  1. Here's this weeks lyrics.

    "Round Here" - Counting Crows

    Step out the front door like a ghost

    Into the fog where no one notices

    The contrast of white on white.

    And in between the moon and you

    The angels get a better view

    Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

    I walk in the air between the rain,

    Through myself and back again.

    Where? I don't know

    Maria says she's dying.

    Through the door, I hear her crying

    Why? I don't know

    Round here we always stand up straight

    Round here something radiates

    Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand

    She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis

    She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land

    Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus

    She parks her car outside of my house

    Takes her clothes off,

    Says she's close to understanding Jesus

    She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood

    She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

    Round here we're carving out our names

    Round here we all look the same

    Round here we talk just like lions

    But we sacrifice like lambs

    Round here she's slipping though my hands

    Sleeping children got to run like the wind

    Out of the lightning dream

    Mama's little baby better get herself in

    Out of the lightning

    She says, "It's only in my head."

    She says, "Shhh...I know it's only in my head."

    But the girl on the car in the parking lot

    Says: "Man, you should try to take a shot

    Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"

    Then she looks up at the building

    And says she's thinking of jumping.

    She says she's tired of life;

    She must be tired of something.

    Round here she's always on my mind

    Round here I got lots of time

    Round here we're never sent to bed early

    Nobody makes us wait

    Round here we stay up very very late

    I can't see nothing, nothing

    Round here

    Catch me if I'm falling

    Catch me if I'm falling

    Catch me cause I'm falling down on you

    I said I'm under the gun

    Round here

    Oh man, I said I'm under the gun

    Round here

    I can't see nothing, nothing

    Round here

    Okay, so I know it's mainstream, but it's a wonderful song and it's not in the Songfacts listing.

  2. You make a very good point. I can't see any of them turning out a sellout crowd at a medium sized venue by themselves (with some mediocre opening act). I'm sure tickets are relatively cheap and I wonder if they'll actually sell out.

  3. Now this is quite the combination of 80's hair bands.

    Cinderella, Ratt, Quiet Riot, and Firehouse.

    Recently announced dates...

    May 8th San Diego, CA @ Bayside Embarkadero

    May 10th Albuquerque, NM @ Sandia Casino Amphitheatre

    May 12th Pelham, AL @ Verizon Wireless Music Centre

    What a combination, probably one of the greatest musical combinations you can find. These two bands fit together so well. Now if you just added The Marshall Tucker Band you would have the greatest gathering of Southern Rock to ever hit the United States!!!!

  7. It's really a hard thing to think that most people associate Skynyrd with only Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama when they have written so many beautiful and powerful songs that don't get enough play. Songs like...

    Was I Right or Wrong

    Things Goin' On

    Ballad of Curtis Loew

    Mr. Banker (another unreleased song that is phenomenal)

    Simple Man

    Ain't No Good Life

    Am I Losin'

    Take Your Time (another unreleased song that is great to listen to)

    Skynyrd has written many great songs that just don't get enough credit for being written. I blame most of it on their untimely plane crash. I think Skynyrd could have been HUGE if it weren't for that plane crash.

  8. Thank you guys. Suzy always has a way to make a person feel good. This poem was very hard to write as the situation really invoked a lot of emotion. It was so hard to see, especially since there was still dust on the sidewalk and buildings with windows completely gone. Nothing but a big hole leftover...

  9. I'm not exactly sure what my heritage is, but I know that on my father's side, several ancestors came from Luxembourg and on my mother's side, several ancestors came from France. But that's about all I know.

    I also found out yesterday that I'm part Irish. So I'm a German, French, Irish mix. Does that make me a mutt?

  10. This is a good one.

    This is a review on The Outlaws "Best of the Outlaws"

    Dem Outlaws sure don't know what deyre doing anymores! I went to Wal-Mart hopin' to came on home to my wife Bobbie-Sue with some good ol' steel-twangin' country music-to-my-ears, but when I played this nasty album, I heard my herds startin' to stampede away from this God-awful excuse for horseshoe harmony. Poor Bessie the cow still shrudders her udders when someoone, even a mighty good singer like meself, begins a-hittin' those high notes! Folks, just stay away from this here album.

    Now this guy has great English skills.

    Jimi Hendrix review...

    jimi hendrix disgusts me. i hate him much. jimi is a disgrace to everyone who \spenbds their saturday nights, like myself, playing guitar in their basement whil watching semour butts. if you want results in guitar you must look to gods like guy picccotto of fugazi and adam "adroc" horovitz. other bands include saves the day and pannywise. i worship the stylings of civ as well. in conclusion, jimi hendrix is not that good. in truth, i would go so fare as to say that his playing of the guitar was a waste and selfish because he used valuable guitars that could have been supplied to poor people witjh more talent than he. p.s. stervie ray vaughan is also bad.

    It's amazing what some people define as guitar talent.

    Led Zeppelin's "(IV)"

    Someone said Zeppelin they are good, I brought this and oh my God it's awful. The singer don't know his name screams alot, and the words are disturbing, hey, hey mama? why does he want his mama? Is he a baby?

    Also how can you buy a stairway to Heaven, and bustle in your hedegow...huh? What's that nonesense all about???

    This isn't lyrics this is Noddy talk, now in my opinion the greatest rock band are Bon Jovi, they rock, Always is better than anything Led Zeppelin have done and they could only dream of doing an album as good as These Days and that's average on Bon Jovi standards.

    Also Going to California...BORING...give me Celine Dion any day...please

    Also what is Misty Hop about why can't he sing properly like that guy from Good Charlotte.

    Greatest worst ever rock album ever!!!!

    Don't buy this, buy Celine Dion instead!!!!

    P.S

    The E stands for Expert

    Celine Dion? And Good Charlotte?

    Another on "(IV)"

    This CD is whack. It sounds like old peoples music. Its really old too, like over 30 years old. The sound isn't real good and the style of music on the CD is way out of style.

    He must be a fan of hip-hop... ::

    Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"

    This is not real rock and roll. If you really want to rock hard, buy the latest from Creed, Blink-182 or Limp Bizkit. That is real music.

    These old geezers can't even get through more than five songs...what a waste of $13!

    I love it when these people refer to classic rock as old geezer music. Please tell me this, if you don't like music from the 70's, then why are you even buying it? I guess I just really like "old geezer" music...

  11. Do you ever notice that people who oppose Pink Floyd seem slightly retarded? Seriously. You should have to undergo an IQ test before you're allowed to review Pink Floyd.

    I think anyone that does a review on Amazon should have some sort of knowledge on music. As opposed to those who just listen to MTV and flunked basic English (like Rachel said!).

  12. These ones got deleted...

    This review was on The Beatles "Abbey Road"

    Hi Folx,

    This band should split. Period. There music is obsolete and n ot very good.

    If they had the decensy they'd call it a day.

    Split!

    This person really has problems...

    This is the one I posted special for Rachel.
