My last band used to do a killer version of "Pearl Necklace" by Top. We used to introduce it as a song about Jewelry. Right?????????? LOL

I'll know we've reached the pinnacle of political correctness once The Rolling Stones refuse to play their hit song "Brown Sugar". Until then pretty much anything goes as long as you have a clear exit route and a good lawyer. 
A large percentage of the Stones' catalog is politically incorrect.

As long as we are testing limits:
That song is a blast for a bass player. You can play one line on upright and the other on electric, or both on electric. It's a challenge, but it can be done.

In the mid 70s, a band I was in did the instrumental opening theme from a movie starring L.Lovelace. We introduced it as the "Theme from the movie of the same name". No one ever(admitted)recognizing it.
Back when I was gigging we used to play Walk on the Wild Side back to back with this...
Some of the crowd saw the link, everybody loved it.
I love Bowie on sax.
May I have a number please? Thanks... Phat.

Yeah sorry about the car talk...we get carried away sometimes....
AWESOME BASS!..
Oh no worries... cars are awesome too! It's all just part of rock'n'roll, right?
See, a comment like that, could likely derail this club into car talk and R&R for a few more pages..
Welcome! There is some talk of Thunderbirds here, and Gibson/Eppi basses in general get a lot of discussion. And yeah, we like our cars.
Nice Tbird! Mine only goes in the case to travel.
The Queen will be along at some point to issue your number. In the meantime I suggest you prepare yourself for the initiation....

Wow... that's gonna make the tablet wallpaper for a bit!
While some are well past their prime in their seventies, others just keep going and going. I had the pleasure to see NY on his short Crazy Horse tour a few months ago, and he still brings it and appears to have not slowed down at all. There are other “mature” acts I’ve seen recently though, that were just sad. It really depends on the individual, their, heath and how much they still want to be doing it.
Calling him dummy is too kind.View attachment 3192724
Seller states, "I scrubbed the cheesy graphic off of the pickguard."
Good job, dummy.
I'm glad he's selling it!
Nice Engle! Yours? What year?
I wish!!! I just googled "Thunderbird car and bass" and that image came up - along with a whole bunch of Tbirds with Subarus...

That's David Bowie? I didn't know that. I didn't know he even played sax.

My brother and I have been working this one out. Primarily because it is a cool Devo song. We think it adds to the cool that it is now politically incorrect.
Hey, isn't music supposed to challenge convention?
