Bar Room Drinking

I've been listening to John Lee Hooker's 1978 live album "The Cream". Seriously some good stuff. I had forgotten I had this on here. Very laid back Blues.

-o-

a 1966 crowd: "BOOOOO!!!" "Judas!!"
(intro chords to "One Too Many Mornings" begins)
crowd: "Go home!" "Traitor!"
(The Band begins to play)
Zimmy: "Down the street the dogs are barkin'
And the day is a-gettin' dark.
As the night comes in a-fallin',
The dogs 'll lose their bark."

Without doubt, the best live album I have ever heard or owned, is Bob Dylan Live 1966. 1st half of the show is Dylan with just acoustic guitar & harmonica met with loud applause, and the 2nd half is Dylan on electric guitar backed by The Band, greeted with not-as thunderous applause but with unfortunately some heckling as well, with of course no encore. Also Levon Helm was not the drummer on that tour, that would be Mickey Jones, who if you ever watched "Home Improvement" when the construction workers came on "Tool Time", and when the last worker was introduced as "Pete", a long-haired and bearded enlarged Jones would say "...That would be me!" How cool would that to be say you were on that tour! As you recall, he also played "plastic red gasoline drums" on a segment.

Now this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOCBRkXlg-c until a few hours ago, was just some distant 1980s song I remember hearing on the radio & during White Sox games on TV right before they went to commercial, I did not know this was a George Harrison song or a #1 1988 song. I hadn't heard this song in 20 years, and back then I sure as hell didn't know what the Beatles were. With the exception of some early 80s Talking Heads & Van Halen, I really don't listen or like 80s music at all. But man, catchy riffs and ridiculously repetitive but memorable, and even tho with the video's 1950s wannabe look of hanging out with Potsie at the soda shop with greased up hair on the dudes and the song being a 1962 cover, the mentioning of money reminds us what the 1980s were totally about: money.

Now this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFVJLoUbQAw I hadn't thought about since it last aired on Fox! Oh my god, Jim Carrey was dangerously funny on In Living Color. I remember watching this on tape like 10 times in a row while laughing my ass off every single time, and also reminded me that I used to do a Vera deMilo steroid infested woman impression, even before the vocal chords had cracked yet. I never felt Carrey ever reached his potential in movies (I've seen about 5 or 6 of them) like he did on this show.

And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2llL9Z-82Qo was cla$$ic back in the day. Love the look Smigel had in the drive-thru window. And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMpm0-uOBws thrown in for good measure.
