Certainly a dark video...

LOL

Don't think I've ever seen that one!
Pretty cool video...

Speaking of rockets...
Missiles...
ICBMs and such...

How about some Luftballoons... (red ones)

I remember watching this like it was yesterday.I never knew what the incident was about...So now we know.

Elvis Costello and the Attractions were supposed to play ‘Less Than Zero' but only a few bars into the song, Costello put a stop to it. “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “but there’s no reason to do this song here.” At that point he and the band launched into “Radio Radio,” a song that takes a jab at corporate-controlled broadcasting. Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels was furious. According to some reports, he raised his middle finger at Costello and kept it up until the unapproved song was over. Costello was banned from the show for nearly 12 years. Elvis admits that he was copying Jimi Hendrix, who had done the same thing on the Lulu Show, when he went into an unscheduled rendition of the Cream song 'Sunshine Of Your Love'. The full recording of this piece is unavailable on youtube due to SNL or Lorne Michaels or somebody. This first portion of the song is the max allowed so far, although how long this will remain up is anyone’s guess.

Last night we fired up Qobuz and our Roon setup. Qubuz is a lossless Hi REZ digital streaming platform that plays anything you wish. Roon is the brains to get it too our theater. We been going thru all our albums and picking oldies we haven't played for years. Here's one we had on last night. It's from the early 80's.

Not to change the subject...
But, in light of the ongoing saga...

I see what you did there...
Kind of Beach Boy sounding...

What a lot of people don't know about Turtles is that their hit song Eleanor was in fact a spoof of their previous hit Happy Together. Lead singer Howard Kaylan had been so badgered by his record company to repeat the success of Happy Together that in exasperation he relented writing a spoof of it, while copying it's basic structure. He chose an unsexy girl's name, Eleanor (a name more likely to be somebody's grandmother!) and wrote funny lyrics. The record label loved it, so did the public. Still nobody gets it! but after you hear this story, it makes sense.

Last night our group won the local Music Trivia down to the Barn Pub. We go every Monday night for a few hours to duke it out with the youngsters. They usually win as when it comes to 2000 and up music we stink.We are kind of Analog....
