When you were in your teens and 20s, your folks and many middleaged folk loved the music they grew up with and may have despised the 80's music !

Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry", her less recent song "Glamorous", and a relative new act called Plain White T's has a song titled "Hey There Delilah", are all good listens.

I could go on and on... but perhaps you're listening to the wrong station? Also - the music we hear now will surely fade into golden oldies as well. No music remains current over time.

I TOTALLY agree with you. Thank goodness for downloading music. I found a few collections of 80's music and started downloading the songs on the (dare I show my age by using the next word) albums, then branched out by finding other music from those performers.

Interesting times right now. Major music distribution 'labels' may disappear (many have folded up), music stores are all closing, the concept of 'albums' may disappear (people download individual songs), CD's and physical media may disappear (in favor of computer files).

The one thing that has amazed me is the disappearing of stereo systems. What happened to loud obnoxious music stereo systems, lol?

As to today's music, I have trouble finding good stuff to my liking but its out there just no on the radio alot. I have a friend who drops me some gems sometimes.....

The dude from Motley crew who wrote double star my heart(in reference to being brought back from an od) has an album coming out based on his journals during the drug yrs...I think its called Heroin diaries, he is doing well too, does alot of charities...

We had a 40 band concert here in jersey this weekend and the skullers from the colleges were here also...nice time.

We have something in Common, both Greek. My family is from city called "by the sea" in the native language, its just South of Sparta along the coast.

Oh Puleeeeze....you can use your much prefered verbage here...we dont bite...haha....Just say it hun, You dont like WTF is going on....

come here and i shall show you the best music you will ever hear. it is a music which will make you see stars shining at midday, and your wet sexual hole will thank you, lol

I was more referring to those massive towering stacks of speakers and stereo components college kids used to move in and out of dorms each fall and spring.

When I was down at Penn State one year these guys had their entire balcony stacked up with speakers all facing inward. All they had to do was open the balcony sliding glass doors and ... presto... a huge wall of sound.

The rap mogul Jay-Z 'discovered' her musical talents and I'm betting he 'discovered' all of her private parts and sexual talents as well (under her umbrella, lol).

Amy Slimehouse, who sings that 'Rehab' song? Well... she reportedly checked into rehab recently after a drug overdose. She cancels concerts frequently due to drug & alcohol intake problems.

Chris Thomas King is the most famous and successful blues artist of his generation. He has won numerous awards including an “Album of the Year” Grammy and an “Album of the Year” Country Music Award. King has sold more than 10 million records in America including the phenomenal successes of “O Brother Where Art Thou?,” “Down From the Mountain” and “More Music From Ray” Soundtracks.

tesla, autograph, kix, great white... i'm a follicley (sp) challenged rocker in a big hair band world.....hahahahaha

You really should see a doctor and i would suggest that you get a vet for your pets! You dont want them spreading this virus to others...good luck !!!

Ever since you 'touched' him probably.

TOXXIC , u remain too funny for mingles and I always get a kick from your posts.

I'm a hard core Rocker from the 60's and 70's I still listen to all that sutff too. Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Who....even Sly and the Family Stone.

I went searching for one hit wonders from the 80's and came up with some real treats...songs that I did love...

Remember crack that whip , with those idiots with some kind of dishes on their heads.

I think aside from all the old stuff "The Clash" remains one of my favorites. A guy was singing their song...LONDON CALLING in a cab and was reported and held under their terror laws for a time if you can believe that.

What about Northern European stuff like In Flames , a Swedish Melodic Death Metal band.

They must be classical trained because they do play more than mindless thunder.

Green Eyes like alot of Celtic and Mystical stuff...And I might owe her an apology for being so overwhelming...it was so refreshing actually and finally mailing a Greek Chick. And I blew it.

one of the worst one hit wonders of the 80'2 has got ta be "final coutdown"

I dont doubt that they were bowls on their heads. I've been collecting Yuotube videos also. My favorites are Live WHO concerts. I saw that band 5 times , four when Moon was alive.

1974, Quadrophenia Tour in quad in the floor in Philly. Then 3 shows up in NYC and one last one with Kenny Jones on drums back down in Philly in 82.

I sing & play three Who songs - Pinball Wizard, Squeezebox, and Behind Blue Eyes.

