    +1 for Song for You reference…

    No human female has ever used cardinal directions in a conversation. But yours may even be a little more advanced on the spectrum.

    Mine does all the time.  Problem is, she is wrong about 92.3% of the time.  She once told me to do south, then processed to tell me to turn right, (north).   Rather than argue, I said, "OK.  We will do it your way but when we get to Tennessee, I'm turning around."  Only ended up going about 2 miles before she realized it....and get this....ADMITTED it.

  2. As mentioned above, I still listen to this album multiple times a year.  But last night, I sat down and really listened to it for the first time in a long time.   The entire album is a spiritual ride.

    This song will be sung at my funeral.  What an uplifting message.   And it includes one of my favorite lines of all time:

    "I've got rare '61 Beatles
    I got a film of my dreams"

    Well, if you had the decency to find some complete random stranger to have told her what was needed she would have believed them and done what they said.  Really your fault. 

    If/when my wife ends up the victim of a freak accident, resulting in her untimely demise, this will be the root cause.

    I'm curious why you say "I couldn't wait to hear what he did without Mike Scott."  I don't know much about their relationship other than Scott seems to be a bit electic and seems to have played with a shit ton of people in his band.   

    Wallinger seemed to have a major impact on the Waterboys overall sound, but to me, they were still a Mike Scott band.   Not that that is a bad thing.  I just liked the changes that Wallinger brought into the Waterboys and was curious what he would be once he got out from under Scott.  Scott still apparently wrote most of the music, but Wallinger's presence really seemed to change the band.   

  5. Remember watching this on Midnight Special and being amazed at the different hair styles.....  I thought, "how do these 5 guys even know each other, much less be in the same band".   I think this album (8 track) might have been in my initial Columbia order.

  6. Goodbye Jumbo is a top 10 album for me.  I still listen to it at least monthly.  So much energy and soul.  This song always seems to full of promise and hope.   I can never hear it enough and the song ends too soon.  
    Fuck...I have been hit by a 'celebrity' death like this since Petty.

  7. Mother Fucker.  After he left The Waterboys, I couldn't wait to hear what he did without Mike Scott.  Then I heard this song.  I still get the same feeling when I hear it today.....MANY years later.

     

    From A Pagan Place:  Waterboys

    From "This Is The Sea"

    • Wife: Booked our flights for my friends wedding
    • Me: Cool, where is it again?
    • Wife: Just outside of DC
    • Me: Great,  I have a good friend in DC that we can stop and see

    Days later after messaging my friend to schedule

    • Me: Why does my flight say Raleigh, NC?
    • Wife: Because that is where the wedding is located
    • Me: Is that near DC to you?
    • Wife: Walks away

    THIS is why this thread was started.  This kind of shit right here.  Well done Mrs. @wackawacka.   We salute you!

    2011

    I have a 2011 Tacoma.  240K miles.  Outside of the shitty radio/CD player, it has been great.  Had to replace both catalytic converters at about 150k.  Other than than...just replace tires.

    Wow, I didn't know that Taupin ever worked with Alice Cooper.  Now that I've looked it up -- Steve Lukather and a couple of guys from Elton John's band, too.

    I bought that album because I read Taupin's name on the credits and Marcy Levy sings the duet of Millie & Billie.  
    "And I liked your late husband Donald.  But such torture his memory brings.
    All sliced up and sealed tight in baggies.  Guess love makes you do funny things"
     

  12. Redheaded Stranger is likely the answer to the question.    I've only recently learned about Phases and Stages.  Been getting in to it a lot lately.

    My favorite, by far, is "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" by Elton John.   One this is criminally underrated is "From The Inside" by Alice Cooper.  

    Common component is Bernie Taupin.
