Vic Paric replied to Stan Schwieger's discussion Bands that I should love. But I don't."With the exception of Pearl Jam's first two albums, I could have done without the entire 90's grunge movement (Nirvana, Soundarden, and their ilk). While I appreciate the fact that they blew hair metal off the map and admire their lack of…"
Vic Paric replied to Ian McEwen's discussion Bands that Jumped the Shark"I'm still confused as to whether the shark jump is the last great album or when the sucking started, so I'll include both:
Jackson Browne
Last great album: "Running on Empty", Sucking started: "Hold Out"
Rod…"
Vic Paric replied to Harry's discussion Worst Band Ever (that became reasonably huge)"Always hated Journey. Foreigner and Toto too. (Wizard of Oz reference not intentional.) Starship was okay til they dropped the "Jefferson", then I totally agree they sucked. Air Supply and Vanilla Ice aren't really worth mentioning,…"

Vic Paric replied to Julie Jurrjens's discussion Misheard Lyrics"When I first heard Foreigner's song "Dirty White Boy", I thought Lou Graham was singing "Cause I'm a 30-watt bulb", meaning he wasn't very "bright".
Thirty-three years later, I'm thinking that…"
Vic Paric replied to Julie Jurrjens's discussion The Uncoverable"In the words of an old commercial: often imitated, never duplicated. On the other hand, their own covers of "Trouble No More" and "Statesboro Blues" compare favorably, at the very least, to the originals.

Vic Paric replied to Julie Jurrjens's discussion The Uncoverable"Good call, in that I can't think of anybody whose ever tried. A little help anyone?

Vic Paric replied to Gail Manchester's discussion Rock and Roll Agenda..songs with an Axe to grind"A bit obvious perhaps, but in response to all the anger, mud-slinging, and name-calling that seems to have reached an all-time high during this particular campaign, I think everyone involved would do well to heed John's advice and "free…"
Vic Paric replied to Thomas Cruz's discussion Stones-Mania"This was going to be my first choice. Those horns are straight out of "Rocks Off" ...

Vic Paric replied to Thomas Cruz's discussion Stones-Mania"And finally, never underestimate the J. Geils Band's ability to BLOW ... YOUR ... FACE ... OUT !!!!!

Vic Paric replied to Thomas Cruz's discussion Stones-Mania"Gilda Radner was certainly "under the influence" of the Stones for this tribute. As a bonus you get a pre-Letterman Paul Shaffer on drums ...

Vic Paric replied to Stan Schwieger's discussion Great "country" songs by Rock Artists."The mighty Zep cranked up this hoedown on the otherwise largely forgettable "In Through the Out Door". Yee Haw!

Anna Borg commented on Anna Borg's blog post I totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out"It's truly incredible, how his attitude seems to have changed. He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"
Stan Schwieger commented on Anna Borg's blog post I totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out"Harry, I was moved to buy that song based upon your post. And Anna, it is WAY cool to meet Mr. Nesmith. In all of my readings, he was very reclusive and didn't make public appearances...and damn sure didn't reaffirm his former…"

Anna Borg's blog post was featuredI totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out
So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
Stan Schwieger commented on Anna Borg's blog post I totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out"My latest brush with "greatness" was being about 2 seats from Eddie Money on a small turboprop out of Waco, Texas, about four weeks ago My friends came up with many great lines that I could have dropped, but my fave was "Hey…"
