What Are You Listening To?

^^^Lol!! That’s all very hilarious!! I have quite enough trouble steering my own little planet thanks, which wobbles off course with alarming regularity.

BTW - I think people should stop using that megalomaniacal narcissistic idiot’s name! It’s on the tips of everyone’s tongues - plastered all over every type of media and I believe that gives it (and by default, him) enormous power. I refuse to utter the word at all – ever - even at the turn of a friendly card ….

It’s a one woman protest at this point, but hey – who knows – it might catch on.

Yeah, Trump is everywhere on the news which is half the reason I don't like watching it. I don't need to hear nor see him 24/7 and the media goes nuts when he says something controversial or crazy as if it's a surprise and everyone must know it. It gives him the attention he wants anyway. He's a walking ratings fest.

COLD CHISEL "cold chisel" vinyl/cd 1978

career stats:
studio albums.............8
singles......................27

this album.................#31 AU
singles:
"khe sanh"................#41 AU

debut set from Barnesy and the lads....
their best album by far IMO...
full of raunchy blues rock/ rhythm and blues and a ballad or two...
unfortunately, the chart placings don't represent the quality of material on the album...
this album is better than anything AC/DC ever released (the exception being 'back in black')...
the band never wanted to release a single from the album but radio picked up on "khe sanh" and
begged the label to release it...the following week it was banned from the airwaves for its references
to drug use, prostitutes and the fact it was sympathetic to the returning Vietnam soldiers...
no, The Boss' "born in the USA was not the first mainstream hit to highlight the abuse the Vets got when
they returned home!
a brilliant album, one of my favourites in my collection, always a pleasure to give this one a spin!

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

worst track: one long day
best track: Khe Sanh

Khe Sanh (lyrics)
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black market man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand

About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
How there were no V-day heroes in 1973
How we sailed into Sydney Harbor
Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land

And she was like so many more from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one
And their legs were often open
But their minds were always closed
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, pay packet lean
And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been
But the car parks made me jumpy
And I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for speed and Novocaine

So I worked across the country end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
Held a job on an oil-rig
Flying choppers when I could
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend

And I've traveled round the world from year to year
And each one found me aimless, one more year the more for wear
And I've been back to South East Asia
But the answer sure ain't there
But I'm drifting north, to check things out again

You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong
There ain't nothing like the kisses
From a jaded Chinese princess
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long

Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
And it's really got me worried
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

Santana - Zebop - One of their best albums IMO and it has some real cracking tracks on it. 'I Love You Much Too Much' has one of the most stunning guitar solos ever. 'Winning' is a firm favourite as well. Really like this album. Along with Abraxas, Inner Secrets & Moonflower, and his magnificent solo album 'Blues for Salvador'.

im a recent convert to The Eagles, sort of got into them a month or so prior to Glen's passing...
already posted "hotel California", I love it scored 2.5, and "the long road to eden", passable at 1.7...
this is superb IMO, brilliant easy listening, AOR/MOR rock, I cant figure why I never liked them previously...
I guess I was too into America and the two bands were rivals back in the day, you liked one and not the other,
sort of like Beatles and Stones or Blue and Oasis...

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

worst track: most of us are sad

Listen to the lyrics of 'The Last Resort' from Hotel California. Thought-provoking stuff.

he won't take the bait
the man's emotionless

It's just going to take time - watch this space.....

Awww, come on guys, HC scored 2.5, that's about as high as most classy albums get and im pretty sure The Last Resort was my favourite on that album
the remaining four albums by Eagles will be posted over the next week or two so watch this space as to how I rate them, you will see a total convert to all things Frey and Co...
