Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:21am Matt from Springfield:

Equality must be a milkshake then. For though some are thick and some thin, some lowfat and others full of it, and it comes in many flavors, it's all milkshake. You can't have "a little" milkshake drop over your head on you; you'd simply have "milkshake" on you.
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:21am Matt from Springfield:

Incidentally, that was some early Zevon!

While I ADORE the Groovies, I think DMZ's cover may be even better. Or not :-)
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:25am Andrew Waterloo:

@Holly: I never played DMZ on the radio, Holly! I should!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:25am Matt from Springfield:

And nice Tonetta! Kind of like "Leonard Cohen disco"...along with Douglas Hream Blunt a very specialized micro-genre can be created.
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:25am Joe McG:

Thanks, dknight23! Having a good time.
  Sun. 1/27/13 1:26am Holly in NC:

Just so you all know, I don't endorse Tonetta's viewpoints in any respect!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:43am Matt from Springfield:

"The Clapping Song" sampled the rhyme about the rubber dolly!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:45am Joe McG:

Tonetta should cover that song. It's really disturbing, right up his alley!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:47am Holly in NC:

That's actually Bobby Bare - he wrote Rubber Dolly for Bill Parsons, but record co released Bobby's own demo under Parson's name *useless information*
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:48am Joe McG:

Yay, Holly, I'm so glad you knew that! I was going to deliver the same very useless information on the mic break!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:48am Matt from Springfield:

@Holly: I can't use that at this time--but interesting to know!!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:49am Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: And remember, pronounce the last band "Le Hoodoo Gooroos" - it just sounds more fun that way! :)
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:50am Joe McG:

Thanks, Matt, I will definitely make sure to do that!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:51am Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Joe!
  Sun. 1/27/13 1:52am Holly in NC:

I'm a huge Bobby Bare fan

Elephant's Memory was also a new one for me and totally amazing

@Joe - that is a serious score, congrats!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:58am Matt from Springfield:

Trans "Mr. Soul"! I like this one--interesting commentary on his fame, redoing that particular BS one, years later after Neil became very famous. And in such a futuristic style!
Avatar Sun. 1/27/13 1:58am b:

Very underrated phase of Neil Young's career.
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 1:58am Matt from Springfield:

Yes and Begorah, Mr. Penguin!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 2:00am Matt from Springfield:

@b: Sometimes my SiriusXM display won't show the name of a song being played--don't know if that's an internal computer error or what. But one night, they played "Computer Age" from Trans without a title. I laughed, since I know exactly what it was, but those who don't are going to have NO f-in' clue!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 2:00am KP:

Top of the mornin to yea, Matt.
Joe, you will be on on the 17th. i'll tell you my Ronnie Drew story at that time.
  Sun. 1/27/13 2:00am Holly in NC:

Most excellent Neil, have grown into Trans (oddly, 1st time I saw Neil was on Trans tour)
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 2:00am Matt from Springfield:

Nice to know you're also in the select group of TransFans, b!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 2:03am Matt from Springfield:

@Holly: It's a somewhat harder to find, but Neil's DVD "Berlin" is excellent. It's his show in [West] Berlin in '83, half-Trans half-Crazy Horse/classics! They wear sunglasses and vocoders, and Nils Lofgren and the late Bruce Palmer figure prominently!
Avatar Sun. 1/27/13 2:03am b:

Computer Age is a GREAT track. Fell in love with that album thanks to his HBO concert special featuring that phase, including classic tracks. I think you can get it on DVD as "Live in Berlin." And David Geffen always *was* a wack job; he was the REAL "You" of "You're So Vain."
Avatar Sun. 1/27/13 2:04am Joe B:

Hey Joe! I actually saw Neil do that version of Mr. Soul in 1983! great to hear the Hoodoo Gurus also!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 2:05am Matt from Springfield:

Yay Joe! :)

@b: Great minds! And yes, I highly rec that performance. And it wouldn't surprise me a grain of sand if Mr. terrible hair Geffen was so vain!
Avatar ♥   Sun. 1/27/13 2:08am Matt from Springfield:

Awesome, Jim Price Television interview!
Glad you could be there, Joe Belock! Sounds great!
Avatar Sun. 1/27/13 2:10am Joe B:

the Neil show I saw was him doing the Trans stuff solo, unfortunately the band in the HBO show never toured teh US only Europe.

thanks for the plug Joe!
  Sun. 1/27/13 2:11am Holly in NC:

b & Matt, I'll def look for that footage. Sounds a lot like the show I saw in New Haven.

I always love "Town Called Malice"! Even though the music's an obvious lift of "Good Loving"! :)

I saw them in early in 68. They were still the Who Sell Out Who with perms and sequins. A few months later they completely remade image. Best show ever and ever amen by the way.

The Who. Best live band ever. Discuss.
