Starship Trooper....

Me too ...one of many great songs on The Yes Album. Steve Howe's solo acoustic guitar song "The Clap" (which I've yet to be able to figure out by ear) is also tremendous, as is the opening cut "Yours is no Disgrace."

...Also a great Heinlein book, Starship Troopers was.

I even liked the movie....even though the critics thought it was like something by Hitler's lady director.

Denise Richards looked fetching in that uniform...lol


I always remember Stairship Trooper from a particular evening at around age 17 totally "altered state' sort of thing driving over the old Mississippi River Bridge at Vicksburg on old US 80..in an orange Delta 88 convertible...it felt like we were gonna astrally project when that long spacewalk crescendo guitar lead took off...high up on that bridge, wind in yer hair (lots of hair then) and all the stars....

....sorry...bad description...guess you had to be there...but you get my drift.

I have special moments of all the big songs throughout my life where I can recall them specifically at a certain time and place...and not all involve drugs or sex....thankfully.
