Painting with Leon



Wonder if Jakub got the name of his band from this one. leon played bass using the name Russell Bridges




People disagreeing everywhere you look
Makes you want to stop and read a book
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was really shook

Words can’t possibly describe what a huge part of my life Ozzy has been for the last 45 years or so. Actually embarrassing the large chunk of my life spent listening and watching everything the man has ever done. I’m sure I average 20 plus hours per week listening to his entire, vast catalog.
I feel like the people who think of Ozzy and immediately think of “the bat” or the tv show have missed out on four and a half decades of great music. Everything from Blizzard to Patient Number Nine and everything in between has brought me countless hours of enjoyment.
I hope his career continues after July 5th with another album. In the meantime there is 45 years worth of excellence for all of us to enjoy. I just hope that if I end up in a home some day in the future that the rest of the oldsters are ok with listening to Ozzy all day long.

That is rather the image.

I never watched the show. Not once. Good luck to Jack & Kelly.

{And Sharon, despite some shady moves through the years. John isn't innocent in that regard, either.}

Party on, Dr. Oz,

And one of the best covers of all time:

Ha! I didn't know about half of these.

Thank you for posting.

Recall a tribute album, which I assume was "If I Were a Carpenter."

Will Shonen Knife & Sonic Youth covers.

This is the only Post Malone I know, discovered via the flick.

Love it,

Yes, they are all from If I Were a Carpenter. There's more too, but those are the highlights.

And anytime you are feeling down, play Shonen Knife's version of Top of the World and you won't feel down for long.

And Paisley doesn't even drink,

I love "Alcohol", "I'm Still A Guy" and "I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishing Song") for their humor but this one he did with Alison Krauss is a gut wrencher

My dad was a big country music fan so growing up I listened to a lot of what are now considered the classics. Here's one by Patsy Cline

Will those ones too. Thank you.

He was a prodigy of sorts and reputedly quite the wicked prankster on tour,

One more to add to the pile....



...and since we have Japanese bands signing in English, why not American bands singing in Japanese as well?

She is another very special vocalist and artist,





She actually disliked her biggest hit,

Sour Bob Said (Biograph box set liner notes, 1985),

"I used to think I knew what a song was.

"Now it's just people dancing to a pack of lies.

"I mean, 'Some Like It Hot,'



"Mercy."

He had a point.

Or maybe Sour Bob couldn't get it up anymore. (To his credit, Dylan got it together again with 1997's Time Out of Mind. It only took a decade. Just when everyone thought he was a goner. That's our Bob.)

Yes, it was those odd, exceptionally lovable 70s/80s tunes, informing all who listened with satisfying strangeness and a secret smile decades later,


































"It's gonna be rougher

"It's gonna be tougher

"And I ain't gonna be the one

"Who's gonna suffer,"



"The Sun Also Rises,"

Great band

Free Bird (live)


We Can't Do It Alone


You've Got To Believe In Love

That Freebird video I’ve seen 100 times - I put the song on every morning as I get going after I start my car to warm up & ho get my Dunks ice coffee.

Freebird was a monster song when I was in high school

The video especially the girls looked like every girl I went to HS with

Sets me up for a positive day every day

There wasn't a video when I was in high school.

They used to play it on Detroit radio every Thanksgiving .

Maybe the song is really about Tom Turkey receiving his White House pardon,

Oh yeh - I came across it years ago but we didn’t even have MTV till 80’s

The video was from the summer of 1977 when I was in high school - the people in the crowd reflected the look of my HS (you were probably in 7th or 8th so you remember lol)

Btw - the video by ZZ Top ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ the first of the 3 women out of car was married to Matt Keogh.

Matt Keough was a very good pitcher in the 80’s for the A’s but Billy Martin ran that group into the ground - there was a great SI cover of the 5 starting pitchers)

She was also in Playboy I think ? - and was married a long time to him but they were divorced

Keogh dad Marty was a Red Sox player in the 50’s and played with Ted Williams. He’s still alive but Matt died in the last 5 years

I remember in the 80’s or when they used to show the ZZ Top video they’d mention she was married to Keough (I thought she was the best looking of three lol)

Saw Marshall Tucker in Lewiston, ME 1975-76, hard to recall those exact years. It was 110 degrees or the like in the old tin building Lewiston Civic Center that night. Guy in front of us was chuggin' down a bottle of good ole' Southern Whiskey. He suddenly upchucked it on the guy sitting in front of him. The poor guy didn't even realize it and Up Chuck got up and staggered away and of course so did we. Don't know how long it took the poor guy to realize what went down (up).

Anyway these guys opened and I liked them more cause they did an Elmore James tune. My buddies said "What band does he play in?





Every guitar player dusted off this one
