Yea...Paul was quite eloquent with making a thing of beauty out of nothing...the lyrics sure fit the bill
I always asumed that it was tied to Orwell's novel, '1984', a year all were a bit leary of...sort of a "i wonder who's gonna be left after the end of the world, and what can we do together" kinda feeling...
"On No One Left Alive In 1985, Will Ever Do"
...left alive? after what?
Orwell was right
maybe
possibly
well....maybe anyways
it's still a great song...agreed

Edna sez:
"In response to Barry Berry
You don´t even mention it´s a Leonard Cohen song... "
No argument there,Edna, as I never claimed it was

I fully agree that a $100 Steely Dan concert would is well worth the price...but the bulk of concerts I attended (at least 200 between 1974 & 1982, almost all featuring at least three popular bands), most all shows were general admission with a ticket costing between $7 and $15...and no Steely Dan tours...they never had to pimp their albums, and the gigs were not lucrative enough to lure studio rats onto the road.
Now, if one wishes to see a good tooth pickin', save your money and hang somewhere they serve corn on the cob
...oh...reguarding Elvis...he's not racist...mistah Elvis...he dead

sic v. ick
sic...origional meaning: spelling incorrect
sic...for purposes reguarding the above discussed "talent" programing : singing incorrect (as in mindless ego bellowing lacking soul in exchange for fabulous hair and a carefully chosen wardrobe)
ick...a good exclamation of disgust, but it implies a sickening sight or aroma,so it does show promise as a legit dis, but 'ick' needs a good acronym to go up against the new and improved 'sic'
sic wins by technical knockout
welcome this season's new sic Mark VII

They (The Beatles) fled performing live and retreated to the studio to record songs so intricate that they (at the time) could not be reproduced in a concert situation...and in realizing the limitations of the live performance, they were able to move upward in creativity. Of course, it had to fall apart...implied leadership left a lot of hard feelings and burned bridges.
Even though they "broke up" during '69 and '70, other bands contiued playing what seemed to me to be "Beatles Music"...not any copywrite infringement, but a borrowing of their methods, chord changes, song structure in general kept bands like Electric Light Orchestra gigging for the next ten or fifteen years...they had to tour , though
I think that Steely Dan is the only other band I can recall from that era that never toured in support of a new album...and yes, I'm aware that they tour now, but these days the price tends to start in the ballpark of $150 a pop....to the road, indeed
Yes...The Beatles...famous for being famous....I just hate that the music is lost on so many.....same as it ever was...nothing new under the sun...sun...sun...here it comes

Touche', Bitter Almonds...you show great restraint...a pint of Guiness for you
No offence, loc4life , but one should never trust aliens bearing lazer beams...don't 'cha watch any movies?
also, the name of the band is what? The Darkness? Hello?
I know that the dark side is alluring, but there's a reason them cats wear makeup and spit sparks...they want you to settle for less while thinking it's more
just say No to The Darkness.....or, whatever it is they're calling themselves these days
and, if you happen to love the song/group/thing/whatever, good for you...not looking for an arguement...just having a bit of fun with it...c'mon....loosen up...you know it is a little funny

Telegraph Road
An accurate depiction of the rise and falling down of western civilization
'Low Spark' adds enlightenment and is great
But "Telegraph Road' stands as the accurate description of disillusionment with this, the new era of lowered expectations
and the melodies are juuust perfect
A masterpiece
worth hearing over and over...like crimson and clover

Moving on to better things?
That means something must be left behind...as dead, as it were.
The perscription?
Seeing Things (for the first time)- by The Black Crowes
Here are the lyrics...sing along, if you will
Seeing Things - The Black Crowes
I find it hard to shed a tear
You brought it all on yourself my dear
Wrong, yes I may be
Dont leave a light on for me
cause I aint comin home
It hurts me baby to be alone
Yes, it hurts me baby
A hundred years will never ease
Hearing things I wont believe
I saw it with my own two eyes
All the pain that I cant hide
And this pain starts in my heart
And this love tears us apart
You wont find me bent down on my knees
Aint bendin over backwards baby
Not to please
cause Im seeing things for the first time
Im seeing things for the first time, oh yeah
Im seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life
I used to dream
Of better days that never came
Sorry aint nothin to me
Im gone and thats the way it must be
So please Ive done my time
Lovin you is such a crime
You wont fine me down on, on my knees
Wont fine me over backwards baby
Just to please
cause Im seeing things for the first time
Im seeing things for the first time
Seeing things for the first time
Oh Im seeing things for the first time
Yeah, seeing things for the first time
Im seeing things for the first time
Yeah, Im seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life

You really need to check an album called 'Chicago Transit Authority' (their first album)
There's a six minute cut of Terry Kath on his guitar imitating a sports car going trough it's paces.
Then comes their cover of 'I'm a Man' that rocks like you wouldn' believe...really, really energetic.
On the second album, Chicago II, is where the record execs saw dollar sign, with "Colour My World' topping the list....but on the same album was a song called '25 or 6 to 4'...whose intro sounds suspiciously like Zep's 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'...both albums happened around the same little time there...must have been something in thw water.
Terry Kath was THE MAN!!!
In the late 60's, Jimi Hemdrix was quoted as calling Terry Kath,"the best guitar player in the world" after hearing them perform.
Don't write it all off as syrup
Try looking through the first five or six albums for some real weighty stuff...buried treasure, man...burried treasure
....but yeah...i could do without ever hearing 'Wishing You Were Here' and the like...strictly commercial

Without a doubt...
Steve Marriot (Small Faces, Humble Pie)
Go back and listen!
Always sounds like he really means it...every time!!!
(rest in peace Steve)

Most folks seem to associate Ten Years After with "I'm going Home". While this is a cool song, it tends to hit a dull lull with the quieter "Have some fun tonight/Blue Suede Shoes" quiet part (for myself, anyways). For my money, I very much prefer their song "Woodchopper's Ball", an instrumental that scoots along reeeal nice like, without a lull of any sort. A long song, but every second sparks with life. A truly exciting song, go find "Woodchopper's Ball". Well worth the search.
