I told you I was gonna start a post on the subject. Now what is it? Do you love each other's feet? Arm pits? Can't get enough of each other's pits? Is it role playing? A little "Dead Girl By The Side Of The Road"?? You bring in other dudes? Other chicks? Is it exhibitionism? You did it during the play? Elevators? Taxi cab confessions? Is it like Secretary? She crawls across the floor to bring you your mail? Swingers? Polyamorous? Vacuum-sealed bondage bags? Tie me up tie me down? Subways late at night? On the roof of the apartment building? In the alley outside Elaine's? Although they say Elaine's is dead. So? What's the deal?
And if he's really not gonna tell us anything, at least share some of the most fucked up shit you've ever heard.

Hey, I don't wanna know about anyone's fetishes cos I'm bound to be disappointed! Unless, of course, there are unicorns involved. Then, whoa!
But we've all heard of the pastor found dead with two wetsuits (hee) on, and a dildo in. I found the Atom Age mags about latex and gas masks interesting. I think they're in the UK. Has to be a product of the bomb shelters and blitzkrieg, don't you think? How many kids, all huddled together in the rubble, wearing gas masks, in terror, had their first sexual experience? Enough to publish risque periodicals, I guess.
Russell Brand. I have a fetish for funny Brits.
No, that latex shit never did it for me.
No kidding. I'm not allergic, but I am a rather hairy girl (our Celtic heritage!), so the rubber thing would never have worked.
I do know someone who found their young kid masturbating with a shoe; it could explain some women's, and men's, shoe/foot fetishes.
I've used a gas mask before, but not for sex.
And yeah, the whole seal me up in latex thing and suck the air out is fucked up. I don't even get how that's fun.
I dig public nudity, sex in public, stuff like that. Strip poker. I've never really done any of these things, but it's what I dig.
Hitchcock had a foot fetish. To me, the foot is possibly the least desirable part of the body.
I have 2 story's, 1 funny, 1 freaky. A female nurse who shot darts with our team in Santa Maria told us these.
A guy (she knows no less) gets brought into the emergency room at 3 AM in the morning. He has a dildo stuck in his ass... upon removal, the doctor accidently turns it on. The rest of the staff lost it and had to be removed from the room.
Her brother was a park ranger for the rolling hills and beach at Los Osos Park by Moro Bay. He discovered some dude (after a woman complained) wearing yellow rain gear (a slicker) in the women's outhouses. I guess the dude like to be pissed and shit on... fucking freaky if you asked me.
Of course this was all coming out in the early to mid 80's... nothing touched the fetishes of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng in CA in the 80's. Following that story in the San Francisco Chronicle fucked me up for at least a year.
Oh shit MV, I've run the gambit of orgies. Mostly just pleasure sex with willing participants. All healthy, no strings attached. That shit didn't happen anymore in the 80's with AIDS. Had some fun though.
Sorry to go off topic, but did you guys see the tape over at Americablog of Biden and Palin answering the same questions about Roe v. Wade and any SCOTUS decisions they disagreed with?
Night and day.
Night and day.
Sorry, now back to our regularly scheduled perversions.
snark~! I didn't see the Biden one, though the Palin one needs to be played over and over. I was thinking it might be a good idea to send Couric a thank you for her game changing interview? It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Does the Senate passing the bill mean anything, really? Cos the tv keeps obsessing about it.
Oh shit MV, I've run the gambit of orgies. Mostly just pleasure sex with willing participants. All healthy, no strings attached.
I heard an actor, can't remember who, talk about the kinda shit that went on in the seventies. He said, "It wasn't the least bit unusual to meet a pretty girl, smoke some pot, and spend the afternoon making love."
I was a fuckin' kid at the time. I didn't start having sex until the late 80's. Play time was over by then.
Ah. The Salad Days.
Yeah. People are just as free lovin as they were before, just with the jimmy hats. And it's more hoochie mama wants a spank than all baked and making slow love art.
Prolly just more people would rather watch the Food Channel. I just don't get that, myself.
Giada DiLaurentis is pretty hot. So is the British woman, can't remember the show.
But no, it's no replacement for the real thing.
I think people are more slutty than ever before (t/h to Britnie Spears for inspiring a generation of jailbait skank), but it seems like it's more about the sport of fucking than it is about the love.
