  1. If/when my wife ends up the victim of a freak accident, resulting in her untimely demise, this will be the root cause.
  2. 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.
  3. Waterboys.....Damn, Mike Scott could write a song....
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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"
  7. THIS is why this thread was started. This kind of shit right here. Well done Mrs. @wackawacka. We salute you!
  8. What a band on stage.
  9. Replaced the brakes at 210k miles in the 2011 Tacoma.
  10. 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.
  11. "I bought you some Blueberry Sconces"
  12. I watch a lot of Forensic Files to remind me that people always leave clues.
  13. 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"
  14. 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.
  15. After listening...mostly just talking about being in the movie. Oh well.
  16. .....and why he struggles to write a 'balls out rock song'....
  17. I only pay into 3 Patreon sites. The Strong Songs & The Bottom Forty podcasts and Jeff Plankenhorn, because he is just a kickass dude and we need more kickass dudes.
  18. One By Willie by John Spong at Texas Monthly. This month's is Bruce Robison talking about "Phases and Stages Theme/Walkin'" from Phases and Stages https://www.texasmonthly.com/podcast/bruce-robison-on-willie-nelsons-saddest-songs/
  19. They are both funny guys but not the happiest songs come out. Bruce said he writes sad songs and slightly faster sad songs.
  20. One of my favorite things he did was write the same story from two perspectives. Dance With Me is about a chick on vacation who hooks up with a local and her boyfriend is trying to locate her. And he takes your hand, tenderly And he whispers sweet surrender Nothing, is how he feels about girls like you With your flip flop smiles And your big blue eyes on vacation Then "Guadalajara", with the dude on a business trip, hooking up with a 'holiday girl' is sort of the 'get back'.
