i have to say, at the risk of going 'there', the Canadian Prime Minister is a lot cooler than the American president..

Anyone a Howard Stern fan? Apparently he just read some Top 10 list of Best American Bands recently and I missed it but was told it was a total joke. No Ramones, no Nirvana, no Grateful Dead. I think the ones he remembered were Beach Boys, Eagles, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Heart. Not sure about the other 5. Just curious to find that exact list.

Not to get OT within thread-

As there are so many groups to choose from - one song I heard recently form the past was Jackie Blue, which is exceptional, but to this day I cannot figure out what the song is about. Group was Ozark Mountain Devils circa late 70 or early 80s???



Is it about a good looking narcissitic Girl?

Is it a girl on speed?


Or just a lyrical song only where words blend?




Or just a Dreamer-
