Linus might end up like these guys if he gets player of the week

"He makes all kinda of saves, he gets all kinds of raves,
Beat the Rangers, the Flames and the Blues
He gets plenty of hugs, but he can't get his mug
On the cover the Hockey News"




Want to see that smilin' face, on the cover of the Hockey News

 

[GordonHowe]

All gotta start somewhere I suppose

And, of couse,

 

[Orr Fourever]

I'm picking up good vibes from the group.

 

[JAD]

A few from Brantley Gilbert's new album - So Help Me God.

 

[Blowfish]

Jamming with some friends last night...Zeppelin was a hit. Crazy we don't see more songs here! The 3 we butchered were as follows...

I'm picking up good vibes from the group.

After Pet Sounds failed to make No. 1 in the U.S. (highest position: #10, though it reached #2 in the UK), the chart topping "Good Vibrations" provided a measure of redemption for the bruised ego of Brian Wilson.

Obviously, one of the greatest pop single's ever.

 

[GordonHowe]

Just hit "Watch On YouTube,"

Sunday morning listening to Tom.

From Farm Aid many years ago

The Sabres uniforms along with the technicolor advertisement boards were what we called back in the 60's a "Psychedelic Pop Art Experiment"

has it been 25 years since the return of Line Dancing

I don't care for her (at all) so I am all set.

Unfortunately, most of the artist I want to see are dead or too old to do concerts.

When I was in Vegas a couple of weekends ago, The Who were playing. Some of my friends went and said they still rocked pretty hard for guys almost 80. Last year, the Stones played while we were there. Some of these old guys are still playing. They're probably the exception though.

Me and the missus saw James Taylor in Paris last month. It started as a last minute Christmas present (I was thinking he'd be at Great Woods or Fenway), and when I realized he was touring Europe I quickly summonsed my daughters and asked if they would hang with their brother so that the two of us could take a mini-vacation to Paris. The trip was amazing, and so was the show. The venue was small, and we were probably 75 feet from the stage.

The Paris trip was also great in that we decided that would be Christmas, birthdays and mothers day / fathers day because we don't need to buy anything for each other any more.

My kids are into concerts at Foxboro. They don't have as many shared experiences when we did as kids (when we all watched the same tv shows at the same time, and the annual showing of The Wizard of Oz, Its a Mad Mad World, and The Deer Hunter were appointment television). So I can appreciate their enjoyment of the big shows that come through town. I'm too old for that, and when I see a show I want to be within a couple of hundred feet from the band.

I have seen James a bunch of times. My sister lives in the Berkshires so we have been to Tanglewood a couple of times. He is always good!

My last concert just before Covid started its madness. It will probably be my last one as it was a little uncomfortable standing that long. What a concert to go out on. Slash is fantastic.

Our "old band" experience was Squeeze last year:

They were actually pretty awesome. We also saw Elvis Costello, but his show was disappointing to me.

Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.....those old f**kers still make my heart happy and put on great shows....I will still go see them until I can't haul my fat ass to my seat....

Judas Priest

That would be The Who with no original members, right?

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I'm with you,

Being 62 I have witnessed greatness in many forms of music.

Today, its mostly garbage. including this hack

I liked Garbage too.

But they've been around for a while now.

I just saw the WHO with Daltrey and Townshend and Zac Starkey on Drums

 

[TD Charlie]

I would happily pay whatever to see The Who play if the conductor was still on the drums.

Keith Moon was the soul of the band for sure, but I also think Kenney Jones is underrated as their replacement drummer. Eminence Front is a jam.

Unfortunately, nobody in the world could play like Moon, even if they tried. I once heard it described "Like he was tossing his drums down a gigantic staircase, but still staying in time." He was as unique a musician as there ever was.

That is true, he was just frenetic while technically sound.

Growing up listening to music I always ignored drummers while thinking about how the guitarist or bassist were the most important part of the band, but at some point I made the realization that the drum pattern makes an incredible difference in whether I love a song or think a song is meh.

My favorite is Ringo, and I'll defend him against all the teenage music nerds who try to claim that he was sloppy and that misquoted Lennon statement that he wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles. His drumming, particularly on their earlier records, was tremendous and brought a hell of a lot to the Beatle sound. I think the criticism stemmed from traditional drum teachers because Ringo was left-handed while playing a right-handed kit so the whole style is unorthodox.

My appreciation of Ringo has grown over the years. Though I always thought his fill before the chorus of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was the coolest thing ever. Watching the Get Back documentary did reassure me that he was by far the mellowest cat in the band. Nothing phased him, unlike the other insecure, narcissistic (or in the case of Lennon, drugged out) nitwits.

I know nothing about drumming but I heard another drummer say that Ringo always played a half beat behind,that was his TM.
