That’s the ticket, Dans! Now, those were the days! They had great voices and great style. They dressed like adults. AND YOU COULD ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS!

Woooeeee, what memories! And those were even the days when the Detroit Lions won NFL championships.

Anybody out there among you youngsters who love what is now laughingly called music remember “Tubular Bells” (1972) by Mike Oldfield? The recording that kept Virgin Records alive for years until they were able to sign Boy George, Phil Collins, Janet Jackson, and The Rolling Stones. Virgin sold their business to Thorn-EMI in 1992 for a cool billion dollars. Now, that was “recording power”!

By the way, Brian, my attorney just told me I need to get the name and phone number of your attorney. Maybe we can settle out of court. We will, however, let you keep your shirt…one of them, anyway…your pick!

Maybe I better take back that thing about Kate Smith. In truth, I only vaguely remember that lady of great voice and ample proportions. Dinah Shore, on the other hand… And I certainly do remember this: “Gooood Morning, Vietnam!!!”

Some of my favs from the last 30 years :

Michael Stanley Band – Heartland

CSNY – 4 Way Street (rereleased in 1992)

Michael Jackson – Thriller

Alabama – Mountain Music

Aztec Two Step – Aztec Two Step (one of the best folk music recordings ever released)

Eric Clapton and friends – 24 Nights

Records not making Joe’s 30 year cut :

Dan Fogelberg And Tim Weisberg – Twin Sons Of A Different Mother

Sergeant Peppers

Foghat Live

These are recordings that I still listen to frequently, and they never get old.

At Wolf Trap and it was an excellent show. This year, they are returning for two shows. I was amazed that my sons 11 and 13 knew most of the words..

joy division certainly should be up there. though i’d say ‘the bends’ for radiohead and ‘nebraska’ by springsteen. also, what about the pixies ‘doolittle’ and neutral milk hotel’s ‘in the aeroplane over the sea?’ the latter is one of the best albums in that past few years. way better than ‘dummy.’
