Lee Greenwood’s patriotic song absolutely sucks. Yes, I know the title. No, I do not want to type it. It sucks. I loathe that song.

Wow. “Oh Darling” for karaoke? Kudos, Sir. Ballsy. That would not be easy for me to “sing”. I’d be up there simply screaming and yelling that tune. and as for Billy Joel. Good on you. I’m personally not a huge fan. Early stuff was OK. But I think “Uptown Girl” and “We didn’t start the fire” are two of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. They are total punch out’s for me. He is talented though, and yes Christie Brinkley (drool)...

Exactly. The grass, it’s not always greener “over there”, but Life...it is the greatest educator. And a random (or maybe not so random) thought about the whole portal thing...maybe it’s the NCAA’s way of leveling the playing field for both University and Athletes? I don’t doubt for one second that there are coaches out there “pushing” athletes towards the portal, especially athletes they didn’t recruit. “Son, I want to shoot straight with you. We don’t see you getting significant play time here at ________. As you know the NCAA allows you the opportunity to potentially find more play time via the portal. Take a look at that kid from _______ who just landed at ______. The opportunity is there. You may want to explore it. We’ll release you to any school you wish.”

So I was driving back from my monthly Costco trip (dammit, I’m so domesticated)/ Anyway, Sirius XM has transitioned channel 105 to a “guitar god” sort of channel. Nancy Wilson is guest DJ’ing and she just told the story of how this came to be and what an honor it was. cliff notes - They were on tour across the country - got the call to come play STH at Kennedy Ctr as a SURPRISE to all in attendance including POTUS, FL and LZ - obviously, said “Hmm, Let us thi..HELL YES!” Then hopped on a jet at a moment’s notice - had only ONE rehearsal - went to dinner that night- ran into J Page at same restaurant, who asked them what they were doing there in town - Obviously had to LIE to JP 😬 - got to gig, nervous as hell/ Decided to get LASER focusednessed and played trying so hard not to F it up - she Said they could NOT see POTUS/FL or LZ which probably helped nerves - Finished and bounced. - Said the “impact” of that moment came a few days/week or so later when they saw LZ again and they told her how they were all “blown away” by the participants performance and how honored that they were these people would drop what they’re doing to come play at their ceremony. - She said the entire band (Zep) were so sweet and so gracious, she’ll remember it forever.

Another opinion Although I’m not sure it’s all that Unpopular.... the strokes officially suck.

Yes. Exactly. #metoo < No CR! I’m a #GirlDad (And NO. no Pics! 🖕🏻 “The rules”)

Aside from your overall post, with which I agree, you bring up a really another potentially engaging topic, here. What bands or music genres might you not normally enjoy at home, however you might dig them when you’re in their “environment”? For ex~ I like RHCP, but I don’t listen to a lot of their stuff these days when at home. Yet, when I’m on the West Coast or as even as “far” west as AZ, I will make a point to do so. Yes, I understand they’re a Cali band- maybe it’s me having on “blinders” in that respect...but it’s the same with Aerosmith...I have to be in the Boston area to really enjoy them. Reggae? I hate it. But if I’m on a beach, with a brew? Bring it. That other island bullshit with the stupid drums that make the weird noises? (You know the shit they play on cruise ships)- It sucks. But, it wasn’t THAT bad when I was on said cruise ship. (Which I’ll never do again, because, well..the music sucked🤣) errybody have a great weekend and go listen to or better yet, PLAY some music!

Wilco ain’t that great.

I find it hard to believe that in today’s world, there’s not been an uprising amongst the Top AD’s in the country to contact or organize an well funded PE Firm to essentially “buy out” the NCAA. Any institution that has had legislation “impressed” upon them by the Fed Gov for what is essentially unfair treatment of women (historically and as recent as 30 days ago!) should be “de-funded”.

Yup, agreed. And their “100yr decision” is a perfect example what happens when one’s contempt for their “rival” outweighs the love of ones self. Their actions are clouded by hate.

This could spawn a new topic...”Name your best/favorite karaoke song”

Raise your hand 🙋🏻 if you’ve been told by a parent or grandparent to “go pick you a switch”...Damn, you just knew it was about to be on. Ugh.

Oh, hi Mack. (sorry had to😅😉😬)

Yeah, well word on the street is that @futureman can help him shove ‘em back up there...

Like @t-bone and you point out; this would be THE ESSENCE of PRESSURE. And please let me be clear; my commentary in NO way is meant as slandering to ANY musician anywhere. I have great respect for anyone who can play more than a few notes on any instrument. I love music and consider it a wonderful gift (even “crappy” music)- I’d never begrudge anyone for missing a note (hell it’s not like I could tell!) whilst playing someone else’s masterpiece with them being present. Further, all you Guys & Ladies who are on the site; contributing by Plato your music, both here and in your own communities- THANK YOU. Not everyone will “like” it; but I’m positive they appreciate your talents.

Yes, pretty, pretty good.... During the guitar solo, around the 2:54 mark; it looks to me as if Page is mouthing the chords. I imagine him thinking to himself, “let’s see if this punk wanker can play it with some semblance of mediocrity so as to just not butcher it”

My Tech grad neighbor sent me this... They skeered... 🙂

I have a neighbor who’s a Tech grad send me this...

Also, I’m not sure if it’s “shameful”, but I really dig 70’s -80’s easy/folk rock...Ie, Sirius XM’s “The Bridge” for me is more of a guilty pleasure. Seals & Croft, Christopher Cross, Ambrosia, Little River Band, etc etc

I actually searched them in iTunes and listened to a bunch of samples- I heard quite a few song of which I had no clue were theirs. Huh, whatdya know...they do have a catalogue...🙌🏻👊🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻

Wait. Buckcherry has a catalog?
