Saturday 9: Crank Up the Tunes

Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: Crank Up the Tunes

1. What is your favorite 50’s band?
Ricky Nelson - Poor Little Fool
I think for me, Ricky Nelson is probably my choice because of the TV show, “The Nelson’s.” That was the show that we always watched and I remember him playing that song on the show all the time.

2. What is your favorite 60’s band?
The Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun
The late sixties had so many classic bands that it made it impossible to pick one band. So, I chose a band from the mid-sixties when my generation was just becoming aware of music. “The House Of The Rising Sun” is a great classic that is over shadowed by some of the great band like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

3. What is your favorite 60’s record album?
I cannot pick just one, that is like asking who is your favorite son or daughter, it is impossible to pick just one.
Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road, The Beatles ("The White Album"), Are You Experienced, Led Zeppelin I & II, Tommy, The Doors, The Band, Days Of Future Passed, On The Threshold Of A Dream, Steppenwolf, Chicago Transit Authority, Santana, Fresh Cream, Younger Than Yesterday, Volunteers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grand Funk Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, Traffic, Live Dead, and I could just go on and on. For me, the sixties and the seventies are the golden age of music.

4. What is your favorite 70’s band?
How do I pick one? How do I pick among Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath, The Eagles, Elton John, Van Morrison, Queen, The Allman Brothers Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Boston, Yes, Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Heart, and Kiss. How do you just pick one from a list like that?

5. What is your favorite 70’s record album?
This is impossible! Near the top of my choices are Dark Side of The Moon, Workingman’s Dead, Rumours, The Eagles.

6. What is your favorite 80’s band?
I would have to pick either the Police or Bon Jovi

7. What is your favorite 80’s record album?
Synchronicity

8. What is your favorite 90’s band?
I do not have any favorite bands from the 90’s

9. What is your favorite 90’s record album?
Ditto, the golden age of music was over.

I agree, it was really hard to pick just one album or one band!

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