I guess there really is a difference between sex and making the love.
DEBATE TONIGHT!!! WOO-HOO!! I think I'm gonna be very disappointed.
How do you know people aren't diggin' on the slow hand? 'Cos Britney's supposedly a slut? Men have made sex a sport for centuries, there's nothing different now, except that we hear more about it. Sadly, women are still called sluts for liking sex and doing it often, while men are still considered manly if they do it. Biologically, it's our prime directive to do it; socially, we're still in the dark ages because society insists on telling us the right or wrong ways to do it. Sex makes people crazy. Always has, always will.
I saw McCain on CNN this morning, being dickish as usual. The "reporter" tried to correct some of his lies, but he just talked over her, and got angry at her. What a fuckwad. He's not trying to hide it.
Did you hear about him "leading" in the Senate last night? McCain couldn't think of anything to say about the bill he "suspended" his campaign over. And when Obama came over to shake his hand, he wouldn't look at him again, and barely growled a greeting. Total arrogant prick. In the bad way, snark, not in a good way... *ducks*
Sadly, women are still called sluts for liking sex and doing it often, while men are still considered manly if they do it.
Well, I think the men are sluts too. Maybe it's just the porn I watch, but this whole "Girls Gone Wild" thing, girls making out in bars...
I think women are more empowered sexually than ever before, and that can't be a bad thing.
But sport fucking like a man isn't exactly the answer.
I'mma get slapped for this, but doesn't it always seem like women find equality in doing what men do? Why settle for that? Men are stupid. Why not surpass what men do and go a step beyond?
Fuck and let fuck I always say.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fetishism,
Or to take arms against a sea of sex slaves,
And by opposing pleasure them? To tie: to lash;
No more; and by an orgasm to say we end
The muscle-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is want to. […] To tie, to lash;
To sleep: perchance to fantasize: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep what dreams may cum.
I can't remember where I read that. But I think it'd look good on a t-shirt.
but doesn't it always seem like women find equality in doing what men do?
When it comes to equal pay for equal work, I'm all for it. But you're over generalizing, MV. Just because Britney is considered a slut (and who can know for sure? Is someone monitoring her sex life, because if they are, they're sick), doesn't mean all women are sluts or the world has turned into sport sex central. And they're not trying to be equal to men, those that aren't ashamed of liking teh sex, or multiple partners. They're trying to do what they want with their lives. What's wrong with that? You don't like a quickie in the broom closet at work? Don't follow the girl in there?
snark, so Hamlet was really talking about the "little death" in his soliloquy? Cool.
Kinky bugger he was.
Imagine what became of poor Ophelia after her watery demise!
Just because Britney is considered a slut
And she is; not for her sex life, but for the jailbait image she promotes. Her career is based on making older men horny.
Dressed in her little schoolgirl outfit, "Oops, I did it again/I played with your heart".
And they're not trying to be equal to men, those that aren't ashamed of liking teh sex, or multiple partners. They're trying to do what they want with their lives. What's wrong with that?
Not a goddamn thing. That's what I'm all about. IF sport fucking aligns with your nature. Women who do because they wanna fuck like a man -- love 'em and leave 'em -- even though it goes against their nature -- are acting like men.
But even then, who cares? As long as there's a whole lotta fucking going on, and not for procreation either. We've got too many people on the planet already.
My neighbors have six kids. Across the street, four more.
Where are we all gonna live??
Now I'm thinking snark ties his wife to a big wheel, spins her around, and throws knives blindfolded, like Eastwood in Bronco Billy.
Our house is way to small for any kinda spinning wheel type contraption.
A small house, presumably too small for a swing...
Damnit! Will you at least say whether I guessed it in the opening paragraph?
Feeling tortured are you?
I saw McCain on CNN this morning, being dickish as usual.
Did you know he muttered "horse shit" into his open mike TWICE during the first debate while Obama was talking?
I say the first debate was about Obama holding his own, introducing himself to the GOoPs, and rising above the mud slinging. And I truly felt like he was addressing MY situation -- two cars, a house, a job -- rather than the Wall Street fat cats.
But the SECOND debate -- Obama has to get McCain to blow his top. Do it smoothly, don't openly provoke him, but put him in a corner where he fails to lose his temper.
