The Things We Do For Love was literally the only song on AM radio for the entire last three years of the seventies. So I think to have not heard it, a person would have to be too young to have listened to the radio at all in the 70s. I am not 38 and I have heard it at least 10,000 times. Most of them when I was between the ages of 7 and 10. It is one of those things. It sticks with you.

You asked what age would a person have to be and you made me do math. Math is hard. But if a person were born in 1975 - that would make them 30 and the likelyhood that they ever heard that song in it's original status would be extremely low. 30 is not young, but definitely NOT OLD, but that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Dissent. 30 IS young, especially for this board.

It's after 6:00 in NYC and I realize you are probably already half in the bag, so I'll spell it out for you. Because you are the archetype of triteness, my mental images of you necessarily involve cliches. These days, the particular cliche that strikes me as most true is the stereotypical cranky, drunk, and crazy old man, shirtless and muttering. If it seems unoriginal to you, it is because all that you are has been done millions of times before in millions of more interesting ways.

You ask the big questions, yet you're wise enough to know there are no answers. Its all been asked and answered and said so many times before....

You're more "Roll the Bones":

Why are we here?
Because we're here
Roll the bones
Why does it happen?
Because it happens
Roll the bones

You could keep your Pat Boone collection.

And the Skynyrd.

Penske can correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Senator Byrd a Democrat?

I stumbled into a collection of original Beatles, Stones, CSNY records as a kid. Oh, and there was also a Gerry Rafferty record in there - City to City, containing Baker St.

My dad went through a phase where he listened to Floyd, but as they got older, it all passed into a godawful obsessions with broadway shows, Celtic music and opera stuff. Then last year, they suddenly got into blues and Motown. I think I know where I get my add and lack of consistency.

Your parents are hipper than mine. My dad has like five albums in rotation at any given time- Miles Davis, Diana Krall, a Frank Sinatra Duets, James Taylor's greatest hits (which I have banned them from listening to in my presence) and the Santana album with Oye Como Va.


My dad recently was telling me how Elvis Costello has ruined Diana Krall and at a recent show, all of her fans were totally disaffeected with her new stuff. I coudlnt believe my parents had bought a CD in the last ten years, knew who Elvis costello was or saw a show at Jones Beach. (I think).

I guess that means that the system has given me a Brazillian, as Mrs. dL is, in fact, expecting.

Congratulations!

Funny how Pros & Cons contains better Clapton guitar work than Clapton's last ten solo records. Radio KAOS is pretty good also.

I suggest trying out Gilmour's solo records. He's self titled one is allrighht, and About Face has loads of A List guests. Good shit.

My first concert ever was Gilmour's solo tour for About Face (I think I was 12 or so). Lawn seats with my older sister and her friends, lots of weed aroma and a guy sitting on a cooler next to the blanket we had for the entire show barfing his guts out. This led to a Boot Print (in every sense of the word) ending up on the blanket. Oh, how we laughed. It might have been the weed.

I had CSNY, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, the Beatles, Stones, Jimi Hendrix and the CCR growing up.

Are you and Sebby my parents?

I'll see your Santana and Sebby's blues and motown and raise you Tom Waits' "Nighthawks At The Diner," which they were playing in the car the last time I saw them. Admittedly, they did take out the Van Morrison CD to put the Waits in.

Yeah right whatever. But what do you think of the later Floyd albums?

Floyd is heavy man. I mean, reeaaaal heavy.

I picture Sebastian lying in his dorm room bed late at night with headphones on, at the tail end of of a particularly intense mushroom trip, staring at the Dark Side of the Moon poster on his ceiling and listening to Shine On You Crazy Diamond, while a tear slowly runs down his cheek.

I flipped on PBS the other night, and I caught the tail end of an Aussie Pink Floyd concert video. You know - Aussie Pink Floyd, the most successful Pink Floyd tribute band ever, the one that played for David Gilmour at his 50th birthday party? I learned all this during the interminable pledge breaks, which were actually slightly less painful than the concert itself.

I do give Gilmour major props for organizing a 50th birthday party at which the entertainment is a tribute band to him! I can only aspire to such narcissism.
