Tuesdays Are Days Too!



Tuesday is a great day for contemplation and meditation, because it's usually a boring day that has little significance in our lives, except for the Moody Blues, who made a gazillion dollars with a song about Tuesday....afternoon, for heaven's sakes!

I suggest you listen to this remarkable song whilst reading my blog, to put you in the mood.

You didn't click on the song, did you?



I sincerely hope so, because following my instructions count as 60% of your final grade!



Now that you're listening to Tuesday Afternoon, free your busy mind from the rotten cares of the day, the nasty, negative news, the goals that you've never achieved, your miserable failures at love, the three legged race you SHOULD have won, the time your boomerang came back and put a gash in your forehead, and the police officer stopped and gave you a ride home, and didn't believe your story until you showed him the bloody boomerang stuck in your pants, because you were embarrassed that you got hit by your own stupid boomerang! 



What? No, I'm not just talking about me! That boomerang story applies to everyone in a metaphorical way. 



We all have done things that came back on us, and were embarrassed when the police picked us up, right?



As Tuesday Afternoon continues to play in the background, we imagine wild geese flying north in a precision V formation as a harbinger of spring, sparkling blue water flowing down a mountain creek as the snow melts, proclaiming the end of winter blues, baby buds bursting beautifully on birch trees, announcing the birth of the new sun filled season, and how much cash the Moody Blues made from that song! It had to be a fortune!!

Although I was bored and raged in the steaming hot projects of old St. Louis (not hot in the winter, though), I totally adore more pastoral vistas, like Beethoven musically illustrated in his magnificent 6th Symphony...

You cannot listen to this now, because you're listening to the Moody Blues, but when that's done, just listen to the first 3 minutes of this and you'll get my point. "What point," you ask? There IS a point in here somewhere! 

Living right smack dab in the middle of Illinois, I can truly appreciate the beauty of corn in the fields, MUCH more than dumb old Michael Bloomberg would ever understand!



Farmers are the smartest people I know! Bloomberg needs to talk to an Illinois farmer, and realize how dumb HE really is! 



Farmers need to be experts in a hundred different things, like business, agriculture, mechanics, ecology, animal husbandry (that sounds a bit weird, but it's not), water management, hayrides, fencing (not with swords), construction, raising good kids, line dancing, and much more than Doomberg could ever relate to in his Ivory soap tower! 



Sorry if I've briefly stepped away from our theme of relaxing on a Tuesday...meditating...seeking our inner peace...listening to the Moody Blues and Beethoven...pondering the pulsating pattern of pulsars in the physical plane...but isn't that what Tuesdays were created for?

Reasonable facsimile of a pulsar. 

Sure they were! 

Well, have a tremendous Tuesday! Don't forget that Tuesdays are days too! Made just for YOU! Boop-boopy-doo!

Greg And Dan Unplugged
 Brought The Love!

As most of you loyal readers know, I attended the Greg and Dan Unplugged Show last Saturday night.





The reason it was "unplugged" is because they did their awesome radio show LIVE, in front of a standing room only audience, but not plugged into the WMBD radio transmitter! 



How was it, you ask? Think hilarious...think bizarre (Abraham Lincoln made an appearance), think expert performances...but most of all...wait for it...wait for it...there was LOVE!!! 



The room was filled with love from Greg and Dan fans flowing to Greg and Dan, and love flowing from Greg and Dan to the fans! 





It had as much love as that Woodstock festival we all went to, in our minds! 

That's me, way in the back!

However, since this blog is centered on ME, I've been chomping at the bit to tell you, aside from the love from Donna, my grandchildren and stuff, I felt more  love from Greg and Dan on that special night than I've ever experienced in my whole stinkin' life!!!





I honestly never expected them to play a BUNCH of my songs that I'd written for the Greg and Dan Show, and thank me in front of a roomful of witnesses! No, not Jehovah's Witnesses! 





I was hoping that when I pass on to my heavenly condo, they would play a few of my songs in remembrance of their Official Songwriter....




