!!! I can’t believe this whole time I’ve known a Judas Priest song! “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming” is a song I’ve heard here and there on the radio (and in one video game) but I never knew who sang it! I feel a little silly but I’m excited to learn that. Jo, don’t get me started on Fallen! No weaknesses. It’s amazing! I think “My Last Breath” is my favorite Evanescence song. Amy Lee, in my opinion, has the best voice of her generation—and that’s saying something coming from me. Golden voice. Reply #261. Apr 02 19, 11:26 AM |

All this time Jen was a huge Priest fan and didn't know it! :-) I used to make fun of that song for years because I thought it was nerdy and very unPriest like. I guess it has kind of grown on me over the years. The radio stations sure slobber over it, and I am all about radio station songs, believe me. NOT! You know that one line in the song - "Aim for a new tomorrow" - where Rob blasts a gaping hole in the ozone on the word "tomorrow", well, I couldn't wait to hear Pat "Metal Maniac" Boone hit a note like that when he got to that part, and sure enough, he did it probably even better than Rob. NOT! Reply #262. Apr 03 19, 3:42 PM |

This talk reminds me of Bob Dylan singing "Here Comes Santa Claus"... I heard that and evilly thought, "Stick with writing music, buddy." He's clearly a great writer. As a singer, I am not crazy about his voice. Reply #263. Apr 04 19, 11:06 AM |

That is so crazy ironic, Jen. I just mean that you should happen to mention that. I have loved making "comparison jokes" all my life, and one of my favorites has always been comparing Rob Halford's vocals to Bob Dylan's - like there's any comparison at all. You know, stuff like, "Yeah, the lead singer for so and so makes Rob Halford look like Bob Dylan." However, I gotta be very careful with that horrible, totally uncalled for mud-slinging around here. Too many folks will assume that I'm criticizing Dylan or saying that he isn't at all talented or whatever. It's like, no, that's not what I'm saying at all. Just like you, I feel that Dylan is a great songwriter but he isn't exactly a world class vocalist. I mean, please. Facing reality head-on is something that a lot of people just seem to have a really hard time doing for some totally-foreign-to-me reason. Anyway, here's one you might enjoy dialing up and listening to. You just reminded me of it over on your Music Game thread...…. I just got into town and I had nothin' to do And I happened upon this telephone booth With a whole buncha writin' coverin' one entire wall It said "If you ain't afraid to spend a dime And if you wanna have a real good time Just give Lucille a call!" :-) Now underneath her number was this big long list That said she'd do that and it said she'd do this I let my fingers do the walkin' through all kinda stuff I'd missed! I shuffled through my pockets till I found myself a dime I heard a ring or two and I got her on the line And I said "Lucille? I'd like to have a real good time!" :-) Mighta found a lover Mighta made a new friend Well, I ain't had a real good time Since I don't know when (since I don't know when) She said "Who are you and what is this?" I said "It's Jim, Lucille, and it's about this list" Which I began to read with particular emphasis - On my favorite numbers - 1, 5, 11, 14, 22, 33, and 41 through 59! She said "Where are you?" and I gave her the street She said "You sound like a guy I'd LOVE to meet She said "Stay right where you're at and I promise you a REAL good time!" :-) Mighta found a lover Mighta made a new friend Well, I ain't had a real good time Since I don't know when About 15 minutes after my arrest In the middle of the questions I tried to protest That I wasn't the phantom obscene phone caller Or master of crime Before they took me away, they allowed me one call And I recalled that number on the phone booth wall And I said "Lucille? Me and you got a altogether Different idea about a real good time!" I lost my lover I lost my new friend Well, you can't have a real good time Doing 1 to 10 :-( "Hello, Lucille? Listen here, honey I was wonderin', I'm gonna be tied up for quite a while here And uh, I was wonderin' about, oh, maybe ten years or so When I get outta here if you'd mind if I gave you a call? Hello? Hello, Lucille? Hello?"... A Real Good Time - Jim Stafford Reply #264. Apr 04 19, 12:06 PM |

Haha, I had never heard of that song. Reading the lyrics was like reading a story—I like that! It’s fun sometimes when a song is like a story. Sadly, you’re right. Sometimes it’s like a crime to have a different opinion. Someone may say something like, “Hey, Meg Myers stinks!” and I’ll be a grown up and say that I happen to disagree and they’re simply wrong about their opinion of Meg Myers and likely about every decision they’ve made in their lives. (kidding) Really though, adults disagree sometimes… it really shouldn’t be a big deal. Reply #265. Apr 05 19, 8:39 AM |

