The Kinks - Preservation: Act 1 - Where Are They Now

[pmoyer50]

Listening to the Kinks is an acquired taste. And I need my daily dose, thank you.

I just can't find anything to like in these Preservation albums. Just CAN'T. I just love the joy of "The Village Green Preservation Society" from happier earlier days of the Kinks. We ask TOO MUCH of our musical heros. Come on- any of us would be happy to have just "Waterloo Sunset" under our belts - let alone "Village Green." I'm not surprised he had his second breakdown around this time. He should have rested for a year.

Staffleberry

You are correct.

[Staffleberry]

This song is a sequel to "Celouid Heroes" just like " Sitting In My Hotel" is a sequel to "Waterloo Sunset" am I right?

[MindFlowersDotNet]

@Staffleberry Well said, a right on connection, I think. Ray's own feelings of isolation and realism about his fame come bleeding out in various ways. I am touched by the song's conclusion: "Rock and roll still lives on."

krankiekat....you have to be of a certain

age and english to get this one.

[toddy1968]

@mickbozo Not necessarily. 

[krankiekat]

crap and all along I thought Ray was god! LOL.???

[wndrboy]

krankiekat, you may have understated it. to be fair, Ray is a much better writer than God.

RAY!!!! I love that man, I love his voice. I love this song. I love the Preservation albums.

[krankiekat]

Preservation Act One and Act Two by the KinKs is more important that the Bible! God save the KinKs!

[kinkkinda]

soooooooooo great this song.

[ANIMA52]

[cpartilecoco]
