Maybe rust never sleeps but if the Department of Morality doesn’t get her afternoon nap you don’t want to be participating in that sleep deprivation experiment. When I saw the name “Rust Never Sleeps” I immediately thought of the Neil Young album.* Classic Canadian...
While watching Dallas getting their lunch, breakfast and dinner handed to them by the 49ers last night, I needed some spirits to lift my spirits. Sunday night football spirit raising sounded like a job for the Church. It just so happens that my neighbourhood church is...
Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey wrote the iconic song “Take It Easy”* and it became the breakthrough hit for the Eagles. Browne said he didn’t know the Eagles had recorded it until he heard it on the radio. By the way, I like Browne’s version better. Rock n roll...
Time to put some Crank in the tank. Crank seems like a pretty versatile word. As a noun it could be the crank shaft in your car, an annoying eccentric person, a bad-tempered grouch, or an impure form of crystal meth! As a verb you can crank a crank and you can crank...

Do you think it’s cultural appropriation when Americans talk hockey? Me too. Big Deal is a supposedly a NY brewery, but in this case the one doing the talking is Canadian. Former Penguin/Coyote Paul Bisonnette is part of the Spittin’ Chiclets* podcast and apparently...
Riverhead has stated in writing that this beer is “guaranteed to put a smile on your face”. Perhaps they are unaware of who they are dealing with. Cranky is the operative word. As in cantankerous, ill-tempered and belligerent. And while we are at it, let’s get...
When I think of Moonstruck I think of a big hair Cher lighting up the screen in a role that seemed custom made for her*, with Dean Martin singing “When the moon hits your eye…”** in the background. Now that’s amore. Is it really acting if you play a spot-on version...
A coast-to-coast toast to the host with the most. Happy Drink Beer Day Canada! I did notice that it is not drink a beer day. Are they are suggesting that a two for one would be more fun than one and done? Or am I just overthinking my drinking? On this auspicious...
