Friday 90s
Friday Nineties – Naked Gun 33 1/3 – The Final Insult
Ahhh, 1994. It was a simpler time. O.J. Simpson hadn't killed anybody, Anna Nicole Smith was alive and still on the happy side of curvy and Leslie Neilsen was still Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad. The makers of Airplane also made the Police Squad! show and movies...
Prince – Sexy M.F.
Prince died a year ago today. I was ordered to listen to Sexy M.F. yesterday which I did and then I realized that today was Friday so it made sense to feature it. And listening to it made me think of a really good friend of mine that I lost touch with because I...

I know some fascinating facts about Eagle-Eye Cherry that will AMAZE you if you have a very low bar for amazement. But his song is great and you haven’t heard it in a while so give it a listen and learn my fascinating facts!
A Long December – Counting Crows
I forgot about this song by Counting Crows and since I am getting ready to move to NY and make Chezcadia my "summer home" (I'm very fancy, btw) I can't help but think of how many times I've moved. It's not easy being Bruce Banner, always trying to stay ahead of that...
Naughty by Nature – Feel me Flow
Nominated for a Grammy in 1995, "Feel me Flow" sits right smack dab in the middle of hip hop pushing its way into pop. The song made it all the way to #17 that year and I can personally attest to its popularity. My measurement is the tapes I had in my car. This was...
Friday Nineties – R.E.M. – Nightswimming
Automatic for the People was the album that flippd R.E.M. from a college bad that everyone from college liked to a mainstream band that caused people who liked them in college to get confused and angry. 1992 brought us Nevrmind the debut album from Nirvana which is...
More than Words by Extreme was #1- 25 Years Ago – Friday Nineties
Twenty Five Years ago this week skinny crooners Extreme hit the top of the charts with their classic "More than Words". Not only is the song catchy, but boy is it easy to sing along to. I remember riding in the dump truck at the cemetery (we had to go to lunch in a...
Friday Nineties – R.E.M. – Drive
Political screed or motivational messaging to grungy youths? "Drive" by R.E.M. could be either, or may be both. Released in 1992 off of the Automatic for the People album, the song leads off in the first verse using the term "Bushwhacked". That's why some people...
Friday Nineties – Ace of Bass? More like Ace of Hitler!
Remember Ace of Bass? Well now that the G.O.P. (and some Democrats) are turning us all into Fascist Nazis, it seems like it is a good time to point out a couple creepy Nazi things associated with the Swedish pop band. And the first one is right there in the...
Friday Nineties – Unforgiven
Some of you may remember Clint Eastwood as the crazy old man from the 2012 Republican Convention. Some of you might think of him as Dirty Harry. Maybe the Man with No Name from The Good the Bad and the Ugly is your fave image of Clint. But not me. Mine is a toss...
Friday Nineties – Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli – Time to Say Goodbye
Any idea who that guy in the picture up there is? Me either. Turns out it is a German Boxer named Henry Maske. The song Time to Say Goodbye, was performed by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli at Maske's final fight. Then they decided to record it and now it is he...
Friday Nineties – Microsoft Windows
Of course now there are Apple people and Ubuntu people and browser wars and phone wars and a million other wars but back in 1995 your choices were use Windows or go outside. And going outside was not anything Microsoft wanted you doing, so they got two of the hottest...
