The reason for the time limit was so you couldn't go back and change the entire post after people commented on your original one to make it look like people were agreeing with you on a subject other than the first one.

I used to be a member of Spoutible. They turned out to be awful except for the edit button that worked well. It was set up so you could edit your post for 10 minutes after you submitted it. They later changed it to 15.

Girl Scouts of America isn’t happy with cookie sales at a South Jersey weed dispensary

Girl Scouts in New Jersey recently sold cookies outside of a Mount Laurel marijuana dispensary. Higher-ups at Girl Scouts of America are not happy. Some scouts have been doing it for years.

The Radio Hits of 1971: A Great Year For Singles - Best Classic Bands It was an amazing year for music as rock, pop and R&B shared the airwaves. Solo hits from all four Beatles, joined 2 songs called "Superstar" near the top. What was #1?

1971 is the year I graduated from high school & started college. It was very good year for pop music. Many of these are in my record collection, some on 45 rpm others on LP.

Here's something I wrote a few months ago about Patsy's guest appearances on Arthur Godfrey's TV show including a video of the day he made a crude, sexist remark about her legs. This CD is full of her songs from that pioneer's long-running TV program. It's worth reading for the sociological aspects.

Big Country Radio Station Owner Cumulus Files For Bankruptcy... Cumulus Media, the owner of some 65 country music radio stations in the United States, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy yet again. The company first filed for bankruptcy in 2017.

This is sad. Locally produced radio is what was always popular with the masses, and I don't believe it's just country radio

Sneak of the Week: The Keys-"I Don't Wanna Cry" The Keys had every ingredient for a great 80s power pop band. But their timing was a little off. We dug this track out; it's worth a listen!

Last Albums: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - In Step (1989) A pop music blog for adults since 2005.

NEW BLOG POST: It's LAST ALBUMS time again. This installment features the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Some are bad poetry, while others spark head-scratching confusion. Still others are just plain wrong: ultimateclassicrock.com/worst-rock-l...

As highly regarded Paul is, Ringo works with some of the hipper, more current stars than Paul does these days: Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings, Lucius, Alison Krause and Larkin Poe and T-Bone Burnett on Look Up, and Linda Perry on Crooked Boy. He's quite a hip dude for 85 years old.

The Beatles are my favorites, and I love Paul. He belongs in the hall as a solo artist, but I always believed he possessed a little too much ego.

Rick McNeal, signing off Rick McNeal must have liked this vaguely raffish portrait of himself because he used it as his social media avatar. That’s good enough for me. We never met, even though both of us worked in t…

The Right Stuff is one of the best books I've ever read. Just wonderful.

I also know that many of their employees appreciate that Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sundays, but most important to me is that they make the best chicken sandwich anywhere.

What Happens To Chick-Fil-A's Leftover Chicken? What becomes of the Chick-fil-A sandwiches and nuggets that don't sell by closing time? Fortunately, that chicken doesn't just end up in the trash.

I know people who won't patronize Chick-Fil-A because of their strict pro-life stance. I understand some people's reticence. However, I just want to let people know that my favorite fast food place gives away their unsold food at the end of the day instead of throwing it away like other chains do.

This is AI? I've owned this on an album named The American in Me, but I haven't heard it in years so if this version isn't real I don't realize it.
