A numeric correction is needed for the #1001CoverSongs challenge -- it just occurred to me that in the tumult of last week, I never posted Song # 717 on Wednesday the 30th. Without further ado, here's the Serfmen staggering along on Ronnie Love's "Chills and Fever." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyiu...

The biggest claim to fame made by Carlo Mastrangelo (October 5, 1937 - April 4, 2016) would be his tenure in Dion & the Belmonts, but we shouldn't overlook his version of the Merry Macs' '40s pop ditty "Mairzy Doats." #1001CoverSongs Song # 729: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvsn...

I'm not one to taunt visitors to Dodger Stadium, but if I saw a Braves fan doing that chop shit like I saw a few doing when the bases got loaded a few minutes ago I'd still be jawboning them now; somebody needs to make those white supremacy shitheels call stadium security out of fear.
