41 Heh. My husband is youtubing sounds of the seventies now. Every night. Too loud.

So, here's the thing: I have tinnitus, and music and television exacerbate it. And, I've been tired of the sounds of the seventies since, like, 1978. He doesn't get it that it physically makes my ears hurt. I just want to go to another room.

Old Loves Die Hard is great too. They brought in Barry Palmer to replace Helmut Kollen after he left to make a solo album and then he died from carbon monoxide poisoning while listening to the tracks in his car in the garage while it was running. Stupid!

Helmut was great on bass and vocals though. Palmer was good, but they went on a downward spiral from which they never recovered after Kollen died.

98 i think it's worth reiterating that the story you have no doubt learned, that custer and his brigade came upon stuart's division flanking the union lines on the third day of gettysburg and he rashly charged routing the far larger force. it didn't happen that way.

the engagement at the "east cavalry field" (available at wikipedia) was morse complex than that. it was mostly fought by dismounted cavalry with skirmishing lines and artillery (!), flanking movements, as well as cavalry charges. twice custer charged oncoming confederates at the direction of his commander, gregg. they were dramatic clashes that blunted stuart's advance, but only as part of a larger tactical defensive scheme.

check out the wiki entry. it's interesting.

The crooks down in Columbia passed a big gas tax increase -- nothing but bullshit. Claimed the public was clamoring for it. It's for the roads. They is gonna fix 'em. Yeah, right.

They are fixing the road in front of my house here. Resurfacing it. The outfit doing is of course owned by one of the relatives of a local politician. What the hell they're doing, I don't know.

They're making a lot of racket, and have been for the last month, but they aren't anywhere near finished.

I don't much about road equipment, but after seeing a parade of I don't how many $millions worth of equipment parading up and down, I got interested.

They're using a "reclaimer". This is a YUGE contraption that chews up the old asphalt, and digs into the dirt below and mixes it up, spewing out what looks like loose dirt behind. They then roll it. They have a tanker truck running in front of the reclaimer with a big tank of some green solution that is sprayed into the mix as it's chewing everything up.

That thing makes the god-awfulest racket you've ever heard. There's a lot of rock underground here and my god, it rattled the cages all over the place. I thought the windows were going to shatter.

Anyway, they've been working on this, oh 3 - 4 mile stretch of road for over a month, and it looks like it's going to be a mess. They've washboarded it. After the reclaimer and rolling and rolling, and doing a bunch of other crap, some hellacious washboarding developed in some spots.

They're going to spend god knows how much money on it, and it's going to be nothing but a fuck up, I'm sure.

212 163 The 10 best "smooth sounds of the '70s" songs (and since I have the world's best non-subjective musical taste, this list is definitive):

1. Dancing in the Moonlight, by King Harvest
2. Clair, by Gilbert O'Sullivan
3. Funny Funny, by Sweet
4. Down by the River, by Albert Hammond
5. Time in a Bottle, by Jim Croce
6. I Kept on Loving You, by the Carpenters
7. Everybody Plays the Fool, by the Main Ingredient
8. The Time Has Come, by Bridey Murphy
9. Love Will Keep Us Together, by Captain & Tenille
10. Carolina in My Mind (1976 version), by James Taylor

Keep in kind this list is EXCLUSIVELY about "smooth" or "soft rock" songs -- not about the "best" songs in general.

Usually, I hate "soft rock," but these ones -- the best of the genre!
Posted by: zombie at May 10, 2017 08:16 PM (DQ4Fv)


Good list, but no America? They practically defined soft rock for awhile. I'm not crazy about them, but they were very very popular at the time.

Dean Friedman

Way on the other side of the Hudson
Deep in the bosom of suburbia
I met a young girl she sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Standing by the water fall in Paramus Park
She was working for the friends of BAI
She was collecting quarters in a paper cup
She was looking for change and so was I
She was a Jewish girl, I fell in love with her
She wrote her number on the back of my hand
I called her up, I was all out of breath
I said, "Come hear me play in my rock and roll band"
I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans
I picked her up in my new V double you van
She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath
I said "Hi", she said, "yeah, I guess I am"
Ariel, Ariel

That happens with the lead track of all my playlists. I don't ever listen to the Immigrant Song by Zeppelin any more because of the first-song-on-playlist-gets-old effect.

on amazon alexa you can't have it set to shuffle, I don't think. You can say "Shuffle," then it does, but usually the first song has started playing and is not shuffled.

For a while, the first semi-beats of Immigrant Song and then "Alexa, Shuffle" and "Alexa, Skip" were daily things for me.

And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine
And you smile
Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah, ...

It's all part of the Zepplin/Who/Stones axis.

Anyway, still don't like that album, but now thought Todd Rundgren was a genius.

He's certainly led an interesting life. For years he thought he was Liv Tyler's father until a genetic test proved that Steve Tyler was the father. Oops.

He tired of the music business and came this ][ close to taking a regular job as a computer programmer. He still spends a lot of time coding software but I'm not sure whether he markets it.

It's not the 'best,' but it usually was the last song and those first few notes got everyone on the floor--- Freebird.

before "the people" get tired of the intrigue and just tune in to comedy shows (designed to mislead/dis-inform/mis-inform)?

well the number was long ago reached for a passive population, but when those people are put under duress, they are forced to make real evaluations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to make it clear that he had nothing to do with President Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, who was leading the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

'Don't be angry with me. We have nothing to do with that,' Putin said to CBS News' Elizabeth Palmer, through his press aide Dmitry Peskov, who was translating. The Russian leader also noted that, 'Your question looks very funny for me.'

By the way, shouldn't there be an "alleged" before the word "Russian" in this phrase "investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election."

It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

766 Color My World
Posted by: Very Irredeemably Undude at May 10, 2017 09:22 PM (2X7pN)


Played at every wedding for at least a decade. And poor Terry Kath is just terribly off key at the end.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at May 10, 2017 09:23 PM (mbhDw)


True Story: Kath hated the song and didn't want to sing it. The rest of the band took him out to a restaurant, got him smashed, then dragged him back to the studio where he was too loaded to refuse to sing the song.

I'm a huge Kath fan. He's usually spot on with his vocals but slipped there.

I played keyboards for a band that was big in the Dallas area in the mid-to-late seventies. I bet I've played Colour My World more than Robert Lamm. I remember a huge quincinciera where we played the song for probably an hour.

Kath was considered the greatest rock guitarist by none other than Hendrix. Sadly, as they took a popper turn, his talents were wasted in the background.

But I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
Do again and again

Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Fashion!
We are the goon squad

Yep. Plus he battled drugs, alcohol, and depression.

I last saw him in November 1977 in Dallas. I think that was his second-to-last live performance.

I first saw them at the Hemisfair in San Antonio during the summer of 1968. Without my parents. Kids today would never understand how much freedom we had as children.

Really don't mind if you sit this one out
My word's but a whisper your deafness a SHOUT
I may make you feel but I can't make you think

So you ride yourselves over the fields
And you make all your animal deals
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick

I wonder how the old folks are tonight.
Her name was Ann, and I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowin' what to do

Carefree Highway
Let me slip away on you
Carefree Highway
You've seen better days
The mornin'-after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you.

Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied
With knowin' I got no one left to blame

Carefree Highway
I've got to see you, my old flame
Carefree Highway
You've seen better days
The mornin'-after blues, from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you.
