Sorry Davido... 'the west coast girls' of our fair land can be just as wacked as the ones in the east, central or great white north. Funny, one of my great horror stories involved an Asian pickup senario in Vancouver. So if I'm getting the moral of your story I should be looking for the signs.

OK so I'm turning 50 this month and have been looking for love in all the wrong places. The new girl friend is up for her first overnight last weekend. Up till now she has found my RS passion shall we say amusing, but she's not a fan herself. Friday night I show her what I'm about, L&G - Dead Flowers, BtB - Gimme Shelter, Licks- IORR, she likes to dance and she is starting

well this took on some life. By Swan Song I was not implyiny they quit anything, albums, tours, et. I truley believe they like to record and perform and all the power to them and the fans. They will continue to surprize, they will amaze. But will they mount such a comprehensive crossection of material, venues, DVD's, CD's or were they putting something down on this tour knowing in

Although the Stones have broken the mold of rock bands by surviving so long they actually have what you might can a life span. Much like a marrige, a little life planning must come into their conversation. Like a couple planninmg to take that trip they always wanted to and think they should do it now while they have their health, I have wondered if this was the motivation for the Licks tour. T

I always thought there was a fight between Rip This Joint and A Wild and Untamed Thing (ROcky Horror). I always thought these two songs were written to be the most uptempo songs going. Buy their version of Let Me Go is close

I suppose if I said every form of music since orchastration in technically jazz it would confuse everyone...but check your history, jazz was a catch all term for everthing in the day. Much like jazz reffering to most types of music in the early days the terms pop and rock and R&R all grew out of differnt times by different media types. They do have some loose timeframes. For me R&R got si

Gazza....I hear you on the good and bad thing. The pop/rock, mod/rocker are all media terms. you see I would have catagorized all that arty farty stuff as pop, it was the return to a certain level of roughness I was thinking about. I was amused that some would call some tunes too popish yet they 'were' a pop band....if I can still play with those words.

Rock 'and' roll is a very narrow semantic for me. Quickly overshadowed by rock and pop. R&R is CB, LR, JLL....so 1) Jonny B Goode 2) It Came Out of the Sky (CCR live, possibly my favorite, if you can find more CB licks played faster please tell me) 3) Carol (especially watching Chuck telling Keith how he's blowing it) 4) Eagle Rock (Daddy Cool) 5) Back In The USSR 6) Ro

Some comments about some Stones songs sounding too 'pop' got me thinking about semantics, I love semantics, in this case pop vs. rock. If memory serves me the early days of the Beatles and Stones consisted of them cutting there teeth on rock and roll standards while they dabbled with blues and country. But when the so called British Invation took place and these bands were writing th

This is a very specific topic....there is no better singer/songwriter/arranger (remember that term?) than Van 'the man'. I'm sorry but he just knows what goes where and nobody sings better with a band.

For years I remembered that guy just to my left that held up the cassette player above his head. At the time I thought him quite the idiot since nobody was into taping many shows then and the physical effort it took. It took me 25 years and the internet to get a copy. Thanks to that guy.

The big chill has been mentioned but I think it may be the most poinent because it's not just backgound music. It is presented as the last request of the deceased and is played during some very moving scenes around the funeral and ties into the dialog....so it's part of the story. The only guy that did not AGWYW was Kevin Costner, played the dead guy but was cut from the final movie.

1) they proved those 60's ney-sayers wrong and yes they obviously could see themselves still rockin and rollin at 60, and beyond. 2) they are true to themselves, no other band has done it their way for so long with less of the typical rock band critisism, they seem to have ridden it out 'above the radar' in this case. 3) they don't play their songs true to the albums, we
