Dad Fuel – Week 1 Analysis
I know full well this might be a placebo effect, but Dad Fuel for breakfast feels life-changing. Trust me. I get it. If I lived in a small town in Iowa in the early 1950s and a true, actual snake oil salesman came to… Continue Reading “Dad Fuel – Week 1 Analysis”
The Dawn of Don and Dad Fuel
Today was my first day of Dad Fuel. A couple months ago I read something or listened to a Podcast (go ahead, my whole family laughs at me, too) and it said, “the best way to take ‘greens’ type drinks is first thing in… Continue Reading “The Dawn of Don and Dad Fuel”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #6: Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
In the ’80s, teenagers were faced with a musical fork-in-the-road. Before the ’80s, it was a Top-40 dominated world and most artists tried to make songs that landed them in the American Top-40.
