Four Walls @FourWalls (90032) • United States 28 Apr 25

Along with the celebration of songs that are now 60 years old I’m celebrating the songs that came out the year I did, 1960. Some of these songs look a lot better at 65 than I do. Here’s one of the most enduring acts...

We Interrupt This Monday for an Important Announcement

Four Walls @FourWalls (90032) • United States 28 Apr 25

That loud noise you heard last night was me. That’s when I saw the news that Warren Zevon has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He’s been inducted in the “influence” category. Other inductees include the...

Half Over

Four Walls @FourWalls (90032) • United States 29 Apr 25

The day is half done. Not just in terms of the time, either. My brother’s surgery went fine. He was in his room, griping that he couldn’t find anything on TV, less than two hours after the surgery started. He’s...

You’ve all been through a day like today, so I won’t pretend I’m the first one to ever have “one of those days.” I’m glad it’s over. There were lots of blessings, believe it or not. We had a lot of memories and stories swapped...

1965 Top Ten Songs: Yesterday (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (90032) • United States 30 Apr 25

Oh, come on, what did you think would top the list of songs that are now 60 years old? Listen, I’m crazy but I’m not nuts! For the last time, let’s go back to 1965 and the song that I think shines brightest from...

May Day!! It’s Thurby, which means LEAVE TOWN. The people come in, and I go out! I’m sure that’s true of a lot of places. My doctor told me she used to live across the street from Grant Park in Chicago, where Lollapalooza was...

Tragedy and War

Four Walls @FourWalls (90032) • United States 1 May 25

Sometimes I think it’s a misnomer to refer to the 1861-65 War Between the States as “THE Civil War.” There have been a number of wars in the United States that had nothing to do with secession. I went to the site of one...

1975 Songs: Bad Blood

Four Walls @FourWalls (90032) • United States 2 May 25

We’re getting into a really BAD time here in the look back at 1975. Yes, three days of songs with “bad” in the title. Two of them were #1 songs, so if you were around 50 years ago, you probably remember them. Let’s...

Four Walls @FourWalls (90032) • United States 3 May 25

Yesterday I warned you that we’d have a string of songs with “bad” in the title. Two of the songs made it all the way to #1. This is the flop. I’m sure NJ Chic will agree, given how this is her favorite band. ...

Just My Two Cents On Media Ethics

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3618) • United States 12h

It's absolutely sickening to me how much spin there is in media these days. It's like some people are allergic to just giving straight facts. It's no wonder so many people can't tell fact from fiction anymore. Many so called...

John Roberts News has become wearisome. Journalists need to stop proclaiming they are a "noble" profession whereas journalism has always been deceitful and corrupt. The term "yellow journalism" was coined in the 1800s for that reason.