Let McRage blow up while Obama stands there with his head knowingly bowed.
Genius move. Mur'ca need to see that man explode into old man gibberish on live TV.
I hope Obama's peeps are working on how to engineer this.
Feeling tortured are you?
That's a HINT, isn't it?? You guys WATERBOARD each other, don't you?!?
Her career is based on making older men horny.
I think it's more like she has a career because of horny old men. There's a huge difference, in my book. And as soon as she came of age, they dropped her like a hot potato. Now it's all slut shaming, all the time.
Women who do because they wanna fuck like a man -- love 'em and leave 'em -- even though it goes against their nature -- are acting like men.
Come on, this is just silly. Do you really think some women go out there and say "I'm gonna do what men do, fuck around and not call the next day, just so I can be like a man." Gimme a break. Especially if it's a woman that really doesn't like fucking around. Who would do that? No woman I've ever known. We're prolly more selective than men, many of whom have no problem boinking anything with the proper orifices, but shit, if I wanted to fuck 'em and leave them, it wouldn't be because I want to be like a man, it'd be because I don't wanna have to pretend to listen to how the goddamn football game went the other night!
Did you know he muttered "horse shit" into his open mike TWICE
Sorry, didn't happen. I watched the tapes. And besides, who cares. I'll bet I could swear ten times worse than that!
Obama has to get McCain to blow his top.
Heh, I was just telling my son this a few minutes ago. And it doesn't look like it'll be that hard. McCain just cannot stand to be challenged. Especially on his judgment picking Palin. It'd be like a Dead Zone moment, where he goes insane and shields himself with a baby.
That's a HINT, isn't it??
Dang, yer working yourself up for some blue balls, there, MV!
Come on, this is just silly.
Just because it's silly doesn't mean it's impossible. They write songs about it and shit.
it'd be because I don't wanna have to pretend to listen to how the goddamn football game went the other night!
Fuckin' A. Ever seen Ang Lee's The Ice Storm? Kevin Kline is having an affair w/ Sigourney Weaver (they're both married), and after doing it Kline starts talking about golf or something.
Sigourney said, "You're boring me. I already have a husband."
And he's like, "Huh. Fair point." And gets up and leaves.
Again, why buy the pig when you just want some sausage?
It'd be like a Dead Zone moment, where he goes insane and shields himself with a baby.
GREAT scene. I had forgotten about that.
Dang, yer working yourself up for some blue balls, there, MV!
Oh, they're already blue. Been blue for a long, long time. Mr. Blue Balls, they call me.
"G'morning, Mr. Blue Balls!"
"Morning, children!"
"Did you get any last night?"
"Now, children. You know Mr. Blue Balls is married to a nun. Ain't had nun, won't gimme nun..."
Snark, if you guys are waterboarding each other, or hanging yourselves while masturbating, it's important to have a good spotter.
Can you lift each other out of a noose at a dead hang? Can you give CPR? Cuz I've heard that waterboarding feels like shit.
Hey there, Mister Blue, we're so pleased to be with you...
I loved Ice Storm and Weaver. Perfect scene. Wasn't that Toby McGuire's big break? or was it Frodo whatsisname?
Pissed me off that Michael Hutchence offed himself. I had tickets to the INXS concert the week after.
Wasn't that Toby McGuire's big break? or was it Frodo whatsisname?
Actually they were both in it. So were Katie Holmes and Christina Ricci. Great movie.
Pissed me off that Michael Hutchence offed himself. I had tickets to the INXS concert the week after.
Kevin Nealon did it on the season finale of Weeds. You think he's gonna hang himself cuz you see him throwing the noose over a beam, the narration is a sad letter he's writing to his ex-wife. He puts the noose over his head...
And it turns out he's flogging the dolphin. As he finishes, he yells, "LEGENDARY!!!!!!"
I guess it's something else. But obviously dangerous.
Sheesh. We used to hold our breath when we were kids to get high. Sorry, but weed's better.
Sorry, but weed's better
THAN EVERYTHING!!!
I could seriously check out any day now, but one of my last remaining dreams is to go to Amsterdam.
After Jamaica, my vacation bar has been raised.
Ideally I'd like to go to Paris and London and spend a day or to in Amsterdam. Or maybe I should just go straight there, since that's gonna be the highlight of the trip.
