The Great Gig in the AMC

Went to see Us and Them this week.  I was really looking foward to hearing the Great Gig in the Sky in the theare on the big speakers, as I have never seen Pink Floyd live.  The sound quality let me down, but rarely do you see a cover done better than the original.  Clare Torry's vocals on the Dark Side of the Moon's Great Gig in the Sky are just jaw dropping.  Make your heart skip a beat, feel everything prickle of skin on your body, amazing. The feeling I had for the ladies trying to do this a solid, was just a bummer. 
I work closely with 2 24 year old guys, and I asked the one, we affectionately refer as "Young Bitch"
(thanks Pete Davidson) if he has ever seen the Wall.. really no? Who raises these kid? Really, no Pink Floyd?  Amazing.

The ladies from Us and Them reminded me of the Buggles...

Has there ever been a cover of The Great Gig in the Sky better than Clare Torry?  I reallylove the reaction YouTube vidoes.

Serious.. Kentucky?

Produced Band vs. Bank Produced

Kitchen Stands Offs : Vol 3 : - Prine: Prine vs Raitt

Agreed,  this is a John Prine OG
"Angel from Montgomery" is a song written by John Prine,^[1] originally appearing on his self-titled 1971 album John Prine.

1. Sounds  more authentic from a woman
2. Bonnie Raitte kills it.
3. I buy every word John Prine is saying thru her
4. Magic

So Don't Confuse My Love With What I Do.

There are times when I don't see the light.
I don't know if what I do is right.
But when I'm wrong, it's never meant for you,
So don't confuse my love with what I do.

A Cold Moon Shines Down on Every Man.

Penitent sinners on the road to salvation,
with a dollar in the coffer and some pious resignation.
I don't understand.
Great works of great men to whom we are indebted.
Man does the work but God gets the credit.
I don't understand.
Am I a foolish man?
A cold moon shines down on every man.

Super Cool Guys

Our CFO retired this week.

This guys, Bob, was so damn cool.  When I was shaggin' coffee in the am, and he'd be getting his decaf, I'd always some random question.  The point of the questions, was to get Bob to tell me how damn cool he was. And he was damn cool.  Bob played rugby, Bob drove a Batman style BMW, Bob played hip hop in his corner office. 

I am not exactly sure how I learned that Bob was from the Bronx, and spent weekend on the Jersey shore. But his guy.. oh this guy.. this guy was the example of how I want to be revered in 20 years.

Me shaggin coffee.. "Hey Bob, what was the last show you saw at Asbury Park"
Bob... "It was Skynyrd right before the plane crash"

Bob told be about seeing Springsteen in Jersey in the 70s.  Bob talked about sleeping under the boardwalk.

Why can't I get an uncle like that to see at Thanksgiving?

Bob reminds me of the Biden, as the Vice President.  The memes about Biden and his Trans-Am, Biden & Obama's bromance. Was soo good!

It hurts my soul to watch him debate, I don't want to my beloved uncle tore up, misspeak, say things that don't align with my beliefs.. I want my Uncle Biden back.  I want Joe to stay in the happy place in my heart.

I love him, but he's not my nominee..

But I Can't Stand the Thought of Going Home

Let's drive around
I want to see how other people live
Green lips, palaces kissing the hillside
Take your pick
Every dream exactly like the last
You and I in a canyon on fire

 

 

Who would I be without you?
