Radiohead flipped off the Boycott Israel (BDS) bullies out there. Well done.

Arguably the three best of the Raspberries' they-really-did-deserve-better career . . .

1) Paul McCartney once said he wanted to write a song as good as the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice."
The Raspberries' chief songwriter/singer Eric Carmen damn near did:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sts6hJwRk0Y

2) How ironic is it that the absolute best rock and roll song ever written about a kid who'd love nothing
more to have a smash hit when he grows up was written and sung (and, by his fellow Raspberries, played
like monsters) by a kid who'd already had two monster hits and one near-hit:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqdiSN8aVIg

3) Maybe Lake Erie isn't the Pacific Ocean, but Eric Carmen didn't let that stop him and his guys from
beating the Beach Boys at their own early game:

Ok. Some of my favorites here. Quarterflash. For the vocals and the sax.

The break up song by Greg Kiln. Oh yes, please. They don't write them like that anymore.

Go all the way, oh fun bubblegum pop.

I have these on my iPod
G-d bless America. G-d bless us all                                 

Adopt a puppy or kitty from your local shelter
Or an older dog or cat. They're true love❤️

All music and everyone is welcome.

Well, it's Richie Sambora's birthday, the guitarist for Bon Jovi; but it looks like some of the better videos of Bon Jovi are not at youtube.  Again, I think there are at times, legal reasons for such. I was going to post "living on a prayer."

The  other website is back! I know also that I posted just two artists in the opening post, so let's try to get a bit more out here.
http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/born_today
http://www.onthisday.com/music/birthdays.php

Birthday related songs.


Quote
1947, Born on this day, John Holt, reggae singer and songwriter who first found fame as a member of the Paragons, before establishing himself as a solo artist. Holt penned 'The Tide Is High' made famous by Blondie. He died on 20th October 2014.

Thurston Harris:

Wikipedia entry and I do know, these don't always work when posted, so if that happens, find the info for oneself!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurston_Harris

He was in the Sharps:
Quote
The Sharps would go on to another name change to become The Rivingtons, achieving fame with the single "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow".
That is a fun little song, good video of them singing it on the Steve Allen show as well:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQrQjNNZCAo

Jeff Hana of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, this song was written by Jerry Jeff Walker:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-LVXR6rjXs
Even Sammy Davis Jr. has a version of this song.

Bonnie Pointer of the Pointer Sisters:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MroQ5Y6-IM

Lil' Kim, rapper. I have no idea of the suitability of the lyrics, so I will leave it there but a popular recording artist nonetheless.

A birthday boy today: Billy Davis, songwriter (not to be confused with the 5th Dimension member who eventually married
that group's Marilyn McCoo), tapped to join Roger Cook in writing this jingle . . .

. . . made into this hit . . .


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koBiXquzmr8

What's the movie with John Candy and Steve Martin? Trains Planes and Automobiles, well, they had this one in it. Or was it uncle Buck, both great movies.

Trivia: Song became known because wrestling in the UK used this as the theme song for their tv show. Look it up.

Fine version of "Wild Weekend", someone in the day came up with some instrumental. Words to it? Maybe I've seen that too.
