<p>Jon,</p>
<p>Very good Live-Aid version.</p>
<p>But I preferred the regular video.</p>
<p>I was sitting here thinking they took a lot from Fritz Lang's classic silent film "Metropolis", and at the end they mentioned the movie.</p>
<p>Thanks for both, they are interesting to me who would not have seen them otherwise,</p>

<div><font size="3">So you listen to internet radio, and have found some good ones without commercials- well hell man, you found MINE, LOL!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And I can be almost as annoying as that British guy!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Nice guesses on Elvis and Rush, I love it when people anticipate what I might play and hit it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Funny, we all thought that Queen song sucked initially.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But something made us change our minds- for me it was having the lyrics finally waft into my head.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Of course you realize I have never seen the video, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Bruce was decent, that's big coming from you!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That last song was by Bob Lind, and I go way back with & without it and cannot think anything that sounds similar.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I can't even think of another person covering it!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I have played it before here, maybe that's what you heard.</font></div>

<p>I have not listened to "regular" radio for many, many years now and it's because you hear the same stuff over and over, plus the commercials. We have satellite, but there's no commercials on the stations I listen to? </p>
<p>While working I listen to internet radio, and have found some good ones without commercials. There was one where some British guy talked on and on about buying something so the station would still be free to the listeners and I swear it went on for about 20 min before I…</p>

<p>While working I listen to internet radio, and have found some good ones without commercials. There was one where some British guy talked on and on about buying something so the station would still be free to the listeners and I swear it went on for about 20 min before I found something else. Quite annoying. </p>
<p>Hey, I guesses on Elvis and Rush! Elvis (either one) I could care less about, but Rush is different. As for that Queen song, when I first heard it, I thought it kinda sucked. But then I saw them perform it at Live Aid and that performance changed my mind. Since then I have admired that song, plus the video is cool to boot. </p>
<p>Bruce was a decent song, still doesn't make me a fan though. Van Morrison is always good, and that last song I swear I have heard before, but not by Bob Lynn or it reminds me of a different song. Not bad, but familiar?</p>

<p>I listened to Rush and Queen's debut albums right after I listened to this show. As a matter of fact, the Question Of The Week on the main page deals with those two albums.</p>

<div><font size="3">And what makes me feel terrific is that probably because of its context in the show, that Queen song took on a new meaning for you.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I felt the same way about it, silly titile and refrain, until one day the lyrics jumped out at me and I realized how serious it was.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Another one of the things that makes Music so much fun.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Go forth and listen to a Rush album and a Queen album, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">ALRIGHT...somebody here likes a Bruce song!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Although Jon hasn't said anything yet, he'll probably disagree, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It's in the used cd store already? Only came out in 2007.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Seems you go for the Elvis Costello songs, maybe it's time to get some of his albums.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But at the buzzer the Golden Pell was snatched by Bob Lind!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">No kidding, Scott Muni for a couple of years when they started playing Rock worked on WNEW-FM live seven days a week (they ALL did!) for FIVE hours a day, 2 to 7 PM!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">After a few years of that, he and the others taped one day's show, so he was on for 6 days with one off, Saturday.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I remember that so well because I had no watch as a kid, but every day I could tell when it was about 3 minutes to 7- I'd hear that Elusive Butterfly!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Funny the things you look back on with such warm affection.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">By the way, I've always preferred the John Hartford version of Gentle On My Mind- he wrote it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Nothing against Glen Campbell's version.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And guess who used to play Hartford's record?</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Why, Scott Muni of course, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Thanks for listening & writing,</font></div>

<p>Nice show McMike. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Van Morrison for openers. It's okay, but probably my least favorite song on this show. It seemed like it was 20 minutes long. That being said, it was still okay.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Some big names. I was thinking of that Rush song right before you played it, but couldn't think of the name of it to save my life. And the Queen song was never one of my favorites. Actually, I disliked it. But, now it sounds so much better. I think that's the first time I…</p>

Actually, I disliked it. But, now it sounds so much better. I think that's the first time I really listened to it. Now I wanna listen to a Rush album and a Queen album.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I like that Bruce song. He get's no love from the regulars around here, but that's a good song, I don't care what Jon says. It's fairly heavy for a Bruce track. I've seen that cd in the used cd store, might pick it up next time I'm in there.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And Elvis Costello all but had this Golden Pell in his hand, then you played that last song. Bob Lynn I think you said. That's gorgeous. Very reminiscent of Gentle On My Mind by Glen Campbell. Bonus points for that. And the Golden Pell to Mr. Lynn.</p>
