Phil Collins is underrated .

Phil is an amazing artist. Plays just about every instrument, sings, writes and so on.

We have a preacher at church that reminds me of him. He is awesome at preaching, teaches our youth, plays guitar, sings and covers for the other drummers when they can’t be there. He’s bald too. Good man.

I woke up with this one spinning around in my head.

BST were very good.
Is Collin’s completely bald now?
I hope not. I am kinda sick if the look.
Yule brenner and Ernie shavers were cool,
But it’s been over done with so many people walking around looking dick heads.
Thank god I still have hair. Extremely thinning. But still I have some.
I don’t even like shaving my face. I can’t imagine having to shave one’s head.

Talk about a multi talented musician , Prince was likely the best . Weird guy , but incredibly talented.
We sure lost a lot of people thru drugs.
Horrible.
Collin’s seems to have avoided that scene. God bless him .

you too!

for the record, the new year actually started dec 21
as i have got older i can more appreciate the spiritual rhythms of mother earth rather than what some azzhat threw on a calendar some 2,000 years ago,

that said peace and prosperity to all!

I just found out Joey Molland, the last remaining band member of the Welsh band Badfinger passed away March 1.

https://youtu.be/N4NXero2HGQ?si=1lnlf2ZZ95pk3jpv

Badfinger was one of those great early 70’s bands that got caught up in the greed of producers, album companies and managers causing two of the bad members to commit suicide.

RIP Joey.

[hacksaw]

I know very little about bad finger
Maybe if I heard their songs I would recognize them . Idk.
Most musicians disgusted with the music sleaze simply quit. They don’t kill themselves over it.
Sleaze maybe a catalyst but it’s not the underlining cause.
These guys may have much deeper issues.
Otherwise there would be upteen thousands of musicians dead everywhere.

That Lone rider video is a good one. I've never heard of Patrick Walsh.

"Used to be strong and stood as one, but ain't got much pride anymore. Got to find a way to make this country free some day.
Ain't if funny no mater how bad things are, some day someones gonna call these the good ol' days"

If one has lived in SoCal in the late 20th Century, this will be evocative:



Go See Cal


hes got an 89 chevy with 350 under hood
an 85 ford shes still runnin good
hes got a near new 86 cadillac deville
so go see cal if you want an automobile

hes got an 88 ford with a 351
a z28 if you wanna have some fun
got a shinning 84 pontiac bonneville
so go see cal if you want an automobile

hes got an 85 volkswagen cabriolet
an 82 chevy thats on sale today
a tiger named spot or maybe hes a seal
so go see cal if you want an automobile

hes got a near new 86 chevy pickup truck
an 81 honda if you wanna save a buck
just 3000 miles on an 80 coupe deville
so go see cal if you want an automobile

The good old days doesn’t mean these days are particularly bad ya know.

However Ed Sullivan was definitely a good part of the old days.

 Here we go guys.

Same song, maybe 10 years apart.

Eddie Cochran, many believed was the next Elvis.
Before he died, killed in a car accident at I think 20 years old, wrote this classic.
One of the last gasps of the idyllic 50s.

10 years later, what a difference a decade can make.
Blue Cheer covers Summertime Blues, when LSD replaced
beer and the drive in, and Viet Nam killed off the Bobby sockers.

Great song.

Eddie Cochran was good.
Blue cheer kinda average .

You missed the who. How can you possibly missed the who ?

I also dispute your comment that the 50’s ended with Eddies  death being the end of the 5O’s music . If that’s what you meant . I mean he did die in 1960
Which does seem tuff having been so close to buddy hollys death in “59
But the truth is Chuck berry was still charting Rick n roll hits in 1964
I can’t say off the top of my head when Elvis last chart hit was . Burning love . Definite rock song
May have been on the early 70’s
So 50’s rockers were still rolling.
If I could think of more ,
When was garden party by Ricky Nelson?
And there was many many black artists
Thst had hits in the 50’s and Kept it going .
James brown comes to mind.

I don’t dispute Cochran had a lot of great stuff going on , he was ahead of his time in the studio .
But his death did not define an end to an era.
LSD did not replace beer.

Yes I do.
The 50’s would be Good Ol days for sure. The Golden Days. Women would probably disagree and say the 80’s was better.
I would call 1929-1945 bad years.
The Good Ol’ days are different for each race, person and generation but in my life I wouldn’t call this the best years.
 I have had better and worse years. It’s part of the ride.
The 70’s, 80’s and 90’s is what I remember as good ol days.
I was young, healthy and having a blast.

I can relate.

Archie was great.
You had to love Edith.
Meathead, everyone knew a meathead in real life.

And Gloria was gorgeous.

[hacksaw]

Meathead is still a meathead in real life

Well I am not getting into social engineering .snd I am not going to apologize for being a white guy. we have  had enuff of that crap with Biden.
Maybe u weren’t around in the 50’s
I was  and I can tell u that except for air raid drills life was simpler and much more patriotic and I fell pretty good . Or rather I didn’t know not to feel pretty good despite my dad’s moods. The hardy boys , sat morning westerns
Smallish New England town with farms and factories along the railroad. Cops that were trustworthy .even Lord’s Prayer in school

My kids didn’t have that freedom to roam wherever . Woods fields orchards . They were not fenced in like today . Or McMansions or state owned property to save forest for the people as long as they don’t actually use it.
We didn’t lock our doors or have scum bags stealing deliveries off our front steps . now it’s car jacking . Shootings. Are this the makings of my kids golden age? The jury is still out. I hope the trend is for peace and prosperity . I am still alive which in of itself is amazing so
I have hope.
