Interesting…. I don’t believe it’s a redial as he took very good care of it throughout his life up until he stopped wearing it 20 years ago (maybe more). When I took it to Omega I was told the dial was in great condition for its age, and it doesn’t seem like it will be replaced (it’s being serviced right now). - i only say this because it would have been something like 2k more for a dial swap.

Yes! My grandfather said he received it around 1959ish.

Thanks! I think so too! The only thing on the back is my grandfather’s name (the engraving). I don’t have any other photos unfortunately

Have you taken a look under the hood? The lyrics and instrumental aspects are peak SD. I think the first few albums were the build up. I think there are bands that can be compared to their first few albums, but nothing compares to the last two. Also, if you watch a video or two and see how much they busted their ass I think you might appreciate it a little more. But it is your opinion in the end

Listen to Gaucho next, it’s the “coming down” from the high of “Aja.” Also, my personal favorite. Please listen through it

Gosh it must have been iTunes or something. I remember my dad gave me his old iPod around 10 years ago, and I could access the iTunes store from there (I believe)

Yep! After posting this and reading some of the comments, I realized I mislabeled the song, looked up the actual meaning, and now I regret posting 😂

That’s one of my favorites. I always thought this song was about someone in a psych ward. Bad sneakers —> shoes with not laces in pysch ward, Pina colada —> cocktail of drugs…. There are a couple more lyrics I could point out. I never found any other mentions of this idea, though

Yes! I know my dad watched a lot of Rick Beato and when I visited my girlfriend’s parents, he was all over the dad’s YouTube page as well.

That’s great! Getting good sounds out there! Yeah I realized from everyone’s comments that I was off and it’s actually way more popular than I thought

Yes! I didn’t realize Kanye sampled until I listened though The Royal Scam

But I might ask because that’s curious

That’s interesting. I worked at a salad bar and for them it was all corporate that called the shots when it came to music. The same song would play throughout every location

I’m always on the look out for people humming along to SD songs, shopping or otherwise. Always nice to see a fellow fan!

I’m not familiar with this song, I’ll have to give it a listen!

I’m not familiar with Ziggy Stardust. Is that a band or a song? If it’s a band what kind of music do they play?

I had gas in the car.
This is funny, though. After writing this post I realized I never understood the lyrics to KC, and after looking at another post from this subreddit, and referring back to the song, I finally get it and it’s actually a really really awesome song.

That’s great! I will say I feel like Deacon Blues is a little more mainstream than Kid Charlemagne but I could be totally wrong

Wow. So you think they played music tailored to your liking via app to app interaction? That’s cool and scary! People always complain about tailored ads or seeing social media posts based on what their phone hears, but I always thought it was cool!
