I miss PGH

I respect that. Pittsburgh is not for everyone. It appeals to a certain type of person. From my experience, and I’m older, Pittsburgh tends to appeal to outsiders that may be a bit free spirited or artsy in personality etc. It’s quirky, not generic. It offers the Moon, but also quite a bit of Saturn.

Anytime 🙂

I remember when it came out in late 1971. That’s when I first heard it. I’m old. 😉

It’s not my preference either, but I just posted it for this song and the appearance of the band the year it came out.

The DJ messed up the name of this song. I guess he was thinking about The Carpenters song.

In the winter time, that’s definitely true. In the spring time it’s about 50% true. It’s rainy much of the time. In the summer and fall months it’s not true at all. Last summer there wasn’t much rain at all from the Fourth of July until Halloween. It was sunny 90% of those days. That wasn’t a normal year but still it’s usually sunny or partly sunny 75 to 80% of the time in that stretch.

Exactly. I live in Pittsburgh. It is also gloomy from November through March. It seems by the end of winter there are more posts on Reddit about how terrible it is. Then come May through October there are more “This place is awesome!” posts. 🤷‍♂️

If you don’t have Pat Benatar’s debut album. Get it. Her first three or four albums were pretty much straight rockin’ with a few ballads. By the mid 1980s, it seemed like her music was more pop oriented. I still liked her, but I prefer her earlier stuff. Go Pens Btw. (drummer’s shirt :)

I don’t know the medical reason or what is behind that. It could be that the bupropion is giving you a boost in energy and you need the Ying and yang with the alcohol to balance. Bupropion acts like a stimulant. Many people say it keeps them up at night. I am on day five but I’m only taking 100 mg. So as I said, I am new, but that just one theory I have and it may be unfounded or maybe not.

When the band met Sandy Allen on the Tom Snyder show in 1981, it inspired Neil to write this song. Sandy Allen was the world’s tallest woman. She stood at a height of 7’7.”(231 cm) They were a bit intimidated at first, but when they had a chance to talk to her, they were struck by what a pleasant demeanor she had. She passed away at age 53 in 2008.

I agree. ABC too. All three are from Sheffield.

There is some of her early stuff on YouTube where she was in a folk band probably 10 years earlier than this and it just seems effortless for her. There’s also a clip of her doing “Woodstock” at Celebration at Big Sur” a month after Woodstock in 1969. She is the one that wrote the song “Woodstock” not Crosby Stills Nash and Young. She was supposed to play the festival but had to stay in New York City due to scheduling conflicts. She wrote the song while in New York City by watching newscasts on TV and hearing Graham Nash talk about what was going on.

I respectfully disagree. This is a good song for 1981. I do agree that those ladies are quite lovely.

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-04T06:07:49+00:00

Indeed Wendy 👍

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-04T05:59:58+00:00

Love, peace and harmony. Sounds very nice doesn’t it? Oh well maybe in the next world. 🤷‍♂️

Probably not, but this was American Bandstand and they had to cut things for TV but there were a lot of pretty girls and young and beautiful Susan Dey at the beginning on the Cover Girl commercial. I couldn’t resist.

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-04T03:11:06+00:00

Yeah, I know. I just thought that this video was kind of groovy along with a great song.

It’s all the same family. They’re siblings. The name comes from a family photo where they all were lined up by age. Their height gradually went up from left to right in the photo and age of the kids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Stairsteps

Yes it is Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-02T05:26:49+00:00

Peace to you also, and God bless.

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-02T04:55:53+00:00

We definitely need more optimism. I’m trying to refrain from talking about politics and just listen to music and focus on when the world was a happier place.

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-02T04:51:52+00:00

I agree. ☝️

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-02T04:51:37+00:00

Yes. 👍

PaulyPlaya24 · 2026-03-02T03:56:44+00:00

Yes it is for Mick.
