The Tragically Hip, Ahead by a century


"Ahead by a Century" is a song by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip.
It was released as the lead single from the band's fifth studio album, Trouble at the Henhouse.
The song reached number one on Canada's singles chart, and is the band's most successful single in their native Canada.

Blue Swede's version maybe better known now, but I like this version better. A happy song with a funky electric sitar. RIP B.J. Thomas and thank you for the music.

Steely Dan - Do It Again

I was curious about the posts on Steely Dan in this thread, after hearing a couple of my SD favorites on the radio in the last few days. 2 posters posted on "Do It Again" (in 2014 and 2020), and one poster posted on"Hey Nineteen" (in 2009), a song which is probably more relevant to the subject matter of this board than any other SD song, as it is about the an older man seeing a younger woman and recognizing the cultural gap between the two.

In fact, Do It Again, at #5, and the two songs I heard, "Time Out of Mind" (#8) and "Hey Nineteen" (#10) all come in ranked in the top 15 of songs as ranked by Billboard on this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Band:


When "Gaucho" came out in 1980, I was in high school, and familiar with the music of Steely Dan up to that point. SD had been releasing consistently good albums up to that point, and I considered them very unique in their combination of jazz influences into a rock sound. In my opinion, "Hey Nineteen" and "Time Out of Mind" and the other songs on the Gaucho album had (to me) a cleaner, more polished sound than some of Steely Dan's earlier hits. I think the album was likely well engineered, but these 2 guys were master studio technicians. I found"Hey Nineteen" to be a very stylish song and very representative of SD's music (maybe more than any other song they ever wrote). Awesome electrical guitar by Walter Becker. Although "Hey Nineteen" was the biggest hit on that album, it was somewhat controversial among music critics because of its celebration of an older man dating a much younger woman and pondering their age difference as reflected in their differing musical tastes.

"Time out of Mind", which is probably more well thought of by critics, has just an incredible beat. I think these 2 songs are underrated by Billboard, but you guys tell me what you think- "Hey Nineteen" and"Time Out of Mind":
Hey NIneteen Lyrics:

Way back when in '67
I was the dandy gamma chi
Sweet things from Boston so young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I?
Hey nineteen
(No we can't dance together) We can't dance together
(No we can't talk at all)
Please take me along when you slide on down
Hey nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen soul survivors
She thinks I'm crazy but I'm just growing old
Hey nineteen
(No we got nothing in common) We can't dance together
(No we can't talk at all)
Please take me along when you slide on down
Nice
Sure looks good
Umm-umm-umm
Skate a little lower now
(The cuervo gold)
(The fine colombian)
(Make tonight a wonderful thing)
Say it again
(The cuervo gold)
(The fine colombian)
(Make tonight a wonderful thing)
(The cuervo gold)
(The fine colombian)
(Make tonight a wonderful thing)
(No we can't dance together)
(No we can't talk at all)

Yes to "Hey Nineteen". My favorite album of theirs was Aja. Favorite song - "Deacon Blues". But on the negative: I saw them in concert once and ended up walking out before it was over. The concert had no flow and way too much talking from Walter Becker. He was on his soapbox decrying that " Nazi George H. W. Bush" and would give a 5 minute speech before every song. Thus the concert had no momentum from song to song. My friends an I just wanted to hear the music, not a political rally.

Early Springsteen - Rosalita
Bruce is a pro, he's having a great time even ad-libbing when he has to...doesn't even phase him.
Not sure who was doing security. I take it they're not still in the business....

Look behind you.
Stumbled across this today, damn she has a sweet voice

Imogen Jennifer Heap (/ˈɪmədʒɪn ˈhiːp/; born 9 December 1977) is an English singer-songwriter, record producer, and audio engineer. Her work has been considered pioneering in pop and electropop music.

Heap classically trained in piano, cello, and clarinet starting at a young age. She began writing songs at the age of 13 and, while attending boarding school, taught herself music production. After being discovered by manager Mickey Modern while attending the BRIT School, Heap signed to independent record label Almo Sounds at the age of 18 and later began working with experimental pop band Acacia. She released her debut album, an alternative rock record, I Megaphone, in 1998. In early 2002, Heap and English record producer Guy Sigsworth formed the electronic duo Frou Frou and released their only album to date, Details (2002).

Her second studio album, Speak for Yourself, was released in 2005 on her own label, Megaphonic Records, and was certified gold in the United States and Canada. The album spawned three singles: "Headlock", "Goodnight and Go", which became her highest-charting single as a lead artist on the UK Singles Chart at number 56, and "Hide and Seek", which was certified gold in the United States and gained popularity after being used in the Fox teen drama television series The O.C.. Heap's third studio album, Ellipse (2009), peaked in the top five of the Billboard 200 chart and received mostly positive reviews. This was followed by her fourth studio album, Sparks (2014). In 2017, she reunited with Sigsworth as part of Frou Frou.

Heap developed the Mi.Mu Gloves, a line of musical gloves, as well as a blockchain-based music-sharing program, Mycelia. She also composed the music for the West End/Broadway play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Over the course of her career, she has received two Grammy Awards, one Ivor Novello Award, and one Drama Desk Award. In July 2019, Heap was awarded an honorary doctorate from Berklee College of Music.[1]

What if 21 year old Paul McCartney from the A Hard Day's Night era could be transported to modern day? Would he look and sound something like this?


Interesting music video that was released two days ago and has already gotten 2M hits on youtube. This is similar to the "de-aging" process Scorsese used for DeNiro in the "The Irishman". Paul's "de-aged" face on someone else's body. Who knows where this technology can lead to in the future?
