Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

[stormchaser2014]

I'm sticking with my theory

Is it your best theory?

 

[jcyclonee]

My theory is he wrote the song first, then sunk the ship.

He probably wrote it that morning, before the snow came, in the Early Morning Rain.

This guy is on a roll!!!!

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Me too. It's almost as If You Could Read My Mind.

The dad jokes are STRONG with this man...

Wish I had more but that's the extent of Gordon Lightfoot songs I know off of the top of my head (or even using google). I guess Canadian Railroad Trilogy is another I know but it's pretty tough to be punny with that one. By the way, I believe that's the only song I know that uses the word "stew" in it.

I love the randomness of Youtube. Went through Edmund Fitzgerald to Ode to Billy Joe to One Tin Soldier. Now I'm rocking to Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

Funny. My library days start with dinner to a Meatloaf list on Spotify, then Pat Benatar when it's time to get fired up, and Bon Jovi when it's time just to maintain the roll.

Hmmmm...nothing like an onstage tonsillectomy by a sweaty, overweight man...

Love listening to him...don't necessarily like WATCHING him...

Why? He fills up the whole screen.

It's all that sweat...just kind of grosses me out.

That's fair. I sweat a lot, but not close to that level. He's out there.

And at any rate, I'm on the third tune - Bat out of Hell is done, it's Two Out of Three now.

Ooops - Meatloaf trilogy is over. Now it's Beth with painted faces & platform boots. It's live - the backup orchestra has painted faces also. Looks kind of silly when one of the horn players has giant glasses over the paint...

Meatloaf did a lot of the vocals on Ted Nugent's album "Free For All"

Changed from most to a lot. I think he did about half the vocals

 

[oldman]

Gordon Lightfoot didn't mess around, did he?

I think that song came out barely a year later.

Hopefully "Cone on and Love Me" is next so that you can hear these fantastic lyrics.

She's a dancer, a romancer
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer

You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror

I met Pat Benatar when she sang at the State Fair. She's about 5-foot-nothing, but has a personality as big as anything. A real class act.

Meatloaf did most of the vocals on Ted Nugent's album "Free For All"

My favorite Nugent song is "Light My Way" on that album. Fantastic guitar work.
