cassette and recorded "Babe" for the weekend barbecue

party :D :D :D



Those were the days, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Boston

and a bunch of beers and spliffs :D :D :D

I prefer the Eric Cartman version of Come Sail Away to anything Styx did. Serpent is Rising was a decent record, especially the song Witch Wolf -- I still have it on LP. Then they went straight downhill from there.



I much prefer Iron Maiden and Balck Sabbath with Dio from that era. Reo & Styx were bands that you bought the record from just to impress your girlfriend. :)

Speaking of REO, remember this one?? Change a word, and it's still true, eh?? The more things change, the more they stay the same...



Debbie should love it!! :bcool



Quote:


"Anti Establishment Man" (1971)



Standing by the roadside

Old newspaper in my hand.

Reading yesterday's headlines,

Nothing new, I said it's all the same.

Everywhere!

I'm the fool of the year and I've been waiting

Twenty five years of anticipating

I've seen changes in my land



People I'm here to tell you,

I've been around since the world began.

Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,

I'm an anti-establishment man.




I'm tired of your treating

All of my children the same.

Everywhere!

Spending all that money

On a stupid war in Vietnam (Iraq?!)

(When we need it at home)



People I'm here to tell you,

I think it's 'bout time that the world began (all over!)

Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,

I'm an anti-establishment man.







:l

hahahahaha. Anti-establishment. :evil

:frankie



:wgrin

But I've never heard it, unfortunately.



Have you heard Mr. Businessman? A friend had me listen to it last year, and I actually learnt the song, the phrasing is something else! heh



Mr. Businessman

Ray Stevens



Itemize the things you covet

As you squander through your life

Bigger cars, bigger houses

Term insurance for your wife

Tuesday evenings with your harlot

And on Wednesdays it's your charlatan

analyst, he's high upon your list



You've got air conditioned sinuses

And dark disturbing doubts about religion

And you keep those cards and letters going out

While your secretary's tempting you

Your morals are exempting you from guilt and shame

Heaven knows you're not to blame



(CHORUS:)

You better, Take care of business Mr. Businessman

What's your plan?

Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can

(Before it's too late and you throw your life away)



Did you see your children growing up today

And did you hear the music of their laughter

As they set about to play

Did you catch the fragrance of those roses in your garden

Did the morning sunlight warm your soul,

Brighten up your day

Do you qualify to be alive

or is the limit of your senses so as only to survive

Hey yeah.....



Spending counterfeit incentive

Wasting precious time and health

Placing value on the worthless

Disregarding priceless wealth

You can wheel and deal the best of them

And steal it from the rest of them

You know the score, their ethics are a bore



Eighty-six anesthetic crutches prop you to the top

Where the smiles are all synthetic

And the ulcers never stop

When they take that final inventory,

Yours will be the same sad story everywhere

No one will really care, no one more lonely than

This rich important man, let's have your autograph

Endorse your epitaph



(CHORUS)

Ok, Ihaven't heard either one of those. But Golden Country kicked big boo-tay! And Ridin' the Storm Out was awesome.



But Keep On Lovin You? OK, I'll listen to it. Just coz she thinks it's "our song". SHEESH!

Never has a more accurate lyric paragraph been written IMO..."the road to the top is paved with a lot of dead bodies"; that was told to me once by a former Commander...what he meant was you had to Fu*k a lot of people over to get there....not my style or way of thinking...I transferred out of that bastard's command ASAP; truly sad many people think that way.

Ahh the old vinyl days

I always liked the Equinox album best...not their best but "Born for Adventure" always brings a smile to my face :wgrin

Another fav is "Living on borrowed time" I like the axes on that one. :dang
