Game On! Last Song Word is Yours

[Old Grinner]

Sounds a little tinny like an old am transitor radio from the 70's
but good to me

That song was a big deal when I was in high school . . .. I still have it on 45 RPM. With $5 you could put gas in Dad's car, take your date to Micky D's after a movie, and have change left over.

Another from that era.

"Imagine" - John Lennon

[Old Grinner]

"In the Air Tonight" - Phil Collins

You may remember this from a Miami Vice episode.

Here he is, live outdoors, June of 1990 . . ..

[Old Grinner]

"Brother's in Arms" - Dire Straits

[relic]

Poetic champions compose
This guy wrote some good stuff
But this song hits home

[relic]

can I squeeze this in?

[Old Grinner]

"Creep" - Radiohead



And who's the creep who left the lady with all this?

[Old Grinner]

"Subdivision" - Rush

Condos and Apartments are out . . . single family dwellings are in. Who would have ever thought in this day and age?

I guess "social distancing" is part of the new normal in more ways than one.

[Old Grinner]

"I Want to Know What Love Is" - Foreigner



"Summer Of '69" - Brian Adams

[Old Grinner]

"Separate Ways" - Journey



"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" - Otis Redding

[Old Grinner]

"Maggie May" - Rod Stewart

Late 60's cars and bikes were fairly new when this song hit the charts . . ..

[relic]

In 1971 Rod ruled with that album, kind of a heartbeat of the time.
Just graduated then.

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Rolling Stones

[Old Grinner]

"Can't You See" - Marshall Tucker Band

B&W TVs and rooftop antennas still dominated the countryside.

I thought of that song after Maggie May but kept thinking and remembered looking into my fathers eyes
when I was five at the end of his life
seems like we were cheated

I had a moment like that also but much later in my life . . .. I only hope that I will face my last days with the courage and strength that he did.

Now that I'm approaching what would have been "his" last few years I try to appreciate just the important things in life and "Live in the Now". It really is about family, health, and peace of mind.

On a lighter note here's some "upbeat" songs that go well on a Friday . . . especially in these tough times.

Cheers!

"Don't Worry Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin



"I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" - Coca Cola 1971



"Silver Threads and Golden Needles" - Linda Ronstadt

[you you]

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Rolling Stones

That has to be a touchstone on at least trying to enjoy life.

Now you spoiled it with sugary bollox.
