Simpatico (coffee shop I frequent) had this on the radio today. My parents LOVED this song and if I understand it, it was one of the first anti-drug songs.

The Eagles released Life in the Fast Lane and people takes them for glorifying cocaine. The band replied to the allegations, asking them if these people actually listened to the song. The coked out couple have nothing but troubles after hitting the road.

Always loved that performance. Loved Hall+Oates, til they went too pop in the mid-80's.

Unsurprisingly, that's when they became most popular

I always thought these guys were garbage and then one of them started a video cast from his music studio where he has all these legitimate musicians in and he's actually really good.

Classic example of an act with supernova talent who went dumpster diving with a lot of lame pop because that's where they keep the money. Half of Ronstadt. Queen. Muse. Prince. Lightfoot. etc.

Unlike those guys, though, if there's a single non-cringe H&O song, I haven't heard it.

Theory: Piano Man is set at a gay bar and everyone is gay except for the Piano Man, and they're all taking bets on when he'll figure it out.

Listening to Living Colour's Cult Of Personality for... reasons.

Found this live version on my YouTube feed.

Vernon Reid is a heck of a guitar player.

He really is. They're all very good in my opinion. Back in high school the percussionists would be brought to a percussion symposium that was put on each year. One of them had Will Calhoun as a clinician. I joined the winter drumline just to go to that. He did not disappoint.
 
I can listen to this song over and over again. Boz Scaggs did a cover of this that I guess did well for him, but it just doesn't compare.



There's also a nine minute version from about 12 years after this one, with French guitar player Freddy Koella playing some amazing Spanish guitar, but I wasn't gonna post that one. If you're up for a four minute guitar intro, you can find it on Youtube.

I just heard "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins on a classic rock station, so if you need me, I'll be taking Centrum Silver and crying myself to sleep.
 
Weren’t you in grade school when that album was released? I remember that as being quintessential to my CD rotation during my senior year of high school.

Yeah, I've been hearing some of Beck's "Odelay" tunes pop up on oldies stations, too. It is somehow 25 years old.

Well, if you think about it, in 1976 when the oldies stations would be playing Rock Around The Clock, or some such, those songs were only around 20, maybe 25 years old at the most.

U2's Joshua Tree came out 34 years ago.

Stuff like that really freaks me out if i really think about it too much.

Still, stuff like Odelay, or Smashing Pumpkins do not belong on classic rock stations. "Classic Rock" to me, means being stuck in the 60's and 70's.
 
The “Nirvana Baby” is suing Nirvana for being exploited on the grounds of child pornography because of their Nevermind album. He’s said that it’s traumatized him to this day.