TCK, you might be interested in hearing this then. Its an acoustic version of Wont Get Fooled Again. Watch for him to hit the harmonic in the second chorus, right ont time. It sounds to sweet.

I love the live electric version but this has some special feeling for me. No one a quicker at strumming the guitar than Townshend as illustrated in this video

youtube. com/watch?v=7WYq3iON8KQ

I played some drums and loved Bonham form Led Zeppelin.

youtube. com/watch?v=55CurRbr688

Dont let it be said Clapton didnt know how to adorn a stage...

BTW, I am 'whocamefirst' on youtube. Any comments in reply to that name are coming to me.

"She's Waiting" Phil Collins on drums.

These guys were the core of the group so it should be an awesome tour.

On youtube, one can see some great crossover songs from Apocalyptica, a a Finnish musical group consisting of three, formerly four, classically trained cellists. they sound like Death Metal unplugged, they are fracking great!!! Its about time Clasical made a crossover because so many of them feel they might betray the Classics if they do, so...they havent. but this band rocks!!!!!

A must view and hear.

Youtube is a great place to see a massive variety of genre's.

Shake everything you got...if you got it like dat !!! to

I fell in love with the Special Guest playing sax about ten yrs ago...God , she is so gorgeous. Beauty is in the eye of beholder and anyone who thinks she is just ok needs to get some help.

I love horns and drums. The two instruments most common to the human experience thru out time. Very tribal in anture and common to war also..The Hungarians had Copper Kettle drums pounding to march their troops at one time...the history of instruments is a very interesting read in itself.

I'm more or less tone deaf but I did play the drums. Lay down good beat and my feet get going.

Rihanna? Yeah, lol, I think she's great too, and destined for even more greatness as she matures (she's only 19). She has three mega-smash hits right from the get-go.... impressive. Not to mention that cute little body with such a sexy butttttt. lol.

Radio overplay can make any song irritating though, I agree.

They are performing at least one full length concert in London.

I actually just saw Van Halen in Chicago last month - with DLR but sans Michael Anthony (Eddie's son Wolfgang was on bass - the playful interactions were so cute but hardly badass rockband style lol). It was all the fun & entertainment & rockin' this old 80s hag could have imagined!

But I still enjoy some quality new stuff too. It's refreshing!

Anyone ever heard of Madina Lake?

This song is based upon a young girl's first sexual experience, with 'it' being a reference to his tool ('where ever it goes'):

- - - - - - - - - - -

It starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose,

where ever it goes I always know,

that you make me smile.

Please stay for a while now,

just take your time where ever you go.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

(And) when she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

Ooh ooh ooh...ooh...ooh ooh ooh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Oooh...It makes me wonder

Oooh...It makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of those who stand looking

Oooh...It makes me wonder

Oooh...And it makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, if we all called the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forest will echo with laughter

Woe woe woe woe woe oh

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow

Don't be alarmed now

It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by

but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder...ohhh ooh woe

Your head is humming and it won't go -- in case you dont know

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our souls

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all, yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

Ooooooooooooh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

They opened with Good times Bad times went right into Ramble On for the opening. For me , its a joy to see the Band together despite Bonham's absence. He was and is my all time favorite Drummer. He put the backbeat in Zep and made it funky. His kid does a good job but not as good as dad. But what the hell....its still Zeppelin and if and when they come to NYC which is rumored I mostly will try for tix. I have a friend up there in entertainment and I warned him, I will be leaning heavy for any influence he has. He got onstage with Plant and Page a few yrs back.

The first Two albums were already recorded when Zeppelin was still backing up some group(Grand Funk Railroad I think) on tour. As the story went in Rolling Stone mag....Zeppelin pulled out the stuff off the first album and blew the crowd away. The band that was starring refused to take the stage. That was 69 and they were called the New Yardbirds. How amazing.

I love this video, seeing Page rip the lead out of that Les Paul....most rockers dont use that style guitar any longer. Its too heavy for most I hear but the Les Paul and rock were made for one another.

At one time, I had one of the original Gibson Explorers. Rare and very valuable to collectors.

Over the holidays I enjoyed a whole bunch of different Genres from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to of cours the 02 Concert and Zep. On New Yrs Eve I watched and old film from the Rolling Stones Flying Circus with guests such as The Who , Lennon and Ono, Taj Mahal. I like the Stones from Satisfaction right up to Let It Bleed. Not much after that.

