Pariah Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 The title is a reference to Pinto Bennett and the Famous Motel Cowboys, a major influence on Reckless Kelly's own musical style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 "Is This the Life We Really Want?" - Roger Waters The title track from the album of the same name, it is perhaps one of Roger Waters' most political statements. Because of some of the imagery in the lyrics and the video, I'm not going to embed it, though the link is below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUIK7uiVe4A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 he original cast recording of Hadestown, recorded during a live show so you get some of the thunderous applause that greeted many of these songs. The show is a retelling of the Orpheus myth set in something similar to the Depression, where the god Hades' marriage is on the rocks and he's overcompensating by turning the land of the dead into a massive factory complex using the souls of the deceased as labor. Some of the tracks with Hades the god (especially his interaction with Orpheus) are terrifying. I have no likelihood of going to New York and seeing Hadestown live. But heavens do I want to!

Alice Cooper's mastery of stagecraft and self-image was backed up by some pretty serious songwriting chops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 The music system at the casino where I work plays oldies on Wednesdays as part of a promotion to get people 50+ in. When I started, it was a mix of pop tunes from the 40s through 70s, but the music system has been branching out lately.

I feel for you. In college, I lived next to a fire station. I laughed when other people complained about how noisy their neighbors were.

Ternaugh Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I grew up with Country & Western music, and played a bunch of my Mom's old LPs as a kid. Mom passed away almost three years ago, and I'm missing her a lot right now. Here's one of her favorite songs: tkdguy, Spence and Pariah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spence Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 @Ternaugh - Back in the day when there were real places to actually dance, Walking After Midnight was a favorite of mine. I tell you I miss the days when there were actual nightclubs and dance-halls. But that is pretty much gone. I visited a local "country bar" a few years ago, and it was all 80's rock with a few country words thrown in. People didn't even know how to country dance, it was pretty much the same as you see at any club, what I refer to as simulated epileptic fits to music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
