The Three Degrees - Dirty Ol’ Man (1974)

When I listened to the song when it came out, I wouldn’t have thought, I might get that close to the title-line :rofl: :joy: :rofl:

Thanks for posting, I didn’t know the group, but I loved it, and besides, I believe the album was released the year I was born, 1972. :hugs:

Happy Birthday to American singer and songwriter Steve Earle, who is turning 70 today! He is one of the greats in country, yet a songwriter who ever so often is just as much rock as country. His songs have been covered by among others Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris.

Steve Earle’s debut album Guitar Town was released in 1986, and it still holds up pretty well today. Here is the title track. Happy Birthday Steve Earle :wine_glass:

Happy Birthday to Susanna Hoffs, who is turning 66 today. She is one of the singers and guitarists in the American band The Bangles. This all girl group had considerable success in the latter part of the 1980’s, with a few songs charting pretty high, two of them at number 1 in several countries, including both the US and the UK.

The Bangles plays catchy and melodic pop-rock, or rock-pop, with great vocal harmonies, as all four members of the band are good singers. I did see them live in 1986, on the tour after Manic Monday (sung by Susanna) became their first hit. It was great fun, I was right in front of the stage. So here’s to Susanna Hoffs, Happy Birthday :wine_glass:

The Rolling Stones - Time Waits For No One

The best guitarist the Stones ever had is turning 76 today. There’s some damn fine guitar playing on this tune. Happy Birthday to Mick Taylor :wine_glass:

Edit: Since I know there’s some slightly elderly music fans here, I have a question. Has any of you here seen the Stones live with Mick Taylor?

Simon hates this song, but listen to what he says about it at the end. Obviously, I can’t hear what she’s singing, but the emotion and the passion that I could see while she’s singing made me cry just watching it.

Buckle up to System Of A Down - “Toxicity” :metal: :metal: :metal:
The band members of Armenian and several lines in the song depict Armenian way of life and also L.A being the largest Armenian community outside of Armenia. So the song strongly talks about the bands’ Armenian roots.

Toxicity according to band member - Daron Malakian is about attention deficit disorder. But the metaphor can be extended to the lyrics which I think has a very deep meaning.
“Toxicity” is rather apt for some of the people here. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :heart:

I’d like to pay tribute to Garth Hudson of The Band, who passed away two days ago at the age of 87. Now the last surviving member of this iconic band’s classic line-up has left us.

Garth Hudson was the only member of The Band who didn’t sing. Yet he was a vital member of the band, with he’s organ all over the place on many of their classic songs. A good example of that is Chest Fever from The Band’s debut album Music From Big Pink (1968). After the great intro, his organ is prominently featured throughout the rest of the song.

Thank you for the music Garth, may you be remembered. :wine_glass:
