We need more cowbells!

Amazing how a simple skit can leave a lasting memory among so many people. I'm sure C. Walken has a lot to do with it. I can't stand Will Ferrel's assinine movies, but he made the big time. I guess folks here are aware he attended U.S.C.

I thank you. I hadn't seen/heard that live version of "The End." I wish it hadn't been cut off before the song ended. I spent much of my (misspent?) youth listening to and dissecting Jim Morrison's lyrics.

I actually stopped by his grave (along with those of Chopin, Proust, Balzac, Moliere and Oscar Wilde), in 1985 or so, in Paris' Pere Lachaise Cemetery.

I can see why families of his "neighbors" would like to have him relocated (anyone a Century 21 Agent?) since there is Doors related graffiti spray painted throughout the cemetery and on headstones and burial vaults near his.

It was 40 years ago today that he died.

Whoa. I didn't even know that. Is it irony, coincidence, or something more that I posted those...

I love Jim. I love The Doors.

There are things known and there are things unknown and in between there are The Doors...

Here's a chuckle: I've seen two different "Education Connection" commercials, and thought both jingles were rather catchy. I saw the second one for the first time today. I swear I saw the girl from the first one at a store one day. Cute as hell...

Not sure if anyone has heard the back story behind this but Tartini had a dream that the Devil played a piece for him. He jotted down all the notes he remembered and came up with this. He says it does not compare to what he heard in his dream but it became the best piece he ever wrote. Today it is one of the hardest violin pieces to perform. If you are into baroque music this is very good piece.

Wouldn't you be scared shitless if the Devil came to you in a dream? I don't care if he was just playing the violin; I'd be freaked. lol

I've heard the song before but never knew the history until after I was reading a book today about classical and baroque music. This story was in there but apparently things like this have happen to a few composers. Look up Gloomy Sunday, the composer heard a mysteries song in his head that he never heard. He just went through a hard break up. He wrote the song and there have been a report of 200+ suicides directly related to that song. Including the composer and his ex-wife.

The Devil was the head of the choir supposively. My thinking is if any composer knew that fact and was struggling to make a piece. That when they had writers block and a piece came to the it would be attributed to the "Devil".

But I am with you, I would not hop out of bed and write music. I would run to the nearest church.

There's a story that goes with this. When I was a student at ND, for a time I shared a house with 5 other guys on Miner St. We were pretty notorious for having a party of some sort going pretty much 24/7. One night, however, during finals week, a couple of guys who lived there, and who were actually trying to at least make a show of caring about their classes, asked that the rest of us keep it down so they could go to bed early, since they both had finals the next day. We, of course respected that.

One of my other buddies and I were taking a class at that time called something like "classical music seminar." The class consisted of getting high, going to class, and listening to classical music while the professor talked about it. About the only requirement for exams was to be able to identify the composer, the piece of music, and maybe the movement as the prof played the records. So, to avoid having to go to class too much, my buddy and I went to the South Bend public library where I had a card and checked out all of the albums on the syllabus. That way, we didn't have to get up and go to class. We could just listen to these records on our own time, usually late at night while consuming a few bowls.

That is what we were doing this particular night. All of a sudden, there was all this racket on the front porch, and into the darkened house burst these crazy, flaky, girls from St. Mary's (Smick Chicks, we used to call them, I don't know if that is still true) who we had partied with on occasion. The very first thing one of them did was sit down at the drum set I had set up in the living room and started banging away. We hushed them up as quickly as we could, explaining to them the situation. They saw the big pile of stash and the bong sitting on the coffee table, and invited themselves to join us. We told them that was fine, but they were going to have to be quiet, sit in the darkened, candlelit room and listen to Mozart's 40th symphony, because we were doing our homework.

That lasted about 5 minutes, and they started bitching and whining that they wanted to hear some rock and roll. So, to shut them the hell up, I went over and put on this album, which belonged to a roommate of mine. It starts out with a live version of "Roadhouse Blues," which I cranked up good an loud, which made them really happy. But shortly into all of their "yeah, rock and roll" and all that, the song faded out, and this poem came on. The looks on their faces were priceless,, especially as my buddy and I were now leering at them with the most lecherous looking expressions we could manage. Never saw girls abandon a party so quickly. We, of course, laughed our asses off. Then, I think we went down to Bridget's

military: nice piece. I'd not heard it before. It sweeps through bucolic, frantic, melancholic and manic.

I've had the devil visit me many times, both in dreams and when awake. Oddly enough he's the spittin' image of ACamp.

I met him at the Crossroads. But since he failed to follow through with his promises I told him to bugger off.

Morrison wasn't always moody, introspective and bizarre. He knew how to "have a real good time." In The End, though, It seems that he knew a little too much ...

I take it you had the chicken tenders ...

No, I don't think so. I can't for the life of me remember ever eating anything at Bridget's. Went there strictly for the quarter beers, the great sound system and choice of music, and the fact that Terry the owner always let me cash checks for $5 to drink on, no matter how many I bounced, so long as I made them good later. She was great.

I'm a day late, but it's a French holiday, so I doubt anyone will really notice:
