Bad Music Joke(s) of the Week

After this week, Bad Music Joke of the Week will be no more...

Don't be surprised if I post a bad music joke now and then here, however. You likely will find some other music humor here as well from time to time.

I've been posting the Bad Music Joke of the Week for years.

That's a lot of Bad Music Jokes.

Accordingly, there is a lengthy archive of Bad Music Jokes of the Week available on my website for your perusal.

Pardon my website - it is currently under massive renovation. As you can tell, it could use it. For the most part it works, however. You might find some music stuff there you like, what the heck...

Anyway, a listing of jokes is a listing of jokes, period, what more can you do with it? or would want to? Right?

Playing Music Makes You Smart

Playing Music Makes You Smart - Yahoo! News (Live Science)

This is a bit like preaching to the choir, but...

We always knew that making music is good for you, in many ways, right?

New Music Stuff

Check out, especially, the Music Merchandise section of Music Stuff & More - new shirts for kids, Women's Plus Size, and more new (and old)items added.

Also, my basic black-and-white piano keyboard graphic is now available in an improved size and on a transparent background (which means it can now be on dark shirts - not only black, but many colors, even red).

Grammy Awards Tonight (& Prince)

Yahoo's Grammy Coverage "Central"

http://www.grammy.com/ - the offical Grammy website

http://www.apple.com/itunes/ - yes, the Apple iTunes store. iTunes has Grammy coverage, too, of course (Grammy-nominated samples and downloads).

Speaking of iTunes, re my mention of Prince above, I've got my iTunes running listening to Prince's "Baby I'm a Star" as I write. Anyway, about Prince, didn't he do a great half-time show at the Super Bowl? Real trooper Prince was performing in the pouring rain. I did pick up on the irony of his performing "Purple Rain" under the circumstances. Perfect.

Poop on those people who bothered to try to make something dirty out of Prince's performance. I think it's *their* minds that are dirty. Jeez. (Yes, I know Prince's has had his naughties in the long-ago past. Again - jeez. Sometimes people just seem compelled to look for the negative.)

Anyway - I'm looking forward to the Grammys tonight. I've even got some of the music - listening now to a song from John Mayer's "Continuim" as I now write. Got Mayer's music video for "Waiting for the World to Change." Also have a couple of Red Hot Chili Pepper's songs from their nominated "Stadium Arcadium", listening to "Snow (Hey Oh)" now - I listen to this one over and over, and over and over. (BTW, what the heck are the lyrics about? Whatever.)

Gee, I'm even missing "Desperate Housewives" in order to watch the Grammys...

Enjoy.

P.S.: John Mayer had better win something, as he's nominated multiplily, and is certainly talented and deserving. BTW, a relative? Who knows? Would be at most a distant in-law, such as a cousin-in-law. He does look like the Mayer branch of our family... ?
