What’s Up/What’s Going On (4 Non-Blondes)

Music and Video Stuff

I didn’t have any particular attraction to this song when it first came out as a single in what, 1993? I also don’t recall any extraordinary lingering of the song on the charts, on the playlists, radio, etc., after. But I dunno, it seems like there was some minor resurgence of its popularity thru its play in movies or TV series or something (specifically my recollection was in the series Sense 8).…

From My Perspective

I was googling Honolulu events for the next month in anticipation of visitors. I came across this article called Remembering Rap: A New Book Tells the Story of Hawai‘i Humorist Rap Reiplinger in Honolulu Magazine. I gotta get the book. I’m a forever fan of Rap and an admirer of his work. To this day Lou and can be heard in the house, and Rhonda and I at work, mimicking many of his routines and skits.…

From My Perspective

I forget if it was Guam’s todaysrealty realtors that posted this or something else. But it caught my attention. The Plumeria Hotel in Mongmong/Maite. t’s been there since as far back as I can remember, back into my earliest childhood memories.

Kids, what were your PARENTS doing?

From My Perspective, Now THAT'S Entertainment

I was doing a search a few days ago for something that, I don’t know, had American and Online as tags, and Bing came up with America Online, as in AOL. I hadn’t seen the old AOL logos and screenshots of their actual screens in ages. Yeah, yeah, our family got into AOL back in the day when they were a “formidable service provider”.…
