Greg And Dan Show Played ANOTHER Song Of Mine Today! Not Bragging...REALLY!!

Here's the song they played.

I know that every time I share a song I wrote, or something they played on the radio that I composed, many folks think I'm BRAGGING! 

Well, I don't really KNOW that, but I imagine people thinking I'm bragging, because of that paranoia issue I struggle with daily. 

FYI, the reason I share this stuff on the radio, YouTube and Fazebook is because even at 3 score and 10 years of age I STILL believe some big music producer, super star band member, movie mogul, or a rich philanthropist who likes bizarre entertainment will inadvertently hear it, and I'll make a billion pazoozas!

For instance, Ray Liotta comes to Peoria to visit relatives, he inadvertently (I know I already used that word, but it fits) hears one of my songs on the local radio station (namely WMBD's The Greg And Dan Show) and voilà, he LOVES it, and I'm an overnight success!!!!

It all boils down to bucks, not bragging! The water heater is not getting any younger, the garage roof has holes bigger than the Mariana Trench, or should that be DEEPER than the Mariana Trench? You know what I'm getting at. Medical bills are piling up. So a lucrative recording contract, royalty check from ASCAP, or high paying movie role is my highway to financial security, even though I'm a septungenarion already! I never could spell septuagenarian!

Greg And Dan Show Airs My New Song!

This photo was taken on a Christmas visit to the Greg and Dan show, and it was about 30 lbs ago!

I'm using a sophisticated font today, because I'm being more serious than usual. 

This morning the Greg and Dan radio show played one of my ridiculous songs again. 

You may listen to the song whilst reading my blog.

I LOVE them for doing that! They don't have to do it. They do it out of the goodness of their hearts! 

They deserve a "Way To Go Todd" for that!

If you don't know what "Way To Go Todd" means, you need to listen to the show every day at 6:25 in the morning... CST!

I'm an old, feeble, unimpotent, half-crazed little dude, and Greg and Dan have played my bizarre stuff, on the airways, mind you, for many moons, now...many many moons!!

Just taking a little tom to thank them!!!

Out Of This World Wednesday

Is Earth Worthy Of Saving? (Continued)

Our Glirkazoid friends are still debating on whether to save the earth and it's billions of inhabitants, or let it go the way of Zoranthelup, a planet that REALLY sucked and was deserving of annihilation.

As Rosie enumerates the pros of planet earth, Gary lists the cons. 

Rosie - "A pro would be Louie Armstrong. He is so sweet! I love that song about a wonderful world!"

Gary - "A con would be, he's pushin' up daisies, and there is no one like him on earth, anymore!"

Rosie - What? He's dead already? He was so young!"

Gary - "Folks on earth don't live as long as Glirkazoids, girl! Whilst we live thousands of years, they kick the bucket at about a century or less, which is ANOTHER reason to let the coronavirus, riots, storms, hurricanes and politicians destroy the whole bunch of them! They will never, ever reach our greater level of intelligence in that short of time!"

Rosie - "Have you?"

Gary - "What?"

Rosie -  "Never mind. A positive thing about earth creatures is they are FUNNY!! The entertainment value is golden!"

Gary - "I have to agree with a you there, Rosie. I've been watching old episodes of Impractical Jokers and laughing my tussie off!!"

Rosie - "So, do you agree that earth is worth saving, buddy?"

Gary - "Not yet. Don't forget about the stupid Teletubbies that earth lifeforms created!!"

My, my! I was hoping for the saving of earth and it's peculiar population, but now, with this Teletubbie situation, who knows?

Why not join us for our next episode of...

and find out if we still exist...or not!

Writer's Block Is For Pathetic Wimps!

Writer's block? I NEVER have writer's block! It's just that I've got other important things to do around here, like watering the garden and flowers, mowing, weed whipping, doing the dishes, walking Chevy-dog, writing songs, recording songs, buying beer, drinking beer, napping, listening to the iconic Greg and Dan radio show, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!

Shoot fire, I could write 'till the cows come home, or shoot cows 'till the writers come home! 

Never am I at a loss for worms! Even though I never go fishin' anymore, except for comments from readers! (hint , hint)

By the way, what's all this commotion about sports deprivation!

I hate to belittle and put down folks who have writer's block, but I think they are pathetic wimps! My slogan is, "when the writing gets tough, the tough keep writing!" 

Let's face it, there are a gazillion things to opine on, like pine trees, the late, great singer, John Pine, pineapples, pining your heart away, a pint of milk, knotty pine, etc. etc. etc.

Yes, I know it's John PRINE, but that didn't fit the narrative. 

What narrative you ask, so confusedly? 

WRITER'S BLOCK!! Haven't you been listening?!! Or, um, I mean, READING? Please try and keep up, as I flow into my captivating conclusion.

In conclusion my fellow Americans, never fear if you have no beer, don't shed a tear, act odd or queer, just look in the mirror, and you will see, a poor old soul who's drinking tea, for when you have no Ultra Mick, it's bad enough to make you sick, but glory days are up ahead, when you go and see to your neighbor Fred, who always has a brew or two, and never fails to share with you, and don't you ever watch the clock, and worry 'bout your writer's block.
