Man, we haven't had a vid of him put up in a long time. A real life sign. Happy birthday!

The Outpost Cafe / Re: What Bro Country Sounds Like to People Who Don't Like It

I had to look it up, so this is the song that supposedly started it?
https://youtu.be/8PvebsWcpto
I don’t get the negative excitement. It’s a few country elements rocked up in instrumentation, arrangement and rhythm which has been going on for 50 years and more. With a silly earworm chorus hook and a vid consisting mainly of ‘babes’, an aimlessly driving around pickup truck and occasional glimpses of The Stars & Stripes. Not more excessively dumb than ZZ Top’s 80ies vids which have all reached unwarranted cult status by now or lyrically more superficial than what The Beach Boys sang about in nearly all their hits. Praising weekend hedonism ain’t exactly a new thing either whether it’s Sam Cooke’s Another Saturday Night or Loverboy’s Working For The Weekend. So what exactly is so heinous about it? That it’s made up of stolen ingredients and banal? I always thought that was one of the pillars of pop and rock music! 😂

Their accent is mostly fine, a bit on the North German side. What can you do when you're from Hamburg.

Actually it was based on their hit that Dave Dudley became a household name in Germany, he then toured with them.

Went to an event at The Museum of Flight this weekend, my hubby dressed as an 8th Air Force officer, i was his pin up, what a h00t!
Too cute! And now Auntie Mark will explain to y'all how the 'B' in LGBTQ stands for ... biplane!

It's a cheap shot and I'm glad that nothing of the sort ever happened in the Purple camp with its convoluted family tree. Whether in 1975 or in 1993, Blackmore neither in public nor in court ever questioned the legitimacy of the other guys continuing (though he is rumored to have lawyers take a look at it!). DP today features one solitary original member - the drummer, i.e. Ian Paice. Gillan and Glover are from a second line-up (which albeit eclipsed the first one in popularity).
I stand by what I said: Real fans know whether a line-up is legitimate or not, the rest of the audience doesn't give a damn as long as the music is decently presented and they recognize the old hits.

Paul's love for pot is kinda touching, through the decades he never grew out of it. He will be reincarnated in Jamaica no doubt.
They've largely legalized it now in Germany, as of this month.

Not everything is about sex. There is also Rock’n’Roll. And, lest we forget, drugs.
"I've been away for so long
I let you go for so long
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding"
It’s user lingo for a cocaine relapse. And the chest-beating, yet darkly nihilist song fits the topic perfectly.

I blame it largely on Tom’s presence, once you have a Proggie in your midst, any meaningful female participation goes out the window.

I like that march because it is so upbeat and life-affirming, nothing militaristic to it, even the freedom-lauding lyrics defy the usual nationalist themes.

Was that just the guy who used to be in a band called London SS before it became Generation X?

Older women than you then, Tom, but that's ok as long as
I was kinda torn between Cherie, Jackie and Joan. Or Suzi Q, you couldn't always tell them apart, Joan and her.
But I understand the older women thing too, Tom, it's all good. It's hard to get a same age date if your record collection consists of only King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Yes and ELP.

For what? Half the people in the audience know that they are not seeing Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, but a line-up several generations removed (you tell me as a Deep revolving door Purple fan!), the other half doesn't care because they don't even know who they are.
