hollywood Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Apparently the Robinson brothers are back in a reformed Black Crowes. Doesn't seem as if they have any new material. So maybe pop music stopped for them and they just want to capitalize on the past. Yet what was their biggest song? A cover of Redding's "Hard to Handle"? Remembrance of things past.

Wilfrid Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Maybe I shouldn’t be allowed out. “Mother” by Pink Floyd just came on in a bar and I heard myself say out loud “Stupid hippy rubbish,” and really nobody asked me (and I am by myself). What next? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Listening to “Here Comes the Sun,” a lovely melody written four years earlier by Gene Clark, and called “Feel a Whole Lot Better.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Quote A few days earlier, I had a similar experience at a local diner, where the entire staff was under thirty but every song more than forty years old. I asked my server: “Why are you playing this old music?” She looked at me in surprise before answering: “Oh, I like these songs.” Good piece. I was looking at one of his books in the library recently but I can't remember which one. All he's missing is where he should ask the reader to imagine young people forty years ago listening to playlists of forty year-old songs. I remember 1982 well enough to attest that the only people listening to playlists from 1942 were parents and grandparents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Bonner Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Let me tell you something that absolutely has not changed. Lax bro pump up music. Took AB^2 to a Princeton - Dartmouth game and the warm up music (chosen by the players) probably didn't have a track post 2004 and the crescendo was "Enter Sandman," a song on our locker room playlist in the mid 90s.

Wilfrid Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Right, how long ago did Mariana Rivera pick that as his walk-on track? ETA: 1999 says Wikipedia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 How embarrassing. Did Townsend get his hearing back? I remember he reverted to acoustic guitar and had a plastic wall around him on stage to protect him from the noise. And hey, that was probably forty years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 They were on Colbert the other night. If I saw Townsend in the subway, I probably wouldn't recognize him 'cause he just looks like Random Old Man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
