Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 2 Jan

Today it’s music first as I alternate between the list of people I’m paying tribute to this month. Most of these acts didn’t get headline news, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t important. Today’s musician was a Rock and Roll...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 5 Oct

Not to make you feel old or anything, but… I say that a lot when it comes to music. Every year I do those anniversary songs (50, 60 and now 70 year old songs) in conjunction with my birthday (to make ME feel old...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86713) • United States 21 May 19

I guess I’ll be in trouble with today’s entry from the countdown of favorites from 40 years ago. Why? Because it’s “only” #9 on the countdown. Sorry, John. I know yesterday’s and today’s would probably be 2-1 on your...

Rule Breakers of the World Unite

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43602) • Denver, Colorado 13 Mar 18

I have a steadfast rule when I do music countdowns: I never exceed 10 songs or artists. It sometimes makes it quite difficult to pare a list down to ten, but that's part of the fun. I am about to break my own rule. Shortly, I...

Early Comics

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 5 Aug 17
