I heard "Vote for Me" by Joe Walsh on KPIG.  Quite amusing, but probably too long to get played here.

longer than ELP??  I'd forgotten how, er, epic this is.
doesn't anyone else get a headache from these synth patches?

ooo! ELP, "Fanfare for the Common Man"! BOS and proxy of shray!
In my first post-graduation house, we often played this music at full volume the day after a party.  The goal was to irritate hungover people, which it did quite effectively.  It became known as the "Traditionary Music".  Silly memories...

By the way, I heard "Vote for Me" by Joe Walsh on KPIG.  Quite amusing, but probably too long to get played here.

TANC. One summer when I was in college, I threw a big party at my parents house for all my dorm pals while the folks were away on vacation (natch). My folks then lived in a good-sized house out in the country in the Sierra foothills, a great place to get one's youthful party on. Had about 30+ people stay over, and people were crashed out all over the place, inside, outside, under trees, on the deck, etc. So one of my high school friends dragged my speakers out onto the deck at about 6am as the sun was coming up, and blasted this song. The people who were sleeping out doors said it was just wild to hear the horn fanfare at the beginning come wafting thru the trees. And yeah, some of the more hungover folks were not so charitable.
Let's get right to it.

would love to hear some Joe Walsh here.  I don't know "Vote for me" but didn't he (sort of) run for VP a while back? like in the Reagan years?

LBJ into ELP--a nice start indeed (and a shoutout to the amazing Aaron Copland).


My college radio station signed on in the morning with a classical show, The Breakfast Concert, and it always began with a pastoral thing from Copland -- "Appalachian Spring"?  Lovely.

has anyone already voted? and if so, how long did you have to wait?
a couple of my co-workers said they tried to early vote, but the lines (in SF) were too long already before 7 AM

I was in line just before 7am in Alameda, out the door by 7:17 (voter 10).  The line was getting pretty long by the time I left.

I thought he ran for prez in '92 (?), the year after he had "Ordinary Average Guy" out.

Per Wikipedia:
Quote
Walsh ran a mock campaign for President in 1980, promising to make "Life's Been Good" the new national anthem if he won, and running on a platform of "Free Gas For Everyone." Though Walsh was not old enough to actually assume the office, he wanted to raise public awareness of the election. He then ran again for vice president in 1992 and was unsuccessful.

I remember the presidential shtick in '80, but I'd forgotten about '92.

your avatar is scaring me, princess. Have you seen "I've Loved you So Long" -- French film with Kristin Scott-Thomas?  It opened here last week to some rapturous reviews.