I also watched Joshua Bell, a classic violinist play with the NY Philharmonic. He did Ravelle's Bolero, one of my favorites. He also did a Ravelle called Tzigane. It's a piece where the Violinists is challenged to do a whole bunch of things like hit harmonics, play two strings and do stacatos also. It finishes off with a wild frenzy, really nice to see such an accomplished person play.

In my winamp.

Peter Gabriel's "Big Time"

Yngwie Malmsteen's "Arpeggio's From Hell"

In Flames "Moonshield" <----Sweet Acqoustic/Electricfied in classical overtures.

Mute Math's "Collaspe"

Snow Patrols "Shut Your Eyes"

Fleetwood Mac's "Hypnotized"

Fleetwood Mac's "World Turning"

Creed "Higher"

Moody Blues "In the Beginning"

Robin Trower "Bridge Of Sighs"

Robin Torwer "Day of the Eagle"

Hendrix "Watchtower"

Hendrix "Dolly Dagger"

Traffic "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"

A Rare Mix of Led Zeppelin "Whole lotta Love" with Pink FLoyd's "Breath" overdubbed on top of it. I found this on the Ares site I use for getting Music. Sounds dam good too. The timing is just right. Anyone using Ares. My name online there is ZigZag. Youre welcome to any of my music files. There are many. I triee Limewire but I dont like the interface.

Limewire will fill your computer with spyware, adware, and bullshit - avoid it.

Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - love it. Never thought I'd ever hear anyone mention them again.

One of my top favorite albums of all time - Quadrophenia (The Who).

I like to see and try to collect old stuff whenever I get a chance. I sold most of it though. I would like to find a hurdy Gurdy somewhere. They are worth a nice penny. Not an organ grinder type that most people are familar with but one from another time when they were much larger.

Remember Donovans song Hurdy Gurdy Man?

I recall my friend had that Martin with pickup for an Amp. Sounded great. I wanted to play the guitar. I hate to admit this but I am tone deaf so I stuck with the drums. I only midly fooled around with the guitar. I remember getting hold of Zeppelins music sheet for the first four albums and when I got it home being a bit disappointed because Page tuned his guitar on alot of songs to a specific Chord and then played Bars.

I still have the book. I did learn Gallows Pole which I love to hear on the acqoustic.

I like Classical very much. One benefit of having dish TV is that I also get XM Radio too. So when I sleep I listen to that or switch to the Blues. I think I prefer the Blues.

Ever see the Movie "A CLockwork Orange"? Loaded with Beethoven.

What about "Flight of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner in Apocalypse Now? When Duvall was riding in the Air Cavalry Helicopter charge. Great touch for that flick.

Traffic was a fantastic band. Stevie Winwood was writing music songs at 16. His Bio is extensive. He was with Spencer Davis in the Spencer Davis Group that made "I'm a Man" later redone by Chicago Transit Authority. I liked them also until they became just Chicago and went commercial.

I also get off on the sotries behind the Music. The Allman Brothers song "Blue Skies" was written by Dicky Betts for his wife at the time. She was American Indian named Blue Sky. so when I hear the song it adds a touch of romance that is otherwise un-noticable.

I think kids should have music appreciation in school and keep the beating on desks(rap beats) to a minimum. Kids who wanna learn percussion ought to learn exactly what timing is in music. Its not all boom baa, boom boom baa !!!!

Martin's refusal to install electronics opened the market door for Taylor, Takamine, Alvarez, and many others. By the time Martin realized their error and began installing the electronics in their guitars it was too late. The other manufacturers had already established themselves. This situation is a case study in some business marketing classes.

Martin still makes fine guitars, though I'm a Takamine guy myself.

This is Billy Ray Cyrus's 15 year old daughter. Remember Billy Ray from the Achy Breaky Heart days?

Anyhow, I heard a DJ play this song at a club last night and I was compelled to ask him who sings it. When he told me it was Miley I was very surprised, it just doesn't sound like a 15 year old voice. The voice sounds much more mature, she can really sing well.

Sales of CD's are plummeting in favor of computer based music. Cd's may go the way of the album, cassette, 8-track, etc. before too long.

