TheGayDivorcee Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I believe that some who were in group were models. It is very much Theseus' paradox. You keep us on our toes, SansFin; I had to visit Wikipedia. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I believe that some who were in group were models. It is very much Theseus' paradox. Very unusual for models to become rock singers. Two that I can think of were disco divas Madleen Kane and France Joli. Link to post Share on other sites
SansFin Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You keep us on our toes, SansFin; I had to visit Wikipedia. I am sorry for that. I have looked now at Wikipedia and found that it states that there have been thirteen in the trio. I knew it must be a dozen which is what made me think of ship. Link to post Share on other sites

VIA Gra is pop group. I know that I am snob to feel that to be rock singer requires much more talent and diligence than to be pop singer. Link to post Share on other sites

darkblue Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Annie Lennox was the highlight of the Grammys for me tonight. Best eyes on a pop artist ever. Penetrating - and sexy as hell. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 And she was a model. These has ALWAYS been a lot of interaction between male rock stars and female models. Two of many examples are David Bowie and Iman, and Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova. Link to post Share on other sites
darkblue Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Grace was pretty foxy at the start. She put on weight. Link to post Share on other sites
TheGayDivorcee Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Best eyes on a pop artist ever. Penetrating - and sexy as hell. Yes! Most alluring. By the way, I saw a photo online of her daughter who, not surprisingly, is gorgeous. Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 A really funny song from the really, really funny New Zealand music/comedy team Flight of the Conchords: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
darkblue Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Those guys crack me up, misswonderly. Watched the 2 seasons of their show - wish they'd done more. They were on an episode of The Simpsons. They sang "it's hard to sing while you're playing guitar" during the episode. Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I didn't see that episode of The Simpsons, but even the title of that song makes me laugh. Apparently Jermaine Clement has a new movie out, something about slacker vampires, "What We Do in the Shadows". It's gotten good reviews; I'd like to see it. Link to post Share on other sites

misswonderly3 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I watched "Coal Miner's Daughter" last night (on TCM) and liked it just as much as the first time I saw it. I think it helps if you have an interest in that kind of music. Levon Helm, who played Loretta's father, was of course a member of the great band, The Band. He was the drummer, but he also sang and contributed to the songwriting sometimes. He was from Arkansas, and had a great and valuable store of knowlege about "roots" music. He not only played Loretta's father in the film, he was its musical consultant. There's a funny story about how, when his character had died and was lying in his coffin, with all the mourners sitting around him singing "Amazing Grace", Levon shot up from the coffin and told them they weren't "singing it right". Guess they had to re-shoot the scene. But what I wanted to post today isn't a song by Loretta Lynn, although I like her. I like Patsy Cline just as much. Beverly D'Angelo played Patsy in the film, and I thought she did a great job. Here's "Walkin' After Midnight". In its own country-ish way, it rocks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I like Coal Miner's Daughter too. You mentioned Levon Helm and I really liked him in that, even though he had a small role. I love The Band. Did you ever see The Last Waltz? It's coming on hdnet this March and I plan on watching it. I've never seen it. That scene you mentioned where Levon is in the coffin, I cried like a baby at that part. I cried when he died and she saw him coming towards her in the field. Now whenever I see it, I hope I think of what you said. Link to post Share on other sites
darkblue Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Far as I'm concerned, 'Walkin' After Midnight' is Patsy's very best song. I once saw some program about after-death experiences and the title was 'Walking After Midnight' - with Patsy's song a part of the presentation. I also remember George Harrisons 'Art of Dying' being on the soundtrack of the program as well. Link to post Share on other sites
darkblue Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 While looking at these photos, it struck me that Steve's looks are sometimes remindful of a cross between Robert Redford and Christopher Walken. No wonder Eydie fell for him. Really liked this as a 12-13 year old - sang it all the time. The definition of a smooth song. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Especially Christopher Walken. I always felt sorry for the "somebody else" he "belonged" to. I dunno, if he's that tempted to stray, maybe he and the "somebody else" have some talking to do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I remember as a kid watching them on Password and Johnny Carson. He did look like a cross between the two! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
