Jeffrey Steele "These Days" Live at Casino Rama

[iluvmusickp]

He got rid of chrome.. I'm bummin a bit over that.. that was one of my favs... oh well.. maybe it'll pop up again somewhere....

[iluvmusickp]

I think he'd be doing some serious 'rock' if he had the chance..

I prefer the soft side of his music... though I just love 'chrome', and there are so many others i like.

[EveKauai]

At this point in his career, he can do whatever he wants!...rock, country, countrypolitan - THE LOT!!

;)

Personally, i like it when an artiste is versatile - not that it's a requisite of being a really good or great artiste, just that i think it keeps things fresh and interesting!

[iluvmusickp]

EVE, u are crackin me up so bad..!!!! you are SUCH a capricorn...hell ya.. my sister's moon is there.. god..she never, ever even buys her husband anything for his birthday..

nope.. calls him fuzzy bunnies and white puffy clouds..

yeah, he's a bit sentimental!

[EveKauai]

HEYYYY - i ALWAYS bought MY husband birthday presents..even though the ones he bought for me always SUUUCKED!!! (He used to love mine, tho'...go figure! That's because i was PAYING ATTENTION to what he liked, whereas he...well, YOU do the math!!)

;)

[iluvmusickp]

My sister never wears her ring, says it won't fit, and she never ever buys him ANYTHING.. even for christmas.. :0(.....

I kinda feel bad.. she's a bit jaded... or unsentimental.. this is her second marriage.. he's like 10 years younger than her.. He's a good guy.. oh well.. that's her I guess... she's got my father in her BIG TIME!!!!

[iluvmusickp]

Luv the other lines too... 'life throws you curves, and learn to swerve me, I swung and I miss.. next thing ya know, I'm reminiscing..

really great metaphors.. you don't need the bible dictionary to get his stuff!!!!

[EveKauai]

Personally, i don't need a bible dictionary for ANYthing....

;)

Nice metaphors - yes, i agree. Bit bloody WISTFUL, though!!!

[iluvmusickp]

LOL!!!!

[iluvmusickp]

OK, eve noone's ever gonna accuse you for being 'had' by Mr. S's fictional lyrics..yeah, he probably prefers gals with short hair for all we know..

but we all luv to dream bout' it...

LOL!!!

[EveKauai]

Hey - he's not done yet; give him time, he MIGHT come up with a lyric that has me swooning the way he manages to do to you...

!!

True that we all dream about a guy being THAT attentive to little details...but only gay guys ever are!!! My two homosexual friends notice aaaalll that stuff...i got involved with two (other!) closet-gay guys (in my long history of romantic entanglements!!!) who were both REALLY good at that, too...hey, guess that should've clued me in right there!!!

;)

[iluvmusickp]

Some guys CAN be sentimental without being GAY... I think..may bro-in law is totally like that.. he is not gay, he's a truck driver for pete's sake... it depends on the guy.. yeah, I'd hate to get entangled with a homo.. no thanks..god...

LOL!!!!

[EveKauai]

Yes well you have a point, there...in fact, a guy near me 'fell hard' for me as soon as i relocated here and sent me smoochy love poems nearly EVERY DAY FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS!! Some of it actually quite good. But he's so NOT for me, for several reasons...but yes, it has occurred to me more than once whilst patiently wading my way through the latest batch (he sent a me a couple more a few weeks ago in some sudden urge/revived attempt to win my heart - i guess?!) HOW NICE HE WRITES ME LOVE POEMS!!!

[iluvmusickp]

hmm, see.. there are some really really nice fuzzy bunny and white puffy cloud type men out there..u just want the rough and tumble type..

pst..... too bad!!! I think sentimental guys are a rare breed.. nice.. I wonder if they're good.. well not going there girl!

[EveKauai]

No no no noooo - y'got me ALL wrong; i HATE 'em ruff!! - wont' put up with it AT ALL (had ONE physically abusive lover early in life and learned A LOT...FAST!!!)

;)

Just want someone MATURE AND ALL GROWN UP!! Is that too much to ask?!?

(well it IS of a 22-year old, i admit...but then you roll with that from the get-go 'cause you know in advance that's not a realistic expectation...but when they're over 35 and STILL behaving like adolescents? - puleeze!!!)

[iluvmusickp]

Sometimes you have to dream babe... it livens the soul!!!

Yeah!

[EveKauai]

(BIG Sigh...!!) - well, it's RARE that a straight guy (a) notices those things, (b) mentions 'em!!! Be bloody nice if they did. And i don't mean in that calculated 'Oh i know if i say something nice about her hair or clothes, i'll get lucky tonight' way...i mean FOR REAL... LIKE THEY MEAN IT....LIKE THEY NOTICE THE GIRL FOR WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE IS AND HER INTRINSIC WORTH AS A WOMAN not just some prop for HIM...OK i'll shut up now i've said 'nuff....

