David Andrews Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) From the grave, Lou Reed predicts the Capitol riot: I've declared a truce, so stop your fighting The marshall is in town I won't put up with no big mouth yapping At least not while I'm around This is my friend Ace, he's from the 8th precinct Nothing goes on that he don't know And we've been sent ‘cause your arguments Have been going on for too long And before one of you hurts the other one of you I'm declaring martial law I came, I saw, I declared martial law I'm the marshall in the city The jails are filled with people like you You oughta listen to your diddy-wah-diddy What's a girl like you doing with that lamp You better drop that down on the floor And son, that isn't very smart Kicking a hole in that door Hey, Ace will you take a look at this place And get those neighbors out of the hall I'm declaring martial law I came, I saw, I declared martial law 'Cause I'm the marshall in the city And if you stand away, I've got something to say That I might even help you Keep your hands to yourself and keep your big mouth shut Don't you touch nobody with hate-hate-hate-hate And if all you've got is poison in your mouth Make sure that you don't speak It's 3: 30 in the early morning Don't punch, don't scratch, don't bite Try not to take the garbage of the day Any place but outside Now me and Mr. Ace are gonna leave this place And this fighting's gonna end And if we're called back, I'm gonna knock you flat And stack you end to end I came, I saw, I declared martial law I'm the marshall in the city Edited January 20, 2021 by David Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Varnell Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 The greatness of this Quadrophenia scene stands out in the current context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Niederhut Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) For some reason, I was never a big fan of the Quadrophenia album-- in contrast to Who's Next. IMO, Who's Next ranks among the greatest rock albums in history for the high quality of the song writing, ensembles, (guitars, synthesizer, Entwhistle's horns, violin, etc.) and musicianship. Every song was a masterpiece. (I was also a big fan of Walter/Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach Moog synthesizer recordings at the time.) What an outstanding, ground-breaking piece of work it was.

Cliff Varnell Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I’m starting to warm up to this guy. Biden pitching a much vaster climate plan than Obama ever attempted Climate activists celebrate "major step forward," while oil industry warns of costs. https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2021/01/27/biden-climate-prders-energy-463051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bacon Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 People can say whatever they want about Biden, but one thing is clear: he is totally and completely commited to turning the United States toward peace in the long term. You can see it when he speaks. He's got no hidden agenda. Reminds me of John Kennedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Niederhut Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) My wife bought me a thing called an "Echo Star" speaker for Christmas, with a three month subscription to Amazon Music. I'm a Luddite who never really made the leap from vinyl and CDs to IPOD and streaming music, so this has been an interesting toy for me. It's like having a Juke Box where you can ask "Alexa" to play obscure old songs that you haven't listened to for over 50 years because you never bought the record or CD. Like, "Alexa, play Sukiyaki." 🤥 Anyway, one of my older sisters had a Donovan Leitch record back in the 60s that I used to listen to before she went off to college in the late 60s. So I asked Alexa to play, "Hurdy Gurdy Man." I was immediately impressed with the drumming and lead guitar playing on the recording. So I looked it up on Wikipedia. Donovan wanted Jimi Hendrix to record the song, but he ended up recording it in the spring of '68 with three studio musicians-- Jimmy Page, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones-- shortly before they formed the band Led Zeppelin. In other words, this is, more or less, the first Led Zeppelin recording in history, sans Robert Plant. Edited February 21, 2021 by W.

I wonder if they recorded any of his other songs at the time? Mellow Yellow was catchy, Atlantis is trippy. I always liked sunshine superman and season of the witch. Here's a little funkier version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
