Old school music is cool!

[Blurock]

Blurock, you rock! I thoroughly enjoyed this video from start to finish! Some superb guitar work… tell me what you think about # 652. Do you find similarities between Chris Isaak and Roy Orbison? What do you think about the guitar work in this song? How does this song make you feel?

Glad you enjoyed John Mayer. I have to agree, there are similarities between Chris Isaak and Roy Orbison. It's because both have their roots in the Blues. I love Chris' music and have loaded an album or 2 on my MP3.

A young Courtney Cox was in the front row of this concert! Bruce grabbed her from the audience and danced with her!


“Cox appeared in the 1984 music video for Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" as a female pulled onstage to dance with Springsteen”[1]

“Long before ‘Friends’ was even a thought, a young fresh-faced model named Courteney Cox shot to fame as the wide-eyed woman pulled up onstage to dance during Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘Dancing in the Dark’ video.
The clip became so iconic that everyone wanted to cast the fledgling actress, but her early choices with the ‘Misfits of Science’ TV series and films like ‘Masters of the Universe’ and ‘Cocoon: The Return’ didn’t exactly pan out. She caught a big break playing Alex’s girlfriend on TV’s ‘Family Ties’ before finally seeing her career take off with ‘Friends,’ a full decade after her ‘Dancing in the Dark’ appearance.”[4]

Adrian, You in your eraly 40's....... Dire Straits and Chris Isaaks are part of my collection too...love the song, 'Somebody's Crying,' magical guitar work, magical song...

“I know somebody and they cry for you
They lie awake at night and dream of you
I bet you never even know they do
But somebody’s crying

I know somebody and they called your name
A million times and still you never came
They go on loving you just the same
I know that somebody’s trying

So please
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'

I know that somebody’s lyin'
I know that somebody’s lyin'

Give me a sign and let me know we’re thru
If you don’t love me like I love you
But if you cry at night the way I do
I’ll know that somebody’s lyin'

So please
Return the love
You took from me
Or please
Let me know
It can’t be me
I know when somebody’s lyin'
I know when somebody’s lyin'”

A re-run if you will

Blurock, Adele has an amazing voice, I esp. like her pitch changes in "Fire to the rain".

I have to admit, I never knew who Adele was until she won all those awards. As I NEVER listen to the radio, it may take some time fo9r me to catch up. Well, that way, I never have to listen to rap and only the real achievers will reach my ears.

Bob Marley: Rebel Music: 1977

Allow me to take you on an eerie journey…
There was a time when a song simply had to take you on a journey! The inherent style was to tell you a story and challenge you to see if that version of events was more probable than yours..It’s either you experience the song or you don’t, this one is a sheer experience.

“(do do do do-do do do!
Do do do do-do do do!
I rebel music;
I rebel music.)
Why can't we roam (oh-oh-oh-oh) this open country? (open country)
Oh, why can't we be what we wanna be? (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We want to be free. (wanna be free)

3 o'clock roadblock - curfew,
And i've got to throw away -
Yes, i've got to throw away -
A yes-a, but i've got to throw away
My little herb stalk!

I (rebel music) - yeah, i'm tellin' you! -
(i) i rebel music (rebel music). oh-ooh!

Take my soul (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And suss - and suss me out (suss me out). oh-ooh!
Check my life (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh),
If i am in doubt (i'm in doubt); i'm tellin':
3 o'clock roadblock - roadblock - roadblock,
And "hey, mr. cop! ain't got no - (hey) hey! (hey, mr cop) -
(what ya sayin' down there?) - (hey) hey! (hey, mr cop) -
Ain't got no birth certificate on me now."
---

(do do do!)
I (rebel music) - yeah, i'm tellin' you! -
(i) i rebel music (rebel music).

Oh-ooh! take my soul (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And suss - and suss me out (suss me out). oh-ooh!
Check my life (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh),
If i am in doubt (i'm in doubt); i'm tellin':
3 o'clock roadblock - roadblock - roadblock,
And "hey, mr. cop! ain't got no - (hey) hey! (hey, mr cop) -
(what ya sayin' down there?) - (hey) hey! (hey, mr cop) -
Ain't got no birth certificate on me now."

When I listen to this song I see all the news in my head....

Johnny Cash "Redemption Day"
(originally by Sheryl Crow)

I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing

It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day

Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day

What do you have for us today?
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited til so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great

There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day

It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

Jamming: Bob Marley: 1977: Album: Exodus: One love Peace Concert: 22 April 1978



“ I wanna jam it with you.. Hope you like jammin', too!” There was one occasion where Bob Marley put on a soldier’s uniform and cap i.e. album cover ‘Rastaman Vibration.’ I think he felt it necessary because of his song ‘WAR!’ He addresses a great many things in this song especially how he was against the philosophy which creates a class struggle and racial struggle.
Photo[1]

“This concert was held during a political civil war in Jamaica between opposing parties Jamaican Labour Party and the People's National Party. The concert came to its peak during Bob Marley & The Wailers' performance of "Jammin'", when Marley joined the hands of political rivals Michael Manley (PNP) and Edward Seaga (JLP).”[2]

“Just let me tell you something (yeah), to make everything come true, we gotta be together. (Yeah, yeah, yeah) and through the spirit of the Most High we're inviting a few leading people of the slaves to shake hands. . . To show the people that you love them right, to show the people that you gonna unite, show the people that you're over bright, show the people that everything is all right. Watch, watch, watch, what you're doing, because I wanna send a message right out there. I mean, I'm not so good at talking but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Well, I'm trying to say, could we have, could we have, up here onstage here the presence of Mr. Michael Manley and Mr. Edward Seaga. I just want to shake hands and show the people that we're gonna make it right, we're gonna unite, we're gonna make it right, we've got to unite . The moon is right over my head, and I give my love instead. The moon was right above my head, and I give my love instead.”

The Old School legends promoted peace and love!


Ooh, yeah; well, alright
We're jammin'
I wanna jam it with you
We're jammin', jammin'
And I hope you like jammin' too
Ain't no rules, ain't no vow
We can do it anyhow
I and I will see you through
'Cause every day we pay the price
We are the living sacrifice
Jammin' till the jam is through

We're jammin'
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past
We're jammin'
And I hope this jam is gonna last
No bullet can stop us now
We neither beg nor we won't bow
Neither can be bought nor sold
We all defend the right
Jah Jah children must unite
For life is worth much more than gold

We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jammin'
And we're jammin' in the name of the Lord
We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jammin'
We're jammin' right straight from yard
Singing Holy Mount Zion, Holy Mount Zion
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion and rules all creation
Yeah, we're jammin', Bop-chu-wa-wa-wa

We're jammin'
I wanna jam it with you
We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jammin'
And Jamdown hope you're jammin', too
Jah knows how much I 'ave tried
The truth cannot hide
To keep you satisfied
True love that now exists
Is the love I can't resist
So jam by my side
We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jammin'
I wanna jam it with you
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin'
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin'
Hope you like jammin', too."

UB40 vs Manhattans ... Kiss and say goodbye

UB40 vs Manhattans ... Kiss and say goodbye

A master piece! Done very smartly! UB40(as they were) remained true to their childhood and teen idols. They paid homage to these artists by putting so much soul into classic. Vintage material..
