Thanks dude.. This last year has seen me attending quite a few tribute bands here in the UK. They may not be the originals but they don't have do good covers. Of course I still frequent major acts too and there are some fab gigs coming up in the next few months.

Getting back to my old friend joninliveron, who stared this thread back in November 2008, let's get back to our "favourite" music.

I was watching a PBS show this weekend, and re-discovered an old favorite of mine from the 60's Phil Ochs, a very underrated, but influential folk, protest singer, with a beautiful voice too.

Jon, it is so wonderful to have you back "home" with us, as you've been sorely missed.

In fact, I paid tribute to you in this post back in January, mentioning how this thread was started by you.

And you know how cool I think it is that you can get into the music from the classic rock and folk era of the mid sixties to the early seventies.

The site has changed a lot, mainly that David and the futon are now long gone, and the nature of the scenes have shifted several times since you were last with us.

But some of us core forumites are still here, and your favourite music thread thrives here too.

Welcome Home Jon!!! :welcome:

Thanks Mike. It's because of people like your good self that I decided to return. Talking about music of the 70s, I went to see Crosby and Nash live in concert last October (Dad would have loved it), and Elkie Brookes (remember Pearl's a Singer) in December. Two totally different genres but two great concerts.
 
I've had a Bob Dylan evening and been listening to Blood on the Tracks. I think this is possibly his best every album. KT Tunstall has covered quite a few songs from it, and she's darned good too.

That is terrific Jon! I consider Dylan a genius, and I love Tangled Up In Blue from that album.

Great choice of music for a Tuesday evening. ::angel:
 
For Your Amusement and Soul-Searching Ways

Dear Fellow Forum Music-lovers,

While my participation in this thread is almost non-existent, please don't think I fail to appreciate music in many forms. Here are a few topical ditties that touch on the "Vatican Scandal"; "Wiener Schnitzel"; and "your mortality and that of your fellow man". It is all presented in ragtime style music so there are no synthesizers used other than your own head (the lump on top of your shoulders). Also, since these came out in the early 1960's, just appreciate their timeless qualities with a minimum of your time invested.

Hope you at least get a slight smirk on your face! NO DEEP THINKING REQUIRED!


Sincerely just for fun,

There is something both humorous as well as touching and fitting about Bob Dylan receiving the medal of freedom from the President of the United States. Who would have believed it 45 years ago, when Bob Dylan represented the counter culture? I imagine President Nixon would have preferred to see him jailed. :001_unsure:

I like what President Obama said about Bob during the ceremony:

"There is not a bigger giant in the history of American music. All these years later, he's still chasing that sound, still searching for a little bit of truth, and I have to say that I am a really big fan."


I guess if one lives long enough it is possible to see anything.

Dear Mikeyank,

I've been a fan of Bob Dylan since I first entered college in 1966. He is about as "iconic" an musical artist/poet as any human can get! Admittingly I love his earliest recordings the most. Likewise, Joan Baez was with him at the very beginning. I feel she is equally great in her own unique ways and, likewise, deserves comparable praise for her lifetime dedication to great music.

There is no one else I would feel worthy to compare with Bob Dylan.


Sincerely,


Stimpy

Did anyone see the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert on Monday ? I must admit that some of the older guys like Elton John, Cliff Richard and even Paul Mcartney seem to have lost it voice wise. My fav bits were Ed Sheeran, Gary Barlow's duet with Cheryl (formerly known as Cheryl cole), Tom Jones and Grace Jones.

The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)

I heard the opening music for a Rod Stewart song earlier this week on the car radio. It was not this song, but it made me think of this most apropos song for Gay Pride Month. By the way, Rod looks very sexy in this video, and yes, "I do want his body". :001_cool:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uixc025fZRE&feature=related

This is the Wikipedia synopsis of this song:

The song's lyrics[1] tell the poignant tale of a friend of the narrator's, a homosexual man, the titular Georgie. The song follows Georgie through his life. At some point in his life, Georgie tells his parents of his sexuality. His father responds by saying "How can my son not be straight after all I've said and done for him?" He leaves home, bound for New York, cast out by his parents. He becomes successful and popular in Manhattan's upper class. The narrator visits him in Summer 1975, when Georgie tells him he's in love and the narrator responds by saying that he is pleased for him. Georgie attends the opening night of a Broadway musical, but leaves early with his lover. They decide to take a short-cut through an alley, where Georgie is attacked and killed by a New Jersey gang. The narrator then quotes something Georgie once said to him about living life while you're young, before your life ends. The song ends with the narrator begging him to stay.
 
Neil Young interviewed on BBC Radio 4

A rare Neil Young interview on BBC radio 4. I'm not sure if it's available to you in the States but I'll post the line at the bottom.

With John Wilson.

In a rare extended interview, the Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young discusses his latest disc, a selection of traditional songs, recorded with the uninhibited rock band Crazy Horse.

The album includes a version of God Save The Queen, the anthem Young recalls singing as a schoolboy in Canada.

Young, who topped the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic 40 years ago with his LP Harvest, also reflects on the role of the protest song in the age of the TV talent show, and considers his own instinctive approach to music-making, and his reluctance to become a crowd-pleaser.

Producer John Goudie.
