Great minds... ive literally just sent that same clip to about ten of my friends on facebook... How cool is issac!! hehe.. (and the outfit too).

I saw him play live at glastonbury and he played shaft there. The way he sung it and conducted the orchestra was magical.

Me too !

It's great to see Jesse Jackson with that hair, and obviously fired up, but possessed of no rhythm or sense of timing.

ETA: I will give him kudos though. The man can orate.

 

[00Syd]

I saw the guy who wrote the song Shaft (the sax player.... I think? If I am not completely mistaken? Which is a possibility) perform last summer. It was damn funky.

When i first saw that clip and realized that the guy introducing him was Jesse Jackson, I laughed for a good 5 minutes, at least.

Haha, and when I first found that clip I did the same thing, I sent it to just about everyone I know via facebook.

Have you seen any other clips from Wattstax? They are all amazing and funky.

We'll be playing all sorts of boss music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

What is boss music?

 

[Homburg]

What is boss music?

"boss", used as it is in this context, is a colloquialism meaning, good, cool, strong, etc.

 

[00Syd]

Boss = slang from the 50s/60s that means "kick ass"

And what Homburg said

Ohhhh, that makes sense.

So… why no 80’s?

this = not boss

 

[00Syd]

Hahaha THATS why no 80s.

The 80s... *shudder* ...so ugly...

 

[YourCaptor]

Hahaha THATS why no 80s.

Hey now, that song actually does say something interesting now, and that is don’t join the bandwagon to avoid harassment, be who you are.

Even if it be damn ugly

I'll take your word for it.. I didn't stick around long enough to listen to the lyrics

 

[Homburg]

"Der Kommissar" is an awesome song.

And don't be dissing the 80's, gal. You've already mentioned an act or two that you dig that rose up in the 80's. PE, for example.

 

[00Syd]

There are a lot of GREAT bands from the 80s, I know, I know.. but the fashion/style/everything else... uuuuuuuuuggggglllllyyyyy


Just sayin'

Well, I'm not really going to argue with you on that point. Lotsa unfortunate fashion choices in the 80's.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Good taste on the bdsm boards, home of goth and shit. Well well well.

This is video and song sums up my basic impression of the late 60’s, without the glitz and glamour.

This song is also the inspiration for a story I am currently working on.

To up the mood a little, one of the coolest songs ever.

For the sake of unglifying

And to brag, I saw Herman's Hermits life for free on the Santa Cruz board walk, great night.
