Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy (1977)

Oh no. I just heard on Mark's show that Andrew Gold passed away. His two hits, "Lonely Boy" and "Thank You For Being a Friend" were such radio mainstays in my Wonder Years. Hearing those songs always brings me back to those summer days in family car trips, or riding bikes with my pals or poring over the new Radio Shack catalog up in the attic. Thanks Andrew, for that and more.

Rest in Peace.

MR TEPCO - A Musical News Flash!

A tribute to the 'Fukushima 50', those brave souls fighting the odds at the nuclear power plant, as well as Dickie Goodman and his 1976 hit "Mr. Jaws" which inspired this tribute.
Also, dedicated to all those volunteers and professionals who are working around the clock to help victims of the earthquake, tsunami and radiological emergency. Heroes, all. 

Help Save Japan!
