, at the time, it hit me enough that I saved it but I did not do anything with it. I guess I was not sure what to do with it until now. How many of you have seen this: When… Continue reading Funny or Insulting?
Best Basslines
This morning, a friend of ours, shared a link to an article in an online website, MusicRadar. I’m not familiar with this particular site, but it is described as “No. 1 website for musicians.” Interesting. I’ll come back to that in a bit. This particular article, which you can read for yourself here, focused on… Continue reading Best Basslines
