I posted stuff from concrete blonde here in the past. One of my all-time favorite bands, I saw them twice live. I think I'm trying to think of the venue what's not the paradise and it wasn't TT's it was somewhere s*** I forget where but anyway speech to text to your. And I think 91 or so this was around the time of bloodletting, and some dope took out his phone and started yakking on it you know here I am I'm so cool I'm at the concert. And Jeanette napolitano, who does not suffer fools gladly, stopped the song. And said you, out. And she wouldn't start again until this guy left. It was hilarious, and the guy deserved it. Although it was somewhat harsh as well. Anyway speech to text here sorry about that.
BTW, what is the near universal, seemingly irrational hatred toward Nickleback about? I've never heard a note. They're Canadian, yes?
What gives?
Curious.
My favorite version of the widely covered Leonard Cohen masterwork,

For me, they're blindingly generic. Like a knockoff of Candlebox, or Bush, or Creed, all of whom were already a knockoff of Pearl Jam, who themselves were kinda bland anyway IMO.
I don't hate Pearl Jam, but who needs a watered down, xeroxed five times version of them?
I will fully disclose that I only know their hits. I find no need to dig deep for a Nickelback deep cut.

I’ve been on a bit of a shoegaze/dream pop kick lately. Cocteau Twins seem like a unique band. Lush is another “new” favorite of mine.
For your information, on a side note, Nickelback will be touring with Brantley Gilbert this year. I wanted to get tickets but prices are crazy.
Brantley Gilbert fan, I've never listed to Nickelback, lol.

My daughter was a newborn when this song was released and there were many nights when I would be up in the middle of the night - it was always on the MuchMusic chart. I fed her and rocked her back to sleep with this song. Such sweet memories, it brings me joy every time I hear it. I just told this story on a local station's FB page and they called me to record my story so they can play it before the song. I'm honoured.
I love Thorogood - the live version with Elvin "Bad Boy" Bishop is my favourite. I also love the original by John Lee Hooker for a change of pace.
The Brit blokes, Clapton, Page, Beck, Blackmore etc. are all great but there was only one Rory Gallagher. Him and his Strat were IRISH!
For our very own Mr. Irish who has not been around much since he was blessed with child. He, Rory and my grandparents were from Cork. His statue stands in Ballyshannon.
May you all be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows your dead. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Time for some Irish tunes...my favourite time of year.
sometime in 1979 or 1980 my buddies drove down to albany, ny from rutland, vt to see george. crazy crazy crowd and show.
George Harrison and Paul Simon actually sound pretty good together.

Big Paul Simon fan. With Artie and solo.
A fabulous songwriter, lyricist, and musician. One of the best we've ever had, and he's still at it and evolving as an artist. Like Neil.
You can't ask for more than that.
