I did make love to a really slim
girl years ago … I remember thinking at the
time that it was like holding a size 14 chicken ….

Now if you change back 'chicken' to 'ticket' the girl becomes even slimmer...

…. It was down in Tassy …
they breed 'em slim down there ...

If rap/hip-hop didn't kill rock, it certainly hurt it.

Rock hurt itself by becoming so effing boring and predictable.

It doesn't work like that. It isn't a competition. Everything has its time. Things evolve. Maybe a sound advice is to try and keep up with the times.
Listen to what's around. Doesn't matter whether it's rock & roll or not.

That's what Mick tries to do....and gets pilloried for it.

Today is a new day...

To instantly improve your mood, listen to FOGHAT’s Stone Blue.

Thank you PaleRider well put.

First was the MTV and the FM radio hits. Now Internet has definetely killed the role that rock music had in the 60s and the 70s

Jerry Lee Lewis’ Live at The Star Club is the greatest live album ever.

The Beatles - observe daily.

Observation: play 1x in the a.m. and every hour thereafter you will inadvertently bellow outloud every hour:
TALLAHASSEE LASSIE! well she’s a TALLAHASSEE LASSIE!

I miss the original line up of Third Eye Blind - Stephan Jenkins a truely great song writer and the booming sonic guitar of Kevin Cadogan.

True, Jlowe. I'm a bit conservative when it comes to The Rolling Stones. I think they should stick to their "schtick" if you know what I mean. And I think there comes an age where you tend to be too old to adapt to trends. Anyway, Jagger had his chances on his solo albums. But didn't take them (imo)...

FANKS 35 .... Indian laughed
for decades about the size 14 chick...

We wrecked Tassie when we were down
there … stole an antique violin from
a classically trained girl then took it
back and had a slash in the blackberries
that she'd just picked ….Fell out of an apple
tree and lived with some hillbillies... Life was free .. the laughter never stopped

But when we came back Indian married
lost his freedom and became an alcoholic … drank
himself to death...I tried to tell him that he was
chaining himself but he was too far gone to listen …. died in a hospital bed....

J. Geils Band/Peter Wolf and Cheap trick should get more acclaim.

You know this is an oldies forum when people's musical observations for today includes numbers like
Jerry Lee Lewis, J Geils Band, The Beatles, AC/DC, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bix Beiderbecke and the Rolling Stones...

As my grandmother used to say: It's a free country, you have a right to be wrong.

Angus rules! Go Grandma!

Baroque music in the morning.
Rock and soul starting 6 PM.
That's my diet.

heres another observation.

no one ever has an opinion on depeche mode.

i used to be subjected to this mob for years as my older sister was a fan, but i still cant fathom if they were good or bad.

Never was a big fan of Depeche Mode, but heard Personal Jesus on Jonesy's Jukebox radio show the other day and had to crank it up!

I hear and feel connections between Brian Jones slide guitar solo on I Wanna Be Your Man and Mick Taylor's slide guitar solo on I Don't Know Why.

Rap killed Rock? Well, my observation is that some Hip-hop stuff at the moment is much more rocking, grooving and innovative than Rock, which seems to go through an identity crisis and Greta Van Fleet is the living proof of that.

well i didnt click on the link yet, but will ty,
surely agree here and there. a matter of taste for certain as always, act to act;
and i tend to be too forgiving cause when we were young that rock and roll noise was primitive ugly to some adults and let us know it...
...but i do see a LOT of reductionist and easy, casual violence-porn,
not hairspray metal glitter bands, stupid but not too much uber self-deprecating
ugly vicious and demeaning language as cookie cutter essential prerequisites
for an urban kid to get signed. putting on a dam beetle boots or hairdo ; or challenging lyrics, and i'm 'NO" on censorship regardless...
but i think to some extent a lot of this is sort of like the endless fabians and all that; only guaranteeing and promoting attitudes and agendas that
imo young listeners into fashion and impressing each other...adapt and adopt
as a fashion trend. there's one Straight Outta Compton; and certainly heaps or important hip hop tracks; i wish there wasn't such a segretation in musical audiences personally....
...but am quite cynical at what's being spoon-fed to young people
who follow the charts and the 'gangsta' drama of some of the big stars.
it's pretty cynical shit imo. i think elements in the production are
fascinating; and i like poloyrhythms and there are some great producers
and hip hop stuff, but often i run into this violence porn that i also
avoid in films personally. i've seen too much in real life...

Interesting thoughts, hopkins. I actually belong to that generation that is being spoon-fed that cynical gangster schtick. But I would say most young people get it - it's an artificial image thing like Keith's rockstar attitude. It's just too obvious. The bigger problem with the music industry that the young people are in touch with is this influencer thing. Many of the big stars get young people to buy all the stuff they want them to and get paid by companies for doing that. And of course the young generation is the perfect target for that, always wanting to be "in trend" on social media. But this of course is not limited to one genre...

P.S. no gangster stuff in the link I posted ;-)

I’ve always appreciated the Pixies, Black Francis and Frank Black. Frank Black’s cover of Down In A Hole is nice.

There is a difference between
Old School Hip Hop style (and general output time frame)
and ‘Rap’

You can take the girl (gal, woman)
out of the club,
but you can’t take the club out of the girl
(or something like that- gimme some good funky dance music too to move)

Not if they those teeny bopper posers Greta Van Fleet have anything to say about it.
Then again, seems most of their fans are nostalgic old timers yearning for the past.
