Hello Friends and welcome to Tom’s Nightclub, the blog that
used to be a radio show (such a common occurrence). The Nightclub show originally aired on San Diego station 91X in the early to mid 90's. The setting was a pseudo-live broadcast from a non-existent club, complete with canned crowd noise, visits from the maintenance man, health department and various drunks. Regular rotation songs from Radiohead and Nirvana butted up against classics from Frankie Lane and Peggy Lee. It was a simpler time. A magical era when anything was possible, like bringing your own booze onto a plane.
As this is the first posting, perhaps a
mission statement is in order. I won’t bore you with a rambling manifesto, but
will break it down bullet point style.
This page will focus on:
- Music: old, new, brilliant and craptastic
- Pop Culture
- Minor Rants (usually focused on Pilates Moms, Dudes with Mustaches, and People who think of Bacon as Culture)
- Occasional Nuggets of Wisdom from people who have shoes older than you
That’s it – meat and potatoes.
Let’s inaugurate this deal with our theme song … From 1967,
Booker T. & The MG’s, “Hip Hug-Her.” It's good to see you back in The 'Club...
