Anyone else remember this one?
Anyone else remember this one?
Strange to admit that my mother turned me on to Procol Harum. Conquistador was also great.
Had a kind of Moody Blues sound.....
Going back in timeI remember first hearing Memory on the Johnny Carson show. I'd never heard of Cats, but had watched the damn show Eight is Enough. gah
More confessions---I really didn't know who Elaine Paige was until Susan Boyle said her name.
More Memory stuff!
Am I the only late night music nerd right now?
Somehow youtube directed me to Uriah Heep. While I remember that too, I thought this was better:
Heh - how funny. Cats was actually the first musical I saw on Broadway - although the first musical I ever saw was a touring company of Annie.
Meanwhile, the most memorable experience was Les Mis in London. It wasn't even the only show I saw there that summer, but it was absolutely my favorite, and nothing I have seen since then has come even close.
Our community theatre also did that before I quit performing - and it was brutal. I don't see how the people who did it for months on end managed - that's dedication and skill I just don't have.
But meanwhile ...
Heh - I have wicked awesome acoustics in this room.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
The man is a genius.
hey lolli, is it a coincidence that Sarah Jessica Parker sang on Broadway long before there was Sex in the City?
Speaking of flutes..... and geniuses.....
edit: For BSG fans...
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
oooh Glass is Good.
I was looking for some Madame Butterfly......maybe I've got the wrong aria?
Well, any Mozart is my fave, but requiem resounds. Especially awesome to see a movie help us into the brain of genius before youtube and all that techno stuff
Do you have it? Show me, from the beginning.
And it's all in his head, he can hear it before it's written or played. Like Beethoven writing deaf.
I watched that movie the other night and it underlined the naivete of a lot of Hollywood writing, to make impressions such as the one you got. Kind of ugh. And I'm just a history hobbyist! I'm sure people actually interested in the topic were incensed.
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
What a great movie! Best ever!
Astute observers will recognize the maid at the beginning of that clip. If you watched the whole movie you'll know her as a main character in.......Sex in the City.
Accidental six degrees of Kevin Bacon game? Started out with Broadway shows, Cats then Grease. Lolli mentioned Annie. Sarah Jessica Parker was the child playing/singing Annie on Broadway. She eventually starred in Sex in the City. Alongside the red head who had played the maid in Amadeus.
sorry, no music with that one. If you want I can post a tv commercial where she pimps hair products, with music in the background!

That last one, the man in the hat (Paul Kelly?) sounds a bit like Arlo Guthrie. Or maybe Bob Dillon.
Is that like Aussie's version of country/western, bluegrass, or folk?
Second to last, you added one while I was listening.
As you can tell, I'm in a rather "dark" mood today!
EDIT: That has to be the most unflattering pose I have ever seen!
I just found this one! Sounds like me!
I don't have a problem with authority....I just don't like being told what to do!Remember, the toes you step on today may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!RIP Fluffy! 01-07-09 I'm so sorry Fluffster! People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life!

Paul Kelly is in my humble opinion the greatest singer/songwriter Australia has produced - I am not alone in that opinion.Originally Posted by GGT

This is one of his from the 80's

Who the FUCK is Bucky Covington? That whole video is anachronistic and overly romantic for the old times. That guy is young enough to be my kid. His hair is coiffed for the camera, and his teeth look veneered. I doubt he ever watched a console television with 3 channels.
And most in his age group never got "the belt" for misbehaving. Not even in Texas, Kentucky or Tennessee. So who the hell is his audience?
What's he doing, trying awfully hard to sound poetic for the Grand Ole Opry crowd?
Gah, I hate music like that, mostly because the musicians still keep trying to sound like Dolly Parton. ugh
Pearl Jam singing a Mark Seymour song.
And a Wayne Cochran song...
Hunters and Collectors...
Such is Life...
Uhm, actually, he is in his early 40's, so it's entirely possible he watched a console TV with NO remote!I liked that song the very first time I heard it, because it's the truth! If you ask the "puppy" crowd of today, it's a wonder any of us lived, let alone were able to have kids to tell us how stupid we are for fondly remembering the days when things were simpler and more normal!

Wait, I wasn't comparing Paul Kelly to Bucky Covington or Dolly Parton!
I'm so drunk right now.

It's ok *pats GGT on the back consolingly* we understand!Wait, I wasn't comparing Paul Kelly to Bucky Covington or Dolly Parton!
Then there is this one...it is definitely BFE!

Maybe in the deep south or wild west, where those guys didn't get MTV or have VCRs until what, the 90's?Uhm, actually, he is in his early 40's, so it's entirely possible he watched a console TV with NO remote!
Just joking. Kinda. Kids in rural areas still ride bikes and skateboards without helmets. Some even ride ATV's and snow mobiles without helmets. Even adults ride motorcycles without helmets. Not the same thing as Dolly Parton sharing a bed with siblings and not caring if they wet the bed instead of using the outhouse, because it was warm and they had no heat. Now is it.
But surely pissing the bed with your siblings is a short term option vis a vis heating....right?
Not all of lifes experiences are character building, some are soul destroying....
Love the harmonica in this song...
