Old school music is cool!

Young Lust

“I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times

Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl
Will some woman in this desert land

Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee

Oooh Babe set me free

Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman

Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.

Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman

Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.”

Outside the Wall

“All alone, or in two's,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.

Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists

Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.



Isn't this where....”

[Blurock]

Eric Burton has always been a favourite.
This is the first song I performed on stage with a band.

Almost got electrocuted one stormy night while practicing this number.
My friends thought that I had at last developed a stage act of my own...

Freedom's Children was so far ahead of their time. They could have been the new Beatles with a little bit of luck and more exposure.
This is from the album Astra which was the first rock opera ever written. Turn up the volume...

Old school songs are cool. I enjoy Metallica, Iron Maiden, KISS, Van Halen, Bob Marley, Lionel Richie and the Beatles

Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone
Help!
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my life and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
Help me, help me, ooo

I was trying to include a video in my previous message[still finding my way around TheForumSA. I believe that we allowed to dedicate songs in this section that mean something to an individual.

Someone who has a thing for Beatles memorabilia, such as Beatles bags assisted me.

So this is for NB

Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone
Help!

Now I find I've changed my life and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?

I was watching an episode of the Simpsons yesterday, and jazz was one of the plot points. A bit of random browsing afterwards led me to this. Truly excellent stuff.

Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues

Johny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skip cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the DA
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try, 'No Doz'
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows.

Get sick, get well
Hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters.

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles.

Bob Dylan has to be among the best songwriters of our age. Unfortunately, the art of songwriting is dying as modern lyrics consist mainly of repeated grunts, shouts, swearing and Ye Baby. No imagination and no artistic ability at all. The so-called artists write two lines that they overheard someone else mumble on the bus and then think they have written a song.

Here is a number made famous by Jimi Hendrix and was recorded by just about anyone who can play a guitar. Who else could write poetry like this? Enjoy.
