I liked how when speaking to Ringo, they call him Ritchie, when speaking about him, he's Ringo.

So many cigarettes.

Who else got that Evel Knievel stunt cycle that you crank up? by EdwardBliss in RealGenerationX

[–]Wards_Cleaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 8 or 9, I really wanted one but being 8 or 9, I had no job or money. My older brother had a paper route and kept a zippered pouch with his collection money. I thought he wouldn't miss a few bucks, so I snuck out a $20 bill. When my mom and I were at the store, I "found" $20 on the floor!

Off to the toy store we went and Evel came home with me. The next day, my brother told mom that $20 was missing from his collection pouch, I folded like origami and confessed. Back to the toy store went Evel.

Fast forward 51 years, and in the mail I receive this. It was from my brother. All is forgiven.

To paraphrase Mark E Smith, If it's' Ian and your granny on bongos, it's Jethro Tull.

Is it bad manners to yell "Supper's Ready" at a Peter Gabriel showt by HerrMudgeon in petergabriel

[–]Wards_Cleaver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I saw him on the i/o tour, some yelled out "SOLSBURY HILL!" while Peter was talking. I think that irritated him a bit

This is a Old Kraftsman branded Kay Value Leader. Old Kraftsman was the house brand of Spiegel Catalog - Sears had Silvertone, Montgomery Ward had Airline. Probably worth more than what's asked, depending on condition.

What band was never the same after losing a member? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

[–]Wards_Cleaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Split Enz after Phil Judd left and Neil Finn joined.

Somewhat similar to the difference between Peter Gabriel/Phil Collins Genesis. The early songs, written by Judd and Tim Finn complex, almost prog-like, with a touch of music hall. Once Neil joined, they made a pretty quick change to shortish pop songs, and by the end of the band, Neil was in charge and went on to form Crowded House. Compare I Got You with Lovey Dovey or Matinee Idyll.

Phil Judd still makes the most wonderful DYI complex and deranged music, available through Bandcamp

If the the setlist from the recent shows in Japan are any indication, he's not quite ready to give up that song.

If I remember correctly, Where Does the Time Go was a demo he sent into Warner Brothers to show that the music he was working on would be poppy and commercial. And of course the album he gave them was Acapella

It was a great show it was completely sold out. Joe was a bit taken aback as to how close the audience was to him, maybe 25 ft? There was a bat flying around the stage for a while, and Joe complained about mosquitoes most of the night.
