A fifty-something security guard attempted to persuade a crowd blocking the sidewalk to form an orderly line outside the Pepsi Center Thursday night ahead of the Fleetwood Mac concert.
A seventy-something man belted out,

That would make a good rock song.
I sleep 12 hours and I don’t know why.
To old to rock ..to young to dye.

Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Roll; Too Young to Die
Jethro Tull
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8uUh1xsL14
The old rocker wore his hair too long
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
Unfashionable to the end drank his ale too light
Death’s head belts buckle, yesterday’s dreams
The transport caf’ prophet of doom
Ringing no change in his double sewn seams
In his post-war babe gloom
Now he’s too old to rock ‘n’ roll
But he’s too young to die
Yes, he’s too old to rock ‘n’ roll
But he’s too young to die
He once owned a Harley Davidson
And a triumph Bonneville
Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs
And prays that he always will
But he’s the last of the blue blood greasers boys
And all of his mates are doing time
Married with three kids up by the ring road
Sold their souls straight down the line
And some of them own little sports cars
And meet at the tennis club do’s
For drinks on a Sunday, work on Monday
They’ve thrown away their blue suede shoes
Now they’re too old to rock ‘n’ roll
And they’re too young to die
And they’re too old to rock ‘n’ roll
And they’re too young to die
So the old rocker gets out his bike
To make a ton before he takes his leave
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
Just like it used to be
And as he flies, tears in his eyes
His wind-whipped words echo the final take
And he hits the trunk road doing around a 120
With no room left to brake
And he was too old to rock ‘n’ roll
But he was too young to die
He was too old to rock ‘n’ roll
And he was too young to die
No, you’re never too old to rock ‘n’ roll
If you’re too young to die
No, you’re never too old to rock ‘n’ roll
But he was too young to die
Songwriters: Ian Anderson
I like that one and can play it on guitar (all of 3 chords). In that Eagles era my favorite was "Take It To The Limit" an emotional ballad. Later, "Hotel California" showed me what these incredible musicians could do and became my favorite. I pretty much enjoy everything they have ever written and produced, even as far back as Take It Easy. Sorry.
The original Fleetwood Mac was about the best electric blues band on the planet for the few years it was together without the females. I always regret I missed them live as I did Hendrix. Given the choice, I’d take Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan over Jimi seven days a week. Amazing that the group went from spine-tingling blues to AOR pap in the space of a year or two.
I half thought about doing a search.
A wall plus a minefield yes. Dump Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Reform Act, get rid of have a kid in the US and citizenship, dump every immigration law created/changed since WWII, throw all Muslim and Hispanic illegals plus all others out. No Obama care. If one is obese they should not get health insurance unless via group health insurance at work. I have never had one kid of any neighbor ask to mow my lawn, nor do one damn thing to make money.
My condolences.
P.S. It would be Islamonauseated - unless it is your intent and/or effect to nauseate Islamos (which might be a good thing).
Panned? It was the most over-rated album of all time!!!!
As for Tusk, I was only referring to the actual song, which I liked simply because the marching-band sound was unique; Rumors wasn’t bad, but it deserved to be Gold, not double Diamond. It was simply perfectly conventional.
It’s called Viagra Rage. The four hour stiffy makes the mature male think he is a bad ass teen. “When your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill...” I read this somewhere....
Fwiw, Alan Passaro was found not guilty, as Meredith Hunter’s death was ruled as self defense.
A fun fact about “Hotel California”...
A friend of mine is a highly acclaimed mastering engineer based in LA. He remastered “Hotel California” on a gold CD for the DCC label.
In the 70s, many studios were changing to a new tape formulation and its offer of better sound quality. Alas, after many years the formulation began disintegrating.
He told me he had to literally “bake the tape” to help “reglue” the tape particles in order to remaster the album. This procedure is more mainstream these days.
Sonically, his remastered gold CD version on DCC is certainly the best sounding version available.
99% of people are a$$holes.
Seldom-known fact: CDs also decay in quality.
I liked the Eagles.
I’ve heard people say that since the early ‘90s. I know that some of the early CDs were made with a different process, which degraded over time. But I have many CDs that are over 30 years old which sound identical to the day I bought them, at least to my aging ears.
Actually, CDRs at the pro-level have a life expectancy of many, many decades.
It all depends on the chemical formulation and the protective layer - i.e. gold or diamond.
Of course, cheaply or poorly made CD/CDRs are another matter...
I have hundreds & hundreds of CDs and CDRs and have ZERO failure rate including CDRs burned direct from the studio master tapes.
So your taste in music isn’t any better than your taste in women?
“It’s a concert. People dance,” one woman shouted.
Usually shouted by someone whose “dancing” seems to have no connection to the music or beat.
Dangus that’s not fair to any of those bands
There were basically two Eagles versions
And Three Macs
I prefer the middle Mac honestly
And earlier Eagles
But they all had their place
I only know one nickleback song
