"Brown Eyed Girl"
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Gas Over $2 Here!! Now $2.20
As I figured, gas prices around here jumped about 25 cents on Friday. Stations are selling for $2.19 and $2.20, here in northeastern Illinois around Fox Lake (right on the McHenry and Lake County border).
This makes three straight Fridays we've had 20-25 cent increases, followed by a 5-10 cent reduction before the next gouge.
Gas in Fox Lake was $1.48 on February 5, and now $2.20. That is a 72 cent increase in just over a month.
Glad Somebody's Getting Richer. Certainly Not Me. --RoadDog

Getting Our Irish On
Yesterday, we went to Hello Folks in Fox Lake, Illinois, to eat and play NTN, then went to the Fox Lake Library and saw Banna, an Irish duo, put on their fin and sing-a-long hour of fun Irish music.
Earlier today, I brought up a wreath, , green lights, shamrocks and so forth from the basement and put them up inside and outside the house.
Tonight, we go to the Legion for the Grant Township annual fish fry.
Saturday it is the Lake Villa, Illinois, annual St. Patrick's Day parade and Irish music at the VFW.
And, that's just leading up to the "Real" day on Thursday.
Not Irish, But Irish This Week. --RoadDog

Saying Goodbye to Lower Than $2 Gas Prices Around Here
Sadly, the gas stations are getting ready to raise gas prices between 20 cents and 25 cents by tomorrow. Gas in Fox Lake, Illinois, was $1.96 today (and still there at that price at 8:15. I'm sure it will be at least $2.20 by tomorrow.
They have now raised the price of gas up 20-25 cents every Friday for the past three weeks and then dropped it ten cents during the week until the next Friday.
Sadly, they can raise it 20-25 cents in a matter of seconds. But to drop 5-10 cents takes a week.
Thanks a Lot Big Oil!! --RoadDog

5. Pink Floyd
6. The Clash
7. Sonic Youth

RAMBLINGS OF A RETIRED MIND (From the Orange Peel Gazette): I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on (or, are looking at). I can't afford one and wouldn't know how to operate it anyway. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener.

Music Stuff: Van Morrison, Glenn Frey, Elvin Bishop
1. VAN MORRISON was officially knighted (as Sir Ivan) by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on Feb. 4. The new Sir Ivan remarked that he'd been in the music business for 53 years and "that's not bad for a blue-eyed soul singer from East Belfast."
2. GLENN FREY DRIVE-- On Feb. 11, 2016, the City of Royal Oak, Michigan and the Royal Oak School Board voted to rename a section of Willis Avenue as "Glenn Frey Drive," in honor of the Eagles'member who just died and grew up there.
3. ELVIN BISHOP-- to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis on May 4.

TEEN ATTIRE: A teen-aged boy with spiked hair, nose ring and baggy clothes was overheard telling a friend, "I don't really like dressing like this, but it keeps my parents from dragging me everywhere with them."

Music Deaths: Sonny James "The Southern Gentleman": Johnny Cash Signed His Album for Me
SONNY JAMES, 87. Died Feb. 22, 2016.
"The Southern Gentleman" of country music. Born James Loden in Alabama. Performed with his family on Mississippi and Alabama radio stations where he was called "Sonny Boy." Korean War veteran.
Sonny James charted 72 times on country Billboard charts and had 21 #1s and crossed over to the Pop Charts 18 times with "Young Love" being by far his biggest hit. It went to #1 in 1957.
His "First Date, First Kiss" went to #25 on the Billboard Pop charts in 1957, but the rest of his crossovers mostly peaked in the 80s.
He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Hit Parade Hall of Fame and Alabama Music Hall of Fame and retired in 1983, spending the rest of his life doing his second love- fishing.
I saw him at a concert back in 1968 and bought an album, "Heaven Says Hello." After the show, i was waiting for him to come out to sign it and saw Johnny Cash exiting and asked him for an autograph. He said yes, but all I had was the Sonny James album, but he signed it anyway, but laughed.
So that's the story of how my Sonny James album came to have Johnny Cash's signature.

JSS: No More Snow-- So Sad, Part 1-- So Sad, Part 2
JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. NO MORE SNOW-- As of this morning the last of the snow we got last week has officially melted here at the house in Spring Grove, Illinois. Let's hope that ends it for the season.
2. SO SAD, PART 1-- I saw the video of the fan keeping the youngster from getting hit in the head by a bat at a spring training game. The kid was completely oblivious of the bat coming at his head as he was, you guessed it, completely absorbed in his cell phone. Smart Phone Indeed!
3. SO SAD, PART 2-- The Feb. 25, 2016, Speed Bump comic strip showed seven 4-5 year-olds sitting and one standing, all eyes glued to cell phones. You see the word "Duck" six times above them in balloons and the word "Goose" once.
Oh, Woe Is Us. --RoadDog

JSS: I Can See-- Gas Gouge-- A Band and a Hockey Game-- Congrats to NIU Basketball
JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. I CAN SEE-- Thursday I had cataract surgery at Cigna Hospital in McHenry. It is so wonderful to have sight again in my left eye. I could see nothing but faint shadows out of it the last several months.
2. GAS GOUGE-- On Fridays for the last three weekend, our local gas stations have jumped the price of gas up by 20-25 cents and then lowered them about ten cents during the next week before raising them again. Thanks a lot, guys.
3. A BAND AND A HOCKEY GAME-- This weekend, we saw a two-piece band Saturday afternoon at the Legion in Fox Lake, Illinois called the Honeymooners and then yesterday watched the Blackhawks play the Detroit Redwings.
4. CONGRATS TO NIU BASKETBALL-- Friday, the Northern Illinois University men's basketball team closed out their regular season with their 20th win over division rival Ball State. This was the first 20-game winning season since the 1994-1995 season and only the 4th time in our history. Tonight we play in the first round of the MAC tournament.
