I want one...lol.<br /><br />--Mitch Ryder & the Detroit W Wheels (originally called just DETROIT...when that town was decent and livable). "There's a name I haven't heard in..."(gratuitous Star Wars quote...heh). She's got potential.<br />---Mo Kenney - good song and vocals (androgeny making a comeback?)<br />--Snoopy & The Red Baron - "10, 20, 30 40, 50 or more..." (jump in, Chris).<br />--Englebert - He was the favorite of my mom back then. GOOD crooner.<br />--Good to see the Zombies are at it still.<br />--Those LONGER streaks would seem to make sense. I recall those songs on the radio FOREVER (and most of them never got old)<br />--The Falco story was something I knew nothing about (and I'm a big Status Quo fan from the 70s onward).<br />--Heh, that MONSTER TRUCK song sounds like .38 Special meets RUSH.<br />--Gotta run w/ the ORIGINAL "Flo & Eddie" - The Turtles. A slam-bang finish.<br /><br />Very good ride...where do you find such smooth roads? (not in Ft.

Mo Kenney ...Never knew you had Dorfman blood, lol!<br /><br />Mo Kenney kinda snuck up on me. Not sure why, but I think I like it...<br /><br />Glad you liked Monster Truck, I haven't been able to win Laurie over to it yet. It does sound like early Deep Purple, don't it? My comment to Laurie was, "Well, I have the Zombies and I have Santana, I should have a Steppenwolf..."<br /><br />It's funny how a lot of singers almost miss their biggest hit because they don't think much of it. My favorite two examples were Dream Weaver, which Gary Wright's wife apparently had to talk him into releasing, and The Long And Winding Road, where McCartney and I part company on Spector's contributions.<br /><br />So, of Snoopy and WC, which one was fact and which fiction?<br /><br />It may soon be back to bed for me. I actually worked this Friday after staying up for the Debate.<br />CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-2077762127531622002016-02-26T15:29:16.284-05:002016-02-26T15:29:16.284-05:00"Just fix the car, and leave my sex life out ..."Just fix the car, and leave my sex life out of it..."CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-67843260629712189042016-02-26T12:35:43.441-05:002016-02-26T12:35:43.441-05:00Richard Petty blew his engine?

I'm not ashamed because everybody does it. <br /><br />(BA-DUM-BUMP)<br /><br />At Penn State I didn't apply myself to anything but partying. I'll never forget the words Dean Wormer spoke when he called me into his office and revealed my GPA:<br /><br />"0.2... Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son." <br /><br />Once again this week, many of the songs released in 1967 formed the soundtrack of my youth and some were also Dell biggies. I will focus on music that is new to my ears. I really like the smooth, clear voice and indie rock style of Mo Kenney. I also dug that jazz influenced recording by The Zombies. My favorite was Monster Truck which sounded like Deep purple. Have you noticed that I have opened my ears in recent months and no longer diss softer, melodic music the way I used to? For a while there I was going through a death metal phase and couldn't hear or appreciate much of anything with a melody. Ch..ch..ch..changes have taken place and I am once again enjoying kinder, gentler sounds.<br /><br />That's interesting research you are doing into the differences between Billboard and Cash Box. I use both surveys heavily and have noticed that they rarely match. It seems like Cash Box might have been slightly more "hip" than Billboard. Both charts are irrelevant, however, because Shady's Law states... (you know the rest).<br /><br />I read that Johnny Rivers was hesitant to change styles and abandon his go-go type recordings and start recording introspective ballads. It's a good thing he did because his biggest hits came during that second phase of his career.<br /><br />Fiction and fact from Shady's almanac: "Snoopy" and "Winchester Cathedral" are two novelty style records that became unlikely hits at the Dell.<br /><br />Thanks, Chris! Have a Shady day and a Scrappy weekend!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
