Music Monday #1 Or How Long Could You Listen To Muskrat Love Before You Take Hostages?
Standard Music Monday Intro:
Let's say I have a CD player in my truck. And just for the sake of a blogable subject let's suppose that the CD player broke one day in such a way that the compilation CD currently in the player could not be ejected, the volume could not be changed from its position at medium loud and I cannot change over to the radio. If I'm in the truck and the key is in the ignition, then the CD is playing at medium high volume and it will continue to play until I exit the truck. It's music will span a trip to the corner convenience store for some Jumbo Juicy Love or across the entire nation. So I am stuck listening to this CD for all eternity. What 15 songs would I want the CD to contain and why?
My top 15 Songs in no particular order.
#1 La Grange by ZZ Top from the album Tres Hombres. This is the first song that I can distinctly remember listening to with Dream Girl. In fact I believe it was playing just before I asked her to marry me the first (very, very unsuccessful) time. It was of course long before we were married.
In fact we listened to that song being played on the 8-Track player strapped to the under side of the dash of my 1973 Volkswagen Beetle. I think we were also listening to this album the night Dream Girl turned her head to the right and blew chunks in the door pocket of the aforementioned Volkswagen Beetle. Well, actually it was more like frothy foam because all she had in her stomach was four or five Michelobs. She was a cheap date in those days. Now its always some fancy ass beer, imported from some foreign place like Wisconsin, brewed by some Canadian girl with braids and a cow in a barn, that costs $3.50 a bottle. Hey now that I think of it maybe if I had bought her the good stuff in the beginning she might have said yes the first time and not filled my door pocket with bile.
In those days ZZ Top was very cool. Would you like to know why they were cool. Because they didn't try to be cool. They were just ZZ Top, they were different and they were cool. About the time Velcro Fly came out they weren't cool any longer because they were trying too hard to be cool. That's kinda how cool works. When they try to be cool they just become a caricature of themselves when they were cool. Almost a cover band of themselves.

This made me smile, Randy. My beloved is a violinist-from the age of five he ate, drank, slept and dreamed classical music-and this was no mean feat in Central America; it's not as if they had classical music stations to listen to, or PBS, or whatever. But he saw the movie Amadeus, and he fell in love with the music and violin. Ultimately, he advanced to compete internationally on violin.
Sooooo, if he is working at his computer with his headphones on, and I can't get his attention for love nor money, what is he likely to be listening to? Uh huh. Old school ZZ Top. Even if it's past their peak, I want to take him to a concert some day