;)

[iluvmusickp]

One of the guys I work with is totally like that.. he talks constantly about his kids.. is very sentimental...ya know he's from kentucky.. maybe the midwest/south guys are better at that.. who knows really..

ya men are into T& A mostly.. and will say what's necessary to get to the goalie.... if you know what I mean..

LOL!

[iluvmusickp]

So you basically think Mr. Steele made this lyric up b/c he's basically pandering to the female audience....

Nah, never.. no pandering for him..

I think he may pander big time..this guy is a smart fella..

definitely!

[EveKauai]

...not consciously - i don't think he's a pandarer...

...or a philanderer!!!...

I just think there's his 'songwriter/poet Self' over THERE, with a total disconnect between that Self & the rest of him. I mean, i have never heard him say ANYTHING remotely like that in real life - not even about his wife. I don't think he is a guy who pays any compliments in real life - just in songs...which make him seem like an amazing lover/husband to his female audience! NOT a deliberate trick - an illusion.

[iluvmusickp]

the dude is smart!!!

he's totally pandering!!! that's why he's such a success!!!

well maybe he is fuzzy bunnies, and white puffy clouds.. we'll never know will we EVE??? unless WE are get lucky with Mr. S...

ahhahahhahahhaahhahahah

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[EveKauai]

You go ahead - try your luck (if that's what it IS - ?)

!!

I'll wait in the wings with the dustpan and brush...tosweep up the pieces of your broken heart!!!

[iluvmusickp]

Oh, com'on .. break my heart for a rock star...or should I say country star...

ever heard 'voice on the radio'.. it's by Marie' Digby.. I think she nails it there...... ya don't want to fall in luv with the voice on the radio... totally unrealistic!!!

[EveKauai]

...but what about those of us who ARE a 'voice on the radio' (a few times, anyway)...and hang out with other 'voices on the radio'?!

Not so simple, my online nursing buddy...LOTS of blurred lines!!

;)

Woke up the other night crying over the sudden memory of my former fiance's GORGEOUS song he wrote for/inspired by me not long after we got together:-

"..one day you'll break my heart; i hope you break it slow -

I hope i'm man enough to take it when you go...'

THEN GUESS WHO DID THE CHEATIN'?!?

[iluvmusickp]

AND who was this????

hmmm, must be tough.. I simply luv Marie's song there..she's got a point...

you CAN'T WORSHIP a rock star.. unless your a playmate..

that may work.. not sure!!

but a nurse like me...nah.. just want his tracks...that's about it!!

HA!

[EveKauai]

hmmm....not telling. But there's been more than one like that. Comes with the territory!! Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes not...(well OK it's ALWAYS worth it! - but i'm a tad tired of having my heart broken, in case you hadn't noticed!!)

;)

As for 'worship'? - i reserve THAT act for one 'person' only (and contrary to popular belief, i don't believe that's a man!!!)

;)

[iluvmusickp]

ahhh, eve... Well I simply can't relate since I LIVE and WORK in the real world.. a world simply void of rock stars.... the only voices on the radio in my area are probably DJ's...LOL!!!!

Never really entertain the thought of ACTUALLY meeting a true 'voice'...

sounds like a fun thought though..

LOL!!

[EveKauai]

Well i don't know any rock stars (anymore) either...PLENTY of talented people, tho'!! - and y'know what? My world is VERY real to me...

;)

'Real voices' tend to be a bit larger-than-life...a bit more temperamental than most...passionate (and so easily misunderstood by most)...sensitive...hard to handle...and driven; INCREDIBLY, unfathomably driven - to the point of obsessiveness.

(...takes one to know one!!!)

;)

[iluvmusickp]

funny, people always misunderstand.. always.. I guess our real worlds aren't that far apart... except I don't live on a beach.... rats!!!!

[EveKauai]

Happy to report that i don't live ON a beach, but in a house nearby...

;)

[iluvmusickp]

NOPE, no philanderer...but listening to some of his song..

hmmmmm, I wonder...

but panderer.... definitely!!!! yeah, he plays up the southern hick thing, the anti yankees.. yep... panders definitely.. albeit, he's a california transplant... HA !!!

oooopsssss.... maybe I shouldn't post this..

[EveKauai]

Too late!! The curse of UTube...THE DEED IS DONE!!!

;)

The world will know EXACTLY what u think about JS...

!!

JS will yell at YOU when you go to his shows...

;)

(Try wearing dark shades and a baseball cap - should do the trick!)

