Today I learned: Rick Astley is still performing! That’s wonderful—we all have fun with “Never Gonna Give You Up” but the guy is a crooner!

I just saw that Rick Astley is releasing an autobiography this fall! You bet that I'm going to order it as soon as it comes out! Rickrolls and all, he's always been one of my favorites ever since I had my 80s music awakening back in high school!

Astley’s story must be fascinating—the rhythms of his career are so different than most stars. I might check it out as well; thanks for the tip!

By the way: I only got a few songs into the last radio show but I’ll return to them. I find them excellent work music to keep inertia up with my head bobbing.

Happy Thanksgiving! Since Rickrolls are still fresh on my mind, here's a fitting clip from the 2008 Macy's Parade ;)

I loved the Rickroll commercial so much! The whole Cuddles: Endgame movie was hilarious fun, but the Rickroll commercial was just super special to me! I actually saw Rick Astley perform at the Golden One Center last year! It was a dream come true for me :D
