Turn To Stone… All Over The World… === ELO

*** 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”

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”

Hold On, I’m Coming – Sam And Dave

This song is a perfect fusion of gospel, rock n’ roll, and soul. What a grand blend, baby! I’m coming!!! Yes, HE is!!! An allegory and a metaphor => like so much of other rock n’ roll music to me. As I’ve shared before, life has taken on a much more allegorical, metaphorical essence toContinue reading “Hold On, I’m Coming – Sam And Dave”

The Story In Your Eyes – Moody Blues

The Moody Blues! This group is one of my all time, ALL-TIME favorite rock n’ roll bands! They are one of the British BIG FIVE in my book. The BRITISH BIG FIVE: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Electric Light Orchestra, The Moody Blues, and The Who. Rock n’ Roll was birthed in the good ole’Continue reading “The Story In Your Eyes – Moody Blues”

Golden Slumbers – The Beatles

I’ve meandered around all over the place with rock n’ roll. However, not to be horribly remiss, I gotta’ post a Beatles song from one of my all-time favorite record albums (most probably my very favorite record album): Abbey Road. I can’t add anything to what has already been said about The Beatles. They wereContinue reading “Golden Slumbers – The Beatles”

Thunder On The Mountain Heavy As Can Be -Bob Dylan

http://www.pandora.com/artist/bob-dylan/modern-times/thunder-on-the-mountain/TRnP3c3dcXPqg7k Okay, so maybe Bob Dylan doesn’t have the greatest voice in the world. However, he MORE than makes up for it with the other components of his music. Personally, I’ve come to love and appreciate Bob’s quirky, stylized lyrical jousting. {{{ Lyrics continued on Pandora.com }}} “Thunder On The Mountain” is probably my favoriteContinue reading “Thunder On The Mountain Heavy As Can Be -Bob Dylan”

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”

ELO – Livin’ Thing :: A Metaphor For Me

Music:: Intentional or unintentional => Parable. Allegory. Metaphor. A grand chemerical fractal. Rock n’ roll can be appreciated on another level as a metaphor (and sometimes parable/allegory). Another great reason OLD SCHOOL rock n’ roll blesses my soul so much. Our walk with God => it’s a Livin’ Thing! Our faith, being tested and exercisedContinue reading “ELO – Livin’ Thing :: A Metaphor For Me”

Dreams – Land of Strange

Photo (Switzerland): Kristanix.com http://www.pandora.com/fleetwood-mac/rumours-expanded-edition/dreams/TR6fxcc77Km5prV?shareImp=true&part=ug&corr=12482151 Dreams are strange, often frightening, but sometimes wonderful. Dreams are musical in an allegorical sense, allowing the mind to wander, to imagine, to explore, to be challenged – somehow to be refreshed. As do music and poetry, in a different fashion dreams open up emotive dimensions and landscapes previously not consideredContinue reading “Dreams – Land of Strange”

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”

“Sharp Dressed Man”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/zz-top/eliminator/sharp-dressed-man/TR9tmbJprJ3PVf6 I saw ZZ-Top back in 1970 at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas. There were just three guys onstage but these guys tore the place up with their sound. It sounded like a dozen guys were playing. It was very clear these people were going to make a long-term impact upon rock n’Continue reading ““Sharp Dressed Man””

Splish Splash

http://www.pandora.com/bobby-darin/bobby-darin/splish-splash/TRbZpq455rrXxf6 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=QSA-yHzkvP8&feature=share Love the Bobby Darin. Bobby Darin had a bunch of big-time hits. The man could sing. No apologies for all the rock n’ roll posts (can’t help myself). Just hope somebody out there loves old school rock n’ roll as much as I do (though I can’t imagine that one 😄). Thank you,Continue reading “Splish Splash”

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”
