Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for July 03, 2024

During the time this was set, Lunatic Fringe was a good choice.

There were only nine years between them.

Ice Ice Baby is 34 years old by the way. It’s further away from us than Rock Around The Clock was when it was released.

Shouldn’t Mini-Mandy have said “Word to OUR mother”?

I heard “Under Pressure” on the radio yesterday and pretty much disengaged from conversing with the other people in the car to sing along.

If “Ice Ice Baby” started playing on my radio, I’d be reaching for the “off” button…!

Ha! Now we dance!

It’s not helpful when intros are reused

SRV copied Fenton Robinson’s intro to “Texas Flood” note for note. People often think SRV came up with it. Robinson played on the Larry Davis original from the ’50s.

Is it wrong that I am pleased with myself to know that riff for a change without having to look it up?

“it’s got that itty-bitty ‘ting’ "

Shall you not “Go Fourth” this day? 0248 hrs CDT.

No July 4 strip yet? Or are you taking the holiday off to have fun?
