Jill Your childhood morning school song beats the h**l out of mine....can't even remember its name - something sappy about palm trees, sunshine, and orange blossoms.

I don't recall having a morning song at school, but then I went to so many schools I probably wouldn't remember if I had. When I was all grown up (yeah, right!) a new V.P. at my then job transferred in. He decided it would be a good idea to kick off the Friday meeting by telling us how he started his mornings. Keep in mind, this was back in the 80's and Tina Turner had finally gotten rid of Ike. So he pops in a video of Tina singing, "What's Love Got to Do with It?" and proceeds to tell a group of about 20 people he gets his blood pumping with Tina every morning. We were just sitting there, like, uh, you didn't really just say that, did you?! The meetings were just never the same after that :D I think that was about the time he decided it might be better to hold the meetings at a restaurant with a breakfast buffet (YES!) and no VCR.

(Aldous Huxley) When those songs were popular I considered them elevator music (a USA thing) and all my bad translations (as an adult!) were from AC/DC's Angus Young's growling lyrics or Nazareth (how I loved them Oz bands!) or FogHat - a one-hit wonder: remember "Slow Ride"? For years I thought "Now you're messing with a *** of a *****" was "Hound dog messing with a *** of a *****". Happily, I am able to enjoy these legendaries whenever I want thanks to the little white cat w/earphones who went commercial recently..... : >>And who could forget these two Bee Gees hits of the late 70's? : >>"Bald-headed woman" (More than a woman) and [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] : claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. : (Aldous Huxley) > bands!) or FogHat - a one-hit wonder Heh, I saw Foghat in concert at the Overton Park Shell in Memphis back in... oh, must have been 1975. A freebie. Everyone was rockin' :) That was back in the day when the cops turned a blind eye to folks in the park firing up joints and passing around botas filled with wine. I do need to point out, however, Foghat wasn't a "one hit wonder". 'Slow Ride' was probably the best known (commercially) but you would probably also recall 'Fool for the City' and 'Don't Run me Down' if you were to hear them today. Jill >>>> And who could forget these two Bee Gees hits of the late 70's? >>>> "Bald-headed woman" (More than a woman) and [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply >> disgraceful. (Aldous Huxley) Thanks, Jill. FogHat's lead singer went to RB a couple years ago, they were Brits, I remember. All I ever remembered they made was "SlowRide", short version; and "SlowRide", long version (the one I have, the best); I do recall the songs you mention. There is a popular commercial on tv these days about 2 lawn ornaments (a gnome and a jockey boy) hitting the road in a convertible while "SlowRide"'s chorus blasts from car radio...all because they couldn't stand their owner's nasty lawn one minute more.

How things do turn around.....LOL. How about that! I never realized they started out that early. I was a HUGE fan. (but not so fanatical as to research their history. lol) As for Van Halen, I went to a concert during the Monsters of Rock tour and my boyfriend at the time signed up to be a roady during their stay. We were going through rocky times during that summer so I never got to meet the band, but he (bf) was ready to leave town and sign up to be a permanent roady for them. They didn't hire him and that was the last straw for me with him. LOL SignatureCheryl Heh. I really didn't "research" the 'Gunners' "history", just happened to be there when they were still opening for bigger bands from LA to where I lived then. LOL. Only thing else I remember is that I thought Slash looked a lot like Joe Perry (it was the hair). One of my nephews in CA was a roadie for Motley Crue for years; his bad back began bothering him when he wasn't a young kid anymore, and the last I heard he was working in some store they had opened in LA somewhere. The impression I got from him when we lived out there was that yeah, they had all the bad qualities and habits of rock band members, but they were generous and treated him well as an employee. I used to nag him constantly to meet Nikki Sixx but that was a lost cause. Talk about groupies.

She used to beg to go to rock concerts at 14, and I never let her because I thought it wasn't a safe environment. So her church group was going to see a Christian rock group. Of course I made an exception...what could happen at a /Christian rock concert? Well. They decided to fling Bibles from the stage into the crowd...she got pegged in the eye by an airborne New Testament and got a very serious eye injury.

I should point out, in case you didn't know - Ian Anderson is a CAT person :) The first concert I ever attended was dubbed the "Memphis Jam" back in 1974 - also a stadium concert - at the Liberty Bowl. Saw the original (that would be pre-plane crash) Lynard Skynard, among others. The most notable thing I recall was that it was bleeding hot. Well, Memphis is hot as Hades in July. We were sitting on a blanket down on the field. Between bands, I went up to the concession with my friend Cathy and waited while she endured the endless line for something cold to drink. She literally flopped over the railing (passed out from the heat). The bills she had clutched in her hand for those overpriced colas fluttered all along the corridor. (Oh great, it chose that moment to get breezy in Memphis in July.) I yelled, "OMG Cathy! Someone, please get me a cold rag, some ice, something!" I was only 14 at the time, but I think I handled it well :-) Someone from the concession stand gave me a wet towel and we managed to get her back on her feet. While I was tending to her, a guy came up and handed me a fist full of dollars and said, "Miss, here you go, I gathered up her money." Aye, and didn't make off with it! Thank you, mystery guy, wherever and whoever you are! >>>And who could forget these two Bee Gees hits of the late 70's? >>>"Bald-headed woman" (More than a woman) and [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. > (Aldous Huxley) Gah... couldn't avoid them, those Bee Gees were my mum's favourites back then.
