I often look forward to celebrating three of the biggest things happening October which aren’t Halloween: Italian Heritage, Pizza and a silly thing FM AOR stations invented called Rocktober, a new story idea I wanted to cover, more on it later. \u00a0I just don’t have the energy nor the time to dedicate much to any of these subjects in order to do them any justice while I brace for the divorce. A retainer isn’t cheap and you have to be ready to refill it when over half the money in it has been spent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the Header Art and I plan to do something equally cool next year to explain why this Eighties-inspired style has anything to do with Italians. The plan I have in mind for 2020 will be to pre-write stories involving Italians throughout the year so they’ll be ready to pop up on schedule in October. I’m open to suggestions if you have anyone I haven’t written about. You know how to reach me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pizza? It’s weird how the delicacy receives a national day AND a separate month. I’ll take it, pizza rocks! My plan is to have a podcast or something recorded to share with everyone courtesy of someone I consider a pizza aficionado.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rocktober. At the end of 2018, I found a site and sadly I’ve never been able to relocate it, that made a series of shirts featuring the album covers of my favorite bands. Believe me, these aren’t acts you’d find easily at Hot Topic: Ultravox, Midnight Oil and Hoodoo Gurus are quick examples. The point was to explain why I love a particular record and how it influenced my tastes. Maybe I can do a sequel putting good friends on the spot regarding the one album they loved with the same side effect. Anyone under 40 will be tough to ask as we’ve moved more towards being a singles-oriented culture thanks to streaming. It’s not entirely bad, certain acts’ albums were often filled with crap\u2026just not what I like!<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, keep enjoying what else I discover and I promise, October 2020 will be a return to form as I scratch the itch for knowledge on knowing Italians are more than gangsters, pizza chefs and entertainers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
