This is about everything rock and roll from the 50's to the present, but that's only the beginning. Any poets out there? I have a couple of poems to share before too long. Misunderstood song lyrics are always a lot of fun. Favorite album cover art? Any wild or interesting concert experiences? Prefer Motown to rock? Jazz? Blues? You can share all of these things and much more here. Come one come all to the midnight ball! Let's do this!

Yeah, congratulations! 1000 posts, nice going! I always loved westerns when I was a kid, but mainly just because they had horses :-). Although when I was about six I used to tell everyone I was going to marry John Wayne. The Viking likes them for the fighting. The Fort is on the outskirts of a large town called Wolverhampton, and it's called that because there's no way you're getting in unless you've been invited haha. Reply #1002. Mar 12 18, 4:55 AM |

The Floating Seeds, guffaw! Imagine the group members trying to explain in interviews where they came up with that! Not much scares an Angel. The Viking has two shirts that sum up tough biker dudes. The first says : 'Never p*** off a biker, you , don't know how many brothers he has' The second, (my personal favourite), says : 'I am a man of the Norse. I fear nothing but Odin and my wife' Reply #1006. Mar 12 18, 5:59 AM |

So you just made all that up, you naughty boy, you? That's some very specific imagination you got yourself! And I was gonna ask if there really was a town called Hinkydink. Should have known that was too good to be true! Reply #1009. Mar 12 18, 7:30 AM |

What a great video, Mark. Thanks for posting that. I LOVE Buffalo Springfield, especially "For What It's Worth." I can't believe he called them "The Buffalo Springfield." What a dork. And Neil Young, like Tom Petty, is definitely an acquired taste, but I love them both. I'm still in mourning for my Tom Petty. Did you know Joni Mitchell wrote the song "Woodstock?" She wasn't invited to Woodstock, mind you (and what a mistake that was -- I'll bet it really hurt her feelings, being so tender-hearted,) so she wrote the song and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sang it and it exploded. I like her cover of her own song better, though. But, "Deja Vu" is on my list of Perfect Albums. I probably forgot to mention them, but God knows how. I'm sure there's a Mamas and the Papas album that is also perfect, if I think about it. And Janis Joplin has a perfect album, if I recall. "Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away" I know that's not the line you were going for, but that's the one I always remember when I think of this song. You were probably going for this: "There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down" Let's find Buffalo Springfield singing all of For What It's Worth" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5JCrSXkJY Let's find Joni singing "Woodstock" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aOGnVKWbwc "We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to The Garden Well maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe it's the time of man I don't know who l am But you know life is for learning" Reply #1010.

Question for you, Jo - Is wolverhampton on he way to Longleat House? If so, I have been there when going to Longleat. If not, well it was a long time ago. But when I read that name, a little bell sort of jingled in my head. Reply #1011. Mar 12 18, 3:52 PM |

Thanks, Elle, for Joni Mitchell and Woodstock. I didn't know she wrote it and I had never heard her sing it. Thanks for the treat! Reply #1014. Mar 12 18, 4:28 PM |

And because being ignored is really horrible, if you think about it, and even if you don't, and because I can't be "too emotional" while also being "too logical," because that is completely illogical and nuts, and because I'm sorry, but no one gets to threaten me, even on this flat, emotionless screen, not even e-fake people, let's do this one. Bye Kids. Gotta fly. "Just A Song Before I Go" (Crosby, Stills, & Nash) Just a song before I go To whom it may concern Travelling twice the speed of sound It's easy to get burned When the shows were over We had to get back home When we opened up the door I had to be alone She helps me with my suitcase She stands before my eyes Driving me to the airport And to the friendly skies Going through security I held her for so long She finally looked at me in love And she was gone Just a song before I go A lesson to be learned Travelling twice the speed of sound It's easy to get burned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF-oWhD2itE Reply #1015.

Kev - I had a great trip, I went with a boyfriend at the time, his mother lived in Scotland, so I got to see many things there. His Uncle lived in Reading, England so another place to stay! So we did a lot of touristy things, plus being welcomed at his Uncle's club -they loved us, especially because of American participation in WWII, They hadn't forgotten. He went back to Scotland with his mother for a few days (the mother and I had "words" when we went to Windsor castle), so I travelled around for a few days by myself. A Swiss guy tried to pick me up, when I went to Salisbury, But it was great there anyway. I travelled on BritRail, which was a great way to go, just get on and get off whenever you wanted too. Remind me to finish this later, you don't want to leave me in Salisbury! Reply #1017. Mar 12 18, 4:44 PM |
