I’ve been thinking a lot about yesterday’s post. My manager Llily Llama and producer Philip Sloth are correct, I need to increase my stage presence and broaden my appeal if I’m ever going to be a rock star. In the book Heavy Metal: A Cultural Sociology, Deena Weinstein talked about the importance of having a […]
After ten years of being a rising rock star, my new manager, squeaky stuffie Lilly Llama, thinks I need to change my approach. Instead of my previous manager, Angel Chuck Billy’s philosophy of write songs then tour, Tour, TOUR; Llily Llama believes I need a strategic business plan, based on academic research, and proven marketing […]
For many dogs, Valentine’s Day is a day of love and loss. Humans give us these wonderful squeaky toys, only to have them tragically go silent before the day is done. The following song parody is dedicated to all dogs starting a relationship with a new toy today. I first wrote it in 2023, but […]
Two years ago today I awoke to my left eye hurting me. I didn’t want to worry Mom, Dad and Chuck Billy, so I tried to keep it a secret. I couldn’t keep it secret for long. The pressure was building in my eye, and the pain was escalating. Long story short, I had to […]
Dogs, ever have one of those days where you find yourself on the wrong side of the door…repeatedly? I dedicate this song to all the dogs in the southern part of the country experiencing their first snow, and to everyone whose humans are hunkered down in this deep freeze that are keeping you inside! It’s […]
This song parody is dedicated to all my dog friends across the country and beyond who are dealing with the subfreezing temperatures and snow. I admit in my youth I found such weather fun to play in, but now that I am older and somewhat wiser, I find myself siding more with Mom’s part in […]
Please join us now for a yuletide classic carol while Mom continues to work on our new site. This parody by Asa was first debuted in 2017, and has become a timeless classic in our household. We hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane of Christmases past. Deck the Dogs with Boughs of Holly […]
Asa here. As an up and coming rock star, I had a taste of what the lifestyle really entails, and I’m not sure I like it. Oh don’t get me wrong, I love writing my parodies! But it’s partying like a rock star that doesn’t agree with me. You see last Thursday I visited my […]
After visiting Vienna, Asa’s World Tour of Maine next rolled into nearby Belgrade. First settled in 1774, it was incorporated as Belgrade in 1796, named after the largest city in Serbia, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe and the world. However, exactly why that name was chosen for this Maine town remains a mystery […]
As Billy Joel once sang, “When will you realize Vienna waits for you?” Well wait no longer! This week’s stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine takes us to Vienna! Settled in 1786, and incorporated in 1802, Vienna, Maine is named for the capital of Austria. Why that name was chosen by Daniel Morrill, who […]
