I feel happy to have found this song for Mixed Music Bag’s last April 2025 offering. It’s one where I not only recognized the band but liked the song. Listening to the simple lyrics that get repeated several times with only minor changes in them has me wondering what is going on here. Was he…

A2Z 2025 — Day 20 — Tomatoes and Turkeys
TomatoesTomatoes are food crops I have been growing for years now. They are easy to start inside, and once they get planted they do their jobs without too much fuss.

#169 on 2007’s “List of 200 Definitive Albums in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” “Aqualung” was released in 1971. It is the first album I ever heard of theirs. I came to it from a criminal boyfriend I had at the time that broke into cars and stole their 8-track players and anything…
