Off the top of my head as my saddest moments is Marc Bolan ( T.Rex ) , John Lennon , Phil Lynott ( Thin Lizzy ) , George Michael , Amy Whinehouse...Freddy Mercury , Kurt Cobain , Karen Carpenter , Jeff Buckley, Bowie , Michael Jackson, two of the Bee Gees , Michael Hutchence. Glen Frey ( Eagles ) , Maurice White ( Earth Wind & Fire )... these are just the ones that I have fond memories of ..

You are absolutely right. I guess stardom really isn't all and only about money and fame. There has to be an incredible pressure that comes along with it. I can't imagine living under such scrutiny to the point I can't leave the house without someone on my tail watching and recording every move I make and every person I'm with, always ready to rip me to shreds with a new "scandal" headline. I'm a very private person and this life under a looking glass would really bother me.

Amy Whitehouse was truly a hot mess. But that voice!! Such talent. Such a shame.

Yep, you were right, it seemed kinda boring/weird at first (kinda like Mustapha), but after three listens and a good night's sleep, I now have it in my mp3 library :D

This was from 2016 in London. Sounds pretty good for 75. Plenty of plastic surgery I see.

one of his best

He sounds very good live. I saw him at the Hollywood Bowl many moons ago.

Now a new direction. My fav love song of all time.

https://youtu.be/BoG-guTOwCE


From the album, Cheap Seats

Here's another with a funny back story. When Alabama was at their peak in the 80's, I had a Southwest/Western art gallery in California. I also dressed the part and was told I looked like Randy Owen, their lead singer. I was flying cross country alone and was all garbed up with a black cowboy hat. One of the greeting stewardesses was a big Alabama fan and thought I was him flying incognito. She looked at my ticket, saw my name and said she understood the hat and different name. Well she put me in First Class and spoiled me. She even asked for my autograph at the end. I know I was bad but was young and dumber than I am today.

Obviously I wasn’t born in the 80’s, but I sure do appreciate old music.

Toto-Africa
Toto-Hold The Line
Toto-Rosanna
Hall and Oats-Out of Touch
Hall and Oats-Kiss is on my List
Van Halen-Jump

These are only some of my favorites, but 80’s - 90’s was the peak for music in my eyes.

I forgotten more music than can remember but here goes.

70's
Elton John (Madman Across the Water)
Led Zeppelin (Rain Song)
Aerosmith (Seasons of Wither)
Van Halen (Ain't Talkin bout Love)
The Cars (Night Spots)

80's
Echo and the Bunnymen (The Cutter)
Smiths (How soon is now)
The Police (Synchronicity II)
B52s (Mesopotamia)
Peter Gabriel (Mercy Street)
Talking Heads (Girlfriend is Better) Live version from Stop Making Sense

When the 90's hit, all bets were off with alternative and grunge. Couldn't get enough of Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, STP, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sloan, REM, etc.

As far as Country goes, it was never the same once Garth Brooks came on the scene. He did to country what Poison did to Rock.

My only other secret indulgence is a woman and a piano, i.e. Tori Amos, Sarah Mclachlan, Sara Bareilles, Missy Higgins, etc.

It's Friday night boys and girls. Let's start it off with some Olivia Newton John.

And I thought for sure she was singing this song to me.

And she's clearly searching for me here.

Dude, you know she was singing those songs for me!

Here's another most have long forgotten.

People forget all the movies she was in.

I wonder if Zina remembers this? This was on the radio in 84' when I lived in Belgium.

So funny to look back and see this.
