In 1972 this song was the anthem for school kids and people who just wanted to rock! Before the KISS costumes and makeup...here was Alice Cooper...some nice guitar sections

After some of the hippie songs of the 60's..... the 70's were ushered in by some Hard Rock...and Sabbath was the driving force early in the 70's..it certainly caught the attention of a young kid in rural Illinois when he heard them...young Gos was captivated...and his inner torch was ignited
When you talk about the 70's and rock...you have to include "Led Zep"...
Killing me....but you are right. They did grab me by the balls......and no turning back.
Some people call this country music...country rock...but me...I just call this awesome...the guitar work is just incredible...and the song structure...the way it builds up....
One of my favorite concerts from "back in the day"....Stones...George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers and JOURNEY..Steve could belt out the sounds...even in an open air stadium...what a voice
I watched most of a concert on AXS tv today with Van The Man and a Jazz ensemble with this cat....Joey DeFrancesco on a Hammond Organ...man this guy is awesome...if you like jazz...check him out...it's kind of weird seeing Van do Jazz...but a man has gotta eat....he's got a nice lineup....venue was in Marpow's neighborhood...San Francisco Jazz Center..
Well, I survived my son's wedding and reception last night. Some observations and or stories....
The preacher, while going through the vows, misidentified both my son and his bride. I mean, complete fuck up....really??
It was absolutely freezing cold, with brisk north winds blowing around 30 mph along with snow/sleet/showers...during outdoor pics.
We went through $4200 worth of alcohol from 6pm-11pm. Yes, GOS had to pay for that.
Around 10pm, multiple bottles, etc...dropped and shattered on the dance floor. Drunk idiots......
GOS, being the 56 year old guy seemed to be a favorite with the girls. Pre-teen girls that is.....I "danced" more during that time than in my whole life I'm sure. And...today I am sore.
The music they play sucks. Club type stuff, played way too loud. GOS demanded they not do any stupid macarena shit or line dancing or any of that crap that I despise. Luckily, my son felt the same and agreed.
All in all, a wonderful day, albeit, very long day......fun was had by all.

I know there is not much love on here for Motown music...or soul music in general...but I had to have some of that music this morning...Diana Ross is 74 now and she's still active....she scored a number one hit on Billboards Top Dance Chart with this song and she's going to perform a song from her upcoming Christmas album at this Macy's Annual Thanksgiving Parade November 22nd...
This hit number 1 in 2017 on the Top Dance Chart...these mixes have that Disco vibe..WHICH I LIKE...
As do I ..having had a Disco DJ rig from 1976 to 1979
Boy did I enjoy the 70's
So much carefree fun.
Very happy memories.
Here is the Christmas album...a compilation of some previously released material and other artist contributions
Clint, you remind me of my wonderful 47 y.o. husband. Last month, we saw/heard Joan Baez on her final tour. Joe commented that she got a standing ovation from everyone who COULD stand up!
He says he would have died from exhaustion if he knew me at 47. He has trouble keeping up now. He's already a codger.
My Mom was a Codgerette! (We're all codgers on this bus!)
