My favorite Grand Funk song. The lyrics are so wonderful, it's the greatest "never look back on your past" song. I've always lived by the concept of "learn from your past but never look back upon it". It's a great song to listen to when something bad has happened and you need a pick-me-up to get your head straight again. When things get bad, always remember that you can make them good again by not living in the past.

Since I'll be gone until next Thursday, here's next week's lyrics for you to ponder.
"Stop Lookin' Back" - Grand Funk Railroad
Stuck in the county jail
Nobody here gonna' pay my bail
Thirty days with a smelly drunk
A turn-key callin' me a dirty punk
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin' back
And I've got to move straight ahead, stop lookin' back
Shoot for the stars when my eyes can't see the starlight
Reach for the sun in the night
Stop lookin' back at the times I was defeated
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin' back
Stranded! Nothing worse
I'm livin' on coffee, I got an empty purse
I'm dreamin' 'bout blue eyes lookin' my way
Hopin' my dreams don't blow away
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin' back
And I've got to move straight ahead, stop lookin' back
Shoot for the stars when my eyes can't see the starlight
Reach for the sun in the night
Stop lookin' back at the times I was defeated
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin' back

If I had TIVO, I would set it to record Britney every single day. But I don't have TIVO, so I guess I really don't give a rats @$$. Hmm, interesting...
So in the vote for best reality television, we have Britney Spears vs. Jessica Simpson vs. Anna Nicole Smith.
Or better yet, a celebrity deathmatch!
-
Skynyrd has an acoustic album... "Endangered Species"
There's an acoustic version of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Saturday Night Special" and "Things Goin' On" just to name a few.

What if, and just what if....we built a spaceship community, kind of like say the enterprise. It would be a big shuttle HUGE built in outter space. A place where people could live, work, eat, all that jazz. We have one generation that starts off the quest, and life keeps going. People Procreate. A community in space. People would be born in space! But, you would have to volunteer for something like this. They would get minds beyond belief. Of course, it would take a whole lifespan of a generation to build it.
Would you do it, or would you like to see it done?
Sammy and I have plans of building the next Vatican in space where all guests are by invite only. We have a very strict code of ethics...
Oh yeah, and Uncle Joe is our ethical advisor.
-
Brownies will be our negotiating leverage with Sammy.
Foxy, feel free to continue playing around with the logo, mine was a very rough cut.
-
I've been playing with my own logo - what does everyone think?
Yours is more creative, but a bit girlie. I'm sure the Songfactorettes will love it though.

It needs a little work, this is a rough copy. But I have limited tools to work with. Sammy can get royalties if he's able to clean up the logo a little so that it looks even cooler!
-
-
so if it's not classic rock (or classic rock-sounding), it's only done for the money and the bands are posers? you are really biased!
I was referring to pop music and rock bands that sellout to the pop industry.
-
There's something to be said about longevity in the music industry. I can't see anyone wanted to listen to Britney Spears 30 years from now. And yet, people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to see the Rolling Stones in concert. No one will go crazy because Good Charolette is playing at Super Bowl 60, and yet, everyone freaked out when Paul McCartney was up on stage. Classic rock is all about the music and the way it makes people feel, not how large it makes everyones wallets in a 5 year span.
-
No, I said I do like their MUSIC. It's just that the lyrics, including the ones to the above tune, are very country & western-ish....a lot of them about losing the woman. They should write a few where they actually get to keep the woman AND have sex with her. Sex and debauchery makes for much better rock 'n' roll.
Sammy, that's the best rock 'n' roll out there! We'll write a song about it when we move into the Vatican.
-
I wonder if it will be advertised as John Squared! I can't find any tour dates, but Fogerty is coming back to the US in November (currently booked). He's overseas this Spring. The Mellencamp site listed his maximum ticket price at $45. I really like it when old artists realize that they don't have to charge a fortune for their fans to listen to them live.
-
I don't have enough Who albums, but I definitely like Who's Next and Tommy. I have The Who Sell Out, and it's pretty good. But I don't know if it's worthy of #4. If I had to rank Lynyrd Skynyrd Albums...
1. Pronounced (leh-nerd skin-nerd)
2. Street Survivors
3. Second Helping
4. Nuthin' Fancy (or Vicious Cycle, kind of a toss-up)
It's a shame that the original line-up didn't make more albums. I think they were really hitting their peak when the plane crash occurred.
-
I'm trying Peaches. Every now and then I hit a set of lyrics that everyone seems to be eager to form their opinion or at least say something. It's kind of hit or miss. But I'll keep plugging away.
And Carole, I think country-blues can sing whatever they want to.
I actually like the term Country-Blues much better to describe The Marshall Tucker Band. But those are 2 of the key ingredients to Southern Rock.
-
I can only respond to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin as those are the only ones I have enough albums of.
Led Zeppelin:
I don't agree with at all. I personally think "II" was their best album, "I" was their second best album, then maybe "Physical Graffiti" or "(IV)". "III" is pretty good, but I like "Houses of the Holy" better.
Pink Floyd:
I would agree with the first 3 (although maybe putting "The Wall" as # 4), but there really needs to be a pre-DSoTM album on this listing. "Obscurred By Clouds" or "Meddle", "Animals" is good, but I like their creativeness in the other two better.

Great guitar work in it, but the lyrics are too reminiscent of the typical hillbilly country&western tunes that are all too abundant out there. They have three subjects - drinkin' yer beer, drivin' yer truck, and losin' yer woman. Sometimes they find a way to include all three AND throw in the fact that the woman took the beer and the truck when she left...and sometimes the dog.
I do, however, like the song because it's more rock that C&W.
There's not actually a dude named Marshall Tucker, is there? Would you happen to know where the band name originated?
There is no Marshall Tucker. According to Carl, they saw the name on a key ring and liked the name. I actually submitted this song to Songfacts for this last update. I was very happy to see it there!
But to Sammy's reply, Marshall Tucker Band doesn't generally fall into the typical Country and Western song form factor. Although they do have this happen on occassion, it's not the majority of their music. In one of their songs, they actually describe their music as Country-Blues, which I think is a much better description.

Sammy and I will have to purchase it for our US vacation spot when we take a leave of absence from our Pope and Vice-Pope duties. :: ::

A fantastic song about a woman that has done you wrong. The lyrics are so catchy and so easy to sing to. It's a phenomenal song and it's not hard to understand why this is a legendary Southern Rock classic.
For all those who don't know, this is on the album "The Marshall Tucker Band".
