What made 60's music so great? Posted: 7/22/2009 9:02:58 PM
The music of the 60's was the beginning of a new direction or a break out from the manufactured , safe love songs of the 50's...The English having their own underground movemnents such as the "Mods" and the Rockers, two very different groups living lifestyles opposed to one another gave birth to different types and approaches to Rock and Roll..Example...The Kinks being "Mods" and The Who being"Rockers"...This quickly enriched the music scene in the Caverns of Liverpool. The English also took the better influences of American Rock and Blues incorperating it into their own interpations...Bottom line, there was much more creative music being written and played in England than the States...Hendrix had to go to England to make it... Meanwhile in the States there was also change, it was called "Psychedelic" music... Bands like the Airplane, Blues Magoos,Sir Douglas Quintet,Electric Prunes, The Dead and of course the Haight Asbury thing.....Change was in the air, music reflected change and a new outlook. This was happening in Europe as well as America . The 60's gave birth to highly creative musicans, more so in England. Eric Clapton leaves John Mayall and put's together Cream, Steve Wynwood leaves Spencer Davis and starts Traffic and later Blind Faith, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, the list goes on... The 60's marked a departure from the norm in Rock and Roll and the beginning of a new exciting and creative path. The 70's are a shinning example..... The 60's were a magical time, a time of hope, of change and courage of which the music reflected.....

Why Are Over 45 Men In Love With Motorcycles? Posted: 5/24/2009 7:25:52 PM
I posted a profile of myself on this site, my interests, my passions, my feelings... Openly and honestly.... Not in an attempt to impress but in an attempt to show who I am.... Motorcycles have been a part of my life for many years, yes in part it speaks as to who I am as does the picture of my dog...These are some of the things in my life... But to those who critize....A quote from Bob Dylan says it all....."Don't critize what you can't understand".........

Do you do drugs? Posted: 7/6/2006 11:43:33 AM
I grew up in the late 60's and 70's.....Yeah...I've been there.... However....I'm quit happy with my self and really see no need for altering my personality with drugs. But I dont pass judgement on anyone else.... "What ever gets you through the night...Is alright, it's all right".....

Dating and no perfume Posted: 6/19/2006 10:21:53 PM
I think a very slight trace of perfume is ok...Any more becomes a distraction to me. Actually I think I would prefer no perfume......

What professions are a turn off? Posted: 5/28/2006 11:49:04 AM
I look at the person, their personality, what's important to them... The person inside....What they do for a living means nothing.... I learned a long time ago not to prejudge anyone.... It's what's inside that counts......

Who invented Pyschedelic music Posted: 4/13/2006 8:19:18 PM
I think pyschedelic music started in the early sixties. But what's interesting is it started amost simultaneously in different parts of the U.S....Groups like Blues Magoos, Sir Doulas Qiuntet, Elecrtic Prunes, Airplane, Mobey Grape, the "electric" Dylan and the list goes on... There was a feeling a natural evolution to this type of music ... It was the times we lived in , The Pyschedelic drugs that were in vogue at the time, but most of all it was a collective feeling....A life style. A lot of musicans moved in that direction...Early Pink Floyd ( we all saw what happened to Syd Barrett).....Hendrix went to England and finally hit it big...Early Cream.... The Beatles Sgt Pepper was a big step forward into pyschedelic music...It launched us into the "studio" possibilities...Great sound effects and amazing productions...... Pyschedelic music was another step in the ever evolving Music scene...It influences Rock today.....

Would you judge someone by the music they listen to? Posted: 12/25/2005 3:35:38 AM
Music is a very personal and spirtiual choice. There are forms of music that I don't care for, However I still respect it as music. I respect anyone who is passionate about their music.... I don't think you can judge someone by their musical tastes...Nor should you... I love Classic Rock, Progressive Rock, Cool Jazz and Bebop Jazz....Does that really tell you anything about me? Hey!!! Look at my picture.....This guy like's AC/DC.....Go figure???....

Father Christmas......Greg Lake Posted: 12/23/2005 12:48:55 PM
They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth I remember one Christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a Silent Night And they told me a fairy story 'Till I believed in the Israelite And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes 'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave New Year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas you get you deserve

what so wrong with me... Posted: 12/14/2005 8:38:58 PM
Unfortunalty this is the internet....Not real life...People can be what ever they want to be.... It's like advertising.....What appears to look the best gets the most attention.... I just try to be honest and be myself....Anything else will catch up with you later... Theres nothing wrong with you....Just keep trying and stay away from the popularity queens...

A Lucky Man Posted: 12/14/2005 6:54:07 PM
If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely You are a lucky man If you've found the reason to live on and not to die You are a lucky man Preachers and poets and scholars don't know it Temples and statues and steeples won't show it If you've got the secret just try not to blow it Stay a lucky man! A lucky man! If you've found the meaning of the truth in this old world You are a lucky man If knowledge hangs around your neck like pearls instead of chains You are a lucky man Takers and fakers and talkers won't tell you Teachers and preachers will just buy and sell you When no one can tempt you with heaven or hell You'll be a lucky man Takers and fakers and talkers won't tell you Teachers and preachers will just buy and sell you When no one can tempt you with heaven or hell You'll be a lucky man You'll be better by far to be just what you are You can be what you want if you are what you are And that's a lucky man! Oh yeah, a lucky man And that's a lucky, a lucky, a lucky man A lucky, a lucky, a lucky man

The one thing that is an instant turn-off, ends the conversation........ Posted: 12/14/2005 6:31:35 PM
There are a few things I've learned (the hard way) to look for...... Such as....."well what do you want to talk about?".... Or someone adds you on their IM list....And it always says "busy" when you happen to glance their way...What's up with that????... But If it just doesnt feel relaxed or I keep getting "forwarded" jokes and stories in my email.......I'm out of there...... It's hard enough to meet someone in real life...but online....It's even stranger.... But I keep trying...............

Class action against Yahoo Personals and Match.com for fraud Posted: 11/21/2005 10:27:55 AM
I am not suprised......I joined Match.com for three months.... The only people I meet were trying to extort money.... I just had a feeling that something was wrong... In my experience, some of the profiles I responded to were fake..... It's a shame and a scam..........
