A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

My Life is a Song #111

electric guitar and amp

In 2018, we witnessed the marketing of a Japanese, luxury, crossover vehicle with a Motorhead cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” If that’s not jumping the shark on selling out, I don’t know what is. They might as well have painted that Acura RDX like the General Lee. And yet, it didn’t […]

My Life Is A Song #105

Since I’m on a roll with this, there are plenty more songs I don’t like.  As is the case with most people, I guess, despite what self-proclaimed “lovers of music” would have you believe.  Hell, there are entire genres I despise.  No, it’s not rap, though that is an excellent, and close, guess.  Jazz is […]

My Life Is A Song #80

Back in January when David Bowie died, I almost altered my publication schedule in hopes of capitalizing on the attention his death was getting in the media.  I chose not to because it probably wouldn’t have worked but also because it seemed a cheap stunt. I enjoy David Bowie’s music and can list off a […]

Deep Purple recorded one of the singularly most famous rock songs in all of history.  Odds are if you play guitar, this was one of, if not the first song you learned to play.  That song, of course, is “Smoke on the Water”.  I’m not kicking of your weekend with it. Deep Purple is more […]

My Life Is A Song #46

Whether  standing atop the watchtower reaching for the purple haze or wondering if you’re experienced enough to approach the foxy lady dancing like a voodoo chile alone on the dance floor, everybody loves Jimi Hendrix.  My wife clearly does.  I know; Hendrix and Van Halen, who’d a thunk. I don’t have a great or even […]

My Life Is A Song #23

September 25, 2015 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I’ll admit it.  My musical tastes are primarily stuck in the past.  Classic rock and classic country is pretty much the only way I roll.  There have been a couple surprising divergences from the mainstream like Southern Culture on the Skids, for example, but even those can’t honestly be described as careening wildly over a […]
