John Mellencamp - “Minutes to Memories”. Amongst a bunch great songs.

If asked to give a top 100 I’m sure at least 20 of those would be Mellencamp. Harley riding Mellencamp. Not week trying to save my career Mellencamp. No Jack and Diane either, the good shit.

Canned Heat had a number of good albums but two are absolute classics imo:

Hooker and Heat
Canned Heat Live in Europe

Must haves for rock/ blues fans,...

You might appreciate this then. I saw Dave Lombardo sit in with a jazz band at a house party in San Luis Obispo. That guy can play like nobody’s business.

Not gonna lie... after reading this, i kind of got a chubby.

I cant remember if I ever posted about these guys, but they are pretty good. Its stripped down folk, country, and rock (some rockabilly too). They are local. This video was shot not too far from where I live.

She has a very unique voice. She did a duet w/ Hayes Carll that we should all listen to that pokes fun at political division.

Haha. Welcome back!

Here’s another one. I was pretty drunk after playing a show at a club in San Francisco. Mike Dirnt of all people comes up to me and we start talking bass playing. Being the classy guy I am I accidentally dumped my pint of beer on him. He asked me if I wanted another one. I replied sure. He walked off and I never saw him again. Lol.

John Mellencamp - “Minutes to Memories”.

That song literally happened to me.

Bought the Scarecrow cassette at my Dad's buddy's record shop in Evansville on the way down to Kentucky to bury my Mom. After the service, we followed my Aunt back to her house in Nashville for a day. Had some deep, necessary discussions during that trip that lay heavy on me to this day. I listened to that album 50x those two days because it was written for me. My Dad was from WKY and retired from a steel mill near Gary as did his Daddy. I saw the sun set on the Tenn line. We drove through the hills of KY across the Ohio River back home. There's literally not a line in that song that doesn't apply to us.

Sadly, my Dad passed a year later on my Mom's birthday and I got to live through Rain on the Scarecrow when I had an estate auction & sold everything but my Sportster.

This song crushes me but it's as close as I can get to having it back. Vivid shit for something that happened 35 years ago this Friday.

This was always my favorite version:

Class act by him. No chance he was coming back lol. A few summers ago I was in DC and there was a ton of people there for the opening of the AA Museum. Walking through the Mall there were all these tents and small venues where there were lots of different things happening. One of them was where Stanley Clarke was doing demos and giving advice on bass playing. Talked with him for a bit. Great dude. Amazing bassist.

So many of his songs "speak" to me too. I remember buying Nothin' Matters and What If It Did back in the early 80s. Wore that thing out, and triggered me to buy his earlier John Cougar. Fast forward to the late 80s/early 90s, and one of my college roommates had to listen to NMAWIID in it's entirety every weekend when we were pre-partying. Brings back a lot of great and hard memories. Saw JM about 5 years ago in Bloomington on campus with a buddy. Great show. Went camping with the same buddy not long after about an hour out of Indy and played just about every Mellencamp tune. These days, I listen to the deep cuts more than the popular ones.

Lol.

Stanley Clarke. That’s super cool!

You still play at all? As far as bass goes I’ve never really moved beyond playing rock and roll/metal with a pick. I messed around with learning some slap bass but that was mostly to annoy my band mates (i.e. I wasn’t that good at it).

Not as much as I would like but I do play. I fell through a roof while at work 5-6 years back and broke my wrist very badly during the impact. I used to slap and play finger style but since then I have not recovered my previous capabilites with that hand (picking hand). Now I play with a pick out of convenience for faster songs and am pretty much playing metal and rock. I just try to learn songs I didnt know before. Still listen to all kinds of music though. Currently working my way through Tools new album. Almost finished

I wish I learned how to play the bass when I was younger.

I fucking love Tool. Have you ever seen those kids rock out?

Best song on that CD. That opening is off the hook. I remember the first time I heard it. Was on the beach in Daytona spring breakin', and my friends drove up and parked with it blasting.

Two classic great CDs. I burned both on the same disk in college to listen to during road trips. I still pop that CD in sometimes during long car rides.

The old Mellencamp always remind me of dad. I remember he dropped me off at mom's one time and she heard me singing "Tonight" - "Come here, little boy. Put my ----- right on your face."... Mom smacked the shit out of me...LOL. I told pops and he was like "what the hell did she do that for?".

Great stuff.

EVHs mastery of the Steinberger makes this riff/song. Steinberger himself has said that Eddie was the only one who knew how to play it correctly.

I had a Fischer rack system in the 80s, with 4 of those 3 footish speakers. I got yelled at several times and actually had the album taken away from me because of that line. I also got in trouble for the Prince album. Never got smacked because of those two. I did get popped in the head though by my dad when I played Add It Up by the Violent Femmes when we had family over. I really only blasted music when I was home alone. I was smart enough to have stuff turned down by the time the rents got home. I took the same stereo to college with me. I supplied the tunes to the courtyard most weekends. Most requested tune..... Wild Wild West. lol. Might have to break out the Kool Moe Dee now.

The openings to several of those songs were just so incredible. Why Can't this Be Love was pretty punch you in the face too. Alex booming and then Eddie. And the synth on Love Walks in and Dreams. I prefer David, but 5150 was a great CD.

Nothing but a G Thing was my intro to gangsta rap. Mom bought me The Chronic cassette tape at Eastgate Mall (RIP) and I was so excited to put in as soon as we got to the car. Oh boy - to say she wasn’t happy is an understatement. I thought she was going to throw it out the window but let me keep it.

I had NWA, 2 Live Crew, Eazy E, etc.. I had The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are tape in 86ish, but I was very careful when I played it. The parents would have thrown that out for sure, and probably took my stereo away... My dad was pretty cool about some music, but he hated rap. He liked Melencamp, so I could get away with Tonight and similar songs so long as mom couldn't hear, but 2LC would have got me a broken bone or two.
