It wasn't a real rock, it was a sham rock.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you heal quickly and completely.

Tenth Avenue Freeze Out - Bruce Springsteen

One of my sax students turned me on to two CDs called "Honkers & Bar Walkers". Various nice sax players and a lot of R&B that preceded rock n roll. "Sausage Rock" - Doc Sausage

If you see an Apple Store get robbed, does that make you an iWitness?

Avalanche = mountain disaster so Volcano - Jimmy Buffett

Blue And Sentimental - Ike Quebec Ike never got to be as famous as some of his contemporaries, but he was still a very good sax player.

I agree. I used to have a Fender P Bass and I left the ash tray and the pickup cover on. Like this one: I think they look better that way.

At The Zoo - Simon & Garfunkel

Surfin' USA - Beach Boys They settled the lawsuit with Chuck Berry and gave him writing credit and half the songwriter royalties because it sounded like "Sweet Little Sixteen". I wonder why "Twistin' USA" didn't fall to the same fate. Perhaps because it didn't sell enough to matter.

Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley

When I was single, I used to hit on girls with tattoos. Why? I figured I'd have a better chance with a girl who is willing to do something that she will regret later. (drum roll and rimshot please)

Katmandu - Bob Seger

Flying Home - Illinois Jacquet

I read a pretty convincing piece that tattoos compromise your immune system. First of all, a couple of colors of ink used in the USA are banned in Europe as probable carcinogens. More important than that, the ink lodges in your lymph nodes which are major immune system components. When full of ink, the notes turn black, become hard as a rock, and no longer work as the filters, which is their primary function. I'm glad I never got a tattoo. Personally, I don't really find them attractive anyway. But to each his/her own. Notes ♫

Swivel? Turn Turn Turn - The Byrds

Discrimination against the people from Lesbania

I was almost famous once. I was in a band that played the college circuit all over the US east of the Rocky Mountains, and eventually we became the opening act for big stars of the day like The Four Seasons, The Association, The Kingsmen, and about a dozen others. Motown noticed us, and we worked with them for a while, being the opening act for many of the Great Motown groups including a big multi-group concert in Detroit's Cobo Hall. We were supposed to be the first all-white group to be released on the Motown family of labels. All-white wasn't a racist thing, as we never saw any racism at Motown, but Bob Seger was making #1 records on Detroit radio, and Berry figured that if that's what people want, he should supply it. At Motown all that mattered was whether you could play or not. The problem was Motown's last offer was 2 cents per record. Out of our royalties Motown would deduct inflated recording costs, inflated promotion costs and inflated distribution costs. In addition to that, they wanted all publishing rights and royalties, and they would assign a Motown 'ghostwriter' who would not contribute a single note or word to the song but get half the songwriter's royalties. When our manager stood our ground at a slightly better deal, Motown quit hiring and talking to us and picked their second choice, The Sunliners. Of course, as with all the Motown groups, Motown wanted to own the name of the group, so they could hire and fire at will, and have 4 or more groups with the same name touring the country working for union scale. So the Sunliners changed their name to Rare Earth. It was a great experience. It was my first taste of being treated as an equal to the stars of the day, we made very good money while it lasted, and we had a chance to hook up with a lot of young women who just seemed to be attracted to musicians. I have no regrets, it was a party for a couple of years. Later in life, I guess the best thing about never making it is that now I'm not a has-been. Notes ♫

Took a second ^^^

I surprisingly found this to be quite good. Leave The Door Open - Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic

Goodbye Cruel World - Pink Floyd
