I don't mean to sound like a broken record but Ziva has the rest of today's photos.

Speaking of records...

Damn... my laptop isn't broken, but it's so old that my flash player is out of date and it won't let me upload the version I need to play videos. But since I'm broke, I can't afford a new one. :-(
Laughing Mom said…
Can you sound like a broken CD?
nonamedufus said…
It's from the 60s.
nonamedufus said…
I can sing it for you...
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,
And when it was over it felt like a dream,
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream,
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain.
Did you see them, did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?
nonamedufus said…
Yeah, sure...sure...sure...sure...sure...
Boom Boom Larew said…
A private concert! Thank you!
nonamedufus said…
It is Neil Young and I don't have the whine down exactly.
meleahrebeccah said…
Oh, I just LOVE Neil Young!!
nonamedufus said…
He's one of my all time favourites too...much to my wife's dismay.
Cheryl said…
Fan-tas-tic take on this prompt! I adore Neil's voice no matter who he's singing with. I especially love him when he's solo. This is one terrific song too.
nonamedufus said…
A Neil Young fan? There's more to you than meets the eye, Cheryl.
meleahrebeccah said…
She doesn't like him? Why?
nonamedufus said…
I asked her. She says she likes Neil Young. Just not when I play him 48 hours in a row.
Linda Medrano said…
I love Neil! And I love that song!
nonamedufus said…
It's an oldie but a goodie. Like us.
Pat Kumicich said…
Bravo - love the music!
nonamedufus said…
I'm a big Neil Young fan. When I saw today's prompt this was the first thing I thought of. I know. I need a life.
Ziva said…
You know what they say about arrows and time and fruit and flies, right?
nonamedufus said…
Yeah, I do. And you forgot the banana.
ladyV said…
surely before my time. ;)
MikeWJ said…
She never forgets the banana.
MikeWJ said…
Have you heard Neil's latest, NoName? It's fairly brilliant if you like his garage band sound as much as I do. In fact, one of things I most like about Neil is that he can go everything from country acoustic to grunge in the space of a heartbeat. I'm glad that broken blood vessel he had a couple of years ago didn't kill him. He's got a lot left to contribute.
nonamedufus said…
It was Robin Williams who said "if you remember the 60s you weren't there".
nonamedufus said…
I'm waiting for it to arrive from Amazon. These days I have to be careful not to double order things on both iTunes and Amazon. Man, I'm getting old. I agree with your assessment. Did you read his autobiography? Pure Neil.
nonamedufus said…
She's talking about that wonderful Marx quote (Groucho, not the other one): Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
Barb said…
great take on the theme!
nonamedufus said…
It was a little different, wasn't it?
Jamie Baker said…
Nice job, Noname. He's supposed to be in concert here in a few days.
nonamedufus said…
Here too but I'm taking a pass. I've seen him 3 times in the last 3-4 years.
Broken record... PERFECT!
mike said…
That's so funny. Like, 2 weeks ago I finally copied my Decade disks to my computer. Best Neil Young collection there is.
nonamedufus said…
It's his early stuff. Yeah, it's a great collection. I'm looking forward to the next instalment of his Archives.
nonamedufus said…
Broken record was me. Broken Arrow was him.
Monique Renae said…
Aww Neil Young!! I have his stuff on CD but have yet to transfer them over to my computer. Thank you for the reminder.
nonamedufus said…
I have somewhere in the area of 3,000 CDs and LPs. Do you know how long that might take me to digitize them? Did you know neil was working on a sonically superior digital download application. Yeah, it's called Pono. Sounds cool... http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/neil-young-expands-pono-digital-to-analog-music-service-20120927

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
