Tenacious_Peaches Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Dio - the almighty Tenacious D Dio has rocked for a long, long time, Now it's time for him to pass the torch. He has songs of wildebeests and angels, He has soared on the wings of a demon. It's time to pass the torch, You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you. We're takin' you to a home, But we will sing a song about you. And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of. You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Raow! Your sauce will mix with ours, And we'll make a good goulash baby. Dio, time to go! You must give your cape and scepter to me. And a smaller one for KG. Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

EdL Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I didn´t know that... "Her majesty" about Jane Asher? Oh, pls, if you have more info about it, post it! Thank you, EdL! Edna, I've searched through all my Beatles related books and I can't find the reference - I'll keep looking and let you know. I can assure you that I didn't make it up. I remember that at the time I read about Jane Asher being the one referred to I thought, "Doesn't that make sense", rather than it being a "cheeky" reference to The Queen as some authors think.

Jugband_Blues Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 "I Shot the Sheriff" by Eric Clapton was written and origionally sung by Bob Marley, who wouldn't tell him if it was based on a true event or not. and it makes me wonder.

Danielj Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 It certainly was sung first by Bob Marley and i would NEVER say it was by Eric Clapton. Sorry Spence, I am a Marleyaholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, sure you must have read it somewhere... happens to me very often, then I forget where and "sounds like"...I looked through the web and I could find many sites about ex-wifes of the Beatles. Jane Asher has a TV show, it seems, and she makes cookies and sells them. Only condition to talk to her is not to mention paul McCartney...

skankHAYWIRE Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 the scene was kent state, it is one of the most infamous examples of police brutality (in the opinion of most) in recent american history. To add a couple of my own: Gordon Lightfoot- The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (a ship that sank in the icy winter waters of the great lakes some years ago, not 100% clear of the exact details) Rammstein- Mein Teil (written about Armin Meiwes, also known as "Der Metzgermeister" (the master butcher). Found a willing victim to be slaughtered and eaten by Meiwes in 2001.) I understand that my selections may be diverse and possibly even disturbing ot some, but without people like Herr Meiwes on this planet, we would be bored s%@#less with the same news day in and day out. I personally believe that a person should be able to do what they want as long as any others affected agree to the risks and consequences of their actions.

OLD 55 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 when Elton John wouldnt stop playing Candle In the Wind! AHHHH Princess Di....remember??? For some reason (probably our ties to the British Monarchy) Australian radio stations DIDN'T play it. They played the other track on the CD "Something About The Way You Look Tonight". OR maybe it was to increase sales of the CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 "Wild Horses" --written by Mick Jagger for Marianne Faithful while she was recovering from a heroin overdose. He dumped her soon after... "Before They Make Me Run " -- a little 'thumbing his nose' at the Toronto cops who had busted him for heroin possession and was facing some long jail time if fully sentenced (20 years !).
