Yes, excellent pick there Joe. That Jade Castrinos has one powerful voice.
How’s this for another live version of Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone”?

Yep! Everyone must get stoned, especially at a Rolling Stones concert!

”Desolation Row”, from Highway 61 Revisited.

I must say we were really spoilt for good music in the nineteen-sixties. We had the British Invasion, but we also had Bob Dylan, and what an awesome and prolific writer he proved to be. Both the Beatles and The Rolling Stones had their own particular camps, with some crossover, but no one was more polarising than Dylan. People seemed to either love him or hate him. Initially he had a huge Following from the Folkies of the early sixties. However, many of these fans deserted him in droves when he “sold out” and went electric in 1965.
I am one of the fans who was starting to really get into pop music when Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone” erupted onto the airwaves, bringing Dylan’s music to a more diverse and universal audience and at the same time, the debate over Dylans singing escalated, as did the worth of his latest sensation, “Like A rolling Stone”.
After the initial shock, I decided it was a brilliant recording and so began my love affair with Dylan music. I liked all his sixties albums, but my favourites would have to be –
Highway 61 Revisited – 1965 and Blonde on Blonde – 1966. However, there is much that I liked on his “Nashville Skyline” and “John Wesley Harding“ albums. Of course there were also highlights with all his other sixties albums though.
My love affair with Dylan began to fade by the mid seventies.

Now that is another great Buffalo Springfield number. Some people in the Club are not Neil Young fans (looking at you Jacki), as they hear his voice as sort of Dylan like, and they don’t think much of Dylan’s singing. I’ve never had any issues with either Dylan’s or Young’s singing and had plenty of Neil Young records in the seventies, both with CSN&Y and his solo career.

My first reply is referring to your “Soupy Sales The Mouse” video Joe. You’ve been posting some pretty good videos. Just wondered where you pulled that awful Mouse video from. I’d never seen it before and now I can’t unsee it, if you know what I mean.
My second reply refers to your “Could it be, this song had anything to do with Richard Starky choosing Ringo Starr?”
No offence intended.

What a shocker! I won’t thank you for sharing that one with us Joe. You’ve certainly blotted your copybook there! MLT, please avoid at all cost.

That would have to be a no, Joe.
In November 1959, Richard Starkey joined what eventually became Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
About this time he adopted the stage name Ringo Starr; derived from the rings he wore and also because it implied a country and western influence. His drum solos were billed as Starr Time.

So true Jung. It also means people are no longer dumping unwanted pets to the same extent. I just don’t know how sapiens can be so cruel sometimes. I just hope all those people I now see walking their pets passed my place to the many nearby parks and walking paths keep it up when things get back go normal.
My Luca is such a wonderful companion and support during these times.

That is an awesome watch Jung. Was it a birthday gift or a special present to yourself? It’s a bit difficult to judge the size from the video. Is it a practical one to wear or more for show.
Amazing just how skilled old fashioned watchmakers were. Especially the Swiss.

I’ve never been to the states Joe. Australian born and bred!

”And the music goes ’round my head
And I can’t hear a thing you said
And my life echoes through my brain
It’s so comical I’m insane”On the subject of Friday on the mind, the above is the chorus of another Easybeats song.
Well done with your stream of consciousness for Fridsy Jacki!

Yes, but it’s believed the marriage was never consumated and was to help him avoid the draft.

Joe, The Big 3 was an American folk trio consisting of singer Cass Elliot (1941–1974), singer-songwriter-banjo player Tim Rose (1940–2002), and singer-guitarist Jim Hendricks (b. 1940).

Joe, Australia is the worlds largest Island and the worlds smallest continent. Consequently it has a wide range of climates. Most of the population lives on a thin coastal strip, as the inland is mostly desert.
I live in Queensland, the northern state on the highly populated east coast. I live in Queensland’s capital, Brisbane, in the coastal south east.
There are five predominant climatic zones in Queensland, based on temperature and humidity:
hot humid summer (far north and coastal)
warm humid summer (coastal elevated hinterlands and coastal south-east)
hot dry summer, mild winter (central west)
hot dry summer, cold winter (southern west)
temperate – warm summer, cold winter (inland south-east, e.g. Granite Belt).Mona and Lisa spent around five months in Adelaide, South Australia, the driest state in the driest country in the world. They also visited the Great Barrier Reef in Northern Queensland and Uluru in Central Australia. Perhaps this is a question you could put to them in ”Ask The MonaLisa Twins”, in the Forum.
