In honor of our Warrior Queen Anne Marie in Philly, let’s have a Dance Party!
Klymaxx – Meeting In The Ladies Room – 1984
Vanity 6 – Nasty Girl – 1982
Sheila E. – The Glamorous Life – 1984
It’s been two years since I received that call and my heart sank. Today I remember the treasured moments I was blessed to spend with my dear blogger friend and how she lived her life to the fullest.
Anne Marie…you inspire me, I miss you and I love you. I still smile when I think of you. XO
Dear Anne Marie in Philly,
I sure do miss you. From wherever you are I do hope you enjoyed your Phillies winning the National League title over my Padres last year.
I sure wish we had been able to experience that here together, even though your team did win. But alas we weren’t, however I know I wasn’t alone and that we watched your team take the pennant each from our own dimension.
Tomorrow 3/30/23 is opening day here in San Diego as we begin another season. Your beloved Phillies are back at it as well. I dedicate this post and the song below to you my dear Warrior Queen. May the best team win.
Smooches!
John Fogerty – Centerfield – 1985
Love Fearsome oh…and Go Padres! 😘
New Year Happiness!
Why not welcome 2023 with 2022’s last dance?
DJ Discocat – Donna Summer – Last Dance – 1978 Disco Purrfection Mix 12/31/2022
Happy New Year Y’all!
A tradition that will continue is the playing of this tune to welcome Christmas into my home.
May yours be filled with peace, love and joy.
Merry Christmas…

One of Fearsome’s favorite tunes Kurstin & Grohl have given us for night six.
This Hanukkah rocks!
Kurstin x Grohl – Featuring Karen O – Heads Will Roll – Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover – 2022
The clips of this show are too numerous and all fabulous. Therefore this year I’m posting the entire show including the vintage 1963 commercials. Enjoy!
Judy Garland – The Judy Garland Christmas Show (including commercials) – 1963
As featured here on FearsomeBeard on night one, Kurstin x Grohl are posting nightly to YouTube for Hanukkah. Tonight’s post features Violet Grohl and it took my breath away.
Then I read the comments.
Janis Ian who wrote and performed tonight’s piece was the top comment. She thanks them both for so beautifully performing her song and let’s them know how they are helping her in her own journey. I’m still grabbing tissues as I write this.
Kurstin x Grohl featuring Violet Grohl – At Seventeen – Janis Ian Cover – 2022
Janis’ original version is a big part of my childhood soundtrack. I feel the need to post it as well. The little boy in me adores it.
Janus Ian – At Seventeen – 1975
Thank you Greg, Dave & Violet for this beautiful night four performance. Thank you Janis for this song, this beautiful song.
May Bette brighten your shortest day of the year! Happy Yule y’all!
Bette Midler – Cool Yule – 2006
I don’t know about you, but a nice tropical island and some Ella Fitzgerald sure sounds appealing right now!
Ella Fitzgerald – Christmas Island – 1960
I have no words. I just hope.
Lizzo – Someday At Christmas – SNL – 2022
I discovered these last year. For any Foo Fighters fan this is all the Hanukkah presents we need.
Dave Grohl & Greg Kurstin – Spinning Wheel – Blood Sweat and Tears cover – The Hanukkah Sessions 2022
It all starts at sundown this evening. Depending on where you are reading this, it may have already begun.
Whether you celebrate Hanukkah or not, may yours be joyful and bring you peace. To me, as a Goy myself, the holiday represents perseverance, miracles, light and freedom. I therefore I celebrate it in my own Goyish way.
Six13 – Bohemian Chanukah – 2018
Tony Bennett just has that perfect timing and inflection for this holiday tune.
Tony Bennett – Silver Bells – 2008
Just in time for the upcoming weekend parties we here at FearsomeBeard wish to help you get ready. In case you are planning surprise your hosts by making an appearance as Santa we found this video most helpful. Well helpful if you aren’t already bearded, but who wants to sweat the little details during the holidays.
Check out Trixie with the incredible make up skills of her Ex, yes her Ex, transform her into Santa!
Trixie Mattel and Kyle Krueger – Trixie Transforms into Santa Clause – 2020
Needless to say that storm we had has made it’s way all the way across the US. From what I hear many are experiencing cold rain, ice and snow. So in keeping with yesterday’s theme, today we will let Louis set the mood.
Louis Armstrong – Winter Wonderland – Circa 1952
After that huge winter storm passed though California the past two days it’s left us with cold weather. It was 40 degrees F here in lovely San Diego this morning with a high of only 59. Therefore this little Judy Garland number seems not only seasonal but very appropriate.
Judy Garland – I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm – Circa 1963
Originally released in 1983, Paul McCartney has re-released a remastered Pipes of Peace. While it’s timely for the season, it is always timely for our world. May we find peace not only for ourselves, but for the children and our planet.
Paul McCartney – Pipes of Peace – 1983 (remastered 2022)
Peace.
