I happened across the following video that someone actually took the care to record and post onto YouTube:
The video owner’s set-up text reads as follows:
Some of my Dads collection of Jefferson Starship
I find the entire notion of this video and the son’s introductory comment to be weirdly fascinating and touching.
For this week’s Last Man Standing we seek songs that either walk or run—or both, as the case may be. Your entries should only include songs with titles involving the verbs “to walk” or “to run,” including their gerund forms. Songs about trotting, skipping, jogging, and scampering don’t qualify.
EARLY-GAME RULE ADDITION (1/14/14 @ 12:07 pm): Please alternate walk and run entries. For instance, if you see a “walk” song as the latest comment, try to follow it up with a “run” song.
If you’re new to participating in a Last Man Standing thread, which usually lasts until eternity or the end of our collective knowledge on a given topic, please limit yourself to one entry per comment. In other words…
Sounds of the hall in roughly 33 1/3 minutes!
In tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Shut-In, your Moderator celebrates Rock Town Hall’s seventh year in public blog form and pledges to take this place to the next level (not saying if it’s gonna be up or down) in 2014. To be fair, you may not consider this our seventh year at this URL. Perhaps you don’t abide by the Christian calendar. Perhaps I counted wrong (we started this place on January 12, 2007, if you want to check my math). Nevertheless, critics will consider this a truly remarkable episode, even by our usually remarkable standards. We’ll keep setting ’em up; you keep knocking them out!

This performance of “Let It Ride” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive makes me hungry! I can’t help but think of eating a big steak dinner. Every member of the band has spectacular Look that suggests Big Steak Dinner. In fact, I’m about to cook up some beef tacos to at least partially satisfy my hunger.
If given the choice to feast on the members of ZZ Top or the members of BTO, which band would you eat?
Remember the old cartoon trick, where the hunter looks at the hunted and sees the image of a fresh, steaming steak in the place of the hunted’s face? That’s how I feel as I watch this clip—and I’ve watched it a half dozen times already.
Try watching this clip and describe which member of BTO is most appetizing. Please be descriptive, because I can never keep straight which guy is Bachman, which is Turner, and which is Overdrive.
I look forward to your comments dinner!
Loading ...This cool interview mrclean sent me a few weeks ago with Pere Ubu synthesists Allen Ravenstine and Robert Wheeler reminded me of something that’s missing from the pile of musical stuff I’ve collected in my garage studio over the years: an analog EML modular synthesizer. Although I’m sure I would never figure out how to use one properly, if I could even figure out how to set it up, I want one.
What’s your Rock ‘n Roll Gear Holy Grail?
Is it possible that Curtis Mayfield & the Impressions‘ “I’m the One Who Loves You” is so strong a song that not even a cheesy ’80s cover by Santana can ruin it? You tell me…after the break!
