“So you feel like the gods are out to get you
You feel like you’ve fallen from grace
And you’d run again if they’d only let you
Welcome to the human race”
U2’s EP, Under A Blood Red Sky, was the first time I had ever heard of Red Rocks in Colorado. I knew then I wanted to go to a show there.
I’m not quite the fan as many people my age are of Prince’s music. There’s some I really like, and by far the one I like the most is U Got The Look (with Sheena Easton).
I have a love/ignore relationship with Blondie. There are 5 or 6 of their songs that are always welcome to my ears, including this one.
Misguided Angel is one of my favorites by the Cowboy Junkies. I absolutely love how Margo Timmins’ voice connects to the guitar playing.
Rolling Stones fans can tell this is mostly a Keith Richards song. From the album Tattoo You.
The Kings are kind of a one-hit wonder, although their big hit was really two songs, “The Beat Goes On” and “Switchin’ to Glide”, that almost always get played together on the radio.
So there was this record shop in Sacramento called The Beat. That’s where I found out about Red Box.
Home of the Brave by Laurie Anderson is one of the best concert films from the 1980s that you’re going to find. She was an early adopter of a lot of technology that we take granted in today’s music performances.
I’m a big fan of the live version. I think the guitars get a bit buried in a lot of the studio versions of Thin Lizzy’s music that really gets spotlighted in the live versions. I do prefer their live work.
