Goldfish Crackers - Making the change to be Trans-fat free. Songfacts - Fetches song facts, lyrics and comments. Goldfish Crackers - Just lies there with a stupid grin. Songfacts fish - Can be highly addictive. Goldfish Crackers - One generally gets tired of them after a box or two. :: Summary: Songfacts fish - Always fresh - This fish rocks!! Goldfish Crackers - Gets stale and ...sorry can't compete.
  2. I understand you situation, I have been forever trying to learn what kind of car Curt Henderson (Richard Dreyfus) drives in American Graffiti .. nobody seems to know, calls to George Lucas keep going unanswered.
  3. Donovan - Summer Day Reflection Song Lyrics Cat's a-sleeping in the sun, Eyes take heed the colours call. Sunlight patterns touch the wall, Red kerchiefs sail and fall, Cat's a sleeping in the sun. Dragon kite in the sky, Wheel and turns, spin and fly, Attacked by rooks and never fail To cry the sound of fairy tales. The cat is walkin' in the sun. All the pebbles I have seen, Precious stones for Colleen. Every minute I pass through With the grooves spent with you. The cat is yawning in the sun. Jewelled castles I have built With freak feelings of guilt. And the words stab to the hilt, Pick the flower and it will wilt, Cat's a-shifting in the sun. Marionette dangles death Insensitivity is fed. By the TV wizard's wand Once in the spell you're conned, Cat's a-smiling in the sun. Cat's a-smiling in the sun, Eyes take heed the colours call. Sunlight patterns touch the wall, Red kerchiefs sail and fall, Cat's a-smiling in to me.

  5. But this is a classic... From the parents of Ozzie and Harriett Nelson came Ricky, from Ricky came ... Garden Party I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends. A chance to share old memories and play our old songs again.When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name, But no one recognized me, I didn't look the same.But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.People came from miles around. Everyone was there. Yoko brought her walrus. There was magic in the air.And over in the corner, much to my surprise, Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise.But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.I played them all the old songs, I thought that's why they came. No one heard the music. We didn't look the same.I said hello to "Mary Lou, she belongs to me.When I sang a song about a Honky-Tonk, it was time to leave.But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode, Playing guitar like a ring and a bell and lookin' like he should.If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta lock, But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck.But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. Take care, Mike Garden Party Songfacts Edited: To add Songfacts "Link"
  6. I love this EP!! It's simply awesome. I've read a couple interviews of Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee, all of which mentions or hints that after some months off after the R30 tour they will be returning to the studio and then fllowing that up with yet another tour!!! LONG LIVE RUSH!!!
  7. Here's a question.... How many top selling soundtracks became such "BECAUSE" of "one" song?! I bought the soundtrack to "Over the Top" with Sly Stallone as the "arm wrestler" mainly to get Winner takes it all-Sammy Hagar it was not "available" any other way.

  9. How was the show Kash? Did the crowd sing Happy Birthday to Geddy?
  10. The Bodyguard! 17 million copies!!! Edging out Saturday Night Fever (15 million) Saturday Night Fever started the soundtrack craze however. The producers had no idea. Saturday Night Fever did for soundtracks what Star Wars did for movie action-figures! Who has/had these soundtracks? Who had/has Star Wars toys?
  11. Oh, yeah... I "WAS" trying to be funny, infact lots of people say I'm "trying", so I got THAT going for me...right?!! Scott, I always knew you were a man, not a guy, not a male.... A MAN! Pictures cannot begin to reveal the wisdom in your posts... oh, so now would be a good time I guess, can I borrow some money dood? Carry-on Mike
  12. <- Uhmm, this is like a picture from my Apollo 18 lunar excursion, uhmm, the real pictures are just in my head so I had to like make this one on the 'puter... Uhmm, I really like the song dain bramage from the fink Ployd record Shark Died of the Groom.
  13. Gilmour on Comfortably Numb from Delicate Sound of Thunder, oh man... after that finger pickin' at full volume I AM Comfortably Numb BABY
  14. And it's Geddy's birthday!! AND Rush's 30th anniversary DAY!!! Neil joined on Ged's 21st B-day. Celebrate the moment - the greatest act can be - One Little Victory!!!!
  15. Dude! You scored!! Enjoy! I heard The Red Rocks show was awesome. Mine was awesome -simply to be there! It was my first Rush show. 30 years ~ Can you believe it?!
  16. No, I don't think so either! Every PF album is unique, Obscured by clouds is incredible! DSotM is the breakthrough album, it flows, it reaches for the musical stars. However Animals is, in my opinion, their greatest contibution to music. It is simply outstanding!! The Wall is a great album, don't get me wrong. But not the best they did, just the most charged and popular (see The Final Cut for most charged) I give a to both WYWH and aMLoR, but then I like them all, don't I. By the way, if you want to hear part II of "The Wall" give "The Final Cut" a spin, WOW! Waters really uncorks his emotions and feeling about the war in this one. "The Final Cut" was the end of Pink Floyd as we came to know them in the 60's and 70's.

