Strawberry Letter 23 (Shuggie Otis Turns 70)

Full disclosure: I don’t know that I ever would have done a post on Shuggie Otis (b. 1953), all things remaining the same, though indeed I did do a post on his legendary father Johnny Otis. The reason for this post is that Shuggie’s best known song has been driving me crazy for days, and I can’t get it out of my head. Granted, the song is over 50 years old and I’ve known it well ever since its…

Torey Lanez Flamed on Social Media over Transfer Mugshot

All the world is a stage. Even if it's backstage.

Link to photo source *caution, offensive language in images below Tory Lanez’s new mugshot was released after he was transferred to North Kern State Prison in Delano, California. Staying true to form and despite the his dire circumstances, @theshaderoom fans read the rapper for filth anyway. Lanez, born as Daystar Peterson, appealed his 10-year prison sentence and filed a motion to receive…

Daily writing promptWhat would your life be like without music?View all responses Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com My life would be bland, dull, dark and horrible. Music inspires, motivates, and connects people from any and all backgrounds. What a life it would be… One I would want no parts of.

The Vaudeville of Ike and Tina Turner

Tina Turner (Anna Mae Bullock, 1939-2023) passed away back on May 24. This was too momentous for a hasty, ad hoc memoriam, so I opted to wait and do a more thoughtful tribute on her birthday. Her vilified ex Ike Turner (Izear Luster Turner Jr., 1931-2007) was also born in November. Most celebrity obits are superficial in the extreme, merely reminding readers of supposed high points and low…

Decibel Boost Album Roundup (MAK Music Version): MARCH

Music for March!! Yeah, it's a long one!

I had a feeling this would happen. January and February were such dry months for music and when it got to March…. It increased! By a lot! So, not only was this month packed with music, it’s in the double digits. Granted, I covered months that had a bunch of albums (i.e. June 2018) larger than this but still, there were some records that I took time to listen to. Hell, most of them were EPs so it…

Throwback: R.I.P. Rudolph Isley

Throwback: R.I.P. Rudolph Isley @isleybrothers

I was working on the previous post when I learned that The Isley Brothers‘ Rudolph Isley died. He was 84. The Isley Brothers were — and are — one of the most important and legendary R&B/soul outfits to ever do it. They’ve gone through several distinct periods: They began as a gospel group before making a name for themselves performing R&B in the mid 50s. By the early 70s, they morphed into a funk…
