Hi All,

 

She had a horror of rooms, she was tired, you can't hide beat

When I looked in her eyes, they were blue but nobody home

 

JJ

First Bowie album I ever bought.

 

Seems an appropriate time to have resurrected this thread!

leads to a line from Paul Kelly that I wistfully remember each time I drive up the Kensington road:

 

"Kensington Road runs straight for a while before turning"

 

"We lived on the bend, it was there I was raised and fed"

Yep, that's the song.  Apparently didn't go down too well with some of his relos. ?

 

In '82 we'd had Springsteen baring his (& his country's) soul on Nebraska and it was huge.  In '85 Paul Kelly easily reached the same heights with Post and it didn't even chart!  Aussie commercial radio sucks!

A few of the songs on Post, including this one, are better known by the full band versions on Gossip.  I love the Gossip album, but give me the raw energy of Post any day!

And who of us can tell what's real and what's fantastic?
You do it right
No-one else could have such grace and be so spastic, yeah

 

Brave use of a word, and obviously not used as a derogative term https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/spastic

Not written by Johnny Cash 

The Night Hank Williams came To Town

The protagonist’s girlfriend is called Mavis and after the show

”while Hank signed Beaulah Rice’s fan

Mavis got acquainted with the Driftin’ Cowboys band

the effect on all our lives was quite profound

"You're my bluesky, you're my sunny day

Lord it makes me high when you turn your love my way..."

 

"Bluesky"...my favourite Allman Brothers band song by Dicky Betts, followed by a really sweet guitar solo...just right for Sunday morning.

"Do you know what you are?
You are what you is"

 

Frank Zappa - You are what you is

 

....and the rest of the verse is golden:

 

"You is what you am
(A cow don't make ham . . . )
You ain't what you're not
So see what you got
You are what you is
An' that's all it 'tis"

I’m listening to protest songs☂️

Its how I escape the madness ?

singing it loud so to speak

 

solidarity forever

solidarity forever

for the Union makes us strong

written in 1915 by Ralph Chaplin with traditional music as in John Browns Body and the Battle Hymm of The Republic from the civil war I think which is why it’s so familiar

according to Wikipedia

Make room for my forty-fives,

along beside your seventy-eights, nothing survives,

but the way we live our lives

 

Daddy's Tune - Jackson Browne

from The Pretender

 

I'm finding some time spent with some of the early albums in my collection therapeutic at the moment.

I’m with ya on that

I spend hours listening to folkie stuff from the 60’s

What they were protesting then is kindergarten compared to today

caught between the longing for love

and the struggle for the legal tender

Great writer Jackson Browne

Oh they play those token games on Willy Thompson

And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs Annie Johnson.

 

Rodriguz, Cause.

 

I don’t know who Willy Thompson is, but the last line sums up the futility and tragedy of war in twelve words.
