..Doesn't anybody around here listen to real music? Where's the Three Doors Down, Third Eye Blind, Five For Fighting, Green Day, Train, Joe Jackson, etc.? Come on people. Get yourselves some real music.
Okay, I'm running now.
Boots Randolph, Dave Clark 5, Inkspots, Gary Lewis and the playboys, Nancy Sinatra, Herb Alpert, Glen Cambell + others, and these are all albums I had before I was 14. Then of couse who could forget The Monkeys, Tommy James and the Shondells, T-rex, (many beats and styles have been stolen from them IMO, Cars?).. SteppanWolf, Ten Years after, Deep purple,(Made in Japan woot), the list goes on..
When my Mom, a sunday school teacher mind you, wanted to get me an album for my 15th birthday, and wanted it t be a surprize. I told her to go to a music store in the city, and ask them what to buy. Mom was in her 40s and the last guy she listened to was Eddy Albert, she was not in tunes to the new music lol. So this music place, which was also a headshop, gave her "Yes, close to the edge" My friend liked Alice Cooper and I liked him some also.
I miss Eddie Albert though, For years I could recite and sing his songs with friends who remembered him also. Music is such a powerful tool is it not? Just thought of Don Mclean..
"I went down to the Sacred store,
where I heard the music years before,
but the man there,
said the music,
wouldn't play
And in the streets the people screamed
the children cried and the poets dreamed
not a word was spoken
the church bells all were broken
The three men I admire the most
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
all caught the last train for the coast
the day, the music, died"
Don't know why I went into that lol, maybe I,ve got "To much time on my hands" (Styx BTW)
