Unfortunately, Heroin took many incredible talents from us in the 70's and 80's, including Phil. His band was one of the most underrated of the time. Link to comment

But apart from the obvious Sultans of Swing - The Wild West End and The Gallery - the last two tracks on the ALBUM (it was an album before there were discs. And mp3s). But I digress. Both terrific.

I cruised the strip some, went to Malibu and hung out at state beach. Raced a couple Ferrari's up and down Sunset but one day came flying around the sweeper by Will Rogers SP and sprinklers had soaked down the road, it did a snap spin l80 ended up going backwards a ways but stayed in my lane.. No collateral damage but scared a few peeps including me, it was the first of several times I've done that in a Porsche (on public roads : ) We left New Orleans after getting sloshed at Pat O'Brien's and drove straight thru listening to Wolfman Jack on the AM Blaupunkt all the way across Texas and New Mexico. There were many but for some reason only remember this one at 2am coming down the long grade into Albuquerque on Rt 66. After the Porsche was gone 4 of us drove a van down to Baja and camped/surfed at K39 and listened mostly to this for 3 days on the 8 track. 4 Link to comment

I saw that on the 57 (don’t remember the car brand but it was a bit sporty). Glad you’ve managed to keep the rubber side down & shiny side up & I hope you thoroughly washed the driver seat before turning over the car to Hilton 1 Link to comment

scout6 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Peter Gabriel is working on a new album. He is releasing each song in two versions. He has two producers/engineers working on their own version of each song. They are labeled Brightside and Darkside, like our Moon. Interesting listening to determine the differences in each version. So far 9 lunar cycles. Peter Gabriel 4 Link to comment

You just heard screaming, you didn't hear the vocal instrument, but that's ok, some of us listen to damn near everything. Some folks don't like the sound of Tchaikovsky or Bach or the tenor of Pavarotti. Some think that Bob Dylans voice goes straight to the bone like grinding brakes, some don't think the Beatles are "all that". Some think that blues is boring. I'ma listen to everything, almost, from Leo Kottke to Rush to Enya to Metallica to those Karlsen girls up there, throw in some Hank (sr and jr) and appreciate it all. 2 Link to comment

One of the comments described it as basically a blessing for anyone who goes out their front door, but the lyrics are more about a child leaving home to start their own life. Switching gears a bit... Mark Knopfler rose to fame as lead singer and guitarist for Dire Straits, but he’s had a long and successful career since parting company with them. Together with the Notting Hillbillies, he put out an album that's mostly covers of old, very old, and traditional blues/country songs. Knopfler composed (and sang) this particular piece: On his solo albums, Knopfler has done a bunch of songs where he sings the part of a historical figure. In this one, he’s a worn-out soldier in Napoleon’s army during the retreat after the disastrous 1812 invasion of Russia: What does it feel like to finally win a race after struggling at the back of the pack all season? Here ya go. With the years and race tracks he mentions, it’s clear he’s singing about CART (the predecessor to IndyCar) b– but the feel he’s captured is somehow more like 1950s NASCAR: 2 Link to comment
