Okee dokee folks…We had a blizzard. Wasn’t that fun? This latest storm was like the Super Bowl for the local TV weather folks. They love to hype them. Milk and bread, baby — they must be getting kickbacks. I don’t mind the snow, but I don’t like the hype. Yes, it is a LOT of […]
Okee dokee folks… Welcome back to the Dark Ages. Here is a brief synopsis of what went on then: economic and cultural deterioration, ignorance and lack of reasoning, disease, corrupt religion and superstition, and a general backwardness. The only way to stop this from progressing is to resist and revolt. Why am I putting this […]
Okee dokee folks… If your ears are ringing then someone is talking about you. That is an old wives tale. If your ears are ringing, it is not really a good thing. My ears ring because I have tinnitus and it sucks. I am not sure what the cause is. I have tried over the […]
Okee dokee folks… I had the chance to talk with comedian Lewis Black the other day. Here is our conversation. Special thanks to Lori Mars for transcribing the interview! John Fuzek: Hi, It’s John from Motif in Rhode Island. Lewis Black: Oh, yes, Rhode Island. JF: You say that kind of funny. LB: Well, I’ve just been talking […]
Okee dokee folks … I had the privilege of seeing Norah Jones at Veterans Memorial Auditorium last Thursday night. The concert was sold out and I managed to get last minute tix to the show. Providence was bustling and parking was tight. We parked at the mall garage, but it was a bit difficult to orient […]
Okee dokee folks… I am wondering if I should make a New Year’s resolution this year. I never do. I do, however, NEED to get organized. I live in a state of perpetual chaos. Maybe that is good, especially now, because I think things are going to get very chaotic in a few weeks. I […]
Okee dokee folks … I had the opportunity to experience the musical Once on its first night of a four-show run at the Providence Performing Arts Center. I needed to let it percolate in my brain for a few days and contemplate what I really thought about the show before I wrote this. Initially I […]
Okee dokee folks … On Black Friday I woke up to find 55 e-mails in my inbox. Out of the 55, only three were from actual people. The others were advertisements. BUY, BUY, BUY!!! I admit that I do like to buy things. I am a musician and we all have what is known as G.A.S. – […]
Okee dokee folks … Over the past few months I have been preoccupied with three things: my health (I had bronchitis and it took foooooooooooorever to get over), the election (we all know how that turned out, don’t need to talk about that) and the Ten Year Anniversary Show for my band, Forever Young. Yeah, […]
Okee dokee folks … Daylight Savings Time will end in a few days. I heard a lot of jokes that involve Daylight Savings and politics, most involving setting the country back in time to the 1950s. I am sure we are all tired of politics now, and I don’t have very high hopes for this […]
