    I´m not very good with computers and I just don´t seem to be able to make a post with the quote, not WITHIN the quote. I click on "quote" and then I write and then I click on "continue". I want my post INCLUDE the quote and not being all together. Can you help me?
  4. I share the computer with my husband. These times he´s busy and I can get into songfacts...But he already promised to get himself another computer so I can go on posting till they come to catch me and take me back to my planet.
  5. Paul Weller (Jam, Style Council) has just released a cd of covers. And they are very good... I only heardsome, but he sings "Close to you" among others, and I´d love to hear him singing Burt bacharach... J.J.Cale has also a new album... this time, as usual, he makes no covers, but soon big ones will cover more of his work, sure. There are so many versions of his songs, starting with Eric Clapton (Cocaine, After Midnight...)
  6. I never saw the Beatles live but I´ve dreamed of a great concert they gave in a bar. I also dreamed of an incredibly Pink Floyd live... That was when I was younger. As a former rock journalist I´ve seen so many concerts that now I love to stay home at night! But the one that thrilled me the most was the Psychedelich Furs checking sound before a concert for TV. They played for near half and a hour, they were feeling really good... and there I was, with them and two or three more people... checking sound! That night they were great, but the sound check was another thing. I´ve seen maybe six or eight times Lou Reed and he never deceived me. And I remember Violent Femmes live in a club, in Paris... one of the most exciting concerts! I was at the first Rolling Stones gig in Madrid, they performed under a summer storm and that was real magic! They still are magic on stage...
  7. "Sadly like a soap opera", Steve Forbert
  8. Paul McCartney sais once that the only band he was afraid could be a rival for the Beatles was the Beach Boys, specially after hearing "Pet Sounds". Well, he does seem very relax nowadays... The Beach Boys are underrated, to my opinion. I hope this release will make them sound again, al least on the radio.
  9. "Solitaire", Carpenters "Fire and Rain", of course "Luka", Suzanne Vega "There ain´t no cure for love" Leonard Cohen "Seasons in the sun", Terry Jacks "Everything I own", Bread "Without you", Nilsson "Drive", the Cars
  10. That sounds like the "Hooked on Classics" records, you must remember, it was during the 70-80s...
  11. Hi, have you tried Google and others? I checked my info & books and all kind of webs, and they say everywhere that OLD BROWN SHOE was recorded just by the four beatles...
  12. Well, he´s very shy indeed...
  13. Thanks, THX!! I´ll try as soon as I can and I´ll tell you how it works. Thaks again!
  14. I agree with both of you, Jimi live is quite irritating for me, though I was a Hendrix fan in the 70s and I saw plenty of movies of him live. I also liked very much King Crimson but when I went to their concert I was wishing they´d finish asap... they were so boring! And a surprise for me, Dire Straits, my favorite band by then (1980) did a never-ending concert in Madrid, Spain. Extremely boring too. I saw them another time and I must say they I prefer their songs on the album, comfortably laying on my couch.
  15. You mean "Walk on the wild side"? Lou Reed. "And the colour girls go do-doodoo-doo-doodoodoo-doo...
  16. You´re doing really great, this is the best site I´ve ever seen and I guess we all must say "Thanks a lot"!!! I agree with all the songfacts addicts, and I am one of those.
  17. ...and "Feline", Stranglers. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", Elton John.
  18. "Needle and the damage done" neil Young "White rabbit" jefferson Airplane Many lines from Beatles, as "I need a fix coz I´m going down..." (Hapiness is a warm gun) and many Beatles songs, there are so many... The whole Sticky Fingers album: Brown Sugar, Sister Morphine, Can you hear me knocking, Dead Flowers... "Mother´s Little Helper", Rolling Stones. Another line: "Time", David Bowie: "Time in Quaaludes and red wine...etc" "The pusher", Steppenwolf. Worse : "Rainy Day Women", Bob Dylan.
  19. I have a mac and I can´t download music from the web. My friends do it for me with their PCs. Is it true than it´s difficult to do this with mac? (mine is 9.2)? I¨ve been told that you can´t download music with a mac, but some people tell me they do. I know it´s rather a technichal than music question, but I thought that maybe some of you have or had the same problem. Maybe it´s just that I didn´t try hard enough...
  20. I have a strange feeling like nothing has been done since Patti Smith (1975). But looking back, I remember the 60s: that´s the greatest decade, no doubt, everything grew up in the 60´s. OK, we were born in the 50s (54, birth of rock and roll as they call it) but beatles, stones, byrds, dylan, beach boys, bee gees, velvet underground, hendrix, clapton, janis, greatefull dead, etc... grew in the 60s. During the 80s we used to say the 70s were a bad decade for music: much too ELP, King Crimson, Yes,... but now I see that it was a great decade, because of ELP, KC, Yes... and Bowie, and Lou Reed, disco, punk, blondie, ramones, talking heads, bob seger, jjcale, springsteen, dire straits, roxy music,clapton...ouf! My mind got wide open and I think the best decade for music was 62-85. The Smiths, Cure, Duran Duran, Suzanne Vega, REM, and little good stuff was done. The point is, what can you still create/enhance/expect after all those music monsters? I learned to like all kind of music, from Tuxedo Moon till Carpenters, not forgeting Nirvana, Leonard Cohen, Philip Glass or... Smashmouth, for instance!
  21. John Lennon- Paul Mc Cartney and George Martin Jagger-Richards Talking Heads Burt Bacharach Phil Spector Simon & Garfunkel
  22. "Walk on the wild side" has beautifull sax ending.
  23. "We were all wounded at Wounded Knee"- Redbone Potflash (correct me if I´m wrong)

    Which is sadder?

    I read a year ago that somebody bought a virus which caused Paul McCartney´s flu during a Beatles tour. Well, that´s normal, as we can see with Britney´s chewing gum... but I wonder how can you buy a virus? Do they give it to you in a little plastic bag? Incredible...