[iluvmusickp]

why would I have to EVE he has absolutely NO idea what I look like...

LOL!!!!!! really...yeah..ha!!!! LMAO!!!! he has no idea WHO I am... ahhahahahhahahahhh

[EveKauai]

True!! Just keep your mouth shut and that's all the disguise you need....

!!!

;)

[iluvmusickp]

ummmm.. keep my mouth shut.. ok then!!!!

off to marie's thread..

bye bye girl!!!! sorry to say the wrong thang here...

HA!

still luv Mr S... even though you've convinced me he panders... it's all your fault EVE!!!! ahahahahahahhahah

[EveKauai]

Oh sureee....blame me for simply pointing out a few facts from which YOU extropolate he pandars - !!!

;)

All i said was....nah, fuggedaboudit!!! You're entitled to your opinion; it's a Free Country!

[iluvmusickp]

yeah, he probably panders.. or maybe, just maybe he is in fact romantic.. or fuzzy bunnies... white puffy clouds.. I don't know Jeff.. so I can't tell.. but he's like rock music, and a big big joker... so I doubt very much he's mr... lov me.. i'm romantic... yeah, the dude probably pander... albeit I'd bet he's good in bed..

HA!!

[EveKauai]

GOOD GRIEF GIRL you are SUCH a STIRRER.....!!!

;)

OK so i am going to exercise ENORMOUS SELF-DISCIPLINE here (get that? the self-discipline thang?!) & bite my tongue SO hard it bleeds..and say NOTHING of my opinion on THAT...based on my extensive experience of...nope, i just WON'T be baited so off you just go hopping back to Marie Digby's site & leave Mr. S. (with or without puffy clouds) well alone while i go off to a full-moon party (replete with dancing naked around a fire on the beach?!)

;)

[iluvmusickp]

OMG..just came off the 'voice on the radio' video..gosh darn... can I kid a bit...

rotflmao....nah,, dancing barefoot in bluejeans baby..that's the hook here!!! hahahahahhaha!!! I'm just stirring the pot..

actually docha just want to know a bit?? yeah, thought so.. me too...HA

[iluvmusickp]

"dancing naked around a fire..".. there's a hook for ya... you can pull from your personal experience there...

LOL!!!

[iluvmusickp]

Are you referring to my Boston accent.. yeah, all I have to do is pronounce my R's and I'll sound like a New Yorker!!!

although is really tough to disguise a Bostonian accent.. everyone notices!

[EveKauai]

Did i refer to your accent? - funny thing, because tho' i don't believe i did, i WAS thinking about what your voice might sound like only last night (whilst dancing naked around that beach bonfire....just kiddin'!!), and i 'heard' your funky Bostonian accent (which is actually one i'm unfamiliar with)...so there y'go, girl - you're getting psychic on me!!!

;)

[iluvmusickp]

In fact EVE, I literally fell in luv with this song, from that line..

heck, I'm a SUCKER, for a good line.. wow, my hair got...

ooooooooooh, and he luvs it!!!!

yeah!!!!!!!!!

[iluvmusickp]

luv this song! The cover by the artist is so flat of emotion compared to this one.. jeez..

luv how he sings about the girls hair in the beginning...

fab!!!

[EveKauai]

O U Sucker!! So - you can be 'had' for a simple compliment about your hair, eh?

;)

...no i know what you mean; it's touching because it sounds personal, like a guy NOTICING your hair's different (which - let's face it - most guys DON'T!!). Heck, nice to know guys notice ANYTHING about us besides our bra size and whether or not we're signalling 'green/go' or 'red/stop'...

!!?

(- just being cynical some days that divorcee thang comes creepin' up on me...)

;)

[iluvmusickp]

yes, it's a sexy sexy song.. the way he does that.. definitely...you literally envision youself as the object he's speaking to... just going there.. sorry....

hahahahahhahahhaha!!!!

[EveKauai]

SUPER SUCKERRRRRRR!!!!

;)

[iluvmusickp]

I DO have really nice hair... being a tad conceded here... ooops.. let that one out of the bag... it's pretty long....down to my waist

[EveKauai]

O u conceited one so u reckon that'd reel him in, eh?

;)

(FYI mine is, too...!)

[iluvmusickp]

nope..just trying to show WHY I kinda relate to that lyric...

see, men like long hair, and I've gotten many a compliment on it... defending myself that's all!

[EveKauai]

...and identifying JS as being a man like that, too - based on these lyrics?

...a common (and no doubt, deliberate!) confusion betwixt the man and his music....

;)

(Tho' when you go to his show, you could try twirling yours around in front of him a bit and see if he reacts...)

;)
