*** Turn To Stone: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=kXpjF1qtpt0&feature=share http://www.pandora.com/electric-light-orchestra/out-of-blue/turn-to-stone/TRwZ4VkJxmzJcvc *** All Over The World: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=GzV-UaG4Nuk&feature=share https://www.pandora.com/artist/electric-light-orchestra/xanadu-soundtrack/all-over-the-world/TRtlnVmJtlZ6x24?part=ug-mobile&corr=12481079 *** I am celebrating the musical genius who still walks among us at 72 years of age => Jeff Lynne. Much better to celebrate him now rather than posthumously. A once-a-century maestro in our time=> an absolutely masterful genius. Just listen toContinue reading “Turn To Stone… All Over The World… === ELO”

Strange Magic and Livin’ Thing – Jeff Lynne, ELO

Jeff Lynne. He still walks among us, folks. Under-appreciated genius. Under-appreciated legend! The man is truly one of rock n’ roll’s all time greats. Roll over Beethoven! His musical compositions are incomparable to me. He creates such beautiful and moving melodies. My soul transcends this world listening to Jeff Lynne and ELO. Who else hasContinue reading “Strange Magic and Livin’ Thing – Jeff Lynne, ELO”

Rock n’ Roll – A Metaphor

Photo: Pinterest (a picture of you know who) When I listen to rock n’ roll, I am moved and inspired. I am energized with unearned strength. It makes me bubble up and JUKE inside! It’s a terribly ugly sight… but rock n’ roll music even makes me want to dance! Rock n’ roll makes meContinue reading “Rock n’ Roll – A Metaphor”

Nobody Loves You – John Lennon

I know some reject John Lennon due to his total rejection of Jesus. I understand. But I want to again emphasize that I believe it’s important to always separate the art from the artist. John Lennon was a stupendous, rock n’ roll music master. His contributions to rock n’ roll are legendary and incalculable. IContinue reading “Nobody Loves You – John Lennon”

American Girl – Tom Petty

Tagged in YouTube as Tom Petty’s last song (??) => See the below YouTube link. We dearly miss you, Tom Petty. Where did all the old ones go anyway? Death gets increasingly harder to deal with the older you get. All the people you knew up close or were acquainted with from a distance increasinglyContinue reading “American Girl – Tom Petty”

Living Thing

I realize that I have posted this tune just recently; but I just gotta’ post it again (sorry). If you are reading this, you have to watch/listen to this YouTube video (sorry: blog visiting requirement 😎). Such incredibly gifted and fantastic artists => Rosie Langley and ELO. This song incorporates the orchestral element of aContinue reading “Living Thing”

Tutti Frutti

“Got a gal.. name Daisy… She almost drives me crazy!” The one and only => Little Richard! Not extolling him for it, but Little Richard was flat dang crazy before it was fashionable. There are probably less than ten or so musicians in the 1950’s who truly helped define rock n’ roll. Little Richard wasContinue reading “Tutti Frutti”

Bob Dylan – Not Dark Yet

http://www.pandora.com/artist/bob-dylan/time-out-of-mind/not-dark-yet/TR3xf4hfvKJdvgg http://www.youtube.com/watch { The lyrics in Pandora are recommended. The lyrics are dark. The poetry is DEEP. Seems like ole’ Bob is a little bit feeling his own mortality here. We can relate, Bob. } Bob Dylan… Legend. ‘Nuff said.

Harvest Moon

http://www.pandora.com/neil-young/harvest-moon/harvest-moon/TRcJ465Zpg7xfkg I love Neil Young’s music. Bob Dylan and Neil Young are considered to be the two most prolific rock n’ roll artists of all time. And two of the best, I would add. Neil Young’s voice is a little on the quirky side; but I love it. There’s something enchanting to me about hisContinue reading “Harvest Moon”

Good Golly Miss Molly

http://www.pandora.com/artist/little-richard/very-best-of-little-richard/good-golly-miss-molly/TRvr26Pq3K43drV Another rock n’ roll foundational influence => Little Richard. Little Richard and Chuck Berry were two of the first to really let it all hang out (no sexual innuendo intended). Little Richard was one mad-man rock n’ roller. No question about it. He could truly “rip it up.” Again, I always try to separateContinue reading “Good Golly Miss Molly”

Carl Perkins – That’s Alright Momma’

http://www.youtube.com/watch Carl Perkins and friends play together (George Harrison, Ringo, Eric Clapton, and others). Another early rock n’ roll building block => Carl Perkins. Carl mostly retreated back into his country roots later on, but Carl Perkins could rock n’ roll. The man never had quite the same impact, but Carl Perkins was another ElvisContinue reading “Carl Perkins – That’s Alright Momma’”

“Born On the Bayou”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/creedence-clearwater-revisited/20th-century-masters-the-best-of-creedence-clearwater-revisited/born-on-the-bayou-live/TRkV7JjJ5z5wlzc Creedance Clearwater Revival! Great 60’s sound out of California (not Louisiana as some of us had once thought during the day). John Fogerty: The man created some fantastic music. Some of Creedance’s lyrics come to mind: “… so far away from me” – “I ain’t no senator’s son”. Creedance was an essential element inContinue reading ““Born On the Bayou””

“Everybody’s Got The Word”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/electric-light-orchestra/xanadu-soundtrack/all-over-the-world/TRtlnVmJtlZ6x24 All Over The World! “Everybody’s got the word.” Rockin’ melody with a great falsetto whiff (I can’t even whistle parts of this tune, much less sing it). Stupendously ingenious, syncopated rhythm and foot-stompin’ beat. Tell me ELO can’t BIG TIME lay it down! Jeff Lynne, baby! => => => ELO ROCKS !!! 🌈 {wokeContinue reading ““Everybody’s Got The Word””

“Don’t Worry Baby”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/the-beach-boys/shut-down-vol-2-mono-and-stereo-remaster/dont-worry-baby-mono/TRVvf2v4cn92wzk The Beach Boys always caught a lot of grief – even back in the day. They were never avant-guarde enough. But ala Ricky Nelson, that kind of criticism is TOTALLY AND FOREVER UNDESERVED! Laugh if you want to, but The Beach Boys are one of my very favorite groups of all time. I loveContinue reading ““Don’t Worry Baby””
