In Elvis Costello's autobiography, he said something like when he got started everyone was writing songs about wizards and dragons, which just didn't do anything for him. Gave me a chuckle. I like both, but EC is top 5 for me.

I think Elton John's musicality made up for some pretty goofy lyrics from Bernie Taupin, including CitW. A-side of Madman Across the Water just might be my single favorite album side.

I like Zeppelin, The Kinks, and a few others. But as a genre, Classic Rock is ridiculously overrated.

1. Can I say Prince? Prince. As a guitarist, musician, Minnesotan, and all-around cool weirdo, Prince is peerless. I just don't think his songs are all that great. I've never met anyone who is as big of a Prince fan as they claim to be. 2. Rolling Stones. Has anyone gotten bigger ripping...

NOT a recommendation: I watched the first few episodes of History of the World Part II. Oof...it is ROUGH. How many times can you tell the same dick joke or go to the casual racism well? I've never been a Mel Brooks fan and this solidifies it. Just awful. CRINGE is what the kids say...

I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle. (I like this line because it introduces a generation of rap fans to the greatest drummer of all time and also knows enough about him to know he would berate his band). I got mad hits like was Rod Carew.

What are some of your favorite lyrics, even taken out of the context of the song. They're just straight up cool lines. Some of my favorites: I run on whiskey and risk and ennui and impatience. I like to sleep with the windows open, and you keep the windows closed, so goodbye. This really blew...

Yes, and the stages run counter-clockwise starting in the upper left.

Picked up the new Trombone Shorty album, Lifted (2022). FANTASTIC!! Perfect mix of funk, rock, and second line.

You know you're getting old when you're favorite rockers start having hip surgery.

These posts remind you of what a weird cool guy Prince was. Truly one of a kind. Here's a video of him creeping on stage with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings (one of my personal favorite). I like how he casually steps in line with the horns, rips off a 2 minute guitar solo, then just walks off...

I don't get it. What is this trying to say?

Maybe just cause you've heard it too much. Bang A Gong wears on me half way through the song. Also, Hunky Dory.

You can bang that nonsense right on over to the Music Hot Takes thread.

T-Rex is closer to humans in Earth's timeline than the stegosaurus. Or something like that.

Why? Jealousy? Darryl Hannah is one of the few celebrities that truly seems out of my league. :)

Right? CSN(Y) is one of my favorite bands from the era. And this thread is the first I've heard Crosby was a jerk. Just never interested in their personal lives I guess. This is also the first I'm hearing that Neil Young is married to Darryl Hannah. WHAT?! Good for ol' Neil I guess...

I saw them at the X about a decade earlier. By far the best arena show I've ever attended. Locked-in in everyway. Perhaps my unexpected favorite was their organist who killed on some extended organ solos. A guy sitting near kept yelling "play Wooden Ships!" and then would sing "four dead...

A couple smaller parks that are worth a day trip if you're in the area: Muir Woods - cool that those big redwoods are just across the Golden Gate bridge from downtown San Francisco. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield - Just outside Atlanta. Found a tail plaque describing how an Alabama...

Here's a song from The Chieftains & Elvis Costello about your in-laws overstaying their welcome.
