Never knew this song was written about Jim Morrison. Some interesting facts about Cooper and Morrison as the song plays.

Yea a lot of emotion in that tune. Always good to hear.

You may have been born in Jersey Nash, but your all Midwest. I mean that in a good way.

Thank you for that.

My MLB buddy Brandon is from Minnesota, he writes for the Twins, he's good people.
I've been to Chicago a few times, never disappoints.

I have a lady friend in Milford Indiana.
Hoosiers are folksy, Hoosiers tend to be grounded, down to earth folksy.
Ever been to Kosciusko County in Indiana, she lives on the outskirts of Amish country.
Believe me when I tell you it's so open out there you can bury a body, and it might be twenty years before it's discovered.

I love pretty much everything about the Midwest.

Have you ever heard the entire twelve minutes of Chicago's "Ballet"
This might be the best twelve minutes of music you'll hear today.
Talk about emotions, trombonist James Pankow (who did almost all the horn arrangements for the band) closes this like a freight train.
You'll find yourself during the last minute saying to yourself "Come on bring it, bring it..."
So good it brings tears to my eyes.

Yeah its a different world in the Midwest. People you don't even know say hello to you.

Funny story from my wife about the Midwest.

She had a job at a city that was being investigated for discrimination by the government. So, her boss tells her there are people from DC coming in on this date. So, the day comes, and she goes and gets them coffee and bagels for when they get there.

Well, the Feds are a little taking back as she tells them there is coffee and bagels for them in the break room. One says to her, you know we are here to investigate you right? She says yeah. The guy reply's "Only in the Midwest" and laughs.

Chicago is one of those bands for me if you tell me the name of a song I more than likely don't know it. If you play it more than likely I will know it. I have heard that song before but not sure if it was all together like that. When I was growing up Chicago got a lot of play on the radio around here. That's really the only way I know their music.

If you like Chicago you have to like Traffic and the Moody Blues. Two other bands that got a lot of play around here.

**stevenash** · 03-08-25, 08:45 PM

You bet I like Traffic; you'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Steve Winwood fan than me.
(Like you say, good music is good music).

Winwood was fronting Spencer Davis Group when he was fifteen, and I think he was like nineteen when he joined Traffic.

Who fronts a big-time rock band at the age of fifteen?
When I was fifteen my aspirations were just to make All State trombone, Winwood's a rockstar at fifteen.

Wow.

And I believe Arc of a Diver was one of the top ten best albums of the eighties.

Yea Winwood is a generational talent. I think he wrote or co-wrote most of the songs in those bands. Who is that worldly at 15 and 19?

What? It's not that I love Native Americans being oppressed by the white man. Its the fact that Maiden is telling the truth about our history though art.

**khicks26** · 03-12-25, 06:12 PM

One of the band members must have a degree in History.

**stevenash** · 03-12-25, 06:17 PM

Yes, that's the great Jools Holland on the keyboard.
Squeeze, so highly successful yet vastly underrated.