Personally I think the record companies can go get ****ed because for so many years we had to buy an entire CD just to get one song we liked.

Just thought I would whooosh into a post about Music ...

Hail CHer Dov'e L'Amore !!!

VIDEOS ARE AWESOME more than the CD ....

Music Vids kick arse ....

Why? How? She's writing her own music and emerging as a leading artist by virtue of her own merit. No American Idol, no contests.

(Note: most singers do NOT write their own music, as examples I do not believe that Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera ever wrote any of their songs.)

"If you are old enough to know what this is, you need burial insurance"

LOL

Mostie please ask Captn to drop that name he once gave me about a british woman who was clairvoyant during World War Two who was arrested. I am collecting names of people ike her along with Oracles.

For the past week, its been so dam cold I went into a Moody Blues Mood and brought up "Gypsy" from Our Childrens Childrens Children Album.

This cominhg week PBS is doing a special on The Clash. I loved them and they are a Band that changed Music. A guy was singing the Lyrics to London Calling in a cab and wound up being held on terror suspicion as I recall.

The Smithereens are now playing in my winamp "A girl like like you" I know those of you who play guitar feel in love with those intro Chords to this song and I love the lyrics. I like song with Female vocals in it.

Why is it I can name a half dozen or so songs where Women backup Male voices and I cant name one song off the top of my head where a man backs up Female vocals. Excluding duets that is.

Ok wait, I am sure Joan Jett has male back up singers. Joan does alot of USO shows for the Troops and they love her riotness.

The Smithereens "A Girl Like you"

"I used to travel in the shadows

And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you

But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste

There's too much to lose

Girl you say anything at all, and you know that you can call

And I'll be right there for you

First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake

What else can you do

I'll say anything you want to hear

I'll see everything through

I'll do anything I have to do

Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you

People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care

This is the place I should be

And if they think it's really strange for a girl like you

To be in love with someone like me

I wanna tell them all to go to hell

That we're doing very well without them you see

That's just the way it is and they will see

I am yours and you are mine the way it should be

Chorus

Now if I seem a little wild, there's no holding back

I'm trying to get a message to you

I won't take anything from anyone

I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you

London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run

Together we'll be

Inside, outside, got my pride

I won't let him take you from me

Chorus

xxxx

I would like tthe chance to hear Robin Trower live. Having had the pleasure of seeeing Townshend, Page, Clapton, George Harrison, Jeff Beck( blew me away) Justin Hayward surprised me just how good he was live. Dicky Betts was good but I was so far from the Stage.

I think I could sit and listen to Trower all night in a dreamstate with his work like "Day of the Eagle" and "Bridge of Sighs"

HAIL ... ROBERT PALMER ... Simply Irresistable ...

I love Annie Lennox though. What a witchy woman and soulful.

OMG, its 4 am and I cant sleep and I am listening to Floyd form the Meddle Album.....ECHOS!!!!!!

Anyone here like Echos? I was listening to Floyd way before Dark Side came out. Like the Obscured by Clouds album...Ummagumma, when Syd Barret was still in the band and going literally crazy. They were just refining the synthesized sound of music but in my View ECHOS is where Floyd evolved into the Band they became. Of course based on the success of the Dark Side Album and how long it stayed on the top ten album charts is kinda unreal to think about. I just like to revisit the bands when they were putting together their fundamental styles.

Echos is some 23 minutes long and gets downright ghostly and shrill but the piece from say 6 mins through to around 11 mins rises up and cresendos into a sound where if you love Floyd, you might feel like I do......the sound goes into a thumpy thump sound sound and you could imagine yourself riding along intot the little big horn or say with the Ancient Armies.

The Guitar work and Hammond Organ tear out the soul of that piece for me while the bass and drums provide the galloping feel to it.

People call it pyschedlic, I like to think of it as impressionist blues, much like the art revolt of the 19th Century in Paris where Classic form was taken apart by people like Cezanne and Degas and added color and twisted form to art.

It was quite offensive to the classic art community.

I was walking through the Mall one day in the seventies to my surprise I heard this piece coming from somewhere and I followed it and some young guy was in a shop on an Organ playing the climbing and falling of the more subtle part. I was so shocked and just smiled , found a place to sit and listened.

