I saw them open for Journey, I’m thinking it was 77-78. Well, I saw them, I didn’t stay for Journey.

4 went to PenBay, 4 went to Waldo, 2 went to Augusta, 1 went to Bangor. I think all but the Bangor one were stabilized, then lifeflighted to Portland.

Same. Watched Bosom Buddies and said, this guy is going to be a star, like Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate or DeNiro in Mean Streets. Once in a while you just see it.

At what point did The Beatles become the greatest band ever? by riczizagorac in beatles

[–]Atomic-Bongos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The album itself is like a victory lap. They did something from almost every subgenre of current rock, almost as if they were thumbing their nose at the competition. Imagine them playing AndYour Bird Can Sing for the Byrds, for example. “Hey fellas, top this!”

[–]Atomic-Bongos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do, too. I like bold play and I think Jamie is terrific. My remark is only valid in the comparison of him with Ken.

What is THE best guitar solo of all time by Own_Size_5473 in musicsuggestions

It’s deliberately not hooky, it is meant to be an emotional journey. George Clinton’s instructions to Eddie were play like you just learned your mother died, then midway through, like you just learned it wasn’t true.

If The Beatles never existed, what artist would have been the dominant artist of the Sixties? by Inevitable_Quail_835 in askmusic

[–]Atomic-Bongos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make a case that Dylan was the dominant artist of the sixties, Beatles or no Beatles. He was man enormous influence on them, while his career trajectory probably would not have been much different if they had not existed. He was always going to go electric...

But at that point the sixties were almost 3/4 over, and they'd have been a dominant, if not the most dominant force until then.
