What is your FAVORITE ALL TIME SONG?

I am just curious if any of my readers (even if I have any readers)...what their favorite song is....

Quite clearly, my favorite song is "Raised on the Radio" by the Ravyns.  It is tattooed on my ankle.....

The Ravyns are and always will be one of MY FAVORITE bands.....I found them during a time in my life that I was having some issues - and their music just spoke to me.....the members of the group have gone on to other musical adventures which I go to see as much as I can and they all are still friends of mine....and about once a year, they get together and have a reunion which I always try to support!

The song "Raised on the Radio" was featured on the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack.

Wikipedia:  The soundtrack album, Fast Times at Ridgemont High: Music from the Motion Picture, peaked at #54 on the Billboard album chart. The soundtrack contains many quintessential 1980s rock artists. Several of the movie's songs were released as singles, including Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby", which reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Other singles w ere the title track by Sammy Hagar, "So Much in Love" by Timothy B. Schmit and "Waffle Stomp" by Joe Walsh. In addition to Schmit and Walsh, the album features solo tracks by two other members of the Eagles, Don Henley and Don Felder. The soundtrack also included "I Don't Know (Spicoli's Theme)" by Jimmy Buffett.

Five tracks in the film, but not included on the soundtrack are: "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars, "American Girl" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, "We Got The Beat" by The Go Go's, Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," and "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms. In addition, the live band at the prom dance during the end of the film played two songs also not on the soundtrack: "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles and "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs.

Todd Rundgren also recorded the song "Attitude" for the film at Crowe's request. It was not included in the film, but was later released on Rundgren's Demos and Lost Albums in 2001.

So, what's your favorite song - OF ALL TIME?

Buddy Rich - A jazz drumming legend....stolen items!

I found this shared on a local muscian's Facebook page.  Cathy Rich shared this on her Facebook page....upon further investigation, I discovered that her father was Buddy Rich, a legendary jazz drummer.  Please share this, tweet it, or however your do your social media....this guy, Don Bennett seems to be an asshole..... Several weeks ago I contacted Don Bennett who owned a music store in Washington state. He is selling a set of my father's cymbals that were stolen from us after  he passed away. I tried to explain that the cymbals belong with my family, not being sold on Ebay for 30k, as he has been trying to do for quite some time. He pretended he didn't understand what I was saying..and I explained further. I was very nice and asked if after he was gone and vultures were selling off his property without permission, how he thought his family would feel? He left me a vm yesterday saying he was not going to give them back, and would continue to try to sell them.....I&#

FANTASTIC CAT: THE HAMILTON, WASHINGTON, DC: AUGUST 14, 2024

  FANTASTIC CAT  They said it couldn’t be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated 2022 debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat. Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a wildly satisfying collection of folk-rock, country, Americana, and good old rock & roll" that offers “equal doses of Dylan and Springsteen,” the album earned the vocal-trading, instrument-swapping collective their national TV debut, sold-out headline dates around the US and Europe, festival performances everywhere from Sundance to Take Root, and a song in the Showtime series Tulsa King. In 2023, the unlikely four-piece teamed up with all-star producer Butch Walker for a 50th anniversary take on Wings’ “Band On The Run,” which prompted even more love from Rolling
