    Shining Star: The Manhattans: 1979
    Joining the army can have certain benefits! Well, you can meet four other friends, develop a strong friendship and when you leave the army, you just go ahead and form a group called “The Manhattans!”
    According to Wikipedia(The Manhattans: Accessed 18 October 2012), The Manhattans, originally from Jersey City, New Jersey, formed in 1962 with members George "Smitty" Smith, Edward "Sonny" Bivins (born January 15, 1942, Macon, Georgia), Winfred "Blue" Lovett (born 16 November 1943), Kenny "Wally" Kelley (born Kenneth Kelley, January 9, 1943, New Jersey), and Richard "Ricky" Taylor. Bivins, Lovett, and Kelley were graduating from Lincoln High School, while Taylor and Smith were graduating from Snyder High School. All five enlisted in the armed forces and came together as a group following their discharges from their respective branches.
    Please ignore the dancing and dress code, it was 1979!!!
    I proudly give you “Shinning Star.”


    “Honey you are my shining star
    Don't you go away
    Oh, baby

    A poem from 1906 and Fleetwood Mac’s song everywhere!!!!
    It doesn’t get as classic as this, this one goes back to 1906!!!!!
    The poem in question is “The Highway man,’ written by Alfred Noyles in 1906. The idea of the poet was to create a background imagery to his words. This poem in set in 18th century Britain. He wanted you to see something! As Dave would probably say, “the devil is in the details,” So Fleetwood Mac gives you fine details…The musical Video ‘Everywhere,’ from a very special album “Tango in the night,”: 1988 entices you with imagery of an old scroll with the words
    “The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,” the music video itself then tells you the rest of the story of this poem, tragic really, this charming robber (okay so he robbed people by day and was Romeo at night). Notwithstanding this this robber that the poem describes falls in love with a fairly decent girl.. Down town guy for uptown girl? She’s the daughter of this inn keeper. Being the character the highway man was, he was always on the run. He was due to see her on one ghostly night. She was expecting him. This was not to be. Before he arrives, some British soldiers find their way there first. They want to catch the highway man, what better way to do it than by waiting for him at his girlfriends place! One drunk soldier has a gun pointed at her chest, but he falls asleep, she’s tied up, the gun is still pointed to her chest. She moves around in such a manner, that she’s able to pull the trigger and kill herself. She does this, so that the highway man can hear the shot and not be caught! So the ghost of the highway man rides that ghastly road every night to be everywhere with Bess!!!
    I proudly give you Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere:-

    “Can you hear me calling
    Out your name
    You know that I'm falling
    And I don't know what to say

    I'll speak a little louder
    I'll even shout
    You know that I'm proud
    And I can't get the words out

    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere
    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere


    Something's happening
    Happening to me
    My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

    C'mon baby
    We better make a start
    You better make it soon
    Before you break my heart

    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere
    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere
    (Wanna be with you everywhere)

    Can you hear me calling
    Out your name
    You know that I'm falling
    And I don't know what to say

    Come along baby
    We better make a start
    You better make it soon
    Before you break my heart

    Oh I...
    I want to be with you everywhere.”

    “The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
    The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
    The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
    And the highwayman came riding—
    Riding, the highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.”

    Fleetwood Mac is one of those bands that have been around forever. Nice easy soft rock. I liked the original FM with Peter Green. Listen to the lead guitar on Man of the World and Oh Well part 2. Unfortunately Peter was institutionalised after succumbing to drugs.

    Blues for Greeny is a tribute to Peter Green by the late Gary Moore after Peter gave him his guitar. Well worth listening to.
    Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...

    In the late 90’s Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame..
    “Nice easy soft rock,” I second that!! Peter Green was actually the founder of Fleetwood Mac, he aptly named the band after 2 members. Drug and alcohol abuse among musicians past and present is unfortunately a reality. Many have succumbed to this. The recent additions to the graveyard have been Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. It’s increasingly difficult to get the full version ofevents leading up to Peter Green being hospitalised. Some claim he succumbed to LSD and then developed schizophrenia. Others claim it was a combination of drugs, alcohol and superstar burn out, and it’s tragic regardless!
    The voice of Stevie Nicks is etched in memory for me. I love that woman’s voice. When I need cheap escapism, one of the best ways for me is to play Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Seven Wonder’s What a song, what a group
    This song definitely qualifies as “Nice easy soft rock,” Apparently we now have a new list of seven wonders. The reference of seven wonders in this song applies to The Colossus of Rhodes, The Great Pyramid of Giza, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, The Lighthouse of Alexandria, The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, The Statue of Zeus at Olympia and The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
    Seven wonders: Fleetwood Mac
    “So long ago, certain place, certain time
    You touched my hand
    On the way
    On the way down to Emmiline
    But if our paths never cross
    Well you know I'm sorry but
    If I live to see the seven wonders
    I'll make a path to the rainbow's end
    I'll never live to match the beauty again
    The rainbow's end

