I enjoyed this show Mike, although there was only a few songs played.
The opener was terrific. I love the lyric about the men upstairs that want to see how much you will pay for what you used to get free. Can't remember the exact lyric, but something like that.
And that second track was just great. I loved it lyrically the most, but overall a really cool song. Can't remember the name as I listened on my iPhone while raking leaves earlier today. Something about somebody Lowenstein or something like that. But it was really great. I can't remember who he said he played Madonna after, but that line and others like it just sounded great.
I remember the story also. It was good. And the Kinks were good. I'll give the Golden Pell to the Lowenstein song. Just terrific.
By the way, it took me this long to get to this show because the big boss was in town last week and totally messed up two of my music listening days at work. And I was off Friday so I didn't get to it then either. Always better late than never.
Jon,
Yes I played The Ballad Of The Sandman a year and a half ago, when Pete Fornatale died- I got it from Pete.
It is a fantastic story, but if you listen everything rhymes so it is truly a wonderful poem.
Except for when he says "You deal with all the crazies, and the drugged-out suicide calls, and the sponsors and the FCC have got you by the throat"- it should have been "got you by the balls".
But being a gentleman, he softened it.
I do LOVE MY KINKS!
Not an old show at all, those songs said what I wanted them to about precisely what happened.
And of the only 4 things in there, I don't think I played Rex Bob Lowenstein (another terrific story), when Pete died.
Thanks my man for the listen and writing, you are on the case,
Mike
I've heard that poem before. Don't know if you posted it or I heard it somewhere else. It is very interesting....FOR A POEM. Beauty is that you really don't notice it's a poem, it's a STORY....
THE KINKS!
Hey, is this an old show?
