You could do a lot worse than being a Tull fan, that's for sure.

I'm not going to call madonna anything other than an overrated strangled cat.

[Supernatural]

"In the shuffling madness"...

[pissant]

I need to see them live again!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Have you heard Divinities? His flute playing is just incredible. One of my favorites is the live album "A little light music", the rendition of Rocks on the Road is riveting and the 5 mile acoustic intro by Martin on Too Old to Rock and Roll would shame many guitar players that people think of as great.

[pissant]

I agree. ANd when the mood is right, just like Pink Floyd, I catch glimpses of how good they really were.

[pissant]

And the all time winner, has got him by the balls

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I've seen them 4 times live...my favorite show was the Stormwatch tour in 79. Flying Dutchman live was quite a treat.

[pissant]

Goodnight ya'll.

Good chattin.

I am going to try to name songs WITHOUT doing a lookup:

The Four Lads (?)
The Crew Cuts (?)
The Ames Brothers (? I think Ragg Mopp?)
Tommy James and the Shondells (Grazin in the Grass)
Jimmy Beaumont and The Skyliners
The Tokens (The Lion sleeps tonight)
Bill Haley and the Comets (Rock around the clock)
The Vogues
The Jaggerz

[A CA Guy]

When young and kind of puffy with baby fat she had this cute young but slutty look.
Her youth and cuteness left 20+ years ago, her music is no longer in vogue and has to use a spatula on her face to apply makeup despite surgery.

She's a goddess in Japan, but big deal, so is Tom Cruise.

She could sing pop well though.
Or I guess you would say dance music.

That song is absolutely stunning...I have many awesome live versions of it. Drop me a Freepmail and I'll send you my favorite Live Bob cd-
Gothenberg 2001
This is the best Dylan bootleg I have ever heard and I have about 700! Sound quality, performance...this is the Best!

The Jaggerz

Donny Iris!

[Supernatural]

Ian Anderson is the best flute player rock has ever seen. Maybe the best flute player of all time.

End of story.

[freedumb2003]

"Donny Iris!"

Wow! :)

[scott says]

The Gothenberg 2001 has Its Alright,Ma...
Visions of Johanna on this cd is awesome...
The same guy recorded both, unbelievable field recordings, the best that I have ever heard,
Bergen2001

[Scott from the Left Coast]

He is indeed...he's also one of the greatest songwriters of all time. In this era probably only Dylan is a greater songwriter. As a performer, Anderson is one of the best you'll ever find. It's quite a combination.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I have only seen Dylan in concert once, 1977, and he did not play Visions in that concert. What is incredible about that song is intense melancholy combined with those haunting (literally, I guess) lyrics. It just stands out for the mood it creates...a tone poem (sic). The same mood was picked up some years later in Blood on the Tracks, which might be as great an album as was created in an awesome era for music.

[Supernatural]

Donny Iris from the Pittsburgh area and the Vogues from Turtle Creek, PA...where my ex is from! LOL