Glad you liked that crazy Stafford tune, Jen. Here's another fun song from another good ol' boy...…. Well, I've been a trucker more than 20 years From the Charleston coast to the Jersey piers Sharin' the road with race car nuts and loggers Sunday drivers, scouts on hikes, Hell's Angels on Harley Bikes I never met a roader I didn't like - 'cept them joggers One day I'm rollin' down 101 I got 18 wheels under 14 tons Radio playin' a good ol' country rocker The day was sure a trucker's dream The sky was sunny and the air was clean When up ahead on the road I seen one o' them joggers He was dressed like they do in baby blue With shortie shorts and a headband too I yelled "Sweetie, I bet that you are the hit of the men's room locker But I'm a runnin' late with an overload So get your Adidas offa this road I'm L.A. bound and I don't slow down for dead raccoons or joggers!" Well, without breakin' stride or losin' poise He said "You and that rig sure make some noise But I can't talk now 'cause I'm racin' against the clocker But it's just nine miles to Forker's Leap And if you ain't afraid to race that heap We'll see how that rig holds up against a SUPER jogger!" Race? I must be hearin' wrong The boy's been runnin' in the sun too long The only place he's a racin' to is a doctor's But before I could say "Thank you, no" The fool yells "Ready, get set, go!" And the race is on, we're off and gone, me and that maniac jogger! Well, I could've left him far behind But I played with him like a fish on a line And I stayed about a half a mile behind the sucker Then I pushed her up to 45 And he see's me comin' and he starts to fly So I pushed her to 60 and shift to high and finally catch that jogger - and it wasn't easy! :-( Now I'm doin' 80 and I turned to check And he's stayin' right with me neck and neck His heart's a thumpin' like my engine goin' pop! Pop! Pocker! Then he yells out "I hope you're set 'Cause I ain't shifted into second yet" Then he unwinds and leaves me behind, eatin' the dust of a jogger! :-( Then I see him joggin' up into the sky And he yells "Hey, thanks for the exercise I hope that losin' that race was not too shockin' Ya see, my dad says heaven's no place to run And I try to be an obedient son So I have to come down to earth to do my joggin'" Well, that's my story, take it or leave it My trucker buddies, they believe it So do them race car nuts and Harley hoggers And I'm still drivin' much the same 'Cept I don't call nobody names And I tip my hat each time I pass one of them good ol' joggers! :-) The Jogger - Bobby Bare Reply #267.

It's snowing outside the rumbling sound Of engines roar in the night The mission is near, the confident men Are waiting to drop from the sky The blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare Bavarian alps that lay all around They seem to stare from below The enemy lines a long time passed Are lying deep in the snow Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare They're closing in, the fortress is near It's standing high in the sky The cable car's the only way in It's really impossible to climb They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day The panicking cries, the roaring of guns Are echoing all around the valley The mission complete, they make to escape Away from the eagle's nest They dared to go where no one would try They chose to fly where eagles dare Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden God bless the mighty warriors who are the defenders of freedom.

I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all Okie From Muskogee - Merle Haggard Check this out, Jen - I just recently found out that my grandmother's sister recently became the mayor of Muskogee, the town where I grew up. Here's a little article about it. I'm trusting that none of you are stalkers or serial killers or anything like that. :-p https://www.muskogeepolitico.com/2019/04/janey-boydston-sworn-in-as-new-muskogee.html Reply #275.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe I could move back over there and set up some kind of criminal empire, and if I ever get caught, Janey could just get the charges dropped. Then I could just make the proper adjustments that I needed to make, and then resume as the kingpin of my big tough criminal empire. :-) Ahyuk! Only kidding. Don't think I would ever make a good criminal. That reminds me of a wild and crazy little news story I heard probably 15 or 20 years ago about some nut over in Oregon who ran some kind of ad that involved his little 1-800 number that he somehow managed to establish: 1-800-NEED POT. Ha! Can you imagine? Crazy world, man! Reply #277. May 09 19, 7:31 PM |

The Doors - The Soft Parade When I was back there in seminary school There was a person there Who put forth the proposition That you can petition the Lord with prayer Petition the lord with prayer Petition the lord with prayer You cannot petition the lord with prayer! Can you give me sanctuary I must find a place to hide A place for me to hide Can you find me soft asylum I can't make it anymore The Man is at the door Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy Champion sax and a girl named Sandy There's only four ways to get unraveled One is to sleep and the other is travel, da da One is a bandit up in the hills One is to love your neighbor 'till His wife gets home Catacombs Nursery bones Winter women Growing stones Carrying babies To the river Streets and shoes Avenues Leather riders Selling news The monk bought lunch Ha ha, he bought a little Yes, he did Woo! This is the best part of the trip This is the trip, the best part I really like What'd he say? Yeah! Yeah, right! Pretty good, huh Huh! Yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number Successful hills are here to stay Everything must be this way Gentle streets where people play Welcome to the Soft Parade All our lives we sweat and save Building for a shallow grave Must be something else we say Somehow to defend this place Everything must be this way Everything must be this way, yeah The Soft Parade has now begun Listen to the engines hum People out to have some fun A cobra on my left Leopard on my right, yeah The deer woman in a silk dress Girls with beads around their necks Kiss the hunter of the green vest Who has wrestled before With lions in the night Out of sight! The lights are getting brighter The radio is moaning Calling to the dogs There are still a few animals Left out in the yard But it's getting harder To describe sailors To the underfed Tropic corridor Tropic treasure What got us this far To this mild equator? We need someone or something new Something else to get us through, yeah, c'mon Callin' on the dogs Callin' on the dogs Oh, it's gettin' harder Callin' on the dogs Callin' in the dogs Callin' all the dogs Callin' on the gods You gotta meet me Too late, baby Slay a few animals At the crossroads Too late All in the yard But it's gettin' harder By the crossroads You gotta meet me Oh, we're goin', we're goin great At the edge of town Tropic corridor Tropic treasure Havin' a good time Got to come along What got us this far To this mild equator? Outskirts of the city You and I We need someone new Somethin' new Somethin' else to get us through Better bring your gun Better bring your gun Tropic corridor Tropic treasure We're gonna ride and have some fun When all else fails We can whip the horse's eyes And make them sleep And cry Reply #279.

Hahaha, when you’re running Oklahoma, remember me! :) Wow, that 1-800-NEED POT guy was crafty for even thinking of doing something like that. The whole song is amazing. But here are my favorite bits: “Here I am a rabbit hearted girl Frozen in the headlights… This is a gift It comes with a price Who is the lamb And who is the knife?
