Tweet The 80s was, for the most part, a dreadful decade in more ways than one. Reaganomics, that dumb trickle down theory that was considered to make the entire US of A wealthy. I think we all know that the reaganomy didn’t trickle very far at all. Later that decade, in 1988, Dubya’s Daddy, . . . → Read More: My Love-Hate Decade-The 80s-Some Thoughts From That Time–Saturday Nite Tags: Heavy Metal, pop culture, rock music, the 80s | Category: Saturday Nite Nostalgia, What's old is New again |

I don’t like heavy metal as much as I used to during my youth. However, since he died this week and he does have a place in rock ‘n’ roll history.

| Trackback for this entryTweet Following this rather interesting debacle of an election result in Britain last Thursday night, I thought it fitting to do tonight’s edition of Saturday Nite Nostalgia with the British Invasion; a rock n’ roll movement that exclusively belonged to the Americans until the mid-1960s. Officially, The Beatles kicked it off on February 7, . . . → Read More: Sixties With a Spot of Tea-British Invasion–Saturday Nite Nostalgia Tags: British Invasion, classics, nostalgia, rock music | Category: Personal, Saturday Nite Nostalgia, What's old is New again |

Following the departure of Keith Relf and Jim Carty from The Yardbirds in 1968, Page wanted to continue with them, ostensibly to continue unfulfilled touring dates. He had recruited (you guessed it!) Robert Plant on vocals and . . . → Read More: Jimmy Page-The Led Zeppelin Years-Saturday Nite Nostalgia Tags: nostalgia, rock music, the classics | Category: Personal, Saturday Nite Nostalgia, What's old is New again |

In fact, I don’t even feel like doing any light research for comedy clips, or funny stories in politics or bios and anecdotes about my favourite musicians.

| Trackback for this entryTweet I would ordinarily do nostalgia on Saturdays and who knows? I just may do another one tomorrow as I had planned another Janis Joplin evening with some more stories and songs about the Pearl, herself. Funny how best laid plans go to pot.

| Trackback for this entryTweet Earlier this week, Antonia Z blogged about girl groups of days’ past. It got me to thinking that I should do a Saturday Nite Nostalgia edition about Janis Joplin, the Pearl herself. My favourite female singer of all time.
