Well, as long as we are discussing old bass players who played Thunderbirds...
And I'll up the ante with:

'Well, Glee … it's uh … 3/4 good, and 1/4 not very nice!'
That just never sounds good. Kind of like shrimp ice cream. Some things I like individually but don't want mixed. I like coffee, but not coffee ice cream, candy, pop-tarts, etc..
I think Bowie is the only one who even came close to them as a musical force and influence.
I know. The raccoon (which I think I forgot to mention), that climbs up on the second floor to drink hummingbird water doesn't like my pump pellet. He doesn't hear it much, but feels it more.
I draw the line at garlic beer.
Trash pandas. We have tons in NYC.
First it was Frank Sinatra, Elvis and The Beatles, nothing has really had the impact of those three since then. I mean it's a different time, three major networks, no computers, no cell phones, no cable. I really don't know if phenomenons like those three could happen again.No reason unless you can find a .5 pig.
It wasn't until this forum that I recall knowing there were other humans who just didn't like or even care about the Beatles. I thought I was the only person on earth who wasn't a fan. A best friend I grew up with loved them. I would listen to albums at his house and was kind of like, "I don't get the fascination. Put on one of your Chicago albums." I liked a few songs. Lucy In the Sky, but liked the Elton version better. In fact, I would much prefer to listen to Elton than the Beatles. I don't know why they never clicked for me, but they just didn't.
Yeah, that may have been a slight exaggeration on my part. Then again...I've always liked Bread and think David Gates was a great song writer and singer, I don't think they had quite the impact on the world as the Beatles though.
No comment of the butc,.... I mean Elton John version. No it was good and brings back some good memories, but I really liked the bassline in the original and thought it was sacrilege. I really like 70's Elton John.
Agree. A perfect storm. A record store manager who had a vision and took them under his wing. A classical music producer who knew talent when he heard it. Four guys who had enormous raw talent and the brains to pretty much shut up and go with it. The JFK assassination that threw America into a period of depression. And about a year later, a Britain mourning the death of Churchill and realizing the world had changed forever. They came along at just the right time with great songs to make everyone feel better about the future. It'll never happen again.Oh yeah there have been a lot of greats but I mean the impact they had on the media. For example they had the largest TV viewing audience on the Ed Sullivan show up to that time, I believe Shea Stadium was the largest concert up to that time and is considered the first major concert, thousands of kids waiting for them at airports, comedians laughing at their hair. They were everywhere. The Beatles completely changed music. My cousins lived in LI, NY and went to Shea Stadium, they said all you could hear were the girls screaming.
That sounds equally disgusting. If you have a good beer, why add something to it? It's been years since I had a beer. Liked it the first time I tasted one and never wants anything else to flavor one. Though some nasty one's may have benefited from something. I never cared for mixed drinks. If liked the taste of the main ingredient I didn't want to cover it up. Though Jelly Beans were fun. More so if you don't light them first. A mixed bourbon drink was a travesty for me.