By the way, SoS, I wanted to send you this the other day.
10 minutes of your guy Carolo stealing the stage from my guy Buddy in a nice little blues instrumental jam.
And as a blues guitar player, I assure you everything you see them do is much, much harder than it looks.
I meant "your guy Carlos".
I dunno if I'd go that far for a good buzz - I wouldn't mind seeing London or Paris for the architecture and museums I've been reading about all my life. St. Petersburg would be way cool.
I dunno if I'd go that far for a good buzz
No, I can do that right here. But it's AMSTERDAM. The only place on earth where you can smoke amazing shit legally in a coffee house.
HAS to be experienced by any aficionado.
Amsterdam is fun. Total party town.
London's cool. The evening pub scene.
Paris. I could live in Paris. Cept they REALLY hate Americans now. Paris is how urban civilization is supposed to be.
Thanks MV... once saw John Lee Hooker in a small bar in Palo Alto, Santana comes on stage and jams with him. Of course Hooker was older than the hills then. But it was still great stuff. And another to the running total of see Santana... only about 25 times.
Once saw Clapton at Frost Amp. on the Stanford Campus and Santana joined him on stage, amazing show!
Listening to "In a Daydream" by the Freddie Jones Band, from 'Waiting for the Night'.
Yeah, I wanted Germany when I went into the Army so I could visit all those European cities. I'd give my left nut to visit the Louvre... for 5 days.
Hey folks, I'll be heading out of town for a week starting Sat. Going to our vacation spot in Mexico, Puerto Penasco or Rocky Point if you're from Arizona.
Enjoy SoS. Travel safe.
Adelaide, Australia, that's where I'd like to settle. Artsy crowd, great museums, great people, great beer. And I think they still like us, though prolly not as much as they used to.
I would really like to see Versailles, though.
Thank you snark.
Have fun, SoS!
Oh yeah, Australia and New Zealand. Another dream vacation.
Fuck it, who knows if it gets really bad I'll just put it on a card and worry about the consquences later... right?
And another to the running total of see Santana... only about 25 times.
Mangled that sentence.
Add that to the running total of seeing Santana... about 25 times.
Fuck, somtimes I type before I think!
somtimes I type before I think!
Think before typing? Where's the fun in that??
Thanks MV... once saw John Lee Hooker in a small bar in Palo Alto,
I never got to see Hooker, or Muddy Waters for that matter. Never saw Santana either.
See, because of my tinnitus, I've reduced my concert-going to Living Legends Only. Need to see Santana.
I got to see BB King a couple times, with Etta James and Buddy Guy, and then I saw Buddy on his own once or twice. That man has a good time on stage, or wherever he wants to take the show. Out into the street? No problem.
Saw Clapton a couple of times. The second time, I remember seeing the add in the Chicago Tribune announcing it:
2 Nights @ Alpine Valley, WI
Eric Clapton and his band
also featuring
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
and The Robert Cray band featuring the Memphis Horns.
I called Jeff and said I can't wait for the Saturday show. Let's go up to the Friday show.
SRV did things I've never seen before on that guitar. And for the encore, Clapton was joined by the late, blind Jeff Healey for "Sunshine of Your Love".
The next night's encore featured Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, and Buddy Guy. "Sweet Home Chicago".
Half an hour later Stevie was dead. Rumor has it that night, Clapton told Stevie, "You are best guitar player I've ever heard."
I'm just glad I had a chance to see him. Nobody else will ever sound like that.
Adelaide, Australia, that's where I'd like to settle. Artsy crowd, great museums, great people, great beer. And I think they still like us, though prolly not as much as they used to.
Australia LOVES us cuz we shoot so many movies there now, like Superman Returns.
Via con huevos, SoS!!!
One of the best shows I ever saw was Albert King headlining, Freddie King, and Alber Collins on the bottom of the bill. Small theatre in Santa Cruz, CA.
Funny story about an SRV show. Gave money to our pot selling friend to buy tickets for a show in Santa Barbara, mid 80's. He buys them and tells us when it is, on the 17th... we come come bopping up early in the afternoon to head out. He comes out with a pale ashen look on his face, he looked at the row number instead of the date. The show was on the 15th, and here it was the 17th. Talk about pissed at the moment. He gave us some weed and called it even. Took a while to laugh about it.
