I love that songs. The only problem with streaming services* is that it is two separate songs, so on shuffle they are treated as songs that can be split apart and it doesn't sound right if they aren't played sequentially in the correct order.


* Not really the only problem. More accurately the only one of concern for the current discussion.

A very popular high school cruising album on the Central Coast circa ‘75.

We always liked Cheap Sunglasses for cruising. Then as passenger you rifle thru the glove box to find Mom's sunglasses, put them on and change the lyrics to Mom's sunglasses.

We would also keep pressing the garage remote control to see if anyone else had the same code...

The trouble is that doing the same thing over and over can get boring; both for the fans and for the band.

Doing the same thing over and over has worked for AC/DC, but I think they are the exception rather than the rule. The bands I have followed for decades have all progressed in their music. Had they not, I probably would have gotten bored and they may have to.

Consider Rush. They have had distinct periods, each punctuated by a live album (first album being the exception - an era of 1 album). The first period was the side long epics. Great stuff, but I wouldn't still be listening if they hadn't gone beyond that. Then there was the new wave era. Very interesting at the time, but again I would have gotten bored. Certainly throughout all the eras, you could hear what they were listening to in their music, but their music always came through. Progress while being true to themselves.

Even Metallica, after doing 4 albums essentially the same, they found a need to move on. They lost some fans because they "sold out" (friends don't let friends cut their hair) but they probably gained more than they lost.

U2 is the example of doing the same over and over, no wonder they're considered a laughingstock. I don't know how they're still in the music industry.

Oh how I wish I could justify it. Had I not bought the NR, I would just to satisfy my curiosity. But I'm glad I bought the NR in the stunning Burgundy.

Just a general observation, nearly every used bass on that site is listed at a higher price than can easily be found elsewhere.

I know. I was thinking the prices were all well over realistic prices that can be found other places. I don't know if they are all wanting offers or not, but the listed prices are inflated.
