Great read worth the time.

John Oates had six number one hits, twelve straight in the top ten, 34 songs in the top 100.

He knew how to write a hit.

I like this poem.

Fiction 

Howard Nemerov

The people in the elevator all

Face front, they all keep still, they all

Look up with the rapt and stupid look of saints

In paintings at the numbers that light up

By turn and turn to tell them where they are.

They are doing the dance, they are playing the game.

To get here they have gone by avenue

And street, by ordinate and abscissa, and now

By this new coordinate, up. They are three-

dimensional characters, taken from real life;

They have their fates, whether to rise or fall,

And when their numbers come up they get out.

Great show Saturday night.

Thanks Rob!

This is a shot I took before the show.

The old church had a comforting velvet soft vibe.

I was listening. 

 

What did 1967 people think the world would be like in 1999.

What this short film and find out.

Soothing dreamlike inspiration.

Spend a few minutes.

Like a lawn chair for your mind.

Nope.

Never give up folks.

More Than A Feeling was recorded in a basement.......

Tom Scholz was about to give up after years of rejections.

One last try.

One more.

More Than a Feeling
Tom Scholz

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away

Interesting stuff.
