TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

If it’s true that a rich man leads a sad life / N’ that’s what they say from day to day / Then what do all the poor do with their lives / On Judgement Day? With nothing to say

I’ve been beat up, I’ve been thrown out / But I’m not down, I’m not down / I’ve been shown up but I’ve grown up / I’m not down, I’m not down

So you rock around and think that you’re the toughest / In the world, the whole wide world / But you’re streets away from where it gets the roughest / You ain’t been there, oh

Well, I’ve been beat up, I’ve been thrown out / But I’m not down, I’m not down / I’ve been shown up but I’ve grown up / I’m not down, I’m not down

Yesterday was the summer solstice, and boy was I in a lazy mood. Believe you me, I wasn’t the only one. Seems like the entire office just wanted to lay around and watch the World Cup. And why not? What a fine way to prepare for last night’s midsummer’s night’s dream.

Funny, I can’t remember what I dreamt last night but today is likely the second longest day of the year, so I’ll take my time with the hope to enjoy the day throughly. Who knows, maybe my dreams will shine through?

As for my soundtrack for this 2018 solstice, I’ve hit the top half of my playlist off with what I consider classic Idelic “oldies.” It reminds me of a few years back, before streaming, when bloggers filled the internet with rare and “obscure” records.

So vive le rock—shake, rattle & roll—and enjoy.