  18. LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Academy Award-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith, who created the memorable music for scores of classic movies and television shows ranging from the "Star Trek" and "Planet of the Apes" series to "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and "Dr. Kildare," has died. He was 75. Goldsmith died in his sleep Wednesday night at his Beverly Hills home after a long battle with cancer, said Lois Carruth, his personal assistant. A classically trained composer and conductor who began musical studies at age 6, Goldsmith's award-dappled Hollywood career -- he was nominated for 17 Academy Awards, won one, and also took home five Emmys -- spanned nearly half a century. He crafted an astonishing number of TV and movie scores that have become classics in their own right. From the clarions of "Patton" to the syrupy theme for TV's "The Waltons," Goldsmith sometimes seemed virtually synonymous with soundtracks. He took on action hits such as "Total Recall," which he considered one of his best scores, as well as the "Star Trek" movies and more lightweight fare, like his most recent movie theme, for last year's "Looney Tunes: Back in Action." His hundreds of works included scores for "The Blue Max," "L.A. Confidential," "Basic Instinct" and "Chinatown." Goldsmith's output also spilled into television, with the themes for shows including "Dr. Kildare," "Barnaby Jones" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation." He also wrote a fanfare that is used in Academy Awards telecasts. He won his Oscar for best original score in 1976 for "The Omen." He also earned five Emmy Awards and was nominated for nine Golden Globe awards, though he never won one. (List of Goldsmith's credits) "He could write anything. He did Westerns, comedies," Carruth said. "He preferred writing for more character-driven, quiet films but somehow they kept coming back to him for the action films." Born February 10, 1929 in Los Angeles, Goldsmith studied with famed pianist Jacob Gimpel and pianist, composer and film musician Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. He fell in love with movie composing when he saw the 1945 Ingrid Bergman movie "Spellbound," Carruth said, and while attending the University of California took classes with Miklos Rozsa, who wrote the Oscar-winning score for that film. In 1950, he got a job as a clerk typist at CBS and eventually got assignments for live radio shows, writing as much as one score a week. He later turned to television. In the late 1950s he began composing for movies. His career took off in the 1960s with such major films as "Lonely Are the Brave" and "The Blue Max." He earned his first Academy Award nomination for his work on 1962's "Freud." Goldsmith was known for his versatility and his experimentation. He added electronics to the woodwinds and brasses of his scores. For 1968's "Planet of the Apes," he got a blaring effect by having his musicians blow horns without mouthpieces. With a puckish sense of humor, he reportedly wore an ape mask while conducting the score. "He experimented a lot and that's what made him so popular with his fans," Carruth said. "When he wrote, he got inside of the characters and he wrote what he felt they were thinking and feeling." Some of his motion picture scores were adapted for ballets. Goldsmith also wrote composed orchestral pieces and taught occasional music classes at local universities. He is survived by his wife, Carol; children Aaron, Joel, Carrie, Ellen Edson and Jennifer Grossman, six grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
  19. Yes, by the Bee Gee's. I grew-up with disco music in the 70's, I couldn't help but like some of it. Like this tune. or The Hustle by Van McCoy. I was not, however, into disco at all! But you gotta admit it, it made it's mark!! Remember KC and the Sunshine band and The Village People? My local rock station had a show called "disco-destruction" in-which they would begin to play a disco song then suddenly pull the record needle across the grooves violently in protest...then break into a "rock-song" ...it was hilarious!! If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be Jive Talkin'. Rock-on -Mike
  20. So now I can post my favorite t-shirt saying I ever saw in my whole life... It used stick figures and states.... See Dick Drink - See Dick Drive - See Dick Die .... ....... Please Don't Be A Dick!
  21. SEE MUSIC DISCUSSION FORUM ~ LENNON/MCCARTNEY AND YOKO I wanted to respond but thought it better to continue in an appropiate forum
  22. From About Songfacts Forum Martin, I personally have cringed for decaded at people assertion that Yoko broke up the Beatles. Paaalleeze, I give John way more credit than that! John Lennon and Paul McCartney had creative differences, that's all!! Like so many other duo's they had to go their ways. We can speculate until the cows come home whether they would have teamed up again by now if John hadn't been murdered. I honestly think they may have. Yoko was John's love of his life, I respect THAT! I respect him!! Anyone who said negative things about him or Yoko is really not a "true" fan in my humble opinion. They need to get a life! What's people do is their business, if you like their music .. let it be (ha-ha) On the other subject. Long ago John and Paul decided on the Lennon/McCartney billing arraingment, I think it's petty and stupid to debate such a trivial issue. Songs are easy to to tell who actually wrote them (any real Beatle fan will tell ya) so who really cares. Again this is one of those "get a life" issues, "tempest in a teacup". Let it be, is my opinion. This remindes me of McQueen/Newman and Towering Inferno, they argued over top billing, whos name would go first, then when the studio said they would put them side by side McQueen said his first (left to right) so Newman said mine goes higher then, Steve McQueen demanded that he and Paul Newman have exactly the same number of lines, that they get exactly the same salaries. After all that the move sucked anyway! LOL Anyway, nice to have another Beatle fan aboard the board! Stay cool! Mike
  23. Help me out here, I have a dilema. Most the music I like is coined "classic rock". I used to listen to classic rock radio but heard to much of what I was tired of and too little of what I desired more of. Hence I have gone exclusive CD in he car and at home. Am I missing anything? I mean, I would occasionally pass by something in the past (dialing from one classic rock station to another) that was NEW, and I LIKED IT! I have resolved that this would happen so seldom now, I needn't be concerned. Am I missing anything, or should I not worry and continued my isolation therapy? To radio or not radio...that is the question.