I used to see Robert Cray all the time on the West Coast. He was a staple up and down the bar circuit. I saw him when I first got back from Hawaii in the early 80's in a little bar in Santa Cruz, the Catalyst.
I was gonna add Albert Collins and Albert King to my list.
Okay. Living (or dead now) Legends I Have Seen Live:
Aerosmith
BB King
Bob Dylan
Buddy Guy
Cheap Trick
Eric Clapton
Etta James
FRANK SINATRA
Jackson Browne
Jimmy Buffet (Gog help me)
Koko Taylor
Lyle Lovett
The Neville Brothers
NRBQ
Replacements
Robert Cray
Rolling Stones
Stevie Ray Vaughan
TONY BENNETT
Willie Nelson
That's not all the shows, of course. The 90's were full of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Teenage Fanclub, Soul Asylum, etc.
But I need to compile a list of Living Legends yet to see, while they're still Living.
So far I got:
Santana
Paul McCartney
The Who
Led Zeppelin (if they reunite again)
...
Who am I missing?
I saw the Page/Plant show a few years back and saw Page w/The Firm 2x in NOLA. Pretty cool.
Led Zeppelin just did a reunion show in Europe (I think) with Jason Bonham on drums.
If they bring that show to the states, I'm there. (With earplugs.)
I saw that, but it was delayed cos Jimmy Page got injured or something. He's always doin' that. From what I understand, he used to get stage fright which is why he did the dope for so long. I wonder if he's clean now. He's got one o' them squinchy faces and white hair now, too. And a high pitched voice. But dang, Ziggy could really play guitar, couldn't he?
Speaking o' Bowie, I saw him a couple times, and he's wild!
BOWIE. Needs to be on the list.
Bowie trivia: Bowie heard Stevie Ray play in a club and asked him to play on his album. Stevie agreed, as long as he could use the studio time to record his own album on the side.
So next time you hear "Let's Dance", "Modern Love", or "Little China Girl", you're hearing SRV play guitar.
Stevie's album turned out to be "Texas Flood", featuring "Pride and Joy" which would launch his career.
Well shit, I guess may list is the ones I haven't (or never will have the opportunity to) see but wanted to.
Pink Floyd
SRV
Duane Allman
The Beatles
Steely Dan
Jimmy Buffet
The Eagles (though I have seen Joe Walsh many times)
Bob Marley
Yes
Of course I could go on about the dead ones I've seen.
I used to go see a show in SF almost every weekend, with 3 bands playing, sometimes 4. During the summer we would literally camp out in SF. I saw the Dead 5 nights in a row, which was supposed to be the Deads last 5 shows. I mean entrance was only like 5 - 15 bucks a ticket. Some of the shows I saw were made into albums or movies.
I was at the Peter Frampton show at Winterland Arena, when he recorded "Frampton Comes Alive". Well, most of it was recorded there. The Band, "The Last Waltz", was a pretty good show, a Thanksgiving show with dinner served at Winterland Arena, I got a little ripped.
Some of the better shows:
C,S,N&Y
Johnny Winter (Recorded one of his live shows, I can't remember which)
Edgar Winter w/Rick Derringer
On the same bill:
Jethro Tull
ELO
Rory Gallagher
Robin Trower
Peter Frampton
Fleetwood Mac
Gary Wright
Led Zeppelin
ZZ Top
Lee Michaels
Steve Stills and Neil Young many times. Neil had a house up off Skyline Blvd. in the Santa Cruz Mtns.
I've seen Neil Young several times; I saw Yes in Detroit - then went to boot camp and got sent to San Diego and saw the same show, in the round, again. Two totally different shows. All I remember is we had so many doobies, we just stopped passing them, and each had one, and I had to piss soooo bad, but didn't want to miss the show. Good times. I did the same with Tull, saw them in Detroit, then saw them in San Diego. Cool shit, I was tripping for both of those. Saw ELO w/Heart in Detroit, tripping. Saw Trower, my first concert (not counting Donny Osmond) w/Styx! Ha! Saw Tool a couple times, and Perfect Circle. Saw Soundgarden and Pearl Jam a couple times.
I just can't stand crowds anymore. My next concert will be the symphony. Just love them strings!