    So it's hard to find
    Someone with that kind of intensity
    You touched my hand I played it cool
    And you reached out your hand to me
    But if our paths never cross
    Well you know I'm sorry but
    If I live to see the seven wonders
    I'll make a path to the rainbow's end
    I'll never live to match the beauty again
    The rainbow's end

    So long ago
    It's a certain time
    It's a certain place
    You touched my hand and you smiled
    All the way back you held out your hand
    If I hope and if I pray
    Ooh it might work out someday
    If I live to see the seven wonders
    I'll make a path to the rainbow's end
    I'll never live to match the beauty again
    The rainbow's end

    If I live to see the seven wonders
    I'll make a path to the rainbow's end
    I'll never live to match the beauty again

    If I live to see the seven wonders
    I'll make a path to the rainbow's end
    I'll never live to match the beauty again”

    Breakfast in bed with Chrissie Hynde!

    Confession: Chrissie Hynde YOU WERE my wet dream as a kid in the 80’s, classy, sexy, provocative, elegant and well spoken lady!

    If only, she told me that I could cry on her dress! I would do far more than just cry on her dress!
    UB40 and Chrissie Hynde done a smart rendition of breakfast in bed! Ali Campbell was dressed as a Catholic priest in the original 80’s music video

    This one is very special for another reason, the song was rendered at a concert in 1988 which was a tribute to Nelson Mandela in !!!
    I proudly give you Chrissie Hynde and UB40: Breakfast in bed: 1988(Original 80's music video!)


    [Chrissie:]
    You've been crying your face is a mess
    Come in baby, you can wipe the tears on my dress
    She's hurt you again, I can tell
    I know that look so well

    [Ali:]
    Don't be shy, we've been here before
    Pull your shoes off,
    And I will lock the door
    And no-one has to know, I've come here again
    Knowing it'll be like it's always been before

    [Chorus:]
    [Chrissie & Ali:]
    Breakfast in bed, kisses for me
    You don't have to say you love me
    Breakfast in bed, love can make you sing

    [Chrissie:]
    What's your hurry, please don't hit and run
    We can let her wait, my darling its been so long

    [Ali:]
    Since you've had me here, I've returned again
    Darling it will be like it's always been before."

    Chrissie Hynde: What a voice! Now this lady could bring it home LIVE!!!
    We often find a situation where an artist does a remarkable job in the studio and under studio conditions. When the environment is changed to live concert, many don’t always deliver the same quality voice and supporting original instrument music. In 1988, a concert was held to celebrate Madiba’s 70th Birthday. Chrissie Hynde and UB40 sand at this concert. One the songs they shared was “ Breakfast in bed..
    Why do I like this particular 80’s live concert video??
    Well, Chrissie Hynde and UB40 deliver!! They meet and even exceed expectations.
    I proudly give you the live version of Breakfast in bed….

    I been driving on out, my hands wet on the wheel
    there’s a voice in my head that drives my heal
    it’s my baby come and said I need you here
    its half past four and I’m shifting gear

    when I get lonely and the longing gets too much
    she sends comfort coming in from above
    don’t need no radio at all
    we got a thing its called radar love
    we got a wave in the air radar love
    the radios playing some forgotten song
    I feel the need coming on strong
    the road has got me hypnotized
    as I spin into a new sun rise

    no more speed I'm almost there
    got to keep cool now got to take care
    last car to pass, here I go
    the line of cars go down real slow
    the radio plays that forgotten song
    blinding speed, coming on strong
    the news man sang his same song
    One more radar lover gone...

    when I'm feeling lonely and I’m sure I’ve had Enough...
    she sends the comfort coming in from above
    don’t need no radio at all
    we got a thing and its called radar love
    we got a light in the sky
    we got a thing and its called radar love
    we got a thing that’s called radar love

    RADAR LOVE - GOLDEN EARING

    What a lekker one to keep the feet stomping and your head mving to the beat....

    The Rock Horror Picture was really something else! It had no dull moments! It’s remained hugely popular by virtue of the many theater productions. There was a time when most parties as a general rule played ‘Time warp.’

    Smart song! I can actually take alot from this very song! These lyrics are the underpinnings of a meaning song! It's got to mean something to you. It should have some effect on you.
    2 Songs immediately come to my mind, from 2 totally diffrent artists from 2 totally different periods 1: Magic Changes: Olivia Newton John and 2: Behind the wheel: Depeche Mode..

    1:“What's that playing on the radio?
    Why do I start swayin' too and fro?
    I have never heard that song before,
    But if I don't hear it anymore

    It's still familiar to me
    Sends a thrill right through me
    'Cause those chords remind me of the night that …”



    2:“My little girl
    Drive anywhere
    Do what you want
    I don't care

    Tonight
    I'm in the hands of fate”