I read in a Floyd Trivia site where the Band wanted to ask Jeff Beck to replace Syd Barret when he went crazy but were in such awe of Beck they couldnt approach him.

Mostie, it def was not Rose but I dont recognize the other. Ill google it but ask Capt ok? Thanks.

Hank Jr. 'Man of Steel And 'Sometimes...All I need is the air that I breath', in that same token Axel Rose sang that same song. That make you believe that all they need is the air. And I don't know his name, but I watched him on a PBS station, This big elderly black man walking up the isle with a purple zoot suit and a cane singing 'The Duke of Earl'. It opened my mind to just how much I liked that song. ( It was a favorite among most fellas my dad's age. ) I really do like Jim Morrison (and his 'NICE' leather britches mmmmn!). Van Morrison is very instruamental and peaceful. So far everyone here seems to have got stuck in the 80's. Today's music is great. There's so much love into it even if it appears to be negative. 'Pink', I feel as if music was ment to be heard and felt, not seen. Close your eyes and feel the music...........

lol

the woman's name was Helen Duncan, and as far as I know the movement to have her posthumously pardoned is still under way.

Floyd trivia funfacts.....Have A Cigar. Roger was not happy with the way he was singing the song, so they decided to bring in someone else to sing it. Roy Harper, a street musician, was in the same studio making his own album, and the band asked him to come in and sing it for them. "Hats off to Roy Harper" was a song by Zeppelin on the third album. I owned an album by Harper. I am still not sure who is really is but the sound was more like bluegrass.

Barret was a nut for sure. He took the band on long an weird "trips" funny story about him is this Barret was there for the taping of Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Plus it is he who is on the Dark side of the Moon too but one band member didnt recognize Barret in the studio. his head was shaved and looking a bit strange. One of my really old Floyd favorites is "Childhoods End " off the Obscured by Clouds Album.

This is the type of sound I loved so much from that time. Its very structured and one might be surprised to hear just how Floyd sounded prior to Dark Side.

Beck at one time made some sweeping comments about Page and Clapton saying things like they went commercial instead of sticking to what they felt in a more free form. Clapton wandered from band to band searching and I disagree about page. I enjoyed the mystic adventure of Zeppelin but prefered the firs two albums and tht structure.

Alot of people dont even listen to Beck however ask any accomplished guitarist they admire and its the lieks of Beck, Satriani, Malmsteen. Thats just opinion BTW.

Cap'n thanks for that. Recently the history channel went through a whole host of oracles and prophets. they examined the I Ching and the Mayans and its weird that they all seem to converve in 2012. One Roman Oracle named Constantine by name hundreds of yrs before he was born. I dont put any real faith in any of that but for sure that the more time goes on, the more disorder we will see.

In 1956 police raided a sance and strip searched her. They said they were looking for shrouds and such, but found nothing. In the process they touched her, and it was said a medium could NEVER, ever be touched while in trance state because the ectoplasm would return to the mediums body too quickly and cause death. Second degree burns were found on her stomach by a doctor and 5 weeks later she passed. Pretty eerie stuff, eh?

The History Channel did a piece on sooth sayers and oracles and its so weird. Some of them predicted things hundreds of yrs and not ambigiously either.

I wanna get plugged in dont you?

Ever hear of the Chinese I Ching?

Also, there was a German who predicted the first world war and exactly how many yrs it would last and the second he said would be a few decades later. The third he said would visit the 3rd generation after WW2. that would be about now. I cant recall his name but he lived in the mid 19th century maybe?

There is another English prophet who put hers in rhyme Captn. you would like that. She said something like "when pictures move and men fly in the sky...." sorry but that is all I can recall.

I scribbled her name down somewhere as I was viewing it

Hey, Capt' you write the poems that you post? I assumed you did. Why dont you open a forum and throw some up. I like poetry although I am not too good.

I was viewing a show on writing as I doa alot and they said "a poem is never finished but abandoned" makes sense, its hard to let go of them or not expand on those ideas.

Heres one I like alot:

"As I walk under the clear skies,

What rule is it that applies?

My mind tells me that my dreams are lies,

My soul preaches: the one who dreams is the one who flies.

I still proceed after infinite tries,

In the search of a place where no one dies."

- Mandeep Singh

A rare cut worth going for, nice guitar work on it and its only 4 mins 33 secionds long

You shout in your sleep.

