During the long drive to New York, we had music on all the way. This one was one of them:

Not really my cup of tea, Spin. It has an okay kind of beat though.
Another one from the NY trip. I told my boys that the music we hear on this trip will remind us of those few days, even years from now...
"Castles in the Air" Don McLean

Such a nice relaxing song that one, Spinny.
I've just been listening to Bon Jovi - who says you can't go home?

Lyrics:
"Who Says You Can't Go Home"
I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place I was looking for something I couldn't replace I was running away from the only thing I've ever known Like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold I been there, done that and I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown, Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone Who says you can't go home
[Chorus] Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There isn't one of these lines that I would erase I lived a million miles of memories on that road With every step I take I know that I'm not alone You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home These are my streets, the only life I've ever known, who says you can't go home
[Chorus]
I been there, done that and I ain't looking that It's been a long long road Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road Take it in, take it with you when you go, who says you can't go home

I think he probably did, he's quite a good song writer. Very handsome too.

JFTR, I had a beer withhim once (in the 80s), and I can confirm he at this time wrote his songs and was worried about every detail. This said, coming back from our small village concert of Friday night and fairly pissed (we might be a small village but we have a lot of great musicians living here, some people here that share other forums with me will know - NOTE: NO advertising, just mentioning... I feel thrown back to some of my musical past and looked up the origin of a part of the music I listened to tonight, feel free to accompany to my late 70s memories,"Do you, you!? Feel like I do?": Enjoy, Rattler P.S.: In the discussion tonight none of the British Musicians were defintely able to confirm whether he was still alive, my research shows the probalities are positive on this issue (he obviously was - looking, and that is truly shocking and strange with only 6 yrs age differnce -, older than myself today in 2010 - in 2008,, but as we say in Spain:"Time does not pardon anybody"): BTW, the latter version is much more powerful, so much for us oldies not being able to repeat!;D R.

I discovered an old video digitised from a film shot way back in 1969 called The celebration at Big Sur. After the woodstock festival Joan Baez, Stephen Stills, David Crossby and Graham Nash got together at this beach side place with a hundred odd fans and performed. A very good film, see if you can lay your hands on it.

Big Sur brings back memories. Off course it would bring back old memories especially for you.

This is a song for dancing (on a beach) in one's lover's arms. It's called WHAT IF and is sung by Jason Durelo I got the beach and potential lovers, but I would not go with this vid for a romantic setup (and the continuity guy deserves a good kick in his rear for not setting the clock right... have a look at yours at 1420 to see what I mean...). Beach, night (of cause , stars (I just last realized last night that Orion comes up in the East on 0500, we are going winter faster than I fancy despite suffering in the intense heat), a nice Whisky, though not necessarily dancing, and on a day of those like today, with an almost full moon, condenses for me (very much depending on the girl´s layout and the stage of relation I would choose one to my and her gusto, but here please, as I do not know you enough, ladies make your choice): A: The adventourous foreigner tourist lady of around 35+ that I had taken out with my boat to the deserted Island of Dragonera, coming back at around 0300 in the morning and resting in this nice sand beach around the corner where the mosquitos are not eating you up: B: The romantic girl of around 30+ that comes to the island every few month to meet people like me, likes boats also, but prefers a nice dinner out, maybe an ice cream afterwards, and then off to the mounted lounges of the tourist sand beach, where at night the music from one of the nearby bars drifts by and produces a movie like sensation when looking at the sky: C: The more intellectual type of woman that considers herself to be sophisticated as she knows all jazz songs, but I am sure it would come as a surprise that Janis did some Gershwin stuff, too, in this case on my* beach (no sand, but just 10 yards from my house, so I *could* change tunes if the sitation required it), the music drifting down from my outside speakers, with a bottle of Merlot, over a nice conversation about life, the universe, and everything: That is yours truly, the romantic shark, for you...;D FWIW, Rattler P.S.: In thend all three come down to "The Rattler Way Of Life"(thanks, Solideo!);D : R.

This turns out have the material for another personality test not yet inclueded in the one we did: Tell me which song (A, B, C) you like, and I know more about you: I thought your thingy would have been 10cc dead on, and I bet Spindrift to go for C.... No, after 2nd thoughts, I have more beach/lover stuff (no pers test, not as clear as my three first options, but maybe more dancable at a beach - barefoot, I suppose?: One is an Iraqui musician I like, Ilham Al Madfei (I realize you ppl will crucify me collectively, but please bear with me: Over there is my first and ever serious music thread that I have been running for years now, and also my first ever radio station that lives from it feeding from forums/blogs/inputs from all over the world - and, Jilly, I am missing input from you! -, posting music here is just a hobby, and I have no problem to backlink featuring your forum, as you can see), for not to crosspost: Ilham Al Madfei andf my opinion on him: www.warandtactics.com/smf/the-lounge-get-a-beer-go-off-topic/the-omnipresent-currently-playing-(music)-thread/And then, groovy, laid back and easy, just made for a nice summer beach night (and not posted in another forum that I knew of), my favorite music for beaches overall, as an example ("I want to be with you, I cannot help myself... You give me wings, you give me reasons to fly", true beach night shark poetry, no?;D): Enjoy! Rattler

Rattler my favorite would be 10cc 'I'm not in love'. Yes, I'm a die hard romantic too! I think Jilly needs to check out her old friends in WaT soon

I bought a 3-CD boxed set called Istanbul Café which I like very much. One CD is traditional Turkish music, one is current Turkish pop and the 3rd one is Turkish techno.

Kerouac, I've never heard of that group. Do you think you can post something of theirs? I'd be interested to see it.

The Iraqui national anthem,"Mawtini", from 1934, again performed here by "The Vocie of Iraq" from a few posts higher, the great Ilham Al-Madfai, in a video with nice and authentic impressions of todays Iraq.
It is so strange that we know so many national anthems and can even sing along (only two, one of them the Spanish, you cannot as they have no lyrics), and then others are completely ignored...?
The English translation of the lyrics ("Mawtini"="Homeland", he only starts out the anthem a few seconds into the vid):
