As Autumn leaves fall, we say goodbye to the Summer of 2006. Thinking of Summer songs, this seemed to come to mind. :) Who knows if New Years Day 2007, will usher in the United States again.
Ahhh.. What a great song! There's one scene in that clip that reminds me of Kevin Spacey and his role in the Usual Suspects. Wonder if he ripped Hoffman off now.. ?? Hehehe..
AARP MUSIC CLUB. rofl!! :)

John Lennon: "I was trying to write about an affair, so it was very gobbledegooky. I was trying to write about an affair without letting my wife know I was having one. I was sort of writing from my experiences ... girl's flats, things like that." He also said: "'Norwegian Wood' is my song completely. It was about an affair I was having. I was very careful and paranoid because I didn't want my wife, Cyn, to know that there really was something going on outside of the household. I'd always had some kind of affairs going on, so I was trying to be sophisticated in writing about an affair ... but in such a smoke-screen way that you couldn't tell. But I can't remember any specific woman it had to do with."

I welcome the cool calm and detachment that this season brings us, even if it suggests a bit of melancholy. I really loved that song...rolling through the jasmine in my mind...
Seems like there was an early Steve Miller Band tune about or even titled Autumn.
I found out why I can't view these vids, it's Flash. I'll get it going one of these days, then maybe I'll be able to relate to these threads in a more direct way. Music is the biggest part of my little life, and actually it's really bizarre that I'm so excluded from these threads.
Love that woman! Absolutely love her. What a voice! And writes so much of her own stuff. Real creative talent is, sadly, so rare among female music stars these days. Posers get all the attention. I'm so glad for the few that manage to get to me through the industry. Loved her in 10,000 maniacs and also after.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh..... No NO!! LOL!! I had a Ricky Nelson album that had to have THE WORST color of aqua as the background. I used to file that sucker at the very very back of my 'collection'. You know the wire stand?? It was cool to have a full stand of records, and a whole separate one for your 45's. (with inserts)
But, it was horrifying if someone looked to the back of your collection.

I know.. I like fall in many ways better than spring.. the crispness in the air..
You should download flash.. I so enjoy listening to music while Im reading the news... enjoy sharing music and seeing what music others relate to.. Music means a lot to me too.. interesting how it's linked with our memories..
It's from the movie 'Chicago' with Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger, Queen Latifa.
Excellent movie.. well done.. and this scense didn't make sense the first time you saw it either!! LOL! Good movie though, and it eventually fits. JMHO>>

OMG .. Natalie Merchant is one of my favorite singers. I've followed her music since her days with 10,000 Maniacs.. thanks!
Same here.
Remember Trouble me?
What I am is What I am?? ---(I don't know, too many things, I know what I know, if you know that that means.......... Philosophy, on the top of a cereal box...Religion, ...)
Goot stuff!

Drag me to the shallow water before I get too deep...
But that was Whatshername and the New Bohemians. Paul Simon's girlfriend. Uh..Uh...Edie Burkelle!
Rabble.. can't wait for you to get flash.. it will be great!!
It's funny how one song can just lift up leaf after leaf of some of the most wonderful songs, even if only for the brief moment they were popular, there they are.. stuck in your brain.
One of my all time favorites is, Stuck In The Middle by Steelers Wheel. Great harmony.. most people I know, barely remember it.. funny how the mind just gloms onto certain things.
Hurry up with the flash stuff. :)

No problem, this music resonates with the melancholy feeling the numbness of seeing politicians using deaths they caused on 9-11 as an excuse to cause tens of thousands of more deaths and maiming in illegal and immoral wars.
It came out in the sad aftermath of the Vietnam War, and this sort of music has found new sad and tragic times to resonate with an audience once more.
War is over if you want it, if we all want it. We can make the leaders follow.
One of my favorites by her!! I think I remember this set.. I *think* it was aired as one of those "By Request" shows... It just seems familiar, and along the time of UnPlugged phenom.
Unique voice!
Good pick!! Thanks Zip!! :)

Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle from a Friend Called Felicity
During that summer When unicorns were still possible; When the purpose of knees Was to be skinned; When shiny horse chestnuts (Hollowed out Fitted with straws Crammed with tobacco Stolen from butts In family ashtrays) Were puffed in green lizard silence While straddling thick branches Far above and away From the softening effects Of civilization;
During that summer-- Which may never have been at all; But which has become more real Than that one that was-- Watermelons ruled.
Thick pink imperial slices Melting frigidly on sun-parched tongues Dribbling from chins; Leaving the best part, The black bullet seeds, To be spit out in rapid fire Against the wall Against the wind Against each other;
And when the ammunition was spent, There was always another bite: It was a summer of endless bites, Of hungers quickly felt And quickly forgotten With the next careless gorging.
The bites are fewer now. Each one is savored lingeringly, Swallowed reluctantly.
But in a jar put up by Felicity, The summer which maybe never was Has been captured and preserved. And when we unscrew the lid And slice off a piece And let it linger on our tongue: Unicorns become possible again.
i love this...sergio mendez and brazil 66 were one of my favorite groups back then. i saw them in concert outdoors and they were fabulous. i'm dancing!
I give up again, for tonight. A few versions back, I used to get a button over each flash object with and 'f' on it, and I could always play it if I wanted. I may need to reinstall or something. I updated all may extensions, and I installed flash for the umpteenth time. I see nothing at all. No dead object, no box, not even a dot or anything where you guys post the vids. When I go to youTube, it's the same deal. I think I have the remains of an extinct extension blocking flash objects. I dunno. Night : (

Do you have Java Script, and if so, is it enabled?
I think I may have the answer to your problem.. I hope so anyway!