Perhaps the price is just too stepp.

Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?

You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.

Just one man beneath the sky,

Just two ears, just two eyes.

You set sail across the sea of longpast thoughts and memories.

Childhood's end,

Your fantasies merge with harsh realities.

And then as the sail is hoist,

You find your eyes are growing moist.

All the fears never voiced say you have to make your final choice.

Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why?

Some are born;

Some men die beneath one infinite sky.

There'll be war, there'll be peace.

But everything one day will cease.

All the iron turned to rust;

All the proud men turned to dust.

And so all things, time will mend.

So this song will end.

TCK, you like Traffic....did you ever hear the "Welcome to the Canteen " Album. I think that is my favorite. I think Dave Mason was with them then. Oh, John Barleycorn must die also is great.

Eric Burdon & WAR lyrics

Spill the Wine lyrics

Anyone know what the Spanish girl says in this song?

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day

When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest

in a big field of tall grass

I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

And I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie

This really blew my mind, the fact that me,

an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome

should be the star of a Hollywood movie

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings

I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world

In front of every kind of girl, there was

black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

Out of the middle came a lady

She whispered in my ear something crazy

She said: (??????)

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

[spoken:]

I thought to myself what could that mean

Am I going crazy or is this just a dream

Now, wait a minute

I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere

so it's all in my head

and then.. I heard her say one more time: (?????)

[sung:]

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

[spoken:]

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back

As she disappeared, but soon she returned

In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass

She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass

And raised it to her lips

And just before she drank it, she said:

[sung:]

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Sure do, and I love that one you posted, I hadn't seen it before. The I Ching, isn't that the one with all the symbols and poems and such that tries to relate meanings to things that have already happened? I don't know much about it, but I'll have to check into it. I'm just curious, but what's your take on Nostradamus?

Pink Floyd, I can remember "back in the day" lol...catching a buzz as a kid and listening to Dark Side of the Moon over and over, either that or Zeppelin or Aerosmith (Toys in the Attic LPZ)....I got pulled over several times when listening to Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" and getting so into it I just zoned out and blew a light or two, lol.

Ever read Hammer of the Gods? It cronicles the band.

Are there any guitar players in the forums who know if there is such an animal as an 18 string or more Acquostic guitar?

I caught up with The Last Waltz on TCM, great flick by Scorsese.

At the end of the flick Robbie Robinson of The Band is playing some strange guitar, its acquostic in nature but I've never seen one before.

That whole album is good. It has Dylan Ron Woods and Van Morrison plus Muddy Waters too. Looking at the age of the Band its hard to understand why they split. They were young by todays standards of still living super groups.

I have always felt that Ronnie Woods should have stayed with Rod Stewart and brought Keith Richards into that circle where he could create more. Jagger is so self obsessed with the Stones.

The Stones are for me Satisfaction up until the Let it Bleed Album. All the rest is Jaggers superego. That is why Mick Taylor left. Plus there was the dark chapter of Brian Jones death not to mention hiring the Hells Angels for security for Gimme Shelter? what were they thinking. That guy was killed right in front of Jagger too.

The Faces went soft after Woods left.

Scorp, it's Robbie Robertson (not Robinson) and he's a Canuck, but don't hold that against him.

Does the 18 string (Sympitar) you refer to resemble any shown at http://www.beyondthetrees.com/sympb.htm ?

Oh well, maybe its on youtube, Ill check and see if it is. Thanks for the correction I wasnt sure about the name and I did love The Band. Didnt the Keyboard player commit suicide after the breakup? I checked U2be I csnt find the last song. It followed Bob Dylan - Forever Young / Baby, Let Me Follow You Down

Sorry but I cant find it. If anyone has this on DVD maybe they can have a go at it. In the credits if I recall I saw sometihng about Normans rare guitars. I think,lol

But I have to admit, that Peter Townshend is my all time favorite in concert performer/artist. His creaitve talents on the keyboards on Who's Next and the Quadrophenia album are priceless. I had all the Who's early stuff like the "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" album.

I like to reminice about what I witnessed too because Classic Rock as they call it is just that Classic in the truist sense of the word. The Early performers will live on as do the classical musicians do but in a different perspective.I dont consider everything coming down the pike to go classic....

