Classic Rock Bottom

ROCKOLLECTIONS: FATHERS DAY 2015 PT.1

Almost 10 years ago, I did a 3 Week Series about Fathers.
This will just be a one week abridged version- with some different Songs I didn't play back then.
There is some snarl in this Opening Half, a Pet Peeve of mine concerning those Deadbeat Dads, who impregnate women and then disappear.
Doing that doesn't make you a Father...or a Man!
I even have a couple of Songs tackling that.
But I'll start with some nice, Music that's Children About Fathers, then Fathers About Children- including a very popular song that you know, and have always heard with a bleep in it.
Not this time!

RJ,
Guess I agree about father songs...I guess, lol!
The part thats always made me laugh in the Johnny Cash song is the NEXT line,  "How do you do? My name is Sue. Now you're gonna DIE, LOL".
Seems everybody loves Leader Of The Band.
Johnny Cash, Johnny Rivers, John Denver, John Mellencamp, John Prine. 
A show full of John's and Johnny's, and it took you to point it out.
Until your mention, it was never a thought to me- wow, a subconscious something, lol!
John Denver for The Golden Pell, a song whose name I remembered but it was odd hearing it, like a song I never heard- so odd that I first pulled out the studio version and hardly knew it!
So I grabbed the live version because at least others in the audience knew it, lol!
Can't remember that happening too often!
But a nice song in any case.
Oh, I know you like Johnny Rivers, thought he might get the GP- check out that album Home Grown by him.
I've seen your posts on Blackberry Smoke so I know you are high on them.
Good song, real good, I'd play it!
Thanks for the listen and writing, and the song idea,
Mike

The least shocking...YEAH!

I managed to avoid any other giveaways, maybe only because I don't read everything you write, lol!

What did Ralph Kramden call his mother-in-law?

You're a BLABBERMOUTH...A BLABBERMOUTH!!!

I liked this one Mike.  It's hard not to like a song about fathers.  

That Groucho bit was very funny.  So was the Johnny Cash song.  I've always liked that one.  "How do you do? My name is Sue".

Ah, Dan Fogelberg.  Love Leader Of The Band.

The next two I didn't know.  But I was pretty sure that it was Johnny Rivers and John Denver.  Sure enough, that's who you said it was.

I have that Mellencamp album.  Like that song a good bit.  And you closed it with John Prine.  A show full of John's and Johnny's.  

I'm going with John Denver for The Golden Pell.  I like it.

Here's one by my current favorite band that would fit pretty good.  Father to Son:

Actually it was kinda the least shocking thing in that episode, at least to me. I knew the JS thing was coming just from reading stuff on the internet, but there's plenty more cool stuff to look forwards to, especially in the last three episodes of this season.

Comment by Mike Pell on June 15, 2015 at 9:48am

Yes, I have watched EVERY episode since the time it began!

I was shocked when Ned Starks got beheaded in the first season, then there was the Red Wedding!

I was saving this season for a binge- seems one shock will be missing!

Jon Snow "Spoiler" Stephenson will die by summer- 6 days, lol!

You really watch the show?

Now I feel bad.

Comment by Mike Pell on June 15, 2015 at 8:41am

Jon,

Hey Big Mouth, I've been recording Game Of Thrones all season, haven't watched any.

THANKS for telling me about Jon Snow!

If I had known you would, I would have AIMED all the depressing at you!

RJ,

No, but I had Rick Springfield's My Father's Chair, Like Father, Like Son, and also April 24,1981by him right next to me.

I am getting closer, lol!
But it just didn't happen, the Muse didn't call.

Again, which song would you have left out in either half instead?

Mike

After going to bed last night thoroughly depressed because of THE DEATH OF JON SNOW, I was looking forwards to something upbeat to listen to this morning.

It started off upbeat, but then it got more and more depressing, kind of like how I felt when JON SNOW DIED.

I forgot you didn't do a Mother's Day show, didn't really pay attention I guess. I did pay attention last night when JON SNOW WAS REPEATEDLY STABBED AND THEN HE DIED.

This might be a fine show but it does nothing to me. It's kinda like Jon Snow knowing nothing but now he really doesn't know anything since JON SNOW IS DEAD.
