Salutations™!!

I know I’ve already done a post today but not only is today the release anniversary of So from Peter Gabriel, it’s also the 26th anniversary of KISS’ Revenge. It was a return of heavier rock from KISS that mostly got away from the poppier sound of the last few releases. To quote Paul Stanley, “you won’t hear any ‘hammer-ons’ on this album.” I think he meant hammer tapping, but whatever. In this video, I swear that Gene is the only person that could drink from a straw and make it look cool. Even, if the song is a bit creepy, it’s definitely “Gene.”

“Never had confession. Never had a home. Never had no worry until I met Domino. 
Ain’t the Virgin Mary. Love her I confess. Got my hesitations, ’cause she kisses like the kiss of death. Loves lots of money, back’s against the wall. Calls me Sugar Daddy, she knows she’s got me by the balls. They call her Domino – so fine.” – “Domino” (Simmons/Vincent)

Today is the 32nd anniversary of the release of what I call my favorite album of all time, So by Peter Gabriel. So, I wanted to share one of my faves from the album. My favorite of all time is, of course, “Sledgehammer” but I give that enough love, so here’s another from that album. I want to do So in its entirety with VSS and I want to do all the PG vocals and I want local legend Susan Snow to be my Kate Bush. We’ll see if that ever happens.

“Got to walk out of here. I can’t take any more. Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below. Whatever may come and whatever may go that river’s flowing. That river’s flowing. Moved on to another town, tried hard to settle down. For every job, so many men. So many men no-one needs.” – “Don’t Give Up” (Gabriel)

“All the late night bargains have been struck between the satin beaus and their belles. And, prehistoric garbage trucks have the city to themselves. Echoes roars dinosaurs, they’re all doing the monster mash. And, most of the taxis and the whores are only taking calls for cash. I don’t know how it happened. It all took place so quick. But, all I can do is hand it to you and your latest trick.” = “Your Latest Trick” (Knopfler)

There are a lot of albums that have anniversaries today but, we don’t usually play them on Saturdays and we’re not going to be home anyway, so I wanted to highlight one here.

On this day in 1973 (making this 45 today), Paul Simon’s There Goes Rhymin’ Simon was released. Happy day to it. Here’s its biggest hit and one of my faves by Mr. Simon.

“If you took all the girls I knew when I was single, and brought them all together for one night. I know they’d never match my sweet imagination. Everything looks worse in black and white. Kodachrome. They give us those nice bright colors. They give us the greens of summers. Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day. I got a Nikon camera. I love to take a photograph. So, Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away.” – “Kodachrome” (Simon)

So, last night when The BCPF and I were driving back from GSO, we were listening to some yacht rock on Sirius XM and this song came on. I love the album that it’s from. I have the Fleetwood Mac album that it was on but I haven’t listened to it, yet. I will. Anywhat! Here ya go… Enjoy!

So today marks the two year anniversary since we lost one of the most prolific and important musicians in my lifetime. Prince Rogers Nelson died from an opioid overdose in what is probably a heinous crime that resulted in someone getting a slap on the wrist. Oh well, right? Pshaw. Anywhat, here’s one of his more recent memorable television moments. The Super Bowl halftime extravaganza. It was one of, if not the best halftime show for the big game. This has some crappy edits in it but it’s the whole performance without commentary, so… enjoy. RIP Purple One, U R missed.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called ‘life.’ Electric word, life. It means forever and that’s a mighty long time, but I’m here to tell you there’s something else: The Afterworld; a world of never-ending happiness. You can always see the sun, day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, ‘Dr. Everything’ll-Be-Alright,’ instead of asking him how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind, baby. ‘Cause in this life, things are much harder than in the Afterworld. In this life, you’re on your own. And if de-elevator tries to bring you down, 
go crazy (Punch a higher floor!).” – “Let’s Go Crazy” (Prince)

I usually don’t like that gutteral throat growl that metal uses but I didn’t mind it so much here (for the most part). The girl’s (Hannah Boultin) voice is nice. I love the original of this song and I have loved several covers of it. This is a pretty good rendition. So, enjoy!

“The wild dogs cry out in the night as they grow restless, longing for some solitary company. I know that I must do what’s right, as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti. I seek to cure what’s deep inside, frightened of this thing that I’ve become. It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do. I bless the rains down in Africa. Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.” – “Africa” (Porcaro/Paich/Wolf)

Since Clay Howard is so into this album and I’m a huge fan of Clay Howard and considering that yesterday was the 31st anniversary of its release, Here is The Cult’s “Love Removal Machine” from Electric (1987). Enjoy!

I’ve been paying a lot of attention to Paul Gilbert lately. You know, the guitarist from Mr. Big. He’s a guitar genius, actually. He’s a shredder but he’s also technical but has a lot of soul and feeling, too. This is just a little sampling of his career and it’s pretty cool.

My cousin Gary put this on my timeline and I thought it was just awesome, so I’m sharing it with you, today. We all know that KISS is my favorite band. We know, too, that I did “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” with the Vagabond Saints Society a few years back. I think the disco-esque song is perfect for the Spanish-style guitar in this case. I especially love the middle bridge part in this manner. Ladies and germs, I present Gabriella Quevedo!