I can relate to this idea for sure. I like Stravinsky loud and choppy. I am listening to Mike Oldfield and Enya's Celtic Rain. Tubular Bells(theme from the Exorcist)

When I hear lets say some strings being plucked in Classical pieces , I think of climbing stairs. Why? I couldn't say but music IS ALL ABOUT EXPRESSION. Pink Floyd had a song titled any Color you like, I believe.

What is the difference in music and noise? Is it structure and organization or, is it more in the listeners ear and mind? Miles Davis said he heard music in basketball sneakers squealing.

A siren is structured and yet I find it to be more noise than music.

TCK, I am a bit older than you . You might like to search for a song titled Pure and easy. For awhile Townshend was looking for the perfect chord or note.....the moody blues looked for the lost chord. Pure easy is a song that he reworked and the melody shows up in Whos next in the song called Bargain.

Lyrics to Pure and easy:We all know success when we all find our own dreams,

And our love is enough to knock down any walls.

And the future's been seen as men try to realize,

The simple secret of the note in us all.

I listened and I heard music in a word,

And words when you played your guitar.

The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering,

And a child flew past me riding in a star. " there once was a note ....LISTEN!!!!!

There is a solo by pete at the end. Perhaps one of his best.

When I had lost my faith and struggled through life Pete gave me sanctuary. He expressed my anger for sure and hope.

TCK, have you ever viewed the DVD The Kids are alright? Its great and it cronicles the Bands early yrs.....when Moonie blew his drums up onstage on the smother brothers show.

If Entwistle wasnt the single best bass player in rock I dunno who was. I saw them 5 times like I said I could never take my eyes off the OX as he played.....he wore a huge Black onxy

and silver Spider neckless and he worte all there darker songs.

the Beatles did with same with Sgt Pepper and the Who did it with Tommy

I like the Stones from Satisfaction to let it bleed but I never did take to them big time.

Ive got my clipboard, text books

Lead me to the station

Yeah, Im off to the civil war

Ive got my kit bag, my heavy boots

Im runnin in the rain

Gonna run till my feet are raw

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation

And Im a soldier at thirteen

Slip kid, slip kid, realization

Theres no easy way to be free

No easy way to be free

Its a hard, hard world

I left my doctors prescription bungalow behind me

I left the door ajar

I left my vacuum flask

Full of hot tea and sugar

Left the keys right in my car

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation

Only half way up the tree

Slip kid, slip kid, Im a relation

Im a soldier at sixty-three

No easy way to be free

Slip kid, slip kid

Keep away old man, you wont fool me

You and your history wont rule me

You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed

Im not affected by your blackmail

You wont blackmail me

God it was as lifetime ago I listened to this when it was just released.

Check out the play list too

"Evolving from Pete Townshend's idea for a musical autobiography of the Who, the second of the group's two full-scale rock operas, Quadrophenia, eventually developed into a social, musical and psychological exploration of the mid-1960s mod scene in England. Written from the perspective of a British teenager, Jimmy, the band members role in the storyline became symbolic via Jimmy's four personalities. Like much of Townshend's work, Quadrophenia examined the universal themes of rejection, rebellion, and the search for identity. Released in October of 1973, the resulting double album, Townshend's last magnum opus within the context of the Who was greeted with acclaim and featured some of the most majestic music the band ever recorded.

The North American leg of this tour got off to an inauspicious start when on opening night in San Francisco, Keith Moon collapsed on stage several times and was replaced on drums by a volunteer from the audience.<---WOW I NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE.LOL As the tour progressed and Townshend began paring down the Quadrophenia material to its essential elements, the performances improved. Toward the end of this tour, they were more consistently engaging and on a good night, the Who remained the most powerful and captivating band on the planet.

Which brings us to the second-to-last night of this tour, when the band took to the stage of the Spectrum in Philadelphia before a sold-out house. Excerpts of this show, recorded for broadcast by the King Biscuit Flower Hour, have been the primary source of high quality recordings from this tour.

Too bad Moonie didnt collapse in Phily I mighta got up there with them on drums.

