In Memoriam, Happy Birthday / Happy Birthday, Henny Youngman!
« on: March 16, 2011, 09:17:16 AM »Comedian Henny Youngman, born in this day in London (1906).
"Take my wife — please"
"I was so ugly when I was born, the doctor slapped my mother."
He said, "When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."
And, "A man says to another man, 'Can you tell me how to get to Central Park?' The guy says no. 'All right,' says the first, 'I'll mug you here.'"
And, "The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret."
And, "Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means."
And, "My grandmother is over 80 and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle."
And, "A Jewish woman had two chickens. One got sick, so the woman made chicken soup out of the other one to help the sick one get well."
And, "I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up — they have no holidays."
And, "I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places."
And, "Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it."
And, "You have a ready wit. Tell me when it's ready."
And, "My dad was the town drunk. Most of the time that's not so bad; but New York City?"
And, "If at first you don't succeed ... so much for skydiving."

« on: December 20, 2010, 07:31:58 AM »
Nice start to the week with 1970!
EJ's Your Song - very purty
David Bowie The Man Who Sold The World - BOS, and I have to say I became a little tired of Nirvana's version a while back.
George Harrison's He's SoFine Lordy gets another BOS from me.
scene from Little Big Man, Dustin Hoffman telling Richard Mulligan's General Custer that if he goes down there (to Little Big Horn) "there'll be nothing left of you but a greasy spot." Of course, the blowhard (as portrayed) Custer thinks the "Mule Skinner" is using reverse psychology and, well, history tells the rest of the story.
Buddy Miles - Them Changes - diggit
Steven Still Love The One You're With -- ok, next?
Emitt Rhodes - Promises I've Made..?? NTM. nice.

Stream of Consciousness / Veterans Day virtual 10 at 10
« on: November 11, 2010, 12:03:19 PM »
Too bad KFOG missed the chance to do a Veterans Day set. I didn't even think of suggesting one via FB to AL, but maybe for next year the groundswell of support (we're about to generate, here, with this topic!) will reach her. I don't have anywhere near the all encompassing or encyloedic knowledge of rock or pop that some here have, but I'll start off wit my two cents, putting down what will probably be obvious:
Veterans Day 10 at 10 - (Hypothetical)
Unknown Soldier - The Doors
Over There - George M. Cohan
In The Navy - Village People
Born In The U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - Better Midler
Ballad of the Green Berets (HFH)
Generals and Majors - XTC (I know, uber Morey-fave bordering on Katrina)
Sky Pilot - The Animals
there are countless news and movie clips we could use, among them:
The mean sgt from Full Metal Jacket ("Fatbody!")
Sgt Hulka (played the fantastic Warren Oates) from Stripes ("Lighten up, Francis.")
The Best Years of Our Lives
Officer And A Gentleman ("..Steers and queers..")
etc

1976... Nice to hear Thin Lizzy's Cowboy Song, then they play Roxy's Love is the Drug ... isn't that from 75?
ETA: Love is the Drug: Wikipedia says "...reaching number 30 in early 1976 on the U.S. pop singles chart and doing even better on progressive rock radio." so there you go.

Monday, it's 1976 - I think Mike will want to hear this replay!
Aerosmith Last Child
Wings Medicine Jar (NTM, not Paul singing, and I always thought Wings was just Paul McCartney and his wife and others, I really had no idea until late that it was real whole "band".)
marley Positive Vibration - I sometimes feel like you hear on regae tune you've heard them all. Then I realize that's close minded, and I don't feel that way. But then I come back and say OK, you can play as many diff reggae tunes as you want, but there really no need to play anyone other than Bob Marley, jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh
Tubes! Don't! Touch me there!
Billy Joel - Say Goodbye to Hollywood - perennial RGM fave gets epic

KFOG's 10@10 / 27 April 2010: another "classic" from 1981
« on: April 27, 2010, 10:01:11 AM »
Webster said something about his Pink sleeveless English Beat t-shirt fitting well here.
ETA: it's not '83, but '81. Pretenders give us a Message of Lurve, aka sexting.
