Pet Shop Boys: What have I?
Let’s face it, I am not the key demographic for the Pet Shop Boys. And by that I mean, I am not at all into synth dance music. I would also mention that I am not a homosexual, but that is not always integral in listening or appreciating what Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have…

Stevie Ray Vaughan: You can Change It
My first impression of Stevie Ray Vaughan was that he did not have a real singing voice. It was one of those voices that people who were real good at something else, like writing (Dylan, Leonard Cohen), guitar (Jimi Hendrix) or angst (Cobain) were allowed to sing their own songs because, well, it kept it…

Eddie Money: Endless Peer

CoolPapaE Reviews The Die Hard Series
Cool Papa E Reviews The Die Hard Series I’ve been waiting for this, like I always do. The evolution of Bruce Willis is most easily categorized with the Die Hard films. When he first hit the big screen as John McClane, he was more of a punk than anything. Skinny, mouthy and not much more…

Cool Papa E Reviews James Bond Films of Daniel Craig
Bond is 50, and he gets younger all the time. After a solid start with Sean Connery in the ’60’s and a flirtation with model George Lazenby, and then back to Connery. It’s easy to pick on Roger Moore. Most of his Bond films were crap, but they weren’t necessarily wrong in picking him, they…
