Just a few words.
Letting the music do the talking.
First up, Chuck Berry schoolin' Keith Richards
"That's the way Chuck Berry plays it...you understand?"
How about this one?
Lead singer of ths group had five hit singles with five different bands. No lie.
Name's Tony Burrows.
Google him if you don't believe me...and I know none of you do.
Love grows where my rosemary goes...I like that.
No apologies on this. Flo and Eddie (the two misters on lead vocals) are the coolest lead singers in any pop band. Ever...and the lyrics?
"Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind Tell me that you love me better"
Never mind that etcetera line.
That's 'effin good.
I could post about a dozen clips of the Turtles. The Turtles Rule...the Turtles were cool..the Turtles were better than the Beatles.
Right Ross?
Oh and Howard Kaylan (Eddie) is a facebook friend of mine... so we're tight, right?
Please buy his new book, "Shell Shocked: My life with the Turtles, Flo and Eddie, Frank Zappa, etc.".
God knows he's asked me enough times.
How's this for a hook?
"I know who I want to take me home?"
That's gold.
That song was from 1998. That's a little too current for me....it's only 15 years old.
I've got to get back to my era.
Ahhh, this is more like it.
any Paul McCartney song written after he died in that car crash in 1967 was actually written by Paul Simon.
OK.
One more.
Let's go Canadian on this one.
Who doesn't love Canada?
Guess Who?
Oh, and the Wolfman references pompatus in this one.
Listen up folks... as my friend Bruce said
,
"My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine she's a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of jersey"
I have NO IDEA what he was talking about.
Much love until the next time.
