Let's see how out of touch you are, give me some history of this:

Back in 35 when times were hard
I carried a sawed off shotgun and a marked deck of cards
Diamond cuff links as they came
A 12 inch blade and a bebop chain

I went to my love, one winters night
And she said Stagger Lee your love ain't right
So I went to vampire street where all the bad mother fuckers meet
Through 2 inches of mud, and 4 inches of crud
I came to this place called the bucket of blood

I hollered at the bartender and said bring me something to eat
He brought me a fucked up glass of water and a stale piece of meat
I said hey mother fucker, maybe you don't know who I am
He said, frankly mother fucker I don't give a damn

He started to bitch, but he bitched no more
For I pulled out my rod and dropped him dead to the floor
2 to the gut, 4 to the head, I laid that mother fucker out cold and dead

She came down the staircase and said bartender please
I said, shut up bitch, his minds at ease.
She said, Stagger Lee it's half past 8, why don't you come up stairs and I'll set you strait
We went up stairs, she stripped off her clothes
She stood there naked from her head to her toes
To show that bitch I was a man, I fucker her on the floor and I fucked her on the Di-Van
I fucked that bitch til she could hardly stand

It got so quiet you could hear a pin drop
When Billy Lions walked through the door and said
Where's that bad mother fucker at that wants to kill me
I said, right behind you mother fucker and the name is Stagger Lee
He started to bitch but he bitched no more
For I pulled out my rod and dropped him dead to the floor
2 to the gut 4 to the head, I laid that mother fucker out cold and dead

I woke up the next morning in the Pen
Facing the judge and the jury men
The judge said, Stagger Lee your charged with rape and murder in the 1st degree
I said, Hey mother fucker, you don't scare me
He said, son I'm going to give you some time
I said, 10's no time, 20's no time
I've got a grandma in singsing pulling 99
And when I die and go to hell
I'll kick the devil right in his tail
I'll lay his pitchfork upon MY shelf
And run the fucken show, all by myself

Exiled

I have a 19 yr old niece on Facebook. We listen to a lot of the same stuff already. As long as she doesn't follow my sister and start listening to Yanni it's all good.

I like a few things from the "modern" era, Boy bands are not any of them. And considering the Entertainment news rarely goes a day without mentioning Justin Bieber I unfortunately know who he is.

But no modern artist or band can come close to classic Queen, Aerosmith, Kiss, Rush, Metalica, Eagles, Journey, Kansas just to mention a few. Give me BTO's TCB or Lovegun or hotel california or give me death!

Okay, maybe not death, but please do not subject me to some gay dude singing about fireflies.

You may not want it from me but okay, I approve.

Milesnmiles -> RE: I know I am out of touch, but (2/1/2014 5:08:53 AM)

I can remember from some years back, talking to my friends son, who was a musician, and he didn't know who Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin were.

Pretty awesome tune. Listened to the Mississippi John Hurt version last night. Recorded live in '64.

Big Everly Brothers fan here too Lucy. But I listen to anything & everything, almost. No rap or opera, those are definitely hard limits. And the Bieb . Nooooo Bieber atall atall

Who the hell were or are the Jonas Brothers?

Of course, this means nothing since most 18 and 20 somethings have no clue as to who Dr. Strange is.


You know you own all their CDs..... Stop trolling for attention.

Actually, if honest... I envy you. I heard them once years ago (I think) and still feel sick.




MercTech -> RE: I know I am out of touch, but (2/5/2014 5:14:12 PM)

Since we were talking music, I thought the reference to Dr. Strange was actually about Dr. Strangely Strange.... interesting band.

jlf1961 -> RE: I know I am out of touch, but (2/6/2014 8:45:15 AM)

I kinda got hooked on Blackmoor's Night.




tiggerspoohbear -> RE: I know I am out of touch, but (2/6/2014 8:54:09 AM)

I turned 51 last month, listen to Kid Rock, my 48 yr old sister has been listening to Yanni for longer than 10 years. Go figure.




MercTech -> RE: I know I am out of touch, but (2/6/2014 8:57:59 AM)

Blackmore's Night... A big change from Deep Purple and the perennial "Smoke on the Water" to doing renfaire music. But, dang, when you listen to "Possum goes to Prague" you see Richie Blackmore demonstrate why he is still one of the best guitarists in existence.

I know when my girls were teenagers they got frustrated. They would play a "new" song for me and there I would go and drag out the original.
