A half decent video I seem to remember from the "Purple Pain".

Saw him present an award on some z-list celeb awards show in England. He was dressed from head to foot in a pink body suit. He looked like a peeled prawn. The organisers had flown him over at great expense. He was accompanied to the stage by a couple of GIGANTIC minders and the only words he spoke were "Thanks be to God". Then he walked off and out of the building.

What a Jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alrighty then....

I was mentioning a song that may have crossed your path. Many times you'll hear something and not realize who it was by.

WHich song?

I wasn't listening to much radio on 1999. I was too busy listening to all the naysayers foretelling of the end of the world at 1 second past midnight 31 Dec. 1999.

The song was called 1999...

recorded in 1982...has it been that long?

I used to hear it at bull roasts and weddings, that sort of thing.

Again, we could spend a whole thread on bad 70's songs ("Eye sockets in flight, Afternoon Delight" (lol works better than skyrockets), or Beach Baby, Don't Rock the Boat, Thunder Island)....

But FloridaTodd's Beatles cut is a great example...songs by a band that should know better. (of course my orginal song, Don't Cry, was by Asia who obviously writes blatantly commercial pap and knew better).

Another Beatles song like that for me is "Honey Don't".

You obviously know what I am talking about methem. What a catch-22 that was. If you wanted to meet chicks you had to put up with that stuff and dance otherwise you end up a lonely prog-loving geek.

Can Doves actually cry?... do they have tear ducts? do we care if doves are unhappy... look one just shit on that guys car over there.... hey maybe it was a pigeon [aka flying rat] pigeons don't cry either as far as I know.... hmmm. Maybe Prince would cry if I told him the song sucks

Today the equivalent for that sort of stuff is probably the eurodance music...

Click "House" and then "eurodance"...

Cheap and cheesy: most would consider it much worse than the early disco...

Only if you wanted the shallow chicks.

I knew quite a number of chicks in high school school that loathed disco as much as I. Liz P., Liz K., Sam, Louise, and Mel were all good friends of mine. We listened to the same bands, we went to most of the same concerts, and we did many of the same recreational activities.

When I got to college, there were plenty of the (at that time the term was) JAPs but there were still normal chicks who listened to decent music. There was a band called Yasgur's Farm playing the college area watering holes. There were always women at those gigs looking for some drink, good tunes and reliving the era of free love.

...and I would never have been able to marry a woman who didn't have similar musical interests!
