Yep, a lot of the classic rock dudes are old or dying off.I was just playing a Cars album and decided to google Ric Ocasek - he will be 69 years old next month. $hit.
I think that's now defined as Oldies...Only a joke, but it's impressive these guys live into their late 60's and 70's the way they trashed their bodiesYep, a lot of the classic rock dudes are old or dying off.
Go to Youtube and watch the Just what I needed video at the Midnight Special. Larry Gatlin (!) introduces them. And I would recommend Cheap Trick's live version of Surrender. That drummer was a boss.I was just playing a Cars album and decided to google Ric Ocasek - he will be 69 years old next month. $hit.
Mommy's all rightGo to Youtube and watch the Just what I needed video at the Midnight Special. Larry Gatlin (!) introduces them. And I would recommend Cheap Trick's live version of Surrender. That drummer was a boss.
It seems rock itself is dying off. The category was left off the last Grammy broadcast. The rock awards were given, but off camera. Said Grammys have become a dance contest. I recently hear hip hop had displaced rock as the top genre.Yep, a lot of the classic rock dudes are old or dying off.
I always liked Cheap Trick. They really rocked but they maintained a little silliness that kept me from loving them. I guess I like my rock with a little mean edge. But now as the wife and I listen to the 80's satellite radio channel, I long for the days when guitar solos were common. Even metal bands have abandoned the solo. And when's the last time you heard saxophone outside of a HS band?Mommy's all right
Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey
Man that tune reminds me of just how much I had it made as an adolescent!! LOL!!!

Metallica and Motley Crue are on the classic rock stations now.And here I was thinking Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, REM, U2 & Collective Soul was the new stuff, and that's around 25 years ago.
I was dumbfounded when I realized In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins was released 36 years ago. Wow.
Last Saxaphone that I've heard off if decent tune was on "Who can it be now" from the popular Australian group that I cannot even recall the name of without Google'n it.I always liked Cheap Trick.

Damone in the poolhouse for $200.....Fast Times
You may be able to tell me if this is true or not, but I remember hearing or reading that the Cars mixed at least one of their albums through a set of Jenson speakers so it would sound best through the speakers in their fan's vehicles.My brother-in-law used to mix sound for bands like the Cars when he was struggling young sound mixer, but he sets up earnings calls around the world for all these fortune 500 companies... Great gig...
Because he's not of this solar system.Nobody in the solar system is as old as this dude
Actually this millennium started with 2001, but I digress.Know what makes me feel old? The kids that just signed in the class of '18 were born in this millennium.

The most beautiful woman you'll never touch.Who's the guy on the left?
I beg to differ - about the beautiful part. There's plenty of women more beautiful that I'll never touch.The most beautiful woman you'll never touch.
You wouldn't start with year zero. You'd start with January 1, year one. Even though you wouldn't be a year old until the end of that year, after your birthday you'd start on year 2. The 2nd millennia ended at the end of 2000 and the current one started Jan 1, 2001. And the first college football game of this millenium was won by the Gamecocks.How so? In theory time would have begun with year 0 and after twelve months it would have hit year 1. Same with birthdays. Just saying.

So are Pearl Jam and Nirvana.Metallica and Motley Crue are on the classic rock stations now.
It's a person who graduated from a school or something like that ain't it?What is an "album?"
Back in the day if you sold enough of them the RIAA would award you one in gold or platinum! Sort of like a merit badge I guess.It's a person who graduated from a school or something like that ain't it?
Dire Straits too....the RR Hall of Fame has inducted some rappers too which I dont understand. This should be for R&R, not rap. Rappers should be in the Rap Hall of Fame.The Cars are being inducted into the RR Hall of Fame this year. I'm sad that Benjamin Orr isn't around to see it.