Download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion... and other 60+ video sites ! And all embedded objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc) ! Directly !
VideoDownloader add a small icon on the status bar at the bottom of your firefox window, and a toolbar button. Just click that and download the video you are watching !
For a example of what this Add-on has to offer, visit the following...
London, Dec. 5: A 26-year-old Indian woman, who went with a Scottish Eminem lookalike rapper to his flat probably to have sex, was battered around her head with an iron baseball bat and stuffed half-naked into a suitcase where she took an hour to bleed to death.
I'll take God Bless America for 200, Alex!
The faster the Aryan Nation mob at Freedom4um are caged and chained, the better off we'll be. Ill cheering when they are forced to behave. - Aaron
Duncan was, in fact, a petty criminal said by doctors to have a personality disorder. Police later discovered various weapons and violent videos in his flat. He had mixed alcohol with ecstasy, LSD and cocaine on the night of the murder.
The court heard that the couple abandoned an attempt to have sex ? Jagdip admitted to Duncan that she had never done it before.
Duncan, who was in a dreamlike state, then thought he heard the sound of people coming for him, at which point he struck Jagdip with an iron baseball bat and stuffed her body in the foetal position into a suitcase.
Even Duncans defence counsel had little positive to say on behalf of her client.Wendy Joseph said Duncan had been singing Eminem songs at the pub and had shouted lyrics full of the most unpleasant sentiments across the floor.
silly english!

I used to have an extension that blocked flash media, and gave you a button in a box that you could push to watch if you chose to do so. It's no longer compatible, but I think it's still in FireFox's bowels somewhere, blocking flash but not letting me see the button. Just a theory, but I fear I may need to do a clean install of FireFox to be rid of it.
"I'm A Loser"---like "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"---written by John Lennon under heavy influence of Bob Dylan. (He was "going through a phase"... :P)
Unless you have an answer off the top of your head, don't sweat it, guys. I have a fairly low bandwidth connection anyway, and hopefully in a month or two I'll be on a different machine with a better connection. Clean install and everything will be fine. Until then, I'm with you in spirit :)
Hm ... As I was previewing this, FF recommended I update from yadda...6 to yadda...7. Maybe it will magically fix itself(i doubt it though).
A long long time ago, in a land far far away, There was a tradition, of mostly peaceful youths, gathered up in clumps of girls or boys, and stuffed in cars............ Practicing the mandatory Friday night ritual of, draggin' the main.
Most everyone had their radio's tuned to the same AM station, except for the aggies. But they were in trucks and that was okay too. Yellow Chevy Stepside Silverado's with gun racks and usually the only guys old enough and mature enough to buy illicit foamy beverages..
Probably Fresca. :)
Anyway........
One underlying point of dragging the main was sitting at a stop, and you could hear everyone's radio.
Hot summer evenings, with too many kids in the car, all the windows are DOWN, of course..
And one more tradition laid upon the rag tag clumps of kids from all over the valley, was to scream............. SKYNYRD!!!!!!!!!!!!! When any song of theirs came on.
It was one of those things you can look back on and while NO ONE knew everyone, everyone knew Skynyrd...............and we were little boxes of people who had a communal moment..
And then the light would change, and off we went.. racing at 5 miles an hour..moving on with the house party on wheels.
ROFL!!! :)

RR, I use Maxthon which I think is superior to Firefox and it's more user friendly.
I'm not so sure this a FF issue. I think this is more of a "rr tinkers with things late at night and can't figure out later what he did to fuck it up" issue. I've been with FireFox from way back, not looking to change. I have converted all but the stupidest of my family and friends. None of them have this problem. I absolutely love my setup, and no other browser that I know of can get the tabs down the left side and the bookmarks down the right side like I can with FF. Everything else looks clumsy to me now. The only thing I would change, and I know its just a matter of time before they do it, I would like the tabs on my left to take the shape of a navigation-based tree view. Not the tree-like tabs that tabbrowser prefs offers, but a real tree view.
Again, I don't see this as a FireFox fault, but almost certainly something I messed up several versions ago without realizing it. Most folks would never mess with the innards the way I sometimes do.
My pleasure. It was the theme song for Billy Jack too. The surprise no mainstream movie hit of the early 1970s. The song is an anthem. Very elegent, moving and simple.
Okay, still no vids after the update, but I know what song you're listening to.
'Listen, children, to a story that was written long ago........'
That song is one of actually dozens of pop hit bastardizations of Pachelbel's Canon.
Beatles' "I Love You More" Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes" to name a couple. Many more, especially if you count songs that only use it for the hook.
'Sit Down Young Stranger' is Gordon Lightfoot's main antiwar song. The album, "If you could read my mind," a song about divorce took over the album title from 'Sit down young stranger.'
You can download these to the desktop and play them on your player of choice. Not as convenient as http://youtube.com, but it's free folk/Lightfoot music, something I never pass up.
