“I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Dad Central for ROGAINE®. I received a product sample and promotional item to thank me for participating.” I’ve been thinking a lot about the “Grow Your Game” initiative by ROGAINE. What does that mean? Sure, the company is using language that directly references hair growth, but there’s a lot more to…
“I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Dad Central for ROGAINE®. I received a product sample and promotional item to thank me for participating.” Contractually obligated to put that in there. As well as the #gotitfree hashtag for social media. Because there are legal issues and whatever. What am I doing with Rogaine anyway? Oh, sorry, ROGAINE. The…
Remember last week when I had a blog post about the Seahawks and Saints football game? I set up another challenge for this past weekend with regards to the Seahawks and 49ers game. Only this time the opposing team fans weren’t so eager to join in. There was some difficulty in finding a Saints fan…
It’s the first day back to the routine. The kids are back in school and I have a few hours to myself. The morning went well and nobody was late. There is a lot to write about. I have several thoughts about music. There’s the interchange I had with my youngest which I found amusing….

Tell Me Why describes George as using “delicate imagery” while using session musicians re record the music in India while the others were in England working on other…
“What Goes On” This B-side to “Nowhere Man” could easily be mistaken for a Carl Perkins cover, but it’s not. Ringo sings this song and even got partial writing credit – his first with the group, according to BeatleSongs. Tell Me Why claims the “innocuous, out-of-tune delivery” by Ringo was part of the plan with presenting the…
“Day Tripper” It might not technically be a B-side, but it was the “flip side” to “We Can Work It Out” and recorded during the sessions that produced the Rubber Soul album. The single was released for Christmas and as a result may not have been given the full attention in writing, but even then…
“You Can’t Do That” This was the B-side to “Can’t Buy Me Love” which is a certified hit, reaching number one on several charts. Tell Me Why offers up a few different takes on the meaning of the song but states the obvious about how Lennon as the singer (and sole songwriter according to BeatleSongs) is paranoid, angry,…
