PHILADELPHIA! NIGHT OUT FOR BLACK PISTOL FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dinner at Silk City on Garden Spring in Philly

I had their special: Cioppino Seafood Stew and an IPA

This is where I went wrong. I also had Cream & Sugar Coffee ICE CREAM from Jeni’s ice cream. I wasn’t going to have anything but then . . . the moment with the family took me to the dessert of ice cream glory on a waffle cone.

Late Night

I enjoyed two more IPAs at the concert.

240 days until EXIT PLAN

Mother’s Day on Sunday / Hanging with some friends on Saturday night / and tonight is something special for my family: Black Pistol Fire at the Foundry in Philly! The kids are coming. Elliott’s 2nd real concert. Violet’s 1st one. Kevin and Eric – we’re the parents with the 2 little ones.

Music News: Eminem and Dolly Parton are in for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Like both of them. The class is rounded out by Duran Duran, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon, Pat Benatar, and Eurythmics. Some of my favorites who were nominated but didn’t make the cut: Beck, A Tribe Called Quest, and Rage Against the Machine

New Music Friday:

  • I talked about not having it this last Friday, but we did get the song this past week. I’m talking about “Hold My Hand” – the new song from Lady Gaga that she made for the new Tom Cruise movie Top Gun: Maverick, which is out for Memorial Day weekend on May 27th
  • Awolnation dropped their full album – Today – the single that is being pushed is “Take a Chance on Me” which features Jewel. Yes – that’s the ABBA song. This new collaboration album, My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers And Me contains 11 tracks with help from Hanson, Rise Against, Grouplove, Jewel, Brandon Boyd from Incubus, and Beck. I saw that a song from the late 90s that I enjoyed “Flagpole Sitta” was redone. Definitely, an upbeat fun album that can be played through and through this weekend. Again, it’s called My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers & Me from Awolnation.
  • Last night, A$AP Rocky released a video to accompany his new song track “D.M.B.,” which features him and Rihanna — prior to her pregnancy. In the video, Rocky wears grills on his teeth that say, “MARRY ME?” Rihanna’s teeth, in turn, bear the message, “I DO.” Teeth jewelry making the proposal. Who’s says romance is dead? Oh yea, the acronym for the song “DMB” is “Dat’s My B****h”. Click here for the video.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVE and HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO! – wish I could join everyone who is going out and about today to celebrate. Good ole days – Reminds me of my radio days where my job was to go to a bar, broadcast live – all while drinking, eating nachos, and hanging with people that enjoyed the music I was playing.

I ran and it hurt again. Yesterday was a lower body workout. My quads, calves, you name it were burning when I woke. That app with Igor Voitenko – well, worth my ten bucks for the month.

Otherwise, with the LoCARB & MEATY MAY – I’m feeling good / Weighing all my foods / Avoiding sugar. We were over at my parents house (Nana & Pop’s) because our washer is broke, so that’s what you do – hey guys – please welcome us every day until the repair guy can visit us in July. My daughter comes with me and hits the candy dish. You know if you have one, you want another and then another. I was good. She wasn’t, but she did get some for her big brother – so that was nice.

PODCAST TUESDAY!

I’m sorry, but Tim Ferriss did it again. He had Tom Morello on from Rage Against the Machine / Audioslave and so much more.

Joe Strummer of the Clash
Are you taking over or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards or are you going forwards?

The book he gives out the most – Watership Down by Richard Adams

In a way, he does have his very own podcast on SiriusXM and I’ve talked about it before: Tom Morello’s One Man Revolution on Lithium
