CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:cant say the same for Sting as a solo artist though...went off him after his second solo album, hbe's now just a boring pretentious old fart,hmm,who else reminds me of that, oh yeh Bono!We are absolutely on the same page on this. Love to see either or both truly humbled--neither deserves the adulation approaching reverence they get.

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:it reminds me....was this the first massacre at a US educational establishment?May have been the first at a college/university but not the only--11 days later a similar event went down at Jackson State (not remembered as well because Jackson State was an historically Black institution?). Both of these were 2 years after a similar incident in a civilian context in Orangeburg, SC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_State_killings and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orangeburg_massacre
BTW much as I dislike him, Pres. Nixon did do some positive significant things: opened up China to the West, and got such as the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts passed, setting up the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:back to Hendrix....Folks can show their Hendrix love this way (that's Jimi, not Nona): http://blog.altpick.com/2014/04/02/rudy-gutierrez-illustrates-us-postage-stamp-music-legend-jimi-hendrix/
im not a huge fan of Hendrix by any means but i own a compilation of his material, i posted it a fair while ago and "the wind cries mary" was my favourite on there, so "***" from me, great track IMO

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:the only word to describe "unchained melody" is........"classic!" "***"About the Righteous Brothers: Call me an old poofter if you will but that searing, soaring pure falsetto brings tears every time and I have no shame in admitting it. There's a good live DVD available new for <$10: http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-on-the-sunset-strip-mw0001448153 << 16 cuts of pure heaven
Whatever kind of bunghole Phil Spector was, we're forever in his debt for his work with the Bros.

Music Head Wrote:#373 - Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited - 1965As this clip from '07 shows, Johnny Winter just flat owns this tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNW0pioGSFU << from a superb series sponsored by Eric Clapton--must-haves for guitar aficionados and big fun for everybody else--Crossroads Guitar Festivals
Highway 61 Covered by Johnny Winter in 1969 minus the whistle and it's much better.

Music Head Wrote:#367 - Martha And The Vandellas - Nowhere To Run - 1965Imagine a world in which the US had honored its UN commitment to free colonial peoples. Moderate leaders (Ho Chi Minh in this case) probably would have come to rule their countries and the world would have avoided the unimaginable horror and blood-shed that ensued. BTW please explain how Martha Reeves could have had a hit before she was in the music biz. The mind boggles...
running recap for me - 3's=73, 2's=51, 1's=10
this one - ***
from the album: Dance Party
Written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland
Produced by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier
Chart action: #8 US, #26 UK
the players:
Martha Reeves - lead vocal
Rosalind Ashford - backing vocals
Betty Kelly - backing vocals
Funk Brothers - the music
Mary Wells missed a session date and Martha Reeves filled in. A Star is born. This wasn't the
first hit but that's how she broke in to the music biz. This one is from the girls third album.
Much used for sporting events and a troop favorite in the Vietnam war. On the US side I would
think. Actually the commies had all kinds of places to hide. I think we lost.
