The tune, Baker Street, brings back good memories of a time when I was selling lots of pot. The very laid back gay guys (who bought lots of pot) loved that song. On the other hand, the somewhat more aggressive biker guys (who also bought lots of pot) loved songs of this sort:

Ehhhh... "very laid back gay guys"... "aggressive biker guys"... "bought lots of pot"...

This is not my mother tongue... but this can’t be anything else than I think it is... :bugeye:

I'm sure there were very laid back bikers as well as aggressive rough and tumble gays, but my experience was otherwise. :rolleyes:

You write better than lots of (most?) Americans, imho. Still, I don't know what you're getting at by your statement ... or the Bob Dylan video. Personally, I don't, in general, like Bob Dylan's stuff. Though I can't deny that it's good.

Ok, my experience with bikers wasn't that extensive. :redface: There was one who was the boyfriend of one of my girlfriends' girlfriends (did I phrase that correctly?), and he liked Running With The Devil. I suppose that shouldn't be considered a representative sampling. :smile: Maybe the bikers were closet glam queens. I don't know.

And I never (well sometimes ... ok, somewhat often) spoof.

EDIT: Uh, is there a statute of limitations on pot selling? Let me say that I was just kidding about that. I have never sold pot. Ever!

A new prodigy! Sounds a little like the young Streisand, only better, and she's only 11.
 
I heard a couple of great songs today. First, a (brilliant!) cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia"



and second, Alison Krauss & Union Station - Dimming of the Day, brought me to my knees this morning, what a voice, what a song, what a great morning it turned into!

:smile: Thanks TT, I knew there was something fishy about this "Harry Pot'er" story... Popcorn & beer anyone!? :rolleyes:


P.S. Mr. Tambourine is real fishy guy, they say... :wink:

P.S. Lady Gaga can dress in all meat in the world, and she’ll never get close anyway... sorry Gaga... :biggrin:

When I first heard Jimi Hendrix way back in'69, I said it will never get better than this. It hasn't.

Every Sunday evening, from I think 7 PM to 11 PM, Dr. Demento played nothing but stuff like this.

Here's my favorite from that show. For some reason, the DeZurik sisters also came to be known as the Cackle sisters.

She was a favorite for me, too. Paul McCartney gave her a start on the Apple label. Some of her stuff (like this song) got played to death. Other songs deserve more exposure. Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds...

I'll call your NaCl and raise you a Big Bruce [a Dr. D standard]

[edit: I should add for context that, generally speaking, homosexuality was firmly locked in the closet back then, so this was pretty wild [strange] for it's time]
