Race Review: 2015 Lifetime Miami Marathon (1/25/2015), or: “I wanna make this journey last…”

OK, so sometimes I shouldn’t be so quick to judgment. Or rather, dig deep enough and you’ll find gold in them there hills. Or maybe even, sometimes the stars align and something’s rising or something else is in retrograde and blablabla is in the seventh house and OK I’ll get to my point now: I…

Yet another tedious mid-flight photo op, or: “Climb on the back and we’ll go for a ride in the sky…”

Album Review: “Wings at the Speed of Sound” — Wings (1976)

It’s safe to say that those who unfairly decry Paul’s solo career as lightweight, unmemorable tripe probably envision his entire career as the Wings at the Speed of Sound album.
