Why Do They Hate The Beatles?
Back in the day Dale was in a band named LUNCH. The band took their inspiration from many sources, including The Beatles. Their repertoire included a few Beatles' covers, my favorite being "Flying". They truly made the songs their own, which to me is the true test of doing a cover song. A listener to Lunch's music once commented "Why do they hate The Beatles?" Anyway.......Dale came across this awesome video on YouTube and it brought back all the wonderful LUNCH memories...I think these guys found an old LUNCH tape at a garage sale or something, which inspired them to make this video. ENJOY! (brains!)
Let me explain. The term bubbler is a quintessential Milwaukee thing. A bubbler is what the rest of the world (except Rhode Island, parts of Connecticut and the Boston area) would call a drinking fountain. The Yoopers also use it, but we all know they are just Wisconsin wannabees anyway. When I first moved to California, I would use the term and get blank stares in response. The world was a much smaller place then and I had no clue that bubbler was just a regional colloquialism. I use it as the title of my blog as a way to connect with those that know what it means and hopefully interest those that don't.
Born in Milwaukee, I moved to Southern California in 1980, with a five-year hiatus in Maui.
I now live in Torrance, California with my SO.
I design circuit boards, a job I totally love. If I wasn't doing that, I would love to have a small restaurant.
Things that make me happy: cooking, eating, music, and vegetating in my backyard.
