Spotify provides a summary of your listening preferences at the end of each year. Each year my family compares our personal summaries. My kids told me I need a life: 😊

I revisited this one the other night with my son, after everyone else had gone to bed. I had forgotten how great a movie Jacob’s Ladder is. Not a horror movie exactly, not a war movie exactly, and not a thriller exactly. It’s a little bit of everything, and it works rather well. A great performance by a young Tim Robbins, and an equally great performance by the late Elizabeth Peña - but the one that really steals the show is Danny Aiello. Some downright creepy moments, but no cheap jump-scares. The cinematography is absolutely amazing, and the score mirrors the film to a “T”. Also one of the greatest twists of an ending, and I’ll for warn you - this is one if the 5 or so movies that actually makes me cry a bit at the end... Emotionally powerful stuff, and a timeless message.

Not Spotify, but this would be my #1 listen over the course of the year...

Ratt Round and Round

My last job for about a year and a half gave me a lot of drive time. I found myself abandoning music in the truck for audiobooks first, then I “discovered” podcasts. What a new an interesting world! In fact, I find myself ALMOST missing the drive time now, because I’m behind on my favorites: The Joe Rogen Experience - I can’t stand Rogen as the UFC commentator, but I thoughly enjoy his podcast. He has a WIDE array of guests, from Neil Degrass Tyson, Jordan Peterson, Bret Weinstein, Rosanne, Ron White, and on and on. Definately my favorite pod cast. Ben Shapiro - excellent analysis and delivery of what you need to know daily. what are your favorites?

Stevie Ray Vaughan LIVE At Montreaux 1985 (FULL CONCERT 1080p Remastered)

I recently tried the Ron Burgundy Podcast with high expectations... I guess they expect you to be "high" when listening to it because I find it un-listenable! Not funny at all! That's the problem with expectation.