You were at "Frampton Comes Alive"!!! EVERYBODY had that record when I was a kid in the Chicago 'burbs. That was great.
I've never really been a Jimmy Buffet fan, but I was at Butler University visiting a friend and we ended up going to the show.
I gotta say, best part of the show was a mid-show breakdown of his earlier stuff, played by him on acoustic guitar and that harmonica player that's been with him forever.
That's when the rest of the crowd went for another $7 margarita, but I was mesmerized.
You still have a pretty good chance of catching The Eagles and Buffet live.
Bob Marley -- sadly, no. But I will say (and coyote can testify to this being true) the sons of Bob are making pretty incredible careers for themselves.
We all know Ziggy, of course, but Stephen is possibly the most talented. And Damian "Jr. Gong" is a force of nature.
Damian's awfully cute, too! They'd be fun to go see, I think. You can't not dance to reggae!
Security is TIGHT at these over-crowded, over-priced shows too. We had a good, older crowd for willie Nelson, but two dudes behind me tried to smoke a bowl and got hauled off by the fuzz.
C'mon. It's Willie Fucking Nelson! I was completely cheesed --I just smoked mine BEFORE the show.
I wanted SO BADLY to be invited up on the tour bus that runs on soybean oil, but they had it parked indoors and backstage.
You can't not dance to reggae!
I'd be dancing, bouncing, the whole bit.
That's another reason not to go anymore, the fookin' smokin' police. Way to harsh a buzz.
This was another incredible show I saw.
Doesn't even list all the bands who were there. Santana, the Doobie Brothers, the Tubes, every local band there was.
Yeah, major parts of "Frampton Comes Alive" were recorded at the show I was at. Hey, I was blown away as well.
In fact now, I don't remember if it was the Tubes or Lee Michaels who opened up for Led Zeppelin, could have been both. I'm sur the Tubes would have been on the bottom of the bill. They were trying that new punk shit out.
Seventied it!!
I thought the Tubes were a comedy band - but they only had that one hit, "She's a Beauty" or something like that, played MTV a lot back in the day. Yeah, we played Frampton over and over, and now he's doing those geico commercials. How sad. I saw a huge concert at Jack Murphy Stadium, Cheap Trick, Pat (boom boom, out go the lights) Traverse, (who I saw later in a pub in Pensacola, drunk outta his gourd), BOC, and a buncha others. I was on crutches for that one. Tried to round a curve at high speed on a motorcycle. Dumb fookin' thing to do. I was the passenger.
Booger!
I loved "She's a Beauty". Rocked out to that when I was a kid. And I think I might even have it on my iPod right now.
When you think about all the great musicians that have died, you wonder what kind of music they'd be putting out now.
My top 2 would be:
1. John Lennon
2. Buddy Holly
Holly was a freakin' GENIUS. So innovative and groundbreaking. I think he'd be an old man now but still putting out some amazing shit.
And Lennon, well, obviously I'd love to hear the last 28 years of music from him.
Fun times on the Boomtown roadways coming back from lunch today.
There was an open cargo truck ahead of me with something enclosed in shoddy-made crates. Pieces of the crates were flying off in the wind and falling on the road in front of me.
It got to be like a video game. Dodging the flying wood.
Speaking of "dodging the flying wood", need to make a note to myself to RSVP in the negative for Thanksgiving at Elton John's house. Never again.
Nah, the Tubes anthem at the time was White Punks on Dope. "She's a Beauty" came out like 10 years later. They were like one of the first Glamour (punk) Bands to ever come out. Too freakin' weird for me.
Funny though, they all came from Phoenix and moved to SF to make it.
I was into the Allman Brothers, the english invasion, Bay Area bands.
Oh yeah, at that SNACK show I saw the Jefferson Airplane. Soon after they were the Jefferson Starship.
One night I saw Steve Stills... he's getting pissed about tuning up his guitar... he can't hear because of the crowd... and he yells at us, "If you could all shut the fuck up, maybe I could hear myself tune up my guitar!"... we start booing him... out walks Neil Young... the crowd goes nuts... they start an acoustic set of Buffalo Springfield songs for about an 1 1/2 hours. Awesome show!
In fact, the keyboardist from the Tubes joined the Dead. Killed himself in 2006.
