pink pony club, chappell roan

 i have been listening to music less often on my car radio, due to shorter commutes to work. but i found a good song when i was coming back from a visit to Hy-Vee in Eagan for groceries. it was 'pink pony club' by chappell roan. with lyrics like 'it's where i belong' i found it to be relatable, in terms of me being a stage performer. i watched the video on YouTube, and it does show her dancing and accepting dollar-bill tips. i also read how it was inspired by visiting a gay bar in west Hollywood, along with a strip club in her hometown of Springfield, Missouri. i liked one site that said it is a 'metaphor for a safe space where you feel free to be exactly who you are'. with mention of leaving behind family and moving out of state, another way i saw it as relatable. another song i liked hearing on this radio station, 89.3 the current, was 'bad luck' by social distortion. i have seen them in concert twice, i have just their self-titled CD but that song is not on it. i was a little later than typical on my grocery run as i first went to a meetup event at a micro-brewery in downtown St. Paul. i did an event there a year ago as well. i spoke with various people for a little over an hour, but it was a small bar, and no doubt was crowded there. at work the branch manager said the toner cartridge box arrived, so i said i would see about picking it up when i have the time. thankfully there was no 'crisis before the holiday', although it looked like there was going to be one. i said what the deadlines were on getting an approved file to me. this was a business line where i overnight all of their checks and had already overnighted eight of them that day. then i was told there was no need for what was originally spoken of. fine with me, as i had plenty of other things to keep me occupied. i read an article in the paper about baseball great bob uecker. who had just passed on thursday. it not only mentioned various appearances on johnny carson as 'mr. baseball' but also the sitcom 'mr. belvedere'. during my walks i found 28 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when raj daydreams about bernadette. it was followed by the one where howard and bernadette's second kid was born.
