When was the last time you received a personal email? It seems to be strictly for businesses now.

Last night I dreamed I was dating Milana Vayntrub, a role for which I’m much too old, but this was a dream so I wasn’t. Or I might have been acting opposite Ms. Vayntrub in a rom-com. It’s a bit blurry. In either case, it was a pleasant dream.

It's #BandcampFriday once again. What's on your shopping list? I will humbly mention that my music is still there, as well as that of my Celtic band, The Boston Harbor Bhoys. eddiebiggins.bandcamp.com thebostonharborbhoys.bandcamp.com

I don't make perfect music. I love the little mistakes that crop up in almost everything I release. The drum beat that's just a bit off in the second verse, but that makes the track more interesting. The guitar solo with a wrong note that turns out to be exactly the right one. Accidents are human.

There’s a Tremfya commercial that starts “Like a relentless weed…” and every time I hear those first two words, my brain thinks “Like a grand and miraculous spaceship…” #spaceshipearth #epcot

It’s #BandcampFriday again and I have two new/old somethings to share! A ballad written in 1981 called "Did I Really Say 'I Love You?'" and a song from 2010 called "If It's Not" featuring Paul Sullivan on conga. As always, my songs are “pay what you want.” eddiebiggins.bandcamp.com/music

I’m thinking of renaming my Substack to “Nobody Cares What I Have To Say But I’m Saying It Anyway.” It's currently "Music and Musings" but I found a YouTube channel and more than one blog with that name. The change would also allow me write about any crap that comes into my head. Thoughts?

My Alzheimer’s-affected wife’s speech is mostly unintelligible these days, but earlier tonight she spoke really slowly, like she was trying to make sure it came out right: “I am so happy to have you guys.”

As I’ve gotten older, the bane of my existence has become bending down. If everything I need could just be between hip height and slightly over the head, that would be great.

I think that real musicians should start covering AI songs and claiming authorship. Let’s see how the AI “songwriters” feel about having their work stolen. #songwriting #AImusic

Watching a late episode of The Love Boat, featuring The Love Boat Mermaids (Teri Hatcher was one) and had a question. Was cruise entertainment back then really as bad as this?

This has always been one of my favorite cereals, but I question the audacity of the person at Quaker who tasted this and decided it should be called “Life.”

Ok I remember when wearing a sweater with the sleeves around your neck was a thing, but wtf is this? 🤣

Listening to Neil Diamond’s “I Am I Said” and there’s a line referring to LA that says “palm trees grow and rents are low.” Certainly not now!

If you ever start thinking that people are not as stupid as you thought they were, a few minutes on Reddit will rid you of that notion. I always get a few good laughs there.

When you’re a #caregiver for someone with #Alzheimers, as I am, you’re advised not to correct them when they make mistakes. Instead, you try to meet them where they are. It isn’t always easy. I wrote this song yesterday. It’s called “To Meet You Where You Are.” youtu.be/ykA-p64n7JE?...

Our doorbell doesn’t work. It hasn’t for a while, so I covered it with duct tape. I can’t tell you how many delivery people try to ring it anyway. Then when they get no answer, they call me. Have people not heard of knocking? Do I have to leave instructions?

I’m stuck in the rehab facility where my wife is, and her roommate is watching “The Young and the Restless.” So far I haven’t seen any characters I would classify as “young.” But I guess “The Middle-Aged and the Restless” isn’t very catchy.

I’m happy to report that there are no Sinclair stations in Massachusetts. There are, however, two Nexstar stations in Springfield, though neither is an ABC affiliate. They are WWLP (channel 22) and its repeater station WFXQ-CD (channel 28.)

On talk shows, if they're doing any sort of educational interview, every question asked is followed by the expert saying, "That's a great question." Just once I'd like to hear them say "What a dumb question!" They can't all be great questions.