What a WONDERFUL SURPRISE to realize they weren't waiting for my demise!! I think I made a little poem, there!

It was a dream come true for me! The love is still pulsing through my psyche, and I'm hoping I don't wake up and realize it didn't REALLY happen. 



I just had to share the greatest day of my life with you guys!!! 

Disclaimer: When I say "greatest day of my life," I'm speaking non-family, non-spiritual, non-grandkids, non-meeting Donna days! However, in the future, if someone asks me, "what was the greatest day of your life," Feb. 15, 2020 may be the first thing to pop in my head, until I take a step back and think about the wonderful events of my personal life that cannot be measured, Although, Feb. 15, 2020 was a GREAT, SPECIAL night!!!

The popular Greg and Dan Show will be performing in front of a live, inebriated audience, at the Betty Jayne Brimmer Center For The Performing Arts  (BJCFPA) , at 1327 East Kelly, St. Peoria Heights, Il. at 7:30 pm. Feb. 15, 2020. 

This ain't gonna be their regular radio show, folks! This will be a raucous, reckless, freewheelin' frenzy of funny, frenetic frivolity!!!



Here are 10 reasons for attending this monumental event tomorrow:



1. As an additional token of your love for your significant other on the day after Valentine's Day! It never hurts to have a backup plan, unless the silk flowers didn't quite do the trick...if you know what I mean. 



2. To show Greg and Dan how grateful you are that they get up every day at 4 am to entertain us, and edify us about EVERYTHANG under the sun...from impeachment to Emo Philips...from legalized pot to pot holes...from the meaning of thrombosis to the MEANING OF LIFE!!!



3. They promise surprises! It could be like Oprah's surprises! "You get a car, and YOU get a car..." Or maybe it will be more like "you get a party horn, and YOU get a party horn..." but, HEY, it's more your gonna get at home...if you know what I mean. (wink wink)



4. Greg and Dan may reveal talents you never dreamed they possess in your WILDEST dreams! Talents that cannot be displayed on the radio! Talents that may be illegal! Talents that will blow your freakin' minds!!! Or not.



5. Adult beverages will be available at a reasonable cost, but that's not the impotent thing! Chex mix will be on the tables for FREE!! At least it was last time we were there, and I have faith it will be there tomorrow night! 



Disclaimer: The writer of this blog assumes no responsibility if you discover no Chex Mix on your table tomorrow night. I'm only going by my last experience at the Betty Jayne when they had TONS of Chex Mix on all the tables, which I readily partook of with reckless abandon!

6. You'l be able to hobnob with the Greg and Dan crew, like historian/traffic dude, Ken Zurski, the lovely newsgirl/songstress, Julia Bradley, and, hopefully, the adorable producer Corey! In addition to the rabid, fun loving Greg and Dan fans who make it all feel like one, big, warm, homespun family that makes our actual relatives seem pretty dull. 



7. We never know when "climate change" will emulsificate us into oblivion, according to "climate change advocates...




...so why not live a little before we experience "climate change" in whatever form it may take, by laughing it up at the "Greg and Dan Unplugged Show!"



8. It will give us a "take this to work with you" event to brag about! When your coworkers ask what you did over the weekend, would you rather say, "Watched TV" or "I went to the hilarious and surprise filled, Greg and Dan Unplugged Show that genuinely changed my life for the BETTER!!!"

Example of life changing event.

9. It's a good reason to try out your new GPS gadget, if you have absolutely no idea where the BJCFPA is located! Or your OLD GPS gadget. Or a map, if you have no GPS gadget, like me. Or just come to my house and follow me over there...but then you'd have to find my house and the whole rigmarole starts all over again!

10. It's the day after WMBD's birthday! You can verbally, with enthusiastic vigor, wish WMBD a happy, belated 93rd birthday, in person!! This I know! You're like me in loving the magnificent history of this iconic radio station! Right? Right? And how could you NOT love the beloved Greg and Dan Show and support their new adventure into madcap, screwball zaniness!! 



See ya there, folks!!
