Every year I pause on January 13, for two reasons. One is that it is my late brother's birthday. He was the best rock 'n' roll friend I've ever had. Which brings up reason number two for pausing. It was on the day he was born that "Good Golly Miss Molly" by Little Richard was released, something he'd point out to you if he was still around. Guess what? In this dump that I call home, he is still around, and I'll be damned if he hasn't deemed it Little Richard Night. Fu-huck yeah.

Happy Birthday, Tom.
Thank you Espen. Always a little tough on this day. You woulda loved the guy. He would've loved the fact that I met someone from the other side of the world with nutty kids and a wife who hates country enough to hate Hank the 1st. He would have loved the Moondog report. And right about now he'd probably give me a playful slap and tell me to turn it up.
