Oh. My. Goodness.
So this is Tom Jones with CSN&Y. This made my day. Thanks, Farley Farley Farley!
When you’re young (i’ll be fifty in exactly one year, thanks), you have this idea that the music you like is better than the music you don’t like or some other genre. See “disco sucks” or “death to all but metal”.
If you’re lucky, you learn early on (I didn’t) that good music is good music. This clip is one of the great things about music. I won’t attempt to define it.
Five Minutes of Evil!!!
I haven’t been listening as I should… as I promised both of you. Please forgive me. I either miss GB because I go in later than usual or listen to music or talk to myself.
But, I finally listened a couple days ago and he seems to have rounded a corner since the rally. He talked about god answering prayers and that “the very gates of hell” are going to open up.
He still hasn’t said anything evil. He’s just talking about stupid religious stuff. I’m sure lots of the people who think he’s evil talk about stupid religious stuff. I will use broad strokes here and posit that since most of the people who hate him are on “the left”, they don’t go to “church” but do that thing that’s even worse which is call themselves “spiritual”. I prefer people who make a commitment to an ideal. Even if it’s so invisible as to not exist at all.
I respect fundamentalists christians more than someone who breathes a cleansing orange light into their heart chakra at a weekly yoga class. If you’re a fundamentalist who has actually studied, then you’re not a lazy know-it-all like the light-breathers.
It’s the same concept I apply to heroin addicts vs. wine drinkers. I don’t want to hang out with either one, but the heroin addict sure does make a commitment: “I want to get so high, I can’t feel anything” as opposed to the wine drinker: “Oh, dear no, the alcohol is secondary… I love the bouquet on this vintage… blah blah blah…” Liar.
Speaking of respect. It’s been a bad year for the show biz. So bad that both of us are losing our SAG health coverage.I put the word out among friends that I had very little time to earn $7k before we were kicked to the curb.
Only one friend came through and he came through in spades.
Thank you, old friend.
Coolest guy in the universe
Yes, I’m a little late on this but…
Coreyoke has added the Animalsess’s “house of the rising sun” and I stumbled upon this video of The Animals performing the song on some 60′s T.V. shoe.
Eric Burdon is so fucking cool in this. Mercy.

Corey Hamm

Oh my
If you’re ballsy enough to leave that safe cocoon of your living room on a wednesday night and journey out into the real world where people actually live their lives instead of hiding from death and ever see Coreyoke and someone requests “Sweet Child ‘O Mine” and you are female and have an empty chair in front of you, it’s highly likely that Corey Hamm will stand on that chair and serenade you with the opening bass solo.
Then you will know what it is like to be an American human being.
