| 44452 | Rush (Progressive Rock band from back in the 1970's to the late 2010's) | <p> </p> <p>Guess I'll go first then. I am sooooooooooooo a huge fan of Rush. I have been since I was 15 and intend on doing so until I die. To me, they were the greatest band in the history of forever. </p> <p>As for albums, hands down, my 3 most favourites are Counterparts (Copyright 1993, Anthem Records in association with Atlantic Records), A Farewell to Kings (Copyright 1977, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records), and the misunderstood but still fantabulous Caress of Steel (Copyright 1975, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records). </p> <p>And then there's their songs. I love Something For Nothing from 2112 (copyright 1976, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records), Xanadu from A Farewell to Kings (Copyright 1977, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records), Circumstances from Hemispheres (Copyright 1978, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records), The Fountain of Lamneth from Caress of Steel (Copyright 1975, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records), Double Agent and Nobody's Hero from Counterparts (Copyright 1993, Anthem Records in association with Atlantic Records), The Stars Look Down from Vapor Trails (Copyright 2002, Anthem Records in association with Atlantic Records), Red Barchetta from Moving Pictures (Copyright 1981, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records) and The Body Electric from Grace Under Pressure (Copyright 1983, Anthem Records in association with Mercury Records). And this is just to name several songs I enjoy by them.</p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong><em>~Photo courtesy of Tumblr</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>All copyrights acknowledged where necessary</em></strong></p> | RetroSnob88 | Nov 29, 2019 | |

Yes this is the same radio hit Rock song (I just) Died In Your Arms y'all get the 'Member Berries for.

| 44450 | 1971 Cat in the Hat special | <p> </p> <p> Did you ever see The Grinch Grinches The Cat in the Hat (Copyright 1983, Marvel Productions)? It was a follow up special from the early 1980's. It was done by Marvel Productions after Isadore Friz Freleng and David H. Depatie sold their animation studio to Mr Marvel Comics himself years before he was a mainstream pop culture stable (listen to me talk about mainstream like some ironically mainstream lame-o hipster lol) Stan Lee whom was looking to acquire their studio rebranding and eventually folding it as Marvel Productions (the studio was already doing superhero cartoons for Marvel anyway like Spider-Woman and that crummy The New Fantastic Four cartoon with Herbie the Robot in lieu of The Human Torch, so Stan figured why not?). It's about how The Grinch looks at himself in the mirror only to have his reflection tell him to be mean and nasty. He does this mostly by harassing The Cat in the Hat (whom eventually loses it and no joke, calls The Grinch a psychopath. Best part of the special imo). The special was good for what it was in spite of Karloff and Sherman (the original voices of The Grinch and the Cat in the Hat) being looooooooooooooong since dead by 1983. Alternate titles also included The Grinch Meets the Cat in the Hat, and The Grinch Vs The Cat in the Hat (How appropriate consider the name of the studio that worked on it lol). Anyway, it's worth a watch. Especially to hear The Cat in the Hat be all like "That Grinch! That... THAT PSYCHOPATHIC GRINCH!!!" I really hope to God Illumination Entertainment (guys what invented Minions (Copyright 2016, Illumination Entertainment) (you know, those yellow capsule looking things that are both creepy and annoying) never remakes the special. Especially since they're already spitting on the Good Dr's grave with their lackluster cgi Seuss films</p> <p>---------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong><em>~All copyrights acknowledged where necessary </em></strong></p> | RetroSnob88 | Nov 29, 2019 | |
| 44449 | 1971 Cat in the Hat special | <p>Fun fact: Did you ever hear an old Comedy song from years ago called Hello Maddah and Faddah Camp Granada? The guy who wrote that song voiced The Cat in the Hat. The guy's name, Allen Sherman</p> | RetroSnob88 | Nov 29, 2019 | |
| 44448 | 1971 Cat in the Hat special | <p> </p> <p>Way better than that poor excuse of a film with Mike Myers we don't talk about (Dr Seuss was tossing in his grave so badly when that one came out, the executor of his estate withdrew any and all permission for future live action Seuss films. Too bad they didn't say the same thing about those horrendous cgi films) </p> <p> </p> <p>Anyway, I like how in the original special, the talking goldfish dude guy calls the feds on The Cat in the Hat lol</p> | RetroSnob88 | Nov 29, 2019 | |
| 44447 | Your avatar. | <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>And now my new avatar is of Ulysses from Ulysses 31 (it was a French Anime from back in the 1980's. I recently did an article about it as well as some other lesser known shows of yesteryear (before any European Retro Dazers flip me guff, I know Ulysses 31 was popular where you live, but such was not the case here in the United States). If you have yet to see said article, that's because I'm currently awaiting approval with great anticipation. Hope you enjoy it when you see it</p> | RetroSnob88 | Nov 29, 2019 | |

| 44445 | Thanksgiving Nostalgia & More! | <p>It was a lively bunch at our adoptive family's Thanksgiving gathering again this year. I ate everything I had hoped to so... it was a success. <br /> </p> <p><img alt="" height="480" src="http://www.retro-daze.org/upload/3CEE1E03-2781-4565-9DAA-C53A124BBD70.jpeg" width="640" /><br /> </p> <p><img alt="" height="480" src="http://www.retro-daze.org/upload/69462270-AE56-47AA-8CE2-3B2B3C879980.jpeg" width="640" /></p> | Vaporman87 | Nov 29, 2019 | |
| 44444 | Thanksgiving Nostalgia & More! | <p>I had a decent Thanksgiving. I had a nice delmonico steak. It was super thick and incredibly tender, almost like cutting into warm butter. I had potatos and a couple biscuits on the side, plus cheesecake for dessert.</p> <p>I unfortunately had to punt my dog across the house when I walked out of the bathroom and saw that he had jumped onto the counter, having gotten into the pumpkin pie.</p> <p>But other than that, a decent Thanksgiving.</p> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Nov 29, 2019 | |
