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””

Tribute To George Harrison

Photo: courtesy of Wikipedia http://www.youtube.com/watch “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” George Harrison: one of the all-time greats! Dhani Harrison and Prince take it away on electric guitar in this Hall of Fame tribute video (Dhani was George’s only child). Makes one weep along with the “gently weeping” guitar at the thought of this huge lossContinue reading “Tribute To George Harrison”

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”

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’”

No Particular Place To Go

http://www.pandora.com/chuck-berry/st-louis-to-liverpool/no-particular-place-to-go/TRZgP2g3g3npfKm Chuck Berry, Baby!!! Chuck was one of the primary foundational cornerstones of rock n’ roll. Everyone down-the-line built upon what Chuck Berry helped build. He was one of the first to really give that electric geetar’ a good workout. Chuck’s cousin, Marvin, discovered the sound in Back To The Future, but Chuck brought itContinue reading “No Particular Place To Go”

Wouldn’t It Be Nice…

http://www.pandora.com/artist/the-beach-boys/10-great-songs/wouldnt-it-be-nice/TRlbxZPVvp99X5k Wouldn’t it be nice?! Oh man, wouldn’t it be?! { you fill in the blanks } Thank you, Pandora. https://www.pandora.com/artist/the-beach-boys/10-great-songs/i-get-around/TRzhq9VrvVxwjjV?part=ug&corr=12486036

Be My Baby

http://www.pandora.com/ronettes/presenting-fabulous-ronettes-featuring-veronica/be-my-baby/TRVr2hXVZhmlvxg https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ECP9CHhOu6w&feature=share Have to re-post this one. => One of my favorite oldies. Love the song. The original recording on Pandora is better than the above Hall of Fame (YouTube) version. Side note: As per usual, I always try to separate the art from the artist. Not that this is particularly relevant here. Am justContinue reading “Be My Baby”

Old Time Rock n’ Roll!

http://www.pandora.com/bob-seger/stranger-in-town/old-time-rock-roll/TRlgmzx4fgZw2jw My wife says I like ’em all. And I guess I do! I love so much of the OLD rock n’ roll. And love Bob Seger! Great, great music! His above picture puts me back in ‘the day’ => Men walking around with unashamedly long hair. I’m wearing my hair long now (2019) becauseContinue reading “Old Time Rock n’ Roll!”

It Ain’t Me

http://www.pandora.com/creedence-clearwater-revival/willy-poor-boys-40th-anniversary-edition/fortunate-son/TRmJ24kw6VhXb4g Creedance Baby! Got to have my DAILY rock n’ roll. Love Creedance Clearwater! They hung in there when times were really bad. Not to say that times are not bad now. The Heartbreakers are just that: Heartbreakers. http://www.pandora.com/tom-petty/wildflowers/you-wreck-me/TRr7nwhfJhhJzgw?shareImp=true&part=ug&corr=12484602 Thank you, Pandora.

We Are Stardust

music.youtube.com/watch It’s early October as I write in Dallas, Texas. It’s finally cooling off a little bit. I love Texas. I’m just not fond of the big city. Too much noise. Too much traffic. Too much pollution. Too much crime. Why are we all crowded together like cattle in a stockyard? There’s so much beautifulContinue reading “We Are Stardust”
