Shayla
I’ve always been a fan of Blondie and love all of their well-known songs such as Heart of Glass, Dreaming, Atomic, and many more. However, there’s this one obscure song that really captivates me still to this day. It’s called Shayla and it’s about a woman who loses her job at a factory. The music…
She’s Not Just a Pretty Face
Maybe it’s because I have a daughter now (three years old), but I view women differently than I used to. Most men, especially Italians I’m afraid, look at women as these objects of beauty. While there’s nothing wrong with admiring the beauty in females, it’s wrong to ever objectify them in such a manner. Whenever…
Tragedy
I remember this oldie from John Hunter called “Tragedy”. I always thought he sounded a lot like Leo Sayer whom I liked a lot. Cute song and video. Simple story about how your tragedy can turn into a happy ending unexpectedly.

Based on writing from the narrator, Jean Sheppard and directed by Bob Clark (from Porky’s fame!), it’s become a national Christmas classic. Much like “It’s a Wonderful Life” became a Christmas tradition thanks to reruns on television, A Christmas Story followed the same…
Dying is Easy, Comedy is Hard
One of my pet peeves about the Academy Awards (there are many!) is the ridiculous anti-comedy bias the members have towards movies that are comedies and the actors that star in them. It’s almost as if they believe it’s just harder to act in a drama. Any actor will tell you that performing in a…
