Progtastic !!

Ridiculous instrumental sections, plus some woeful lyrics add up to quite a good record, actually.

At times cacophonous, but at other times, very beautiful...

My son just finished watching an Eric Clapton show and is now watching a Fleetwood Mac documentary - so Eric Clapton and Fleetwood Mac, I suppose

- whatever happened to my little punk boy!

(Fleetwood Mac are great though)

I'm in the middle of transferring VHS tapes to DVD and then passing the old tapes onto a mate and the one that is in the copy machine at the present is an episode of the old 'Southbank Show' with Melvyn Bragg about Eric Clapton from around 1987 from memory! :tongue:

Bob Dylan - Knocked Out Loaded - 1986

[Image: d81009hbjh7.jpg]

Release #22 by my count. Although not at the top of his game by now, the inclusion of Brownsville Girl is worth the price of admission. Awesome song for me. The only other top notch, penned by Kristofferson, They Killed Him is a very moving tribute to Ghandi, MLK and JC. A couple of clunkers on here, but it's Dylan, I let it pass. Album only reached #54, but the legend continues. The chosen single of Got My Mind Made Up was a dud.

I like this album.

Favorite Track - Brownsville Girl

Well there was this movie I seen one time
About a man riding across the desert and starred Gregory Peck
He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself
The town's people wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck.

Well the Marshall now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp
As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath
Turn him loose let him go let him say he outdrew me fair and square
I want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death.

Well I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in
And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain
You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart
The memory of you keeps calling after me like a rolling train.

I can still see the day that you came to me on the pinked desert
In your busted down Ford and your platform heels
I could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet
Ah, but you were right it was perfect as I got in behind the wheel.

Well we drove that car all night 'til we got into San Anton'
And we slept near the Alamo your skin was so tender and soft
Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back
I would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blow off.

Well we're driving this car and the sun is coming up over the Rockies
Now I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul
But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember the times
when I was your only man
And she don't want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control.

Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world.
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.Well we crossed the panthandle and then we headed towards Amarillo
We pulled up where Henry Porter used to live. He owned a wrecking lot outside of
town about a mile
Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes she had her red hair tied back. She saw us
come rolling up in a trail of dust
She said "Henry ain't here but you can come on in he'll be back in a little while".

Then she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinking of bumming
a ride back to where she started
But she changed the subject every time money came up
She said "Welcome to the land of the living dead". You could tell she was
so broken-hearted
She said "Even the swap meets around here are pretty corrupt".

"How far are you all going ?" Ruby asked us with a sigh
"We're going all the way until the wheels fall off and burn
Until the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies"
Ruby just smiled and said. "Ah you know some babies never learn".

Something about that movie though well I just can't get it out of my head
But I can't remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play
All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved
And a lot of them seemed to be looking my way.

Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world.
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.

Well they were looking for somebody with a pompadour
I was crossing the street when shots rang out
I didn't know whether to duck or to run so I ran
We got him cornered in the churchyard ? I heard somebody shout.

Well you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune. Underneath it it said:
"A man with no alibi"
You went out on a limb to testify for me you said I was with you
Then when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears
It was the best acting I saw anybody do.

Now I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trepass but sometimes
you just find yourself over the line
Oh if there's an original thought out there I could use it right now
You now I feel pretty good but that ain't saying much I could feel a whole lot better
If you were just here by my side to show me how.
Well I'm standing in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck
Yeh but you know it's not the one I had in mind
He's got a new one out now I don't even know what it's about
But I'll se him in anything so I'll stand in line.

Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.

You know it's funny how things never turn out the way you had them planned
The only things we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name
wasn't Henry Porter
And you know there was something about you baby that I liked that was always too
good for this world
Just like you always said there was something about me you liked that I left behind
in the French Quarter.

Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who
are most content
I don't have any regrets they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone
You always said people don't do what they believe in they just do what's most
convenient then they repent
And I always said. "Hang on to me baby and let's hope that the roof stays on".

There was a movie I seen one time I think I sat through it twice
I don't remember who I was or where I was bound
All I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck he wore a gun and he was shot
in the back
Seems like a long time ago long before the stars were torn down.

Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.

Eagles - The Long Run - 1979

[Image: d77217386o7.jpg]

How do you follow up an awesome album like Hotel California? This doesn't even come close. That's what happens when you create a monster. This is their sixth album, which still sold huge, but I would think a lot of that was based on the previous effort. I know that's why I bought it. Not that this album is bad. It's holds up, although my top tracks were not promoted. The bad tracks are really bad. The album reached #1 with 3 top 10 singles. Schmit getting the lead vocal on I Can't Tell You Why was pretty cool, and the strings were awesome. Good thing there were no clips for the horrendous Disco Strangler and that Greeks thing. And I never thought Joe Walsh was a match for The Eagles.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Favorite Track - The Sad Cafe

Out in the shiny night the rain was softly falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard had all been washed away
Out of the silver light the past came softly calling
And I remember the times we spent inside the Sad Cafe

Oh it seemed like a holy place protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud the things we could not say
We thought we could change this world with words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd inside the Sad Cafe

Oh, expecting to fly, we would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by
Some of their dreams came true, some just passed away
And some of them stayed behind inside the Sad Cafe.

The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by, and wonder at the powers that be.
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and let's the rest go free

Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly, if they ever change at all
There's no use in asking why, it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby inside the Sad Cafe.

Why don't you meet me at midnight baby, inside the Sad Cafe

^ It's amazing how the loss of some members can make such a difference to how two consecutive albums sound. Plus I suppose they were consuming even more substances...
