Surprise, surprise...

Quote
Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster
Than it did in the old days
So naturally, we have more natural disasters
From the strain of a fast pace
Sunday was a day of rest
Now, it's one more day for progress
And we can't slow down ?cause more is best
It's all an endless process

[Chorus]
(Well) I miss Mayberry
Sitting on the porch drinking ice-cold cherry Coke
Where everything is black and white
Picking on a six string
Where people pass by and you call them by their first name
Watching the clouds roll by
Bye, bye

Sometimes I can hear this old earth shouting
Through the trees as the wind blows
That's when I climb up here on this mountain
To look through God's window
Now I can't fly
But I got two feet that get me high up here
Above the noise and city streets
My worries disappear

[Chorus]

Sometimes I dream I'm driving down an old dirt road
Not even listed on a map
I pass a dad and son carrying a fishing pole
But I always wake up every time I try to turn back

[Chorus]

Was a hit in the 2000s, #1 on this day in fact. In the '90s, I was in a city, in the suburbs, I saw a little boy, 9-ish probably, walking his dog in a green grassy field and I thought to myself, that's the way America should be.  The above has a good message, rhythm-wise, I'm a bit more indifferent but... this song captures a bit of the same ethos and I thought it is generally good all the way around.

Song written by Mac McAnnally, I thought I heard a version where the state mentioned was actually Mississippi; so I may have heard a different rendition.

Apparently, some want us to play newer music, so:

Elton John: MTV Era Produced Many Untalented Musicians

May 22, 2017 | 07:03AM PT

Elton John told an audience at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday that the MTV generation had promoted many musicians who didn’t deserve the attention, but he also paid tribute to the positive role that music videos have played in the music business.

Tucker must be glad that he wrote it (under his real name Robert Higgenbotham)!

Also on today's date:

* Bob Dylan is bar mitzvahed, 1954.
* In 1959, Ornette Coleman records "Lonely Woman" and "Congeniality," two key selections on his groundbreaking
The Shape of Jazz to Come
* Bruce Springsteen cuts his first record, in 1966, as a member of the Castiles, the unreleased "That's What You Get."
* Count Basie issues one of his extremely few recordings in a trio format, For the First Time.
* Thirty-three years after cutting that unissued Castiles record, Springsteen and the E Street Band sell out a 15-concert
stand at New Jersey's Continental Airlines Arena.

(no birthdays here, the music seems a bit apropos if acceptable. )

Birthdays, Bumps Bagwell, I've come across this name a few times. Quite an illustrious history,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Blackwell  , certainly a number of other notables as well as not to shortchange anyone.

Rock bands from Manchester or the general area, off the top of my head, I know they are:

Also, the Herman's Hermits and Davey Jones as well. I'm sure many other known names are.

This blues bandleader hailed from Manchester . . .

Morrissey's statement is interesting...

At least he'll say "Islamic".

Thanks for the Morrisey note Suppressed.



On a related note, Clapton I believe ran into some controversy with some support for the ideas of Enoch Powell. I'm not going to get into specifics because I don't know much about the situation, it refers to it in his wiki bio for those curious: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton (in all fairness, that might have been about different immigrants back then too, at least in part).


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ6EUiY_w0g



Anyway, apparently the BeeGees spent some time in Manchester, so I always thought they were just an Australian group but here, wikipedia lists groups from there, Oasis is a famous one obviously.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_artists_and_bands_from_Manchester

It really shows how many bands and musicians we don't know about, I know a few of the other names.

Oh, and 10CC are on the list,  I believe they are from Stockport actually but it is in the area.

Images above from biased BBC, a swift little conservative website I have cited before, they are a bit of a watchdog on the tax payer (or citizen) funded BBC.

Dylan, Patti LaBelle, RoseAnne Cash. I still think it's hard to find studio takes of Bob Dylan's original albums on youtube. Lawyers may have gotten involved and it could be Columbia lawyers, not Dylan's himself.

Gene Clark passed away as well, like Elmore James, too young.  Clark was in the Byrds.

Prince Buster of Reggae fame was born today; I've listened to plenty of reggae but this is switching gears too much for one post.

Birthdays:

Prince Buster (I have this 45)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVKVB_8hwqk

It couldn't be a take-off on this one which I like much better...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6Eu43RoaGQ

Patti LaBelle


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ZDsNy-wtw

This next one is listed as by [Patti LaBelle &] The Bluebelles, but it actually was recorded by The Starlets (similar to The Crystals being listed as the artists for He's A Rebel and He's Sure The Boy I Love which was actually recorded by Darlene Love & The Blossoms...)
