Week 34 – Think Bensonium

Day 238: Won’t Get Fooled Again, The Who

Hope this sentiment holds for the USA and that they are never fooled again by a charlatan like Trump. For that matter, I also hope that our Trump-like prime minister’s time is also short and we can finally rid ourselves of our aberrant nationalistic hard right wing Conservative Party.

Day 237: Werewolves of London, Warren Zevon

Roderick Benson — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

One of those songs everyone has heard and knows. Surprise they didn’t use this song for the American Werewolves in London movie.

Day 236: Already Gone, The Eagles

Time for more Eagles I feel. I remember seeing the Eagles in concert back in the day when George Bush junior was President. They introduced this song by stating that they hoped Bush would already been gone by the time the next Presidential election came along. Seeing Trump thankfully fall from power yesterday, reminded me of this song.

Day 235: Paperback writer

Roderick Benson — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Always enjoy finding Beatles videos on Youtube because there aren’t many of them. I guess I can relate to this song as I too have written a paperback although its not really “a dirty story about a dirty man” ????

Day 234: Back in the chain gang, The Pretenders

Roderick Benson — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

First Pretenders song of Covid Island Disc. One of those songs that I think many people know and have heard played many times on their radios.

Day 233: The Monster Mash, Bobby Pickett

Roderick Benson — Sun, 08 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Wow who remembers this classic? Ha he sounds a bit like Rees Mogg. Should have posted this a week ago for halloween but sadly that was the day Sean Connery died.

Day 232: Don’t bring me down, Electric Light Orchestra

Roderick Benson — Sat, 07 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

A classic rock song and great to dance to. Love the piano and guitar riff. ELO not the greatest band lyrically but a great band for producing some really rocky songs.
