As you may or may not know, I am not a fan of Joni Mitchell's singing voice, in the same way I am not a fan of Joan Baez.

Nonetheless I respect the talent of both.

(By the way, it's fair to say that without Joan Baez as sponsor, the world might never have discovered the genius of Bob Dylan.)

"Circle Game" is a sad, impossibly wistful song from a master songwriter.

I know very little, save by respect and reputation, of Joni Mitchell's work.

Posted previously, Neil Diamond (no songwriting slouch himself) records "Both Sides Now," another sad, impossibly wistful song.

I loved it from the first time I heard it.

I think I was seven or eight, and this was the front album art (sic),

Joni is a favorite of mine. Her voice was amazing. Too bad she smoked so many cigarettes. Joni also wrote excellent songs.

So am I. That Timothy Charlemagne guy, if that's who it is, certainly looks the part.

I saw the commercial, but the sound was down and I'm not certain about the voice, but it's pretty easy to mimic Dylan. Difficult not to make it a caricature.

(His late 80s "Helium Bob" period, when, evidently, he was intent on driving audiences away, was worth the price of admission. Even if you left in disgust after the first few tunes.)

Posted previously at least a few times, but this is one of my all-time favorite opening scenes, from the science fiction flick "Watchmen," at least an hour too long but worth a look for the intrigued,

I check this thread every day. I like it, but I’m amazed at never any Ozzy, Iron Maiden, G ‘N R, Crue, Motörhead, etc. I don’t mind some of the stuff you guys like, I’m just surprised.

I remember in High School when there were so many fans of Journey, Men at Work, Duran Duran, Culture Club, etc. I wasn’t really a fan of any of that. The group of us who liked metal was much smaller, but we were way more into it than the fans of Huey Lewis, etc. I guess it’s the same here.

Conversely, in high school and prior, I loved Pure Pop For Now People.

Then punk Major Major.

I liked all the stuff you apparently did not, and a lot of other music you probably wouldn't credit.

And that's okay.

Some of us here are a bit older, though I'm given to understand you're about my age (I'm 61.)

Life really is like high school.

I hated high school.

In the event, post as you will and let the chips fall where they may,

✅✌️🚮

It’s not like I don’t know the words to “ Don’t you forget about me “ I just greatly preferred hard rock and the video Mr Bass posted looked very familiar and brought back memories. Yes, we are close to the same age. I’m 58.
