Salutations™!!

Today is the 52nd anniversary of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bookends album. My favorite album by them, and it has my favorite song by them. #234 on the RS List. One cool thing about this song is the fact that there is no rhyming; basically a continuous story. There were plenty of vids to choose from for this but I think these young ladies did a great job. Let’s go with it. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Today is the 33rd anniversary of Suzanne Vega’s Solitude Standing album. I remember when this came out and this song was released and the controversies it stirred, but also the awareness of child abuse. I have always loved this song, as sad and dark as it is and this lady, “Billy” nails it! Enjoy!

“Yes, I think I’m okay; walked into the door again. Well, if you ask that’s what I’ll say. And it’s not your business anyway. I guess I’d like to be alone with nothing broken, nothing thrown. Just don’t ask me how I am. Just don’t ask me how I am. Just don’t ask me how I am.” – “Luka” (Vega)

Today, March 31, is the 28th anniversary of the combo of Bruce Springsteen’s Human Touch and Lucky Town. I don’t know why he released two albums at the same time, but I don’t know why Guns N Roses did it either. Money maybe? I don’t know. But, while Human Touch was the better seller and better acclaimed of the two, my favorite song from this era of Bruce is this one, which I wish I had a copy of me doing it when the Vagabond Saints Society did it a few years back. I don’t have a copy so, I’ll play this version which is pretty cool because Bruce sings a little and then lets most of the E Street Band have a turn. Enjoy!

“We said we’d walk together, baby come what may. That come the twilight, should we lose our way. If as we’re walking a hand should slip free, I’ll wait for you. And should I fall behind, wait for me.” – “If I Should Fall Behind” (Springsteen)

Today is the 43rd anniversary of the Commodores’ self-titled album. It had awesome tunes on it and instead of looking for some cover, I am going straight to one of the 38 songwriters of this song. I’m kidding, there are only seven. Still, enjoy!

“It is the springtime of my loving. The second season I am to know. You are the sunlight in my growing. So little warmth I’ve felt before. It isn’t hard to feel me glowing. I watched the fire that grew so low, oooh, oh.” – “The Rain Song” (Page/Plant)

“We walked to the sea, just my father ‘n’ me. And the dogs played around on the sand. Winter cold cut the air, hangin’ still ev’rywhere, dressed in gray, did he say hold my hand? I said love’s easier when it’s far away. We sat ‘n watched a distant light.” – “Ships” (Hunter)

Today is the 44th anniversary of Judas Priest’s Sad Wings of Destiny album and while I could have spent countless hours looking for bad cover bands trying to do Halford, or at least Tim “Ripper” Owens, I decided to just stick with the real deal. Enjoy!

While I was trying to find something that continued the “stop owing me” motif, I found this nugget. It has nothing to do with my plight but in some twisted way, it is fitting. Today is the 31st anniversary of the debut S/T album from Extreme. It had a few videos released and this was my favorite song from it. I’m not sure what the significance of the dancing girl is, but I’m also not upset about it. I do wish the phone doing the recording would have been more centered and not in front of the guitar amps, but oh, well… Enjoy!
