April 8, 201511 yr I watched a movie tonight. A Bronx Tale. Chazz Palminteri played the Mafia Boss. A tough character. He was tough in real life too, as a young man. I know I would have been in it huge, with him. In the movie, is one of Bob Dylan Songs, played by Jimi Hendrix. A bump. Maybe some newer person, might enjoy it too:
April 9, 201511 yr Damn! I didn't Prince was that good! Is that Harrison's kid? Sure looks like him. Nice to see Clapton again too! Hey Marcus .. Did you know that "Layla" was George Harrison's wife? Well, I guess of course "you" did .. duh ... and, you know what's coming next ...
April 11, 201511 yr Mike, Yes, Prince is that good. No BS, he's the real deal, a lot of fancy stuff but he can shred And that is Geo's kid, Dani. Spitting image of the old man eh? I read a story about Layla, wasn't she Harrison's GF at one time?
April 11, 201511 yr well, here is what streaming Pandora all day at work will get you...fire up the Wayback Machine Mr. Peabody, I'm ready to go!
April 11, 201511 yr I read a story about Layla, wasn't she Harrison's GF at one time? I think she was Harrison's wife.The song, was about Layla, after Clapton, had tried to offer her "consolation", and fell in love with her, too! WTH! I couldn't resist posting the original version again. NOPE! I like this later "live" version better!
April 12, 201511 yr Nevermind ... you don't need to know all that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqIpkMDRjYw
April 13, 201511 yr Here's a clip of an interview where, Clapton speaks of "Layla" (Pattie Boyd), and the beginning of his sobriety:
April 13, 201511 yr Beryl, the tobacco overtook herWhen they gave her a BookerShe was dead in her graveAfter all she gaveAfter all she gave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJOAaMw6yzk
April 13, 201511 yr ^^^ sure remember that one. Never seen "Sloopy" before. She was an inspiration I'm sure. My first 45. About that same time. Edit: Maybe not my first, but I loved it, and drove my mom nuts playing it and a few others. I had this one too! I don't know what's up with the pics on the video though.
April 14, 201511 yr ^^^ Ya. Jimmy Page, one of the greats! Looks good here, too. Robert Plant still looks like the dummy he is with "no" talent. Sorry, we saw a concert of his years back, while standing in the eight row. Confirmation for me, that he is still without any talent and a fool. Supposedly, sometimes Page would join him for the odd concert on that tour but, much to my wife's chagrin who insisted we go, that wasn't the case. She loves Page. A waste of a night. One of our son-in-laws and friends slept outside in a tent in front of the stadium, to get their front row seats. (Got us 8th row ones, lol). Stairway to Heaven. Some of Page's best work! hmm ... Here's "American Woman" by the Western Canadian band, that wrote it, (Randy Bachman of The Guess Who). And one of theirs (reported to never be recorded, just copied from a concert ), that is still played on the radio here.
April 16, 201511 yr I like the song but, celebrating Lucifer, is a little more than I should do here, (I did that enough with "All Along the Watchtower", already) ... How about White Rabbit?
April 18, 201511 yr Just like "the oldest", said once about Ray Charles, Whitney Houston, "can make you just want to weep".
