Mike,
Dang it, how could I forget that Neil Diamond song? I really like Neil Diamond. What a great song writer. And I loved the way you started the show. Nobody screams America louder than "The Duke", though he never actually served in the military.
Dan Fogleberg was another outstanding song writer, as I'm sure Randy Newman is too. However, I'm not familiar with his work whatsoever. But I did like the song you played by Newman.
You know, I immediately though of Pink Houses by Mellencamp, but for the life of me could not remember the lyrics and the fact that America is very prominent in them. Shame on me.
Good encore brother. Keep 'em coming.
I always enjoy your 2 cents, or however much you toss in, lol!
It's interesting to me to see where your mind is going, and although it is too late for shows already done, you are one of the people whose suggestions I take to heart and seriously consider before I do a show.
But I'll always first grab the ones I think of right away, or write them down, because those are the ones that accurately reflect me.
But I know someday there will be a few big glaring ones I SHOULD have thought of that you did, and a few of mine will get ditched, lol!
They are not so much bad bosses as stupid, but then, that may make them bad.
And I am not the easiest employee either...I have gotten to the point where I think "I work WITH you, I don't work FOR you!"
And I will be worse when I go back there.
Mike
Always remember, I definitely know you take your own path. I just enjoy throwing my 2 cents worth in on what songs come to my mind.
There is a movie out about bad bosses, maybe you should check it out.
RJ,
4 Parts altogether, and all your curiosity picked just one!
I tend to go off on my own path, lol!
But it will be interesting, I hope.
Someday I may play American Pie, but it's been done to death and it is so long.
I have an old version on tape somewhere that is even longer, where an engineer and I inserted music for all the references McLean makes- it explains the song to those who may not know.
But I doubt the quality is very good, and I don't think I could bring myself to do it again, what a lot of work!
Good line about the greatest document ever written, lol!
After the other day I had, I may be getting my last one!
Mike
A few observations before I listen:
If the word (or form of the word) America has to be in each song, then I imagine these songs would be in:
In America - Charlie Daniels Band
American Pie - Don McLean
Miss America - Styx
Miss America - Saving Abel (this is a joke, I know this song won't be played)
Bullet The Blue Sky - U2 (last word of the song)
But what about:
The band America
Breakfast In America (Supertramp album)
American Grafitti (Movie Soundtrack)
American Pie (Movie)
Just curious. I'm listening now.
Come Monday, those 235 years ago, the greatest document ever written, the Declaration Of Independence, was adopted by the Continental Congress.
There are no birthdays today
