Nothing profound. Nothing complicated. Just a raucous little announcement that “I’m back."
That’s right, the time has finally come to reboot the HMSOD website. Believe it or not, my last entry was over seven years ago on March 17, 2010. I tried to stage a comeback last year on December 7 in honor of Greg Lake’s passing, but quickly found myself too busy once again to sustain the effort. The fact is, I've been itching to get the ball rolling again for years. I’ve heard loads of songs I wanted to write about and I knew would be at home on this website, but I didn't really want to "re-open for business" until all the "remodelling" was finished. I'm still doing a little tweaking here and there… still learning the ropes… So if you come across something that doesn't work; like a dead button or an incorrect link, please let me know. If you come across a song you really like, please let me know that too. I can’t promise a daily dose of new entries, but I am pretty confidant it won’t be seven years between this installment and the next. You can always dip into the archives while you’re waiting —
Today’s Happy Medium Song of the Day is “Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith. It’s from the band’s 1976 album, Rocks, and I think it suitably heralds any return to form with perfect rock n’ roll aplomb — even if it is most likely just about sex. What else would you expect from the first rock n’ roll band to ever play Moe’s Tavern on the Simpsons? Giddy up! (Please use the comments box to share your thoughts.)
