A Pirate on the Prairie
Flying the Jolly Roger in the Midwest
Welcome to A Pirate on the Prairie, a place for me to share whatever insights, thoughts, and opinions that strike my fantasy. Viewed another way, it is my place in the crow's nest for a 50-something pirate to shout into the teeth of the hurricane.

“Crazy Bit*h” (Buckcherry)
“Scratches all down my back….” The scratches did get me some attention when I forgot to cover up, but it was the bite marks on my chest that got MY attention. “Buckcherry - Crazy Bit*h (Official Music Video)”

“Why Lady Why” (Alabama)
Well, I have been reliably informed by a relationship expert with a perfect record in the romantic relationships department that he is probably just obsessed or feeling nostalgic. 😏 “Why Lady Why” https://youtu.be/t9QI97DSIwI
