What a beautiful language, a beautiful voice and a beautiful song. I have no idea what the lyrics of this song mean, but I love it. It has passion. I got this album 35 years ago and still have it. I met an Italian teacher at a party recently, and, when he told me that Lucio Battisti was on his ...

No one should argue about talent and music this good! Desmond Dekker was absolutely the right singer for this song. I loved it when it came out in the summer of 1971, when I was 21, and I love it now. Does it rock? You bet it does. How can you sit still in the face of so much power? Is it rac...

If "Oh Happy Day" doesn't lift you up and brighten your day, you're too far gone for help. I remember when this song came out, and it rocked the house then, just like it does now. What a terrific song, great vocals and a wonderful back-up choir. AMEN!

My wife and I are looking for domestic help and have lots of doggie treats. Please contact me about Jesse's employment possibilities. After seeing everything Jesse can do, we're having to re-think our relationship with our Boykin Spaniel, Loretta. She's just not up to the job and "will NOT work...

While her video is funny, Nancy Pelosi should work a little harder to be more than just funny-looking. Too close to the teleprompter? And her expressionless face, lame attempt to avoid even minimalist facial expressions and her pretend-to-be sultry voice? She should practice, practice, practice...

This song came out in 1968/69 when I was away in high school, at a boarding school. One of my best friends had a great stereo (remember, we're talking 1968) with Kenwood speakers, and we used to rip this song after class, before going to lunch in the dining room. What a killer saxophone. It wa...

This is so silly. God help the guy that marries this little girl. She's already living in a fantasy world. If her husband is a "normal" guy and disappoints her, I guess she can always go back to her daddy and his Platinum Card.

@ghostchild88 Radio is as frustrating to me as music these days. While there is some really good music out there today (my 32 year-old son introduced me to Elvis Costello, Arcade Fire and The Black Keys), a lot of it is just loud noise, no vocals, just yelling. Without satellite radio, you've got...

@underwwraps2 That's sad. Was it an accident or drugs? Really good musicians seem to live pretty close to the edge. The bass player was so young, talented, full of life and looked like he was enjoying himself and the music. I looked for him in other Jethro Tull YouTube posts, but didn't see ...

This is one of the best songs, ever. David Gilmore makes it look so easy. Amazing.

I realize the days of Pink Floyd are behind us, but I ran out of characters and couldn't refer to them in the past tense. I'm sorry for that, and I'm sorry they are past tense.

Billy Idol had a reputation for being a bad boy, but his music was so good, it didn't matter This is one of my all-time favorite songs. In 1984, I was 34. I had sons who were then 5 and 3 years old. Where did all the time go? It doesn't really matter, because this song and this music are time...

This is a really good, live version of this awesome song. I can listen to this and David Bowie all day long. It must be great to be as talented as he is, as a solo act, and to pack concert halls like this, all over the world. Anytime, anyplace. His music is better than almost anyone else's best...

My 32 year-old son told me the other day that he thinks David Bowie is underrated. I'm 61, and I couldn't agree more. David Bowie was a music pioneer, and, to me, he's right up there with the Beetles and the Rolling Stones. His music is just as good today as it ever was. He is one super-cool dud...

I really like this song, but I wish it had a little more energy and drive. (I'm kidding.) If it had any more energy or drive, I'd run off the road, if I heard it on my car radio! I can't think of a more spring-loaded, ready to blast-off song, ever.

Where are the cops? Not that they could ever catch this guy. That would be never. This guy's got nerves of steel; no, nerves of titanium. He has to have had a LOT of experience riding motorcycles at speed, REAL SPEED. He's also got to have super-fast reflexes and must be looking ahead, maybe even...

Amy Winehouse was a tragic figure. To me, she was a really beautiful, sexy, exotic woman. She was hot. Not a girl I could have ever brought home to meet my mother, though (I'm 61, and my mother has been dead for years.) . It's sad, but she had demons she just couldn't handle, even with help. So ...

Ron Paul may not become the Republican nominee for POTUS, but I don't believe he's just another blue suit. He's a scholar on the Constitution, which is clearly being "diluted" by Big Government. Obama may be President, but Congress makes the laws. I served in the military, and I am proud to be ...

Natalie Merchant: What a beautiful, really feminine woman and what a beautiful voice! She is really steaming hot!

spacepatrolman is so right. The Moody Blues (remember "Go Now"?), BS&T, Johnny Winter and 10 Years After ("I'd Love to Change the World" with Alvin Lee) were so great. Living in the past is fun, and music like this takes me there. Thanks.

I just read the Washington Post article about the Woodberry-EHS game, which referred me to this YouTube post. I went to Woodberry, started on the varsity football team in 1968 and graduated in 1969. We always had pretty good QBs at Woodberry, and many thought Roly Purrington, '69', was one of ...

Lindsey Buckingham never ceases to amaze me. I was in the 10th grade in 1968, when the Buckinghams burst onto the scene, and I didn't even realize that he was so much of the power behind Fleetwood Mac, until after that group stopped performing. I just didn't know. What talent, matched with sta...

This is sad. Why would anyone with half a brain want an EBT card? And for what, chips and candy? Having an EBT card and celebrating it keeps you poor and dependent. I always wanted to do better than that. And, when all the entitlement money runs out, there won't be any more EBT cards. Like ...

@GeorgiaBoy1961 No argument from me. I was born in 1950. I bought and still have LPs of King Curtis and Junior Walker, with all of their very best renditions. They were terrific sax players, who could really wail and take that instrument to a whole new level. I'm glad you enjoy these super ...

Elvis said that the only real singer who might "show him up" was Roy Orbison, and it's no wonder. How many singers have there ever been who had such clear voices and such range, not just for a couple of years, but for their entire careers? Very few. Roy was truly unique, and we will probably n...

So smooth, so easy to listen to and really nice harmony. Few people really sing anymore. This is such a down-to-earth song that really moves me and always has. Dave Mason is the real deal.

I just watched the live 1986 Montreaux version of this song, and, while they are both superb, this one seems to be much more animated. It's like 93 octane vs. 89 octane. Either one will get you where you want to go, but I like 93 octane better. But, considering that 2 tears had passed, playing ...

My sister-in-law brought me this album 35(?) years ago, when she came back from a trip to Italy. I still have it. What an amazing song. What an amazing arrangement. What an amazing voice. If this song doesn't move you, you must already be dead. Beautiful, just beautiful.

A really good song from the 80s. The best music of that decade can compete with the best of any other. Great vocals and a great arrangement. Songs like this are easy to listen to, over and over again.

It's hard to imagine a song much better than this. The 60s, 70s, and 80s were all hard to beat. I've lived through them all. Music is good now (some of it, anyway), but music back then was great. Some groups were known for one or two songs, and then they were gone, but their music lives on. ...

1967 was one of the best years of my life, no doubt about it. Hot cars, beautiful girls who still left you with something to imagine.

What a great song, again, and again and again. Like spud1254, I was in high school when this song came out. A truly authentic "one hit wonder." I can listen to this song and be a teenager, all over again. Music is like a calendar for me. I'm 60 now, and I really like 60s music. For me, "They...
