Sir Mix-A-Lot (60 candles)

George Newsome of Climax Blues Band (76 candles)

This sounds like a heck of a concert in Pittsburgh in 1974...

Robert Smith married his high school sweetheart 35 years ago today and they are still going strong. Impressive for someone in the rock and roll spotlight to remain together with their true love.

And it's a good excuse to post this song:

It's funny to me that Rush is more highly regarded worldwide than they are in Canada. Don't get me wrong, they have a devoted fanbase in Canada, but they seem to be even more revered in the States and Europe.

/Just my opinion

Listen, Taco is great. No doubt. But he would be about a Mount Shasta compared to the Mount Everest of music - the incomparable Laura Branigan!

Umberto Tozzi's original is also better

Neil Peart was an incredible lyricist. Two of my faves from their later albums

It seems you either love em or hate em.
I certainly respect the musicianship of the band, but find them unlistenable.
Mostly Getty Lee's voice I think. But also, it sounds like they are all playing different songs at the same time.

I spent a day with Rush's long time tour manager a couple of months ago ( he was with the band before Neil Peart was). Super nice guy, and we had this discussion. He chuckled when I commented "just because you CAN play in 11/4 time, doesn't mean that you SHOULD"

i have been a rush fan since a friend turned me on to a farwell to kings in 1977.even got my 18 year old son hooked on them when saw them on the final tour.i,m listening to them now.

No reason other than that I really like this song and thought this band would’ve been a lot bigger than they were

End of last school year, the lil biscuit had some trouble with a former friend who was talking some shit about her and trying to pit friends against friends. Typical high school stuff. Last night was back to school/meet the teacher night and the kiddo realized she had two classes with the asshole. We had a good talk about letting people who don't like you do what they do and get back at them by just being awesome and unaffected by their idiocy. I then sang the refrain "In my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or I die?"

So of course, she had to know what that was from. I played it.

In her desire to learn guitar she started asking all sorts of questions about the song and the band and I played a few more. She is now sitting in our family room in her Metallica T-shirt watching videos about how Johnny Marr layered his sound and how to tune to get his jangly sound. I showed her a photo and now she REALLY wants this guitar:

So anyone sees a Fender Jaguar laying around, let me know.




Also, I may need a place to stay once Mrs 43 realizes I have turned a child onto the Smiths / The The / Modest Mouse. She is not a fan. Especially the Smiths.

i never listened to the smiths i was into hard rock like led zeppelin and rush.heard they were popular with the punk crowd though.
