    The only people who got those haircuts were in trendy bars or Adam Sandler movies about the 80's. I am talking sheer volume. Growing up in the eighties, you could walk into a computer programing class and the entire third row looked like Roland Orzabal.

    If somebody asked me who i think is the most effective American artist in the last century or so, I might pick Randy Newman. Nobody bites harder with satire, or juxtaposed ideologies or exaggerated parodies of our prejudices. Doesn't matter what the subject matter is either: nuclear war, slavery, class warfare, the political leanings below the Mason-Dixon line. He rubs our noses in our own shit because we are all suspect.

    Maybe it's fitting he works for Disney now. :biglaugh:

    This is one of my favorite songs of his. An absolutely haunting number about a murderer from Dussledorf that the Nazi's executed. Happy Halloween, kiddies.

    People should be forced to listen to Lucinda Willims if they start to take life to seriously.

    Beethoven - Symphony no. 9, fourth movement, the chorale (Arturo Toscanini conducts the NBC orchestra in 1952)
    I used to listen to this record when I was in high school.
    The chorale words are taken from Schiller's religious Ode to Joy which I had at one time memorized. I now only remember a little bit at the start.
    Enjoy

    All men will be brothers, ...

    I have to admit I never liked Bryan Adams classic pop/jingo-istic rock. It was better musically than Bon Jovi though. And I always thought this ode to young love/lust was his greatest song. It could have easily fit onto the Boss's catalog around the time he did Born In The USA. Which is about as good a compliment as you can give any songwriter!

    Check out my avatar. Rory Gallagher my favorite all time guitar player. I have every album, every concert film, every transcription book or piece of memorabilia. I am a Rory Gallagher fanatic. There is a book coming out about him BTW that should be available soon for purchase online.

    One of Rory's great lost songs. Didn't get released till after he died because the lyrics were too personal.

    Sorry, I'm just not a fan of Jerry Reed.
