Lyrics that sound familiar...
...but do you know which songs they're from?
(I know you can FIND them, but do you KNOW them?) (I've added pics of the answers)
1) Workin’ on mysteries without any clues
2) Half my life is in books’ written pages, l live and learn from fools and from sages
3) Your magic greets everyone who reads, heart-break in overdrive
4) But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you
5) Try to love you baby, but you push me away
6) Late at night a big old house gets lonely, I guess every form of refuge has it’s price
7) You keep on telling me, I ain’t your kind of man
8) There is no sense in pretendin’, your eyes give you give away
9) Rulers make bad lovers, you better put your kingdom up for sale
10) Can’t you see that I am not afraid, what was that promise that you made?

Southern Rock
I got to thinking about the genre known as “Southern Rock” as I watched Lynyrd Skynyrd be inducted to the R & R Hall of Fame earlier this week. Some say Southern Rock started with Elvis in the 50’s, or maybe with Creedence Clearwater Revival in the 60’s. Love them both but my fave So. Rock band has to be from the early 70’s – The Allman Brothers.
What bands come to mind when you think of Southern Rock?
What defines Southern Rock – is it the sound or the fact that the band is from the South?
Do you personally like Southern Rock?
Do you know where any of these bands originated from:
The Outlaws, Charlie Daniels Band, Molly Hatchet, Black Oak

Happy Birthday, Adam!
A bit of U2 trivia (if someone gets this right I will burn you a CD of all your fave U2 songs and mail it to you).When Bono introduced the band in concert (at least on this tour) he said something like this:
"The Edge got all the brains, Larry gets all the girls, I get the politicians and Adam got the _____________"
Fill in the blank!

Today's Young People Know Good Music!
I've read several articles lately on-line, and one in Rolling Stone about how young people are listening to more and more classic rock and keeping the sales of my old favorites in high numbers!
They think the "old music" is more original and just better (I agree). One high school student put it this way:
"They were more about the music then. Now it's more about being famous,"
This thrills me and I've seen it myself in my son's friends. They'll be driving in my car and can't believe all the cool music I have on my iPod, they love to talk to me about Hendrix, Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, Rush, Yes and on and on. They think I am so cool to like the music they listen to. HA!!!! I show them my concert ticket stub collection and they practically drool. I LOVE IT!
(P.S. My son (15) says he hates classic rock even though he can recognize all the greats (I have been "training" him in important history about it since he was two)
BUT, since I like it, he won't admit he does. I am "lame" and "uncool" no matter what his friends think. Yet, I often hear him humming a Doors tune or singing along to U2 - he can deny all he wants, but I know the truth!)

Long Awaited David Gilmore Solo Album
Today, March 7, 2006, was the release of David's 3rd solo album. For some background info on the making of the album, click here ( this is audio from NPR including a few song bytes)
He says he's glad his fingers move slow because if not he'd be tempted to do much faster guitar work - I'm glad too, we have plenty of that.
