Hey, Ewe, glad you had fun.  It's really a thrill to meet people in real life you've been chatting with on the net for years.  It's like you know them on the inside, but you've never met their outside.

That Sicknote vid was really fun, I liked it.  But, I looked and I looked, and I never saw any bunny ears.  How could I miss such a thing?

666?  That must be an extensive menu.  Good thing no goats were harmed, I might have been one.

Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy???  Will we ever hear that on Lawrence Welk?  The Archies?  You're having to dig deep for this stuff!

Dandy-Pie:  You sent me off to Google, so I guess I'm showing my age (so what's new?).  I'd never heard of Zan and Jayna.  They must have been around during one of my ban-TV periods, and died before I returned.  Was it a good show?

Hunkey:  !!!Thank you so much for the references!!!  AND, thank you for stopping in.  AIDS is definitely affecting all of us, and our children.  "Say It's Not True" conveys such a succinct message, not only in the world of AIDS research, but in the health care industry itself.  As you know, this is a big issue in our society in the U.S.  IMHO, no medical care should be withheld from anybody due to their inability to pay.  There is something wrong with the picture where people are practicing medicine for financial gain rather than helping people live healthy, productive lives.  As I wrote to the Governor of Texas just last week, "This system is wrong" this system is sick. I applaud Paul Rodgers, and Brian May for making this performance available.  Let us volley it on to every corner of the world.

I've been scarce here for a while, just chillin', trying to come up with some enthusiasm.  It hit me today when I played The Groobees CD in the car while I was running some errands.  I know, you've never heard of the Groobees, they're Texas folk.  But, Susan Harris bears listening to.  She's an outstanding song writer, and .... I'll let her tell you.

Wide Open Spaces

Hunkey:  I voted.  Next week is #1 guitarist, and Jeff Beck wasn't nominated.  How can you vote for #2 for #1?

Dandy-Pie:  I have to agree with you.  I was a little taken aback by Bon Jovi too.  You were sure to vote for Kiss out of the bunch left there.  Thanks for the illustration.

awesome:  I didn't look at all of the bands that had been eliminated already, but I know The Who was one, and maybe Cream.  So, if your favorite band isn't there, you might look to that for information.  I just know Jeff Beck wasn't mentioned.  And, I wondered how that happened.

I'm having a lot of trouble watching videoes right now.  I hope to have this handled this week.  Watching videos on this system (????) is like trying to drive a car that's missing on two cylinders - choppy at best, dead stopped at worst.  And the video and audio are not in sync.  So, please pardon me while I recover from this problem.

Christmas Carol

so goodfoods tells me.  In honor of his return to Brainking, I am posting this, probably my VERY fave Zydeco Band, Beau Soleil - Zydeco Gris Gris

Not only is the Zydeco, it's durned good music.

Jim Dandy:  Intereting literature on the net about this, it feels like they are saying Joel is passing the baton.  That's not the intent, IMHO.  Dillon is a good singer, and sings the song with a lot of power, granted.  Joel just wanted that power and youth to tell the story.

The thing that strikes me is this war is spurring music, which also happened during the Viet Nam war.  Maybe, if the music community keeps it up, somone will hear it.  Proliferate, proliferate, proliferate.
