Want to talk "old"? (Everything being relative and so many relatives with birthdays recently, and others too).

This just popped up on my quietly behaving tab which had been playing "Satisfaction". (Sorry, it's YouTube) Can't always get what you want and. all that.... So I was doing something else and suddenly the paused player from another plane started playing this!
Like the scene in Pulp Fiction, it caught my attention! "Oh, did I distract you?" I'm told it's the weekend; enjoy! A golden oldie.

Spill the Wine

Happy first weekend of Autumn 2022

Speaking of milestones, Led Zep, things ...

Happy Birthday, Robert Plant! 20 August 2022

And I can't say what came next, but the YT gods served up this smoker from a few weeks back, same crew... familiar song, almost a Bonny Raitt treatment, but with Alison Krauss, same tour, but a few weeks earlier in New Yawk, New York!

🎶 (A bit of monkeying around)

Monkeying around

From far down a thread about a truck accident involving monkeys and a few escapees...
Here's one I've not heard in a long while from the Kinks (lyrics on screen):

Ape Man

Of course the topic of monkeys/Monkees comes up from time to time.
I'm partial to the smaller of the species too (via the Rolling Stones):

Monkey Man

And lastly, in this barrel of monkey fun.... another great one, from The Traveling Wilburys:

Tweeter and The Monkey Man

New Jethro Tull!
🎶 🔥

Jethro Tull - The Zealot Gene (Official Video)

Great song (as usual) and cool video, very modern for Tull (Anderson as a cartoon taking a selfie, etc.)

With gasoline...

~~

"The Zealot Gene"

Half of us are in the apple
Half of us are in the pie
All of us are in the pudding
When the last bus has gone by
Someone has to take the high road
Someone has to make the bed
No-one has the right to tell you
To lie down when all is said

The black and white, the stereotype
The polarising pitch at play
While some of us sit in between
Interminable shades of grey
No need to walk the tightrope
Set out on that great divide
The balance scales may tremble
But the featherweights are on our side

Carrying the Zealot gene
Right or left, no in between
Beware, beware the Zealot gene
Naked flame near gasoline

The populist with dark appeal
The pandering to hate
Which xenophobic scaremongers
Deliver on a plate
To tame the pangs of hunger
And satisfy the lust
Slave to ideology
Moderation bites the dust

Bee buzzing in your bonnet
And a wasp right up the bum
A V-8 under hood
A cocked hammer under thumb
Ear-splitting twitter thunder
And a screaming banshee wail
You got too many opinions
And a tom cat by the tail

Carrying the Zealot gene
Right or left, no in between
Beware, beware the Zealot gene
Naked flame near gasoline

Carrying the Zealot gene
Right or left, no in between
Beware, beware the Zealot gene
Naked flame near gasoline

Half of us are in the apple
Half of us are in the pie
All of us are in the pudding
When the last bus has gone by
Someone has to take the high road
Someone has to make the bed
No-one has the right to tell you
To lie down when all is said

The black and white, the stereotype
The polarising pitch at play
While some of us sit in between
Interminable shades of grey
No need to walk the tightrope
Set out on that great divide
The balance scales may tremble
But the featherweights are on our side

Carrying the Zealot gene
Right or left, no in between
Beware, beware the Zealot gene
Naked flame near gasoline

Because I'm hearing it suddenly (in NYC) ... the wind is howling, Mary... Screaming!

Jimi Hendrix: The Wind Cries Mary

Lyrics
After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers, "Mary"

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere, a queen is weeping
Somewhere, a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries, "Mary"

The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life that lived is dead
And the wind screams, "Mary"

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last"
And the wind cries, "Mary"

One minute of Ringo/drum history. Shared actually in a post I saw about how to use TikTok effectively. Cute little bit.
Especially for drummers and/or those familiar with The Beatles. (Will we need to ask soon?) 🥁 🎶

Happy Birthday, Grace Slick!

Perhaps a reason for coming across some of her more obscure but fascinating performances the past few days. 82 years of being. Wow.

🎂

Remember what the dormouse said.🎶 #GraceSlick #Birthday #RockLegend #music

Rock 'n' Roll!

Coming from a discussion on the longevity, influence, and changeability of Lou Reed, beginning with a look at a early days, such as described in a BBC article, including "Heroin" "Walk on the Wild Side", and other folk-rock-poetry anthems.

And still being emulated, reworked and performed today, like pointedly more mellow cover from Andrew Bird, released today.

So my bottom line is that what most stuck in my head for the longest time during my music-biz days - from Lou Reed - was this, Rock & Roll. It just struck me that I think I was at the concert where this was recorded. Checking the description, oh yes: I was there for this.
Great sound recording, acoustics, and performance. What blew me away most (live and then later with good speakers or phones) -
Around 4:40 in it tones down the rock rhythms and does this thing "like flanging" with the guitar and scrapes away back to rock. Hm.
