    How on earth can you think with that kind of noise..:smack:crazy:crazy:crazy

    actually it depends on which specific noise you refer too...i absolutely love some tracks from Metallica, but absolutely hate the rest....<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/ne_nau.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" > so its kinda weird. i guess having 6 of 6 of my CD slots in my car filled with Metallica cds should speak for itself......:D

    Kat,
    Toto's Africa, i love that song.
    Men at Work, love love that group... love that group, or did i mention that already?:D
    Eagles= give or take...like but i wouldnt buy.
    why didnt you mention DuranDuran?<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/ne_nau.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

    Dnie,
    how about this one? whats your take on it...?

    lyrics for the ones that dont have them memerized:D

    "No Leaf Clover"

    And it feels right this time
    On his crash course with the big time
    Pay no mind to the distant thunder
    New day fills his head with wonder, boy

    Says it feels right this time
    Turned it 'round and found the right line
    �Good day to be alive, sir
    Good day to be alive,� he says

    Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
    Was just a freight train coming your way
    Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
    Was just a freight train coming your way

    Don't it feel right like this?
    All the pieces fall to his wish
    �Sucker for that quick reward, boy
    Sucker for that quick reward,� they say

    Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
    Was just a freight train coming your way
    Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
    Was just a freight train coming your way
    It's coming your way

    Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
    Was just a freight train coming your way

    Then it comes to be
    Then it comes to be <!--ringtones and media links -->

    oh yes, DuranDuran.. Have their CD too....

    I also dig Alan Parson's Project... clap.gif

    These are all get the juices flowing music... but when I am stuck on post process highway, ughhhhh.. I like the upbeat.. Gorillaz "Dare" - The Sweet- Ballroom Blitz, now that one really keeps me going for some reason.. don't ask why.. Earth Wind and Fire -September is awesome too,, good old funky mo-town/ disco.. classics, Chuck Mangioni -feels so good and there is a hidden Gem in Eric Johnson.. Love Eric Johnson.

    and then when I really want to dig deep into recesses of creativity,,, Vivaldi.. oh yes..thumb.gif

    I have one crazy playlist huh?

    Kat


    P.S. Toto's Africa - Is my all time favorite song ever... That kind of talent is rare these days..

    I sang a gig with APP, believe it or not (well, we were on the same bill - it was a "Proms" concert in Europe with lots of mixed bag stuff - I was doing something with the symphony orchestra, but APP had a slot on the program later in the performance. We got to know them a little because they were very helpful to the Young Classical Singers who were completely CLUELESS about that kind of a gig, and they were very sweet as we tried to figure out how it all worked)

    There ya go. My claim to fame :D

    funny thing about Foo Fighters videos is that the band members (all male)play all the parts to the "story". (something about seeing one of them with a wig, lipstick, and a dress gets a chuckle out of me, besides the usual funny "story")

    Aaron, I realy like that one too. I can't say that I would be a major fan of theirs, but they are great to listen to when I am in that mood.

    I got to thinking, I really have always had a broad range of taste in music. When I was young, my brother and sister passed me all their old records (yes young'uns there once were things called records. They looked like big black CD's)
    From them I got Beatles, Led Zepplin, Jethro Tull, etc... Then of course I liked the teeny bopper stuff, Donny Osmond, David Cassidy (yes, I admit to both)
    Then there was all the time spent at the VFW and that was pure, old fashioned, REAL country. Johnny Cash (Boy named Sue was my favorite), Tanya Tucker, I still love Delta Dawn, makes my kids nuts! And the one I hate to admit to...Buck Owens, Tiger by the Tail. By the way, he was born in this town...<sigh> At 14 I discovered Peter Frampton and fell in love. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/Laughing.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >... still am.
    Music now is anything like classic Rock to country. The one thing I can't take is Rap. and... my current favorite video is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQyZBU28q88&feature=player_embedded

    See what happens when we finish and have time to play around here? :D

    Yes the Foo Fighters. I cannot say I am a big fan of them but that song rocks.
    Especially set to ski and snowboard videos. It is not the exact one I had originally seen but it is a good one.
    Donna i am like you my music is all over the place

    Me?.. I backed up the Marshall Tucker Band once back in 1977.. Well actually I'm talking about the toilet in their garage studio..rolleyes1.gif

    I did a 10 year stint in the Desert near Palm Springs. Work for the Cable TV company. Yes I was the Cable guy to the stars. Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Ginger Rogers, Hal Linden, Pres Gerald Ford.(we had oral surgery the same day my wife hung out with the secret service in the waiting room.) Merv Griffin and Robert Loggia watched me work on his system one night, it was a trip.
    OK my claims to fame that I can at least mention

    EDIT: Early 90's famous. I guess they've actually been around longer than I thought.

    It was not that exciting. In Frank Sinatra's house all the TV remotes had to have all the buttons disabled except for the on/off, channel and volume or he would screw everything up and start throwing things. They are all people like you and me, but somehow stumbled on to the right thing and made tons of money. I do not get the celebrity thing even more so since I had to work around them. I was treated better and far enjoyed providing service to the poorer areas. The Palm Springs and Palm Desert area is quite a contrast of rich and poor. Big beautiful Country Clubs with farm labor camps right next to them.

    Im not even sure if i would reconize "Stars" in real life... i would likely just think i knew them from somewhere and just be extra nice and act like i know them...kinda like when you goto a reunion and your nice to everyone even though you have no idea who they are....:D
    and if i did reconize someone and was sure, i guess that i would just treat them the same as any other person i met... I run into Tourists from around the globe regularly and usually find myself in great conversation with them.

    +1 15524779-Ti.gif Have to agree on the whole "celebrity" thing.

    Now, a story that Hoofie will like...

    One year at Santa Barbara when I was still riding as a junior, I remember one of the over-18 gals coming back to the barn bright pink and full of giggles. Paul Newman was wandering around (one of his daughters rode), and she started waxing lyrical to the woman in the bleachers next to her about how he she'd always had a crush on him, was thrilled to see he really was as good-looking in person, and wow those eyes were amazing etc etc.

    The woman laughed and said, "Well I think so... which is why I married him". Yep, it was La Woodward totally unrecognizable in Horseshow Mom mode. She thought it was hilarious and was laughing as hard as my stablemate (although not as embarrassed!).

    When I was in the international salesman mode, I think it was 2000 during the Gory-Bush election, I was in Bangkok at the Shangri-La hotel. There was one of the big golf tournaments in town, the Johnny Walker classic, and a lot of the pros were staying at the hotel. I went down to the gym and got right onto a lifecycle and started going at it. The gym was L shaped, with all of the weights around the corner and out of sight. I noticed a bunch of kids coming in and out of the area very excitedly. Then some body-guard looking guys came around the corner shushing the kids out of the room, and then he came round the corner and sat on the cycle next to me and started going at it as well. I couldn't think of anything to say other than "well, how'd you play today, Tiger?" He just said "well enough I suppose.." (I had no idea that he'd taken a 2 shot lead that day... He went on to win the tourney.) I just said good luck, shook his hand, and left......