There will be a LOT more 'one hit wonders'. Artists used to relaese an album full of songs along with their 'hit', so if the artist didn't have an album they were unrecognized. Now there's no need for the album because fewer and fewer people are buying groups of songs (CD's, albums, etc.). More and more people just buy the single 'hits'. So you'll see more acts like Katherine McPhee, Jordan Sparks, and other industry created 'one hitters' come and go (no record contract to sustain their income).

Madonna, Paul McCartney, and soon - U2, unquestionably three of the most successful acts in history, have left their 'record contracts' in favor of different $$ and marketing strategies. Big changes. Entire record companies have based their existence on one successful artist producing huge profits while the company introduced additional artists in hopes of scoring a popular hit. No more, times have changed.

It appears that the times have never been better for unknown artists to 'get their foot in the door' and be heard, but times have never been harder for them to stay successful. The public wants to hear hits, and the public doesn't want to pay for it. Double-whammy. That means sponsors and advertisers must support the artists, and that kind of support is damn near impossible to obtain on a long-term basis. The question sponsors and advertisers always ask is, "What can you do for me TODAY... to make money for us TODAY?"

Watch for a lot of one time successful musicians to be going from world stage to dishwasher.

But it looks like she could stand to drop some poundage. If she keeps eating like she is without any physical fitness she'll quickly turn into a lard ass.

"The band's name (Nickelback) originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger often had to give customers in his previous job at Starbucks, and would frequently say "Here's your nickel back" "

LONDON - Amy Winehouse will not attend this year's Grammy Awards because her request for a visa has been turned down by the U.S. Embassy, her representatives said Thursday.

The Outside Organization, which counts the troubled retro-soul sensation among its clients, said in an e-mail that Winehouse who shot to fame with the autobiographical single "Rehab" was disappointed but had been treated well by embassy staff.

"Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery," the Outside Organization said.

Good. We don't need any (more) foreign drug addicts.

"Canadian folk rock legend Neil Young said he has lost all hope that music can change the world, as he presented a documentary about his 2006 anti-war concert tour at the Berlin film festival on Friday."

Gosh, you mean a poet setting words to a melody can't change the world? Say it isn't so...

(What gives musicians the notion that their opinion on ANY matter is superior to the opinion of others? And that by expressing that opinion in the form of poetry and melody it is more powerful than other means of expression? Does Neil Young feel his thoughts on world matters are more intelligent than anyone/everyone else's thoughts? I love his music but it appears the man making the music might be a pompous fool.)

Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity

Tax the rich, feed the poor

Till there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world

But I don't know what to do

So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding

Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy

Life is funny, skies are sunny

Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly

I'd love to change the world

But I don't know what to do

So I'll leave it up to you

World pollution, there's no solution

Institution, electrocution

Just black and white, rich or poor

Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world

But I don't know what to do

So I'll leave it up to you

She was fully within her rights to do so.

And the people providing the economic backlash against the Dixie Clits were fully within their rights to do so as well.

Such is freedom .

I dunno, Tck, how about "We Shall Overcome", or "Amazing Grace", or "John Brown's Body", or "Do They Know It's Christmas?", or Peter Gabriel's "Biko"? Those seem like pretty powerful songs to me and I think they all had a different role toward changing parts of the world. Nobody ever marched to a mission statement and national anthems are sung, not hummed. The right song for the right time can be extremely powerful.

Personally I think those are all very nice songs but they don't 'move me' toward thoughts of world change. I listen to music more for relaxation, spritual exuberance, and personal message.

It's very cool if others hear music for different reasons though. Music is one medium that can be any kind of a message to anyone, it's all part of an individual choosing. That's what makes music great, to me.

Neil's right, your right, and my right, to think and say what we want, are all the same.

Not trying to be purposefully argumentative, but this is EXACTLY my point. What makes musicians and poets feel their words and points carry more weight than words and points of others?

(P.S. - Neil is the one saying music can no longer change the world. I am agreeing with him 100%.)

Even the musicians themselves say they have no idea what the criteria is for being nominated or winning a Grammy.

Where they found some of the nominees and winners last night was interesting & strange. Good show though! (But the Fan's Choice awards are probably the best.)

I especially liked Alicia Keys.

New hit song:

"Girls in Their Summer Clothes"

Bruce is eternal, see/hear the song/video on www.youtube.com, enjoy.

I think she's a one-hit-wonder (though I'd probaby hit it several times, good lookiing piece of tail).
