The above comment violates the site’s rules.

It is important to note here that when confronted with unacceptable behavior, the first move is to try and censor people's posts. Typical. Seen it from him many, many times. And it is an attempt to distract from his own repetitively insulting behavi…
Who has heard of The Highwoman? A play on "The Highwayman", who need no explanation. They are comprised of Brandy Carlisle, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires. And backed by Jason Isbell, Amanda's husband, and a an awesome musician in his…
@Mona. Nice! Had not heard of them before. Sexy.
@Hank I have a set of the Sony NC headphones too. For flying and yard work. They are the 900's though. Then I bought a pair of Bose 700, cuz everyone said they were the best. Honestly, I can't tell t…
@catch22 Thanks, I will check that out for sure!
Edit: The Tina Turner concert is excellent! Her energy and presence, plus the choreography and music are phenomenal. Thanks again!
@crash
Ignore injustice, masked gov't Gestapo violence, the ethically rudderless Fuhrer, etc.
These are the very reasons why I think the US's time as a global leader is limited. We have destroyed any credibility we had with the rest of the world …
@MikeW @sma3. Excellent posts from people who don't just "get it", but live it!
The fellow that you are responding to is so lost in his own BS, he will never internalize anything that you say/post.
We all know that they are people that can be des…
My current "home theater" set up is a Denon S970H with Polk speakers. 4x 5.25 mids, 2x 6.5 mids, 5x tweeters and a sub. All carefully placed. I run a W11 PC to connect to the internet and stream concerts from Youtube, or my hard drives. All into a 6…
LOL - I spent a few drives trying to find a rattle in my car. It turns out that when the wife exits, the buckle gets turned the wrong way every time! interior car noises are sometimes very hard to locate. There is probably a meme somewhere of a frus…

Ok, so this is what I consider both amazing and weird. I was wondering if the Scott brand of HiFi equipment was a Musicraft "house brand" (It was not). So I posted an internet search of that question. In about 3 seconds I got an AI response which in…
@Hank I too, have done a few car radio upgrades. I'd say that my generation was the one that kicked the whole thing off. We would put early Pioneer Supertuners and Jensen co-axials and Craig amps in our 1960's beaters, this was in the early 1970's. …
Two thoughts:
1. It has been suggested that trump is very worried about his mortality, as such doesn't care about outcomes (he will be dead). And maybe thinks that this is a form of legacy. It is. Just not a good one.
2. MAGA freaks out over the …
@crash Yes, that is why I chose to share several of them. Have you seen these before?
The inclusion of original artists, young performers, and many cultures (and their instruments) in the songs is just amazing.
Great choice, BTW. Both of them. I…
@Crash. I only just realized how much Chris Isaak channelled Roy Orbison's rock-a-billy style.
And I do love an Irish tune with lots of fiddle work. Thanks.
Woody Guthrie Old Man Trump
Woody Guthrie's "Old Man Trump" is a powerful critique of Fred Trump's racist housing practices and discriminatory policies.
Hopeful video
because these do not usually go well for me.
@Mark I'd forgotten about this. Th…
I like a wide variety of music — rock, jazz, pop, blues, folk, reggae —
and often listen to the various Daily Mixes that Spotify makes for me.
Songs from the following artists/albums were listened to recently.
Cannonball Adderley, Something Else

@DrVenture 'Wicked Game'............back in the day when the production folks offered some very good music videos on MTV, the original video fully provides for the essence of the lyric.
@Mark Thank you for the Woody Guthrie link. I need to pass t…
We tend to mostly listen to jazz (various types) and classical. We have over 2000 hours of music on old Mac G5s, and can choose from a very wide music list of various sub-types. It's a nice setup because the older versions of itunes can be configure…
MUSIC, the universal language................
@hank I'm 50/50 for instrumentation 'the character' of the mix; as well as the lyric. Some songs weight more in one direction. Some songs for me a 'road song' for driving upon the highway, volume set …
I am a child still, old school rock-n-roll nearly always with a good dash of the blues. From the hippie and Woodstock days up to the 80's classic rock. Springsteen, Seger, Stones, Eagles, BB King, Dylan, Tina, oh man way, way too many to mention.
Me…
A general comment.
I listen 90% for the sound sensation (changes in pitch and rhythm, instrumentation, harmonics, etc.) Might explain why I offered up the Orbison song. I can sometimes go years enjoying a song without even thinking of what the s…
Probably a little soon to tell, but the FED has been wary of economic weakness for a while. The numbers have been getting shakier for jobs. Hints of debt problems too. Now liquidity.
Something else to keep an eye on. I was hoping that the FED woul…
@msf I hear you. But I tend to keep thinking about young people starting out and forming a family while facing job disruptions and high housing costs. Also, from what I can see the direction of the country safety net is headed, they will need to hav…

Blue Velvet was a bizarre film. Totally expected from David Lynch, known for Twin Peaks.
Roy Orbison, of course, being foundational for many later artists. Thanks for sharing.
@a2z @Observant1
And everyone else, of course

Hi @Derf
I was being hyperbolic, not literal when I said "rot in the fields".
What I was referring to is trump putting one their largest markets in jeopardy - China. Whatever the Chinese "promise", the last time this happened their actual purchase…
