The occasional loose profanity would show up in pop music lyrics, but until
Mac Davis came along, no one had used the word hell in the title as anything but a reference to the nether regions. Here it was being used as a point of emphasis. This was groundbreaking, as was the greater explicitness of the lyrics. Note the opening guitar riff, which sounds like a muted version of the Rolling Stones guitar riff that opens Satisfaction. For 1974, it was too much soul and too little country for Nashville, which is why it ended up being recorded in Muscle Shoals.

Hi AZ! and (((HUGS))) back. I’m on an email list from one of my brother’s friends and he forwards them to me. I like to share those great pictures of our guys past and present. Week went well, thanks. Been doing some orientation flights and am setting up a ground school for some of the locals that are interested in flying. A couple of kids from the local HS as well. Cheers for Now ... Janey

Good evening, AZ...*HUGS*...did you have a kind and gentle commute?
Work wise, week ended too soon. Monday will be swamped.
The folks are really slowing. Email from home that my Dad hadn’t gotten up all day( except for bathroom breaks). Hopefully he will be up when I get home (leaving soon) and Mom said she couldn’t make it to the mailbox unaided. She is still fighting a walker. I think I’m gonna have to push that issue.

Aloha, Biglook! PT is going well - Wednesday night's session was particularly vigorous. Still sore from it 48 hours later.
How are things going with you?

I got a hug from a soldier today...
 There was a young man in the store today looking for a going away gift for his girl, because he is going to Ft. Benning, Ga, for basic training in the Army.
My manager was waiting on him and was making suggestions, and I showed him the patriotic jewelry that I was wearing today, including the charm pictured above. I also told him that I wear red every Friday to support our brave troops. He turned to me and said, "Well...I just HAVE to give you a hug!"
And he did. It made my day. |

I’ve got a couple of hundred plants in flats.
I’ve potted up a bunch of herbs, parsley, chives, basil, rosemary, sage, thyme, marjoram, fennel, cumin...Everything but the cumin has taken off.

THE SOLDIERS CODE

Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses troops of the 101st Airborne Division 5Jun1944 prior to D-Day Normandy
The Soldiers Code
1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.
3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.
5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.
6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

All's well...and something to look forward too as well.
A friend of mine got two tickets to a Harlem Globetrotter's game that's coming our way. Been to several, here and there, most importantly here, with my son. Always a great show.

Mac Davis turned to TV in 1974, getting his own variety show on NBC, which lasted for two years. He had himself another hit, straddling the worlds of pop and country along the way.

I’m doing OK other than my back being flared up.
The fur faces are good.
I had dump truck of compost and one of topsoil delivered at Runamuck.
Shoveling and leveling it is probably what got my back.
Won’t be long and stuff will be ready to go into the ground.

They do put on a great show. I went to a game here in D.C. decades ago. Have seen them on TV a few times over the years. When I saw them live, a young Meadowlark Lemon was the big draw.

In 1979,
Mac Davis turned to acting, making his feature film debut with Nick Nolte in North Dallas Forty. Casablanca Records signed Mac away from Columbia. This label had been a player in the world of disco and with Kiss, and now they opened up a country branch. In 1980, Mac hosted an episode of The Muppets Show and contributed this classic.

I'm taking my son John to Marine Barrack Washington (8th & I) for the Friday Evening Parade on Jun 22 - the day after his 16th birthday. John's hot to go Marine. I had him view some of the boot camp footage from Full Metal Jacket - he's still interested.

I can't be sure, but I believe the first Joni Mitchell song I ever heard was "Michael From The Mountains" in 1968. I was a pre-freshman in High School (we had no middle schools in those days) and it was one of the most awkward years of my life, at least to that point. Something about Joni's music helped releive my stress of changing voice, changing responsibilities and overall growing pains. My best friend from elementary school was a girl who played guitar and set my juvenile lyrics to music, and it was she who first played me Joni's "Songs For A Seagull" album. I can honestly say that I fell in love with that mousey folk-singer who sang soprano and wrote charming melodies for her well crafted song-poems. "Charming" is a word with magical properties, it means to enchant or bewitch. It's been over 44 years now since I fell under Joni's spell and while she still portrays the folk-singer, her career has spanned rock, country, blues, jazz and pop and she continues to expand her palette of artistry. Her collaborations with Crosby, Stills & Nash, Johnny Cash, James Taylor, Tom Scott, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorious, Charles Mingus, Herbie Handcock and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters are all legend.
By far, her biggest songwriting success has come from other artists covering her work, but she's continued to grow as a performing artist with an endless string of albums and a relentless touring schedule. She has evolved as a lyricist and performer of such reknown and a composer with a cornicopia of such rich ideas that she has become an American icon, a poet laureate of an era, known and loved worldwide.
From humble beginnings in Saskatchewan, she moved to California in 1965 and was instantly recognized as a songwriting phenom, first on the folk scene but soon expanding into jazz in the 70's and eventually becoming uniquely ensconced in a catagory all her own, repected by her peers, adored by her fans and "stoking the starmaker machinery behind the popular song."

I was the music director of a college radio station in Philly when her first disk came out. I had gone into the station on a Saturday, when the place was deserted, to listen to that week's albums for our playlist. I put this disk on the turntable and was amazed by what I heard. This very song was the one that caught my ear.
I can still feel that moment in a darkened studio, listening to this disk while freezing in the air conditioning.
It's amazing what memories a simple song can bring back.

At Casablanca Records,
Mac Davis was moving back to his country roots, but taking elements of pop with him. If there is a moment when Macs brand of Hot Country began to take on its own sound, its here.
