(I think Rod was hopping on her back when she looked this good).

I think that video was conceived, written, and filmed by the guy in the swimming pool.
Maybe after seeing Fast Times at Ridgemont High...?
Judge Reinhold was great in that movie...
I don't listen to Rickie Lee, but when I do............
If you don't listen to Rickie Lee, how do you do?
How am I? Or how to I listen without listening?
Let me clarify.
If you don't listen to Rickie Lee, how do you listen to Rickie Lee?
It's a take-off on that old(-ish) commercial.

Dos Equis: The Most Interesting Man In The World (Spring 2010)
As semi-officially the *second*-most interesting man in the world (after MrBuck, of course), I'm allowed to riff on such...... I figured you'd get that.
Ah, a riff! Of course.
My mind was elsewhere, trying to figure out TT's real elo.
I think you know that square roots of negative numbers are imaginary numbers - if that helps any.
a few minutes in i was wondering why i kept thinking of zappa, was it the quality of the musicians, the montreaux connection, or what. wait, that's not george duke is it? 22 minutes long, but exceptional.

On April 4, Tracy Chapman reissued the vinyl edition of her original self titled album, perfect timing for Record Store Day 2025 on April 12.
She was recently interviewed by multiple media outlets, including an excellent piece by the NY Times. (I'll let you find one of your own choosing.)
An easily accessible interview popped up on Yahoo, a re-heat from Consequence. In that interview, she advocates not streaming music but only buying the physical media. Her logic is that tape and record purchases more directly benefit the artists. Her music is available on the streaming platforms, and I already have a copy of her album. If she tours, I'll buy another.

SO WEIRD that you posted that. Not 3-4 days ago I was thinking of posting some Thin Lizzy on this thread. One of the most underrated bands of that era. Unfortunately, I never got to see them. [Careful observers, I'm sure, can pick out dede and roo in the crowd.] "Jailbreak" isn't bad, but I always preferred a few others. Their albums pretty much rock. Some serious ax wielding. Here they are in Sydney:
Thin Lizzy - Cowboy Song (★ HD, ★ Better Quality) - Live @ Sydney Opera House - 1978
And here's another of their offerings, a reworking of the old Irish standard:
Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar (Official Music Video) - YouTube
(Get your dirty Annhuser-Busch paws off!)
I think the album cover featured a toddler joyfully riding a red baby dragon.
But ain't no way that can be considered "old music". Just sayin'.
Danny Elfman has made tons and tons of good music.
Likely repost, whatever...wasted photons/electrons, if that makes any sense...
Jefferson Starship's hit "We Built This City" is now in a jingle for bathroom tissue.
..JAILBREAK! Jam it.
...and go to 1080 res....

Listening makes me think of Springsteen and his band, but this is smoother, and edgier...
BrewCrew , Have you tried out The Warning yet ? Fantastic band from Montaray Mexico .
(I'll check it out, Mike...)
But for now:
Pubescent viewers take caution: invigorating enjoyment!
The KebMo/Taj Mahal concert just happened. It was a gorgeous venue set in a forest next to a lake.
The opener was Abraham Alexander, a talented guitarist (with a very elegant guitar!) and song writer of note (Oscar nominated).
While waiting in the beer line, I was chatting with a couple, and their last Taj concert was in 1985. (They saw him more recently than I.)
Keb Mo was fit, looks great, and sounds great. Taj is definitely showing his age. He still has a strong voice, but he can barely get around, and the mic for his instruments were always turned way down. I give Taj all the props for singing into a live mic and not pretending to still have his gifts on his instruments. I enjoyed the show, but it was a reminder of why I shy away from "geezer" concerts.
Invigorating!
I wondered where these two dancers got their moves: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=X7HXlCY_387DhKZo
A Turkish song with English lyrics: No No No
The original (much better, easily one of my top-5 favorite songs) is: here
Ferdy Klein was a German arranger and conductor who worked with many Turkish artists, including Cem Karaca. Karaca's powerful, dramatic, and often theatrical vocal style lends itself perfectly to the narrative and emotional intensity of a rock opera. It showcases the ambitious musical experimentation that characterized much of Cem Karaca.
I could look this up but I'll just ask it here because maybe among some who use this thread it's way old common knowledge, but: Did The Rolling Stones name their band after Dylan sang about it? Or is it just something sort of ubiquitous enough to not at all be sort of infringing?
Also ungoogled.......I believe it *was* named after Dylan's lyrics. I've known that answer definitively multiple times in the past.....but can't 100% affirm at the moment. So I think it *is* common knowledge en toto.
How about asking Chat-GPT?
Here's the actual origin of their name:
The Rolling Stones took their name from a Muddy Waters song called "Rollin' Stone." When founding member Brian Jones was on the phone with Jazz News in 1962 trying to place an ad for the new band, he was asked what the band was called. He saw a Muddy Waters LP on the floor and took the name from one of its tracks, “Rollin’ Stone.”
As for Bob Dylan, he did later release a famous song titled "Like a Rolling Stone" in 1965 — but that came after the band was already formed and named. So if anything, it's the other way around in terms of public associations, though Dylan’s song is not directly about the band.
