I got so many different versions of Zepplin tunes that it is actually now refreshing to hear the studio version. Then for example I got Elton John - Madman Across The Water, but I also have it from some rare ass album or something which is only the band with no orchestra or crowd. It is awesome.

Diffarent versions of things are another thing. Like Gary Wright - Dream Weaver. I got the new and the old, they are quite different. Same with Kenny Rogers - The Gambler, there is a big difference between the old one and the new one.

I'll send you all my Zepplin, probably two CDRs worth with some space left. I'm not using it, really. I got Zepplined out decades ago tripping and ataying high as a kite. Practically immobile, so much so I did not even drink ! Now that's fucking high !

And if anyone wonders why I am willing to just send CDRs full oif MP3s to people at my own expense, I will only answer in a mail, not out here. But I will. I just gave away a 35GB collection today, but it was in a HD and I went over the guy's house and put it in. Suffice it for now to say that for me, art transcends law.

GT you forgot the warning !

To play Get Down Make Love properly requires a stereo of approximately 400 watts output power. Any less and you are just getting a sample, or blowing speakers out.

SOrry, Termy.... I did forget... but I am cursed with mere store bought computer speakers (although, unlike my last set, this set actually has a woofer)

OK GT, I have collected a crack team of audiologists, a 170WPC amp and two 210W subs. I've also included a HD with 130GB of media on it. The truck is equipped with four wheel drive (WOO BTO) , amphibious capability and if we ever get those damn crystals, warp speed travel. The only thing we lack is your address.

If you were older you would get one of those things around your neck. You push the button and say "I'm quiet and I can't get loud" and the 911 system will forward the information to us. Shortly thereater you will have enough sound in the house to go to jail for. Trust me I know.

Morally I just can't let one such as thee go through life without a stereo that kills most flying insects.

GreedyTop,
Thanks for the link to the Ed Sullivan Show! Wow! And I so loved Ode to Billy Joe. I loved her voice and that eerie melody. There's been a lot of speculation on the meaning of this song. Gentry insisted that she made it up, but judging from the expression on her face in that video, I think she's actually recounting an event from her life that was very sad. I think that there is some reason that she doesn't want to tell anyone the true nature of the song. This page gives several possible theories.

Thank you for the Stairway to Heaven, too! Also, I used to dance to Killer Queen when I worked at BabyDolls.

Termyn8tor,

Thank you so much for your kind offer. Hmmmmm.... What do I want?

DS, if you like that you might like a bit of old Hank Williams, I mean the first. If you ever saw the movie made about his life, DAMN. That movie actually moved me to stop drinkling excessively. He had a very sad life, he screwed it all up.

It didn't really go that far, but Bocephus (Hank williams JR) and Watash (Waylon Jennings) got together and did The Conversation.

All this makes me want to crank it up right now, but it is three in the morning.

I think I did see that movie, but it was so long ago, I think I'm going to have to see it again.

What songs did you like from this era? I loved these songs and my first experiences with boys took place with this soundtrack. What were you listening to when you were first discovering the opposite sex?

Hmm. I first started to discover the opposite sex in the mid 80s (though the opposite sex never really let me do much more than notice it a couple of summers later, just before high school) when I had a precocious interest in The Smiths, OMD, Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears, XTC, Cab Voltaire.....hmm....considering what I was listening to back then it's sort of surprising it was the opposite sex that interested me so much.

That movie is burnt into my mind. It moved me, which is very very rare. I have watched Men die and Women cry, but that took the cake. He had so much going for him and just burnt it all up in the bottle.

No jail or rehab coud've ever done for me what that movie did. I was wild, and I mean wild with a bunch of lawyers guns and money. I am damn lucky I didn't kill anyone. I played with those guns, and when trouble showed up, I just reaxched into my pocket. I see now how wrong this was, and that movie was part of the start for me to change in that way.

Hank's olady loved him until the day she died, but once she put him out that was it and she stuck by her word. My family and I are the same way. You get X amount of chances, but once you hear the wors "you are out", you don't know juat how out you are,,,,,, yet. I got a ex buddy who screwed me out of ten bucks almost twenty years ago. Now he has some money via inheritance but needs a place to stay. I have an apartment for rent. That was the most expensive ten bucks he ever epent - of mine.

That was her attitude, there have been enough second chances. Fuck it. And she still loved him.

I have a piece of Hank's called Thirty Pieces Of Silver. Your's for the asking. I don't think it ever hit vinyl, and was probably unreleased. For a real fan this is total gold, despite the poor quality of the recording.

Another one that's really good is :

David Allen Coe - The Ride

OK, so much for the hillbillies. How about Rush. I don't remember the name of the album but I do have it on AFM videotape (beta)

100 100 100 SOS
100 100 100 in distress
Unit one's in troble and it's scared out of it's wits.

And there's no swimming in the heavy water, and no singing in the acid rain.

Does anyone know what album that was ? My choices are to download it with the push of a button, or go down in the basement and dig out the beta machine, the hifi processor and hope I can find a remote to run it. I need the name of the album because when I search just for "Rush" it comes up with millions of results that I don't want.

I'm pretty sure that's from The Body Electric, a track on Rush's album Grace Under Pressure.

I have no idea what album that was. I was never really a big Rush fan, other than Permanent Waves. I liked that one and 2112.

I LOVED Queen. My younger brothers were so obsessed with them, their entire bedroom was covered floor to ceiling with posters. They would blast it all day and night, I used to hate them until my brother said, you would like Killer Queen, just give them a chance.
Then I sat down and listened and then became a fan too.

Strangely, that ended up my favorite of theirs and I realized years later that I identified with the chick in the song. :)

Wow, you are bringing up some great memories...I was crazy about Heart. I was in a band in college and I swear, I tried to channel Ann Wilson and Stevie Nicks everytime I sang.

Killer Queen is my favorite song by them, also. I totally identify with the "chick" in that song. I'm a drag queen trapped in a woman's body.
