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.

[stevenash]

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

[khicks26]

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

[khicks26]

khicks, you will love the beginning about the oppression of the Native Americans by the white man

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?

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]

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.

Depends how you see things...you see things one way and I see your big blue Democrat Machine as the oppressors nowadays.

The American Jesus is inside you. Are you fearful?

[khicks26]

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

[khicks26]

Me?
I loved Zappa, Chicago too.

I played horn back in the day, James Pankow was an influence when I first started playing.
Peter Cetera ruined that band after Terry Kath blew his brains out.

The horn intro here grabs you by the throat from the start and doesn't let go.
This is as good as it gets.
The lead in, or crescendo if you will at 3:20 makes my hair stand up.

Surprised you're not a Zappa fan.

OK speaking over played music which we all know is a problem post a well-known song you will never get tired of.

adding.

[khicks26]

My father loves Motown and doo wop and that is all he plays at gatherings and events and has totally killed any enjoyment for me slowly over the years.

I always thought it was "Chino" myself, but I heard Fagen say it's "Geno"

The one I know for a fact was G. Gordon Liddy, the other Rudy Giuliani.
Both were high profile DAs, and the song is about a drug bust (pot) in Fagen's old school.

I have a little trouble with Giuliani because at the time the song was written Rudy would be just starting out as a federal prosecutor.



As far as funk bands go, I don't think any band did it better than TOP.

That's pretty fuking cool, I like that.

Dam I was way off, here is what Genius Lyrics says which lines up with what you said.

A 2006 Entertainment Weekly article, “Back to Annandale” explains the backstory of “My Old School.”

But just outside of Adolph’s, he sees it. The house. ‘'Right there is the house that I was busted in,’‘ [Donald Fagen] says, gesturing toward a two-story structure nearby. Here, finally, lies the story behind ’‘My Old School.’'
It was around 5 a.m., a Thursday in May 1969, when a swarm of sheriff’s deputies descended on Bard, sweeping through dorms and off-campus residences, including this small house, where Fagen lived with a roommate. ‘'They went up and down the halls, knocking on doors,’‘ says [friend] Terence Boylan, who was in his room at Ward Manor at the time. ’‘Toilets were flushing everywhere to get rid of any pot that you had. I threw mine out the window. All you had to do was say to the cop, 'What are you doing?’ They’d say, ‘That’s it, resisting arrest.’ Somebody would say, ‘What the hell is going on?’ ‘Oh, profanity! Arrest him.’‘’ Fagen, Becker, and Fagen’s girlfriend, Dorothy White, were all dragged off to jail.


For the longest time when I was a kid I thought Chicago was an all black band. LOL

Does Dad play this one.

[khicks26]

Been a fan of Bad Religion since the early 90s when I was in high school. One criticism of them is many of their songs sound very similar.

True, but this song is a little different.

[khicks26]

Motown was and still is one of my favorite genres.

Yes, born and raised in NJ originally.

Hint: Let's just say "Geno" and "Daddy G" are pretty much hated by the liberal/democrat party.

Born and raised just outside of Detroit, so I have to like Motown.

So, they are politicians (good clue) song was released in 1973 so first guess is Nixon and Kissinger. Problem is there is a Cal line in the song before the names and a US Mail line after so those two don't make sense.

The lyrics I looked up say Chino and Daddy G but that doesn't mean its not Geno they get shit wrong all the time.

Just a guess, I will go with Chino a town in Cal and Daddy G being Reagan? I'm totally lost here.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

You're not wrong about that. But you're not totally right either.

This is what makes the Temptations great.
Almost six decades later, the lyrics still hold up today.
I love funk, the Tempts had it all, the moves, the grooves...
David Ruffin is an all-time great.
