The Oldies Musical Thread

[peteblue]

Damn, tough one. Where to begin?

Van Morrison, Stones, Robert Johnson, Harry Chapin, Bob Segar, Buddy Miles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac (with peter green), Cream, Slim Harpo, Bowie, Johnny Cash.....


I could go on all night ffs.

Great thread Pete. X

This is what I mean...... I never really liked Johnny Cash, until right at the end when he released 'Hurt'.....then I understood......


I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Such a powerful song............

Cash one of the greatest song writers ever. So many missed his genius due to having him pigeon-holed as a country singer.

A true great.

On a more serious note, as creaking bones take over, I go to gigs now which I might not have bothered with 15 years ago, mainly because you just don't know how much longer these folks are going to be around

Spot on. I saw Ian Hunter last month in Manchester. He's 75 now and was outstanding.

My old man was a big Cash fan.
It wasn't till both of them were dead that I understood why.

Along with my blue blood, my musical education was given by my dad. He still travels the world watching gigs.


I owe him so much...
