Inspired by the first video below, here is a short list of songs in which I’d like to have played bass guitar, on stage with these artists (and no, I was never as good as the featured bassists, but so what):
Little Brown Bird (Tal Wilkenfeld, Clapton/Beck)
The Confessor (Dave The Bass Player, Joe Walsh)
Sometime World (Martin Turner, Wishbone Ash)
Sledgehammer (Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel)
Every time I hear the bass on these songs, I get an attack of the If Onlies…
So this Monday’s all about tragic sex.
And speaking of threesomes:
Now get yourselves off… to work.
She graduated high school at age 14, and then she went to college to study law. Fortunately, sanity prevailed and she went into a musical career, then into movies.
One of her co-stars is reported to have said that she had the “most kissable mouth in Hollywood”. That’s some strong competition, but Gertrude Michaels would have been right up there… still, I’ll let everyone else be the judge.
The bits below the lips weren’t too bad, either:
She would have been a lousy lawyer, anyway.
Yesterday was Ladies Day at Aintree — which brought out the very best of Scouser fashion.
Follow the link to Train Smashdom at your peril. Herewith a few samples:
Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Here’s the story of the Lancia company — and the title says it best: The Power Of Fun.
My favorite Lancia models (in order):
Fulvia HF
D50 F1 (as driven by Fangio)
Stratos
Aurelia B24
Stradale
Every time Lancia decided to enter some form of racing, they’d win, win big and win with some groundbreaking new technology. Very few (if any) auto companies can make the same claim.
I just wish they hadn’t been so horribly shafted by parent company Fiat… but that’s the corporate world for you.
From the Knuckledragger:
“You know, a wise person would take a look at the [Bud Light] ad and the losses that Anheuser-Busch has taken, put two and two together and then realize that the huge majority of Americans are sick and tired of this tranny bullshit.”
Silly rabbit: that assumes the existence of wisdom in Corporate America.
