Naw, being sedated takes the edge off. This world changes us, my man. I still know how to do it. Live and Let Die!!!

Nice thread with some solid picks. I was especially pleased to see the MC5 show up here.

Last year, I was relaxing at a bar in Lafayette La, (oilfield/offshore guys and biker hangout) with a cigar and a cold Dos Equis and the cute little barmaid (why hire ugly ones when UL is right there?) came around asking for requests, because she was gonna feed the jukebox. I requested that song, or "Anything by the Ramones; you pick...." She looked at me and asked "Who?"
I just got up and walked out.
I used to be more of a musical snob. But once I learned how damn much music is out there and realized that no one could possibly have true encyclopedic knowledge regarding all contemporary music released, (on the order of 50,000 to 60,000 albums per year) over the past years, my snobbery lessened. Oh...I still dislike...which is really better expressed as do not appreciate...plenty of music. Just not a snob about it. It's a lifelong journey for those of us who appreciate the art form.Last year, I was relaxing at a bar in Lafayette La, (oilfield/offshore guys and biker hangout) with a cigar and a cold Dos Equis and the cute little barmaid (why hire ugly ones when UL is right there?) came around asking for requests, because she was gonna feed the jukebox.

So...there I am spinning discs one night and the request line rings. Dude says..."Hey man, could you play some Deep Blue Banana?". I responded "Never heard of them and we don't have any in the studio". Dude goes, "What the hell kind of dj are you that you never heard of Deep Blue Banana? I thought you guys were the cool radio station". I ask the angry caller what he thinks of New Heavenly Blue. He says...."Who?" I say "Goodbye" and hang up the phone.
Now...I realize neither Deep Blue Banana, a band that does not appear to exist...and New Heavenly Blue, a Brubeck son (Chris) band that did exist...are The Ramones.

It would start right out with Detention, wouldn't it. After more than 50 years I still remember that word.

Her anthem for escapist druggie suicides. When you have nothing left to lose, instead of drowning in self-indulgence, you better take back from those who took everything from you. Make sure that things turn out with you calling them whiners.

The world had better pray that I never get to a place where I have "nothing left to lose".....
