Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie released a new CD, Chuck Berry released his last CD, and Jan & Dean’s REAL Filet of Soul finally arrived …after a quite, well, fishy 52-year delay. Nevertheless, I still found ten more vintage-2017 gems to recommend to each and everyone. In, as always, strictly alphabetical order they are:

2013MissedPigIf we could all just tear ourselves away momentarily from the Zimmer Man’s Another Self Portrait, believe these words I say and tip both ears immediately towards (in absolutely NO order other than the alphabetical)…

Vernon_Penny_LaneBy the time you read this, the latest Tween wallet milking franchise, The Hunger Games: Catching Syphillis, will have opened in Octoogleplexes the world over to record breaking box office glory for a second time. Not since someone glued a lightning HungerGamesbolt to Radcliffe’s forehead or sparkles to Pattinson’s nipples has there been such a nauseating ballyhoo from teenaged girls and creepy middle-aged women. Every aspect of the movie has been gleaned, dissected and analyzed by the fodder feeding media including the outrage by fans of the books that inspired the franchise who were shocked to find out that the black characters were portrayed on screen by…black actors!

On the seat next to me was what was left of a bucket of Pioneer Take Out chicken from the little walk-up fast food outlet on Sunset Strip. It was my last stop before hitting the highway home. It was around midnight. I hadn’t eaten all day, and Pioneer made the tastiest, greasiest, chicken you could ever imagine. Next to Pioneer, KFC is flat and sadly tasteless, not to mention that when you bit into a Pioneer thigh or leg, grease squirted everywhere and the flavour of the chicken, the spices, and the breading overwhelmed you with tasty goodness…especially if you had just smoked a joint of Panama Red.
