Sitting in the pick up line at school and the car In front of me is blasting RATT. Rock on.

ETA: and there’s a little white fluffy bichon looking dog on their lap, with its head out the window

Rock.

I hope they were driving a Trans-AM

A couple down the street were beside themselves with joy yesterday afternoon, because they were on their way to Shoreline Amphitheater to see Def Leppard and Motley Crue. Sheesh.

That would be a fun show if someone gave me a ticket.

Yeah. I told them to Rawk On! I would have enjoyed myself if I had joined them, but I would've been embarrassed to be there.

oh absolutely. I actually went and saw Poison/Cinderella/RATT and some c list one hit wonder band (edit: I think it was Dokken or Slaughter) at Riverbend in cincinnati many moons ago. It was awesome.

And SC, one man's Motley Crue is another man's Flying Burrito Brothers. Also, when you suggested early in this thread to do a CD swap...that is legit old man stuff and it was 7 years ago!

Last I remembered she was Steve Earle's 14th wife or something.

Spotify playlists now?

actually found a tool that could upload titles from a local playlist (.m3u) to Spotify, though (humblebrag) my collection has things Spotify doesn't

I saw that show too! Must have been the same tour. Was it like 99-2000?

That sounds about right.

I can only come up with Gilmore, Townsend, Daltry, Bob, Wood, and Fry.

I think the guy next to him is that Scottish comedian but can't think of his name.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Sep 21, 2022 7:43 pm

My favorite was the second from the right, lower level. I’ve certainly heard of him, but not thought of him in 25 years.

Don’t think Connoly’s hair meets starfleet regulations.

All of the Who (save Keith Moon) are there. And that's convicted pedophile Gary Glitter at the back right.

The tweet that gave all the names was deleted, but here is a review of the event through a very vintage blog post.

https://myvintagerock.com/2012/10/15/th ... june-1996/

It has a few more of the names. Oddly, Clapton and Alanis Morrissette don't appear in the picture. And as for Frank Bruno(!), he's looking pretty good considering that it was three months from his second Tyson fight.

If you don’t know the names, they are on wiki.

Howard hasn't logged into the Swamp in nearly 2 years. His last post was over 4.5 years ago.

DC hasn't logged in in a year. His last post was a month before Howard's last post.

Anyone know why both left? And why did both stop posting in Jan/Feb 2018?

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 11:14 am

Howard was politics based, no?

DC ? Maybe someone finally figured out he was that Scottish guy from BC.

Post by **Shirley** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 12:49 pm

HDO is another one. Only one post in four years and that was two years ago.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 1:23 pm

DC was certainly not you-know-who. I had dinner with him in Ann Arbor once. Nice guy.

Howard told me directly that he left primarily because his politics weren’t in step with the Swamp. Also, he said he was dealing with some health and personal issues, but he didn’t elaborate on that.

HDO is on Facebook, so some of us keep in contact that way. He left mostly in protest of you-know-who getting banned (although he did come back occasionally after that.)

I can second these statements.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 9:47 pm

I share Facebook messages with hdo occasionally. He’s had some health problems but lately seems to be doing fine. I’d say he’s in his 70s at least which makes him the second oldest swamper after tennbengal.

So, I've been writing all day, and having a great time getting ahead of deadlines by creating silliness for kids. And sure, I finished my first bourbon and am into the second beer...

But I will go to the grave saying that this is one of the greatest albums ever released. EVERY song is fantastic, and a couple of them are downright classics.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Sat Sep 24, 2022 11:35 pm

So good you guys...

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Wed Sep 28, 2022 10:42 am

Obviously I'm biased, but Philly Soul is just a fantastic subgenre. Just great song after great song.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Wed Sep 28, 2022 11:07 am

I went and saw Roxy Music Monday night. Most of the original guys (albeit with lots of help - I counted 13 in the band.). Great presentation. Phil Manzanera is still an excellent guitarist, and Bryan Ferry is still a great front man (at 77 - it was his birthday!)

St. Vincent opened. Good pairing. Interesting show.

You are so right.

This has got to be one of my alltime favourite songs.

That very song came up today when I was prepping lunch.

50 Years Ago Stevie Wonder Heard The Future

An appreciation of Stevie Wonder, the "Talking Book" album and his incredible run of great music in the early 70s.

In their test run — a three-day weekend working together in the studio — Wonder wrote 17 songs. From 1972-74, with Wonder writing the songs and Cecil and Margouleff programming the sounds, they would make four landmark albums: “Music of My Mind,” “Talking Book,” “Innervisions” and “Fulfillingness’ First Finale.”

Sure, but they expanded their sound in the second LP..I guess they didn't spend enough time fleshing out new material.

Anyway, what a time for music.
