C.Bogle Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Those themes were kind of Bruce's trademark specialty. I've haven't bought a Springsteen CD in a long time, but I'm sure he's moved on and out. Sometimes ads appears and sometimes they don't. In certain videos on Vevo they seem to be blocked in by the Vevo box. It's not too bad in this one.

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Lefty Driesell was a famous college basketball coach. Never heard of your guy....Speaking of sports, Miss W., what the h*ll is going on in Vancouver, anyway?

misswonderly3 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'm embarrassed to say. A small minority of the Vancouver population appears to have gone insane. They are not representative of Canadians, believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Lefty isn't as well known as near contemporaries like George Jones or Johnny Cash, but he was a very popular country star in the first half of the 1950s. I've never heard of the basketball coach, but that doesn't mean much because I was never a big basketball fan. Yeah, most Canadians are probably too staid and dull to riot hardy. I've always had the feeling that's the usual take on Canadians for us here in the US. They're like Americans, but not as excessive and extreme. Not saying it's true, but that seems to be the general feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I remember Lefty Frizell. "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time!" A lot of that stuff was before my time. But I heard it as oldies a few years later. "I was born...in Saginaw, Michigan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone is considerd rude, so you have empirical evidence that Canadians are not always boringly polite. One reason I make a point of letting people here know when someone cool and creative is Canadian - whether it be an actor, director, comedian, singer, musician, or athlete - is to try to debunk that very misconception about Canadians. Now I know that you folks here know better, but I still like to give a little pro-Canada jingoistic plug now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Is there something unique about the demographics of Vancouver (in contrast to, e.g., Toronto) which makes rioting more likely there? It's happened before as a result of a Cup loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I don't know about that...There was a riot in Montreal some years ago, and that was after the Habs had won the Stanley Cup. Montreal's pretty far away from Vancouver. Last year Vancouver hosted the Winter Olympics, and there were no riots. Although maybe that was because Canada did pretty well, scored a bunch of gold medals and so forth. I've heard - from you, actually, finance - that Philadelphian sports fans have been known to go crazy on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I was actually about 15 miles from home when the Flyers won the Stanley Cup for the first time (1974, I think). I had a very, very difficult time getting home...... Philadelphia sports fans are in general known for thuggish behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 On the weekend I saw a film that came out a couple of years ago, but I just got around to seeing it now. The film was called An Education and it was very good, one of the best "new" films I've seen in a long time. It had a great soundtrack too. This was one of the songs on it: Brenda Lee 's Sweet Nothin's : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1stieusjP-g (On this video you can barely see Brenda. But you can sure hear her.)

C.Bogle Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 After the mid 1950s Lefty, for the most aprt, fell off the charts. He did have one last big hit with Saginaw, Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 One of the first little girls with a big voice. Didn't the Velvets do a song called Oh Sweet Nothing or something like that? A very different song from Brenda's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Did you know there are at least two movies out about Joy Division? One's kind of a chaotic documentary, called "All Night Party People", and the other one, "Control" is mostly about Ian Curtis. I think it's funny that at the end of that rather dark (but good) song, the screen comes up with a perky "Thanks for watching! " Kind of incongruous.

misswonderly3 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Seemed like a good day to play this. One of the best songs ever written, and Dave Edmunds does it full justice. Summertime : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBVbDo187s0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I believe this was one of the few well-known later Gershwin songs in which the lyrics were not written by his brother Ira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We'll always have the music may be a cliche, but it's true, and now it's more avaialble than ever. I would guess that Lefty was still popular on the tour circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I knew there were some movies out there about Joy Division, but I've never seen them. I believe there is one on Hulu. Have to check it out some time. I think they only released two studio albums before they disbanded, but there are something like ten compilation albums out. The ending to the video is a little bit out of place, but it's the thought that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Getting back to the old timers, one of my favorites has always been the great Fats Domino. Fats performing Walking to New Orleans. I think about the only time Fats walked was down his driveway to get the daily paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I love that song. When I was real young, I coudn't help but note the similar nicknames of Fats and CHUBBY Checker. The Twist was all the rage, and I mean, it was HUGE! Chubby was either featured or talked about on American Bandstand. I don't remember which. My mom used to watch a Tennessee Ernie Ford show. I was little more than a toddler. But I remember him sitting around, wearing a cardigan, Crooning in that soothing bass. "Some people say a man is made out of mud..."

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 My two favorite Domino songs were the lesser-known "I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday" and "Be My Guest". I think that after Presley and Berry, he was the most important r&r figure of the '50s...........Chubby Checker's name (real name--Ernest Evans) was a direct play on Fats Domino.
