This song came out in the 90s when I was leading a young teenage group at Platt known as Pathfinders. On one weekend away all the guys had this playing on their walkmans (before the days of MP3 players). This was my first introduction to grunge music. Kurt Cobain another entertainer who didn’t make it […]

Another masterpiece by REM. I love the lines “Oh no I said too much, I haven’t said enough.” Yes there is something very true about these lines, especially in boy/girl relationships. Very strange video clip though with some interesting dancing by Michael Stipe. ????

OK so yesterday I mentioned the song the pinball wizard which in the musical Tommy was performed by Elton John (see yesterday’s post). However, this is the Who’s version of the same song with Roger Daltrey singing. Of course in the musical Tommy (where this song comes from) Roger Daltrey plays Tommy the pinball wizard

Time for some more Elton John. This song reminds me of a holiday we had when I was about 5 years old at the Hydro Majestic in the Blue mountains, Australia. In that hotel there was a jukebox and this was one of the songs that you could select. My brother Mark and I used

After all the letters Sting received from couples saying how “Every Breath you take” was such a romantic song that captured the dynamics of their relationship Sting apparently in dismay exclaimed “why do people misunderstand my bloody music?”. In order to make the point that “Every breath you take” had nothing to do with young

This song has an interesting back story. Sting wrote this song about totalitarian regimes that keep tight control over their population through extensive surveillance. However, after this song was released, Sting received lots of letters from starry-eyed couples saying how this song captured beautifully the dynamics of their relationship. Sting was so nonplussed by the

Another great concert I was able to see back in the 80s. I remember Phil Collins opening his concert with synchro drumming (Phil Collins is a very accomplished drummer so he was on stage with another drummer). They then went into this song.
