Here's one of my favs from the 60's. It probably wouldn't fly nowadays.

Hey Road. I'm good. Are you coming back?

You're probably right.
No one could write a song like that today.
The politically correct police would not have it.

I'm not a fan of trying to rewrite history and whitewashing it to fit into today's standards.
I take things in the context of the time they were written.

That song does not offend me at all.
I think it's fun.

Agreed. There are a lot of examples of songs that would not be released today and frankly I'm surprised that the PC police haven't stopped them from being played on oldies stations. Two that come to mind are Ruby by Kenny Rogers. In it he says "If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground."

Another one is Delilah by Tom Jones. In it he says "She stood there laughing. I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more."

Chances are they don't even pay attention to oldies stations. Which is fine with me. These songs don't bother me at all.

I went to a wedding once where the band only knew a few songs, so every other song they played was Delilah.
After a while we all started singing along.
My, my, my, Delilah.
Why, why, why, Delilah.


A song about a man who murdered his cheating woman.
How appropriate for a wedding.

I would throw my panties, if I were wearing any.

Speaking of songs about death, is any else old enough to remember the 1960's teenage tragedy songs?

Great Tom Jones reference. Probably the youngsters on this board don’t know that women used to throw their panties on stage when he was performing.

Speaking of the 60's, Dick Dale passed away at 81. The King of surfer guitar.

Ah yes. Leader Of The Pack. I love it when she says “I met him at the candy store.”

Today it would be “I met him at the liquor store.”

We didn't have any major snow storms this winter, just a lot of small ones.
As of yesterday it's almost all melted.

I talked to my 89 yr old Father in law in Belleville On this morning, he said if it didn't stop snowing he was gonna put his damned Christmas tree back up.

Snow and ice here is melting fast now.

I was deliverying a rental car about 200 miles east of town and ran into a blizzard about 3 weeks ago.


The visibility was bad and suddenly I saw all the cars stopped in the freeway in front of me...I knew I couldn't stop in time so I had to shoot the gap between 2 cars and plummet into the median.

The snow was up to my door and I had to sit there for 2 hours before they pulled me out.

It was a big deal...cars off the road, a handful of wrecks, and emergency and tow vehicles all over the place.

I got lucky and managed to avoid damage and injury.

I'm glad spring is here.

To some degree...the other forum gets old.

Both forums have some ups and downs...there seems to be a higher number of nitwits on the other forum.


Enjoy this one while I try to find my old music thread.
