Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007OT/ The Good Thing About a News Reader
Hello friends, As I sat here a moment ago, listening to a really good song by Pink Floyd, I started thinking how lucky I am that I do not have the intrusions upon my consciousness of the nutbags and idiots out there who troll asd. Yes, every now and then, I take a look at their inane postings, and I wonder what planet they are from... Such malice, such hate, such ignorance.... and such fervor and intensity, oh my! Anyway, shine on folks, ... and get a really good newsreader, if you can. To borrow from Jimmie Hendrix, it is the only way to go for the "ultimate usenet experience"...

Perhaps, but I haven't heard them. LOL Cheri > Aw c'mon Will, are there any really *good* songs by Pink Floyd. > Perhaps, but I haven't heard them. LOL Au contraire, mon Cheri! Susan >x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Susan Maybe, like in so many areas, it is a matter of personal taste... I very much like their "Money", "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", "Comfortably Numb"," On the Turning Away"," Not Now John", and many, many others. At the moment, I am hearing a fabulous rendition of "What Do You Want From Me?" "Learning to Fly" and "Keep Talking" are pretty good, also.... I have seen them live doing many of these songs...They are/were totally unforgettable.

At the moment, I am hearing a fabulous rendition of "Young girl get out of my mind" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap...different strokes Will, and if that's not good...listen to "Where did all the good times go...Dennis Yost and the Classics IV. Also, I do love the fabulous rendition of Teen Angel.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Will, T2 Hey, "Gay"Puckett...could have been really interesting. Not the greatest voice in the world, but songs that I truly loved back then, including the Reverend Mr. Posey. I know the old songs Will, but I know more of the songs that other people didn't love, except me. Think Glen Yarborough and "Time to move On" Think Glenn Campbell, and " The last time I saw her face." Most people think Donovan for Universal Soldier...I think Glenn Campbell. Cheri >Will, T2 wrote in message ... >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Cheri I saw/heard Glen yarborough and Glenn Campbell in the late 60s... Never saw Donovan, although I would like to have done so.... Actually, I have a great rendition of the "Universal Soldier" by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Chris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash, when they were performing as The Highwaymen.... Another Pink Floyd song that is pretty good is "Sorrow"... Here is a link to a rendition that is pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njQtAC6EH8E Will, T2 >I saw/heard Glen yarborough and Glenn Campbell in the late 60s... >Never saw Donovan, although I would like to have done so....

Now, tell me Will, do you remember the song.."the last thing on my mind" by the Vejetables, spelled with a "J" I loved that song, and I've heard it by a lot of groups since then, but never as good as the Vejetables. I did hit it on the internet, and saw that somebody had a 45 for sale for many dollars. I passed. I did spend larger bucks for Roy Head, Water Glass Full Of Whiskey. I have never been sorry for spending the money. Cheri >Will, I can't access that stuff until I get a new puter, hopefully it >will be soon.

A lesson too late for the learning made of sand made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul is turning in your hand in your hand Are you going away with no word of farewell will there be not a trace left behind I could have loved you better didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind You've got reasons of plenty for going this I know Lord this I know For the weeds have been steadily growing please don't go please don't go As I lie in my bed in the morning without you without you Each song in my breast dies a borning without you Lord without you Are you going away...

One of the songs that always breaks my heart...is Ocean Deep by Cliff Richardson..Please come to Boston runs a close second, but then there is Canadian Railroad Trilogy by Gordon Lightfoot, Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez, MacArthurs Park by Richard Harris, and every song that any of us ever loved at the time. So many songs make me weepy, and happy, that I could never pick just one. Thank God for music. :-) Cheri > Ricavito wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Yes indeed, music seems to define important times in my life too. I was cursed with no talent to make music, but blessed with the love of it. I like just about everything, old stuff and new stuff. Joan Baez is a particular favorite of mine too. She rescued a lot of wonderful old English-Appalachian ballads from oblivion, Silver Dagger, Four Marys, wonderful stuff.

I didn't go to my fortieth reunion, and an old boyfriend of mine did. I bought the video though, and I e-mailed him and said that those people look really old. He was offended and said, well...you're old too...I said...Yeah, but I'm not in the video! LOL Cheri I still enjoy CSNY ... "Our House" Did you know that nash (excellent musician, BTW) was in an English group called "The Hollies" ? They had some super hits in the 1960s ... When the group started to disintegrate, he joined Graham, Steven and Neil to form CSNY ... a lyrical part of my youth As for Derek and the D's ... I got the album of Cream where it was first recorded for the public ... still have it !

You know what's funny to me? I know ..."He ain't heavy, he's my brother...Bus Stop, but ...the words to stop, stop, stop all the music, resonate...and the best song they ever sang, as far as I'm concerned...is "Pay you back with interest." :-) Cheri I just listened to "You wear it well", by Rod, the famous "Scotsman" from London ... here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDBd-jriBS8 Suggest you try when you can hear it again.

We used to laugh about Rod Stewart, saying that all of us smokers could really have a big hit song in our later years. LOL Cheri > Aw c'mon Will, are there any really *good* songs by Pink Floyd. > Perhaps, but I haven't heard them. LOL When it comes to music, "good" requires definition. "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With a Pict" is certainly _interesting_ ....

The thing is that we all have our own peculiar tastes, which arise from our unique experiences of life... There is no value judgement in that. It is part of the wonder of life. I love that song and the lyrics, though... Will, T2 |
