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."