I saw Starship on a beach in Pensacola. Crazy day, that was. And I'm one of those that really don't give a shit about Lennon. I know he's god to a lot of people, but eh, Beatles. Whatev. Allman Bros, though, I played Live at Filmore East until the album wouldn't turn any more. Loved that one.
I do enjoy a round of "dodge the flying wood" every once in a while. Keeps ya on your toes!
And I'm one of those that really don't give a shit about Lennon. I know he's god to a lot of people, but eh, Beatles.
Blasphemy, Coyote!!!
"eh, Beatles"???
My dad made a Beatles mix tape that he'd play every year when we drove straight thru to Daytona Beach. And he's always cue up "Here Comes The Sun" at dawn.
Back in those days you could still check out vinyl records from the library, so I started studying the Beatles. When I was in high school, the first song I ever heard on CD was "I Saw Her Standing There" and Ringo's drums were so crisp I thought, "Wow. It's not just 'THE BEATLES'. These guys were a real band!!"
From then on I worked fast food gigs and everytime I got paid I went to the record store and picked up another Beatles CD. In chronological order, of course.
In seven years they went from "Love Me Do" to "A Day in the Life". Currently, Guns 'n Roses has spent more than seven years working on their next album, "Chinese Democracy".
There's just nobody that compares or ever will compare to what the Beatles did.
In fact, the keyboardist from the Tubes joined the Dead. Killed himself in 2006.
One of more than a couple of Dead keyboardists who have died, right? I remember that being a joke in "This Is Spinal Tap".
"If you could all shut the fuck up, maybe I could hear myself tune up my guitar!"
HA!! Suck it, Steven. Get a roadie to do it back stage.
Beatles - elevator music. Yawn.
*ducks and runs*
I once bought a Stills album just cos Jimmy Page played on it. Another yawn, though I like Stills. My bro-in-law looked and played guitar exactly like him. Pretty cool.
In My Life off Rubber Soul was our wedding song.
The Beatles are unmatched.
Too much talent to have stayed together longer than they did.
Would have liked to have met John and George. Got to shake Paul's hand on the street in NYC some years ago. I bet Ringo'd be fun to have a few drinks with.
In My Life
Nice choice. Did you ever hear the story about that little harpsichord (sp?) solo in the middle of the song?
Too much talent to have stayed together longer than they did.
You know, I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "Still pissed at Yoko." I don't think it was their egos or talent or Yoko that ended the band.
I think they broke up because they didn't realize they could go off and do solo projects and still come back together.
George obviously had a double album worth of material that the guys wouldn't let him put on a Beatles record. Paul needed to scream out "Maybe I'm Amazed" and John and Ringo needed to do their thing.
They could've done that for a few years and still gotten back together. But the break-up was so harsh that they were all just really pissed at each other. They were smothered by the game and the name and the media. They needed a sabbatical.
Anyway, I don't know if you have McCartney's "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" (recorded with Radiohead's producer), but it's pretty damn good.
DEBATE TONIGHT, 9 PM ET.
Me so happy.
Woohoo! New thread?
Go for it.
The Beatles are unmatched.
The best band in Rock and Roll History!!
There's no denying they're the most successful and influential. It's just that they're, like, the band of my childhood, I was alive in their heyday, I saw 'em live on Ed Sullivan. I liked 'em. But they were my older sister's obsession. To me, they're grouped with Monkees and Partridge Family. John's exploits with Yoko; Paul's lovematch with Linda; that stuff was pretty much the Paris Hilton/Lindsey Lohan tabloid shit of the day. Woohoo, the naked magazine cover was evah so scand'lous at the time. At least in my family.
Coyote, I think what your missing is watching the progression of the Beatles music. From "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" - "Help", through "Rubber Soul" & "Revolver", all the way to the "White Album"... nobody, nobody changed music the way they did with each phase of their music.
It's like listening to the first Led Zeppelin album, then to "Physical Graffiti". Totally opposite ends of their careers. Only the Beatles were the first to do it in such a short revolutionary time.
But they were my older sister's obsession.
Yeah, and Pink Floyd was my brother's obsession, so I never got into them. Then I had another friend who over-hyped Rush, Yes, Jane's Addiction, and many, many others.
That's actually an understandable reaction, I'm saying. It's a shame when that happens.
