Sene - A few years ago I was in Montreal on business in either late winter or early Spring and it was freezing cold. I didn't know what I was going to do at night because it was so cold. But I noticed an ad for the Zombies. I could not believe it could be that same group with the original...

What is your definition of a one -hit wonder? I Can See Clearly Now is a great song, but he also had top 20 hits with "Hold Me Tight" and Bob Marley's "Stir It Up". How about the Singing Nun with "Dominique"? An international #1 song, and I don't think she made another record. Or my favorite...

ABC posted an online estimate for US residents of how many people will get the vaccine before you by state. Don't put much credence in it, but just for laughs the survey said that 82% of the people in NY state will get the vaccine before me. I am surprised that children and young adults will...

The original 1970 Let It Be movie of the Beatles was a depressing film about the break up of a rock band. Peter Jackson has poured through 55 hours of footage left out of the original movie to paint a very different picture of that time period. He actually shows the band in their happiest...

It was early Spring, so one coat was O.K. but no need to layer. No she was just out of it. Most of the conversation I had with her was bizarre. At one point she said that she hated the French in Montreal. This struck me as odd since she was most definitely a Quebecoise . Not only did she have...

NCITW and Sene - I have another concert story to relate to you. I saw Phil Collins about 30 years ago in Saratoga NY. There is a large hotel and Banquet Hall on the grounds of the arts center and I noticed a wedding reception going on as I entered the concert area on a warm summer's evening...

Just for you gaby - Eugenie is asking "Who wants to play?" https://nypost.com/2020/11/02/eugenie-bouchard-celebrates-halloween-in-sexy-mortal-kombat-costume/

For the past 75 years, Gallup has tracked incumbent presidential approval rating going into reelection. Every president over 50% won reelection. Those under 40% lost. Those in the 40% - 50% a mixed bag. Small sample size, but still interesting. Trump (Oct. 27, 2020): 46% Obama (2012): 50%, won...

The good thing about the old arena was that there wasn't a bad seat in the place. There were 3,000 seats but the seats surrounded the stage and the stage spun around (slowly) 360 degrees. So at times the band was right in front of you and at other times, you were behind the band. So you were...

LOL. You reminded me of one bad outcall encounter I had in Montreal. When the girl arrived, I offered her a glass of wine and she replied "No thanks, I brought my own." She then pulled out a pint bottle of whisky which she put next to the nightstand and took frequent sips out of as the hour...

SavoySuit - Oh yes "The Man Who Would Be King" was a great movie. Also love his Oscar winning role in "The Untouchables" - The Chicago Way

If it's Halloween season, you know you are going to hear "Season of the Witch" by Donovan. Also on the soundtrack to many horror flicks. And many cover versions. I had always thought that Jimmy Page played lead on this, but a quick check on wiki said no. However it is claimed that Jimmy Page...

There is another type of cancellation that no one has brought up (or admitted to), that I would like to discuss. I know that some guys will pre-book a girl a few days ahead of time as a back-up plan. Then on the appointed day, if someone higher on their list of favorites turns up on the...

My memory of the Moody Blues: I saw the Moody Blues years ago at the old Oakdale Theater in Wallingford Ct. The Oakdale was a run down, open air venue with a revolving stage that had seen better days. Justin Hayward was in the middle of a song when he suddenly stopped singing and called out to...

Yes I agree with EB's list. I forgot about Undun. It's a little different from their usual rock sound and sounds kind of jazzy. Randy Bachman penned it.

Don't forget "American Woman". Was it about how Canadian women are so much better than American? Burton Cummings - "What was on my mind was that girls in the States seemed to get older quicker than our girls and that made them, well, dangerous. When I said 'American woman, stay away from...

Paul McCartney's comments: “‘God Only Knows’ is one of the few songs that reduces me to tears every time I hear it,” he said. “It’s really just a love song, but it’s brilliantly done. It shows the genius of Brian.” “We’d put a song out then Brian would hear it then do one, which is nice,” he...

What if the girl arrives at your door and looks like her pictures, but in the first 10 minutes of chit- chat she completely turns you off? I had an experience once where I had pre-booked a girl for the day of my arrival in Montreal. When I reached my hotel room, my cell rang with the booker...

Thanks for posting this Patron. I would have missed this since I stopped following SNL years ago. I googled this after I watched your clip and I had to laugh at some of the reactions. "As a white woman, I was deeply offended by ..." and "As a person whose cousin has asthma, I was deeply offended...

With that line of thinking, you could say the same thing about Elvis Presley. LOL. You must be the guy whose vote is keeping them out of the RNR HOF. I agree with sen and his analysis is excellent. As great as the Hair musical is, the music was made popular by the "cover versions" from singers...
