WWFT?
Well, we know he was all for the music being played. I don’t know what he’d think of his holographic image being under someone else’s control. I don’t think it was in his nature to put up with...
I can buy into it, relax, and enjoy the show. But it wouldn’t hurt for the concession stand to serve up some actual galoot colagne to keep things in perspective. 🥔
Frankie and Johnny B Goode -
Dr. Presley moved the Chuck wagon away from the Berry bush that sickened Elvis the houndog.
I’m just considering one possible example of the expediency of this practice. Zappa shortened ‘Mothers of Invention’ to ‘Mothers’ with the formation of the vaudeville band, but he resumed using MOI...
Hoodoo Voodoo Woman -
Billy signaled ‘Wilco,’
& Koko commenced to Bragg, but Taylor had no interpreter.
The Thousandth and Tenth Day of the Human Totem Pole In My Basement -
The Captain did not Bow, but would say ‘Wow’ when he tasted the Beef Heart.
Wish You Were Here Come the Warm Jets -
Brian’s being in the Pink dEnoted his adhering to Dr Floyd’s advice.
Without looking at the link on the OP, ‘hologram tour’ seems most hokey. It would’ve been interesting if they had marketed this as a concert tour of alumni musicians and allowed the hologram to be...
What if a projection of diamonds, rubies and emeralds is their form of payment?
I’ve found that being completely honest may be deemed discourteous and irresponsible, and can illicit an undesired response or be ignored. Either way I’ve been frustrated at times, drawn into a...
Mellow Yellow Submarine - Shean Donovan never coached for the Cairo Scarab Beatles.
I’m sure that Frank would agree with you on the live Cruising For Burgers. It’s marvelous. But the Uncle Meat version remains definitive for me in all its percussive thud-like, clarinet and farfisa...
Karn Evil 9 to 5 -
Ms Parton thinks a Dolly is needed to move the Emerson record player to Palmer Lake.
The Load-Out.
No studio version.
Honey Don’t Cry For Me Argentina -
While Perkins saddled up the pony, Lupone played Patti cake with Carl.
OP: Thank you for your responses. I’d just like to recap our submissions here (am including songs mentioned in ‘asides.’):
General Cinema Bumper
Giant - GG
Baby Elephant Walk - Henry Mancini...
It Keeps You Runnin’ Down A Dream -
The extinguished Doobie was a Heartbreaker for Tom, while the Brothers thought it Petty.
Down By the River People - Neil’s opinion that Young people aren’t so interested in the Weather has been deleted from his Report.
To Be Over Under Sideways Down -
Yes, Hitchcock tossed raw meat into his back Yard for the birds.
Well, I’m not a big baseball fan. But, a few years ago a friend invited me to a game she’d been given tickets to, and later asked me what my walk-up song would be. ‘There Are Many Ways to Say I Love...
Smokin’ (Empty, Try Another) Brick in the Wall - Joni told Floyd that Mitchell is pretty in pink.

In this day and age, we don’t stand for dead air, even if it only lasts 15 seconds. It’s the player’s prerogative to make a choice, otherwise he/she is leaving it up to some yahoo to decide what...

Sure. Why not? These are all good.
...I’m guessing Progeezer’s talking about Aqualung?
As far as honesty goes, I think a certain amount of hype goes with the territory.
I don’t know that one. Had to hear it...

So, you’re a professional baseball player, and you’re next at bat. Please share your walk-up song here...
After not so much consideration, I’ve settled on the following for myself:
...
After school at a friend’s house, he’d often play a mix-tape that included selections from ITCOTCK. Initially, the music didn’t grab me.
On rotation at home were the likes of CSN&Y, Simon &...
I don’t know. My Uncle planned out his funeral ceremony, including several songs that were played over the PA that were profound to him. Yeah, he was 99, but tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us. We...
Orchestral Favorites
Experience has me wondering if the purpose of playing music isn’t more for the consolation of those around the deathbed than for the person who is dying. When my Mom went under hospice care, we...
Ten Years After
Beefheart:

I read this one years ago, and it’s pretty good.
On googling it, I see that there are now other books on Beefheart.

Authors like Anthony Burgess and Tolkein are inspired in their knowledge of other languages to create new words. Someone who shares that knowledge may understand their meaning.

Regarding the double duo: Live in Milan ‘03 is very good and opens with a wonderful 25 minute soundscape.
Maybe you’ve read this interview from Downbeat ‘83. I hadn’t, and found it pretty informative...

Excerpt:
I think it’s all relative. I play piano by ear, composing my own stuff. For me, sitting down and learning to play someone else’s song, being subject to established ‘rules,’ is a creative process....
I haven’t responded because Black Market is what comes to mind, and I figured Weather Report to be at least partially outside of prog perimeters. But, if Traffic makes the cut, I reckon it’s okay.
I move that we found a Rock and Roll Hall of Infamy. Maybe more suitable for Roxy Music.
From ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Induction Process...’

Or maybe they’re in prison... Or maybe ranking all 183 songs was a condition of probation.
What is offensively stupid insults one’s intelegence. I never felt insulted by that title. It’s just the name of a song.
Thank you for sharing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard any of the album, and this was nice to listen to on the first Saturday I’ve had off from work in a couple months.
Yeah. One finds other qualities to appreciate in Queen’s music while attempting to identify what is proglike.
From Guitar Player magazine, 1977:
“Q: Are there guitar players you listen to?
FZ: There are a few that I've heard recently who I think are real good. I like Brian May of Queen-I think he's...
Listening to ‘Barbarian’ and ‘Toccata’ back to back, I think the “gutteral” and “glassy” contrast of the hammond sound is mostly due to differences in recording/mix. However, on ‘Toccata,’ one also...
The interviewer could brief them on prog’s progress.
I wasn’t talking about the final, embellished arrangement. I just don’t think Anderson can be ruled out as a likely source of the basic chords. ...Anyway, it’s a good question.
One doesn’t have to be a musician to hear chords in one’s head, and then have a mind to sit down at a piano and pick at notes until said chords are realized.
I’d prefer listening in on a group discussion to conducting an interview. Round up Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel & Neko Case and serve some tea.

Influential across the board.

Last night I actually dreamt I was sitting cross legged, half watching tv, when a clip aired for a crime drama starring George Kennedy. I looked up to catch a quick glimpse of the...

That be entirely TOO correct.
What other thread?
Two instances when someone actually said ‘turn it up’... “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” and “Classical Gas.”
Can’t say I’ve ever acquired anything by Tom Petty.
Based on what I’ve heard / seen of his music and life over the span of time, it seems to me that “American treasure” might be an apt...
