I’m on a Low Budget ! What Did You Say ?
I Thought You Said That !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3xi9lCmj-0
I remember, when you were down
And you needed a helping hand
I came to feed you
But now that I need you
You won’t give me a second glance
Now I’m calling all citizens from all over the world
This is captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Coulda been written . . . last week!
And this one because Ukraine = deep state insanity
‘ I dont feel safe in this world of ours
dont wanna die in a nuclear war
wanna sail away to a distant shore , and make like an Ape Man !’
20th Century Man by The Kinks (1971, methinks)
This is the age of machinery
A mechanical nightmare
The wonderful world of technology
Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare
This is the twentieth century
But too much aggravation
It’s the age of insanity
What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem
Ain’t got no ambition
I’m just disillusioned
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want, I don’t want to be here
My mama said she can’t understand me
She can’t see my motivation
Just give me some security
I’m a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century
You keep all your smart modern writers
Give me William Shakespeare
You keep all your smart modern painters
I’ll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough
Girl we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want, I don’t want to die here
Girl, we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want, I don’t want to be here
I was born in a welfare state
Ruled by bureaucracy
Controlled by civil servants
And people dressed in grey
Got no privacy, got no liberty
‘Cause the twentieth century people
Took it all away from me
Don’t want to get myself shot down
By some trigger happy policeman
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want to die here
My mama says she can’t understand me
She can’t see my motivation
Ain’t got no security
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want to die here
I don’t want twentieth century, man
I don’t want twentieth century, man
I don’t want twentieth century, man
I don’t want twentieth century, man
This is the twentieth century
But too much aggravation
This is the edge of insanity
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want to be here
No explanation needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I don’t mind chopping wood
And I don’t care if the money’s no good
You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never
Have taken the very best
Graduated in 79 some of the best music in my life time.
Hmmmm…..,the 79 albums,many great ones!
I saw this tour 8 times!
Saw this tour twice:
Hell,so much that year besides mentioned here,Queen Live Killers/AC-DC Highway Album/Molley Hatchet/,the list goes on and on,saw probably 40 plus concerts that year!
Bad Company pairs well with The Outlaws.
First two Joe Jackson albums came out in 1979:
Title song from Look Sharp!

“It’s Different for Girls” from I’m the Man

Jello Biafra’s – Shut Up , Be Happy – America now under martial law rant.
We interrupt this program with a special bulletin:
America is now under martial law
All constitutional rights have been suspended
Stay in your homes
Do not attempt to contact loved ones, insurance agents or attorneys
Shut up
Do not attempt to think or depression may occur
The number one enemy of progress is question
National security is more important than individual will
Yes!
First Pat Benatar album had several cover songs, including this one from Alan Parsons …

… and this one from John Cougar

Man, what a blindingly white derriere crowd here, where’s the soul!
September – Earth, Wind & Fire
Good Times – Chic
Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough – Michael Jackson
What You Won’t Do For Love – Bobby Caldwell
Now That We’ve Found Love – Third World
Da Ya Think I’m Sexy – Rod Stewart
(I’ve tried and failed to figure out this format I’ve never see anywhere else and no instructions. I wish someone would tell me how to insert video, thanks)
Go to the source video, right click and select Copy video url Open your comment and paste.
Easy Peasy.
On Youtube, pause the video. Click on the Share button. Click the Copy button for a link to the video, or Click Embed and then Copy (at the lower-right of the Share pop-up) so that we can play the song without leaving TBP comments. Finally, paste into the Comment window (Ctrl-V on Windows or Command-V on Mac).
Easier-Peasier.
The Sugar Hill Gang (rapping above) have darker derrieres than your Rod Stewart, I’ll wager. But maybe not more soul.
Kind of fitting in with a lot of today’s topic. https://youtu.be/kknVfOJZ1w0. It’s photos that I can’t do. Well it usually works. Maybe it’ll show up later.
Thank you for the instructions I requested. Much appreciation.
Still pissed at Van Halen for firing David Lee Roth!
He left, he didn’t get fired.
Hagar got fired.

Two or three good ones in the bunch.
On a beautiful clear day , I’m crusin’ in the Firebird just a little fast , but not crazy fast , playing this song at TOP VOLUME ……
WOOSH — WOOSH — two state troopers pass me in the other direction. I look in in the mirror and see them both pull a 180 turn , in unison , to ” GET ” me.
Pulled right over and explained I was just ROCKIN’ OUT to a cool tune …. they let me go 🙂
Punk first.
Always!

Then MJ…oh well.
And finally a cover. Thank you Admin.
