| A perfect song? What are your choices? @bdp24 - I remember that Emmitt Rhodes album - that kind of singer/songwriter stuff was very popular when I was in college in the early 70's, and it did come out around the same time as Macca's first. Also agree that 'Starry Eyes' is a classic. ... | |
| Politics and Music @onhwy61 - Good choices! But the main point of The Clash, Bob Dylan, and Gang of Four was political, as were many of these songs listed by other artists. These songs didn't need to be 'politicized' - they pretty blatantly were to begin with. | |
| Politics and Music @crustycoot + 100 - excellent description of what happened. At 70 years of age and from MD, I certainly remember the Dixiecrats; Spiro Agnew got to be governor of Maryland because he ran as the liberal Republican, believe it or not; the Democrat ... | |
| Wall Art @allenf1963 - I see what you mean, Allen - thanks for bringing that to my attention; I'll talk to my web people about that. Meanwhile, you should be able to see them on Etsy - just remember that it's case-sensitive, and it's MyPixRock. Thanks! | |
| Wall Art BTW, if anybody wants to see my concert photos from the 70's but can't get into my Etsy shop for whatever reason, I also have my own website, www.mypixrock.com that you can see them on.... | |
| Hot Rats @bdp24 - respectfully disagree, but only about Zappa.... 'Grand Wazoo'! I dont know why I couldn't remember that name, but that's actually my fave FZ instrumental album, more than 'Waka Jawaka' or 'Hot Rats', both of which are also wonderful. | |

| Politics and Music @bdp24 - you forgot Kid Rock Old Man Pebble.... @bondmanp - why should an entertainer's opinions on politics or anything else be worth less than the opinion of a computer programmer, a banker, a fireman, you, or anybody else? | |
| Wall Art Well, since you asked, I was a concert photographer through the 1970's in the SF Bay Area, and have a lot of photos of a lot of bands who came through. I've got an Etsy store called 'MyPixRock' and have 8.5x11, 13x19, and 17x22 prints available. | |
| Hot Rats Hot Rats is great, and I love 'Willie the Pimp' with Capt Beefheart. But I like 'Waka-Jawaka' even better than 'Hot Rats'. I've seen Dweezil a few times, and that guy can SHRED; I prefer his guitar playing to his dad's, as it doesn't depend on wah... | |
| Politics and Music Great music can certainly be transformative in how we view the world. For me, that happened with Zappa's "We're Only In It For The Money", which I first heard back in 1969; came a bit late to that party! Bob Dylan likely changed a few folks' vie... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @mitchagain - 'I'm On Fire' by Dwight Twilley Band? Great choice - what a wonderful power-pop song that was! | |

| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? @johnto - indeed, Brian Epstein was the manager and had nothing to do with the recordings. Martin and Emerick it was! |
