I got a quite a few, here's the one's I remember most vividly:

1. When my girlfriend died, I was told whilst listening to the song "Disappointed" by Morrissey

2. Bodyguarding Elton John at his concert, catching myself singing his song with this old lady who had come to the front and we sang together

3. Dancing to "God Save the Queen" by the Pistols on my 25th birthday and falling down the stairs at the same time

Got a few more but will save em for later

What is the one segment of time that stands out the most vividly in your mind where LISTENING to music was involved...not PLAYING it, but LISTENING to it....whether it was at a concert or on the bus or in your car or at home or while on a trip...whatever...that one piece of history you will NEVER forget...enhanced by the music you were listening to...and what was that song/tape/CD??

I'll give you mine after some of you post...if you want to post...should have some interesting stories here... :thumb

Great question Seismic!

Does this count? Kim (SOS) and I were sitting at my house years ago chatting. Suddenly I jumped up - pointed at the stereo and I couldn't speak! Kim said "What? That's just Distance (a SOS song) and I said 'That's not a CD - that's the RADIO!" She suddenly clicked and we were like 2 looneys jumping up and down POINTING at the radio screaming & laughing "We're on the radio! We're on the radio!" hahahahahahahaha That was the first time I heard my music/vocals on the radio. hahahahahahahahahaha

I'm desperately trying to think of something else that was a vivid musical moment - the only things that come to mind are slushy romantic stuff and I dont' want to post that! :wgrin

My GOD, Clif...that had to be devastating..I can sure understand why it would be #1 on your list... :eek

Chris....GREAT STORY!! I can see you two jumping up and down arm in arm right now....GLOWING with excitement and happiness!! Fantastic!!

Drooly...I've been there and done that for sure..."Madman Across the Water" was my favorite EJ album....I think it was his second.....hit after hit after hit....Tiny Dancer, Levon, Madman Across The Water, Rotten Peaches, and my two MOST favorite...Holiday Inn and Razor Face (reminds me of my Dad).... :thumb

Razor Face

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

"Has anybody here seen Razor Face

I heard he's back looking for a place to lay down

Must be getting on

Needs a man who's young to walk him round

Needs a man who's young to walk him round

Oh it must be hard for the likes of you to get by

In a world that you just can't see through

And it looks so cold

How does it feel to know you can't go home

How does it feel to know you can't go home

Come on Razor Face my old friend

I'll meet you down by the truck stop inn

With a bottle of booze in the back of my car

You're a song on the lips of an aging star

Razor Face, oh amazing grace

Protects you like a glove

And I'll never learn the reason why

I love your Razor Face."

Holiday Inn

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

"Boston at last and the plane's touching down

Our hostess is handing the hot towels around

From a terminal gate to a black limousine

It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn

Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired

Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired

Kicking your heels till the time comes around

To pick up your bags and head out of town

Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man

I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands

And you ain't seen nothing till you've been

In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn."

WHO'S NEXT??

Wierd - "Stay Free" by the Clash reminds me of my dad. We used to play cards together every evening and he would let me turn my stereo up and "Stay Free" i used to sing loudly then cut out during the rude words :ohno

... hahahahaha. Great song though.

p.s. is that Goldberg? Please say no cos I don't wanna know anything about WWF, or WWE, or IRA, or TCP, or whatever the logo is now
