We went out last night and the bands were playing Tom Petty's music. This is one of the bass player's favorites.

I'm not sure whether I've already posted this one before, but this was one of my favorite songs when I was in college — well, when I was on my first round in college anyway. ;)
The International Geophysical Year spanned from July 1957 until December 1958, and the song dates back to 1982. Not much has come true of this hopeful vision for the then-imagined future, though — 90 minutes from New York to Paris by way of an underseas train? A wheel in space? Nah, war is better for business, they said. :p
This one's simply because I consider it one of the most epic anti-establishment anthems of the last three decades. ;)
And with it, we shall express our undying hope that one day, one of those people who put videos with lyrics up on YouTube will be doing it without getting the lyrics wrong and/or misspelling anything — it's "Some of those that were forces", not "Some of those that wear forces." :rolleyes:
I've loved Mark Knopfler's music from the 80s etc. Here is an introduction to his many guitars.

Even though this song is in fact a cover version of a song originally written and performed by Shuggie Otis, having heard both versions, I still prefer this one. Maybe it's because this was the first version I ever heard — I only discovered the Shuggie Otis version about ten years ago or so — or maybe it's because the original version has more of a folk-like rhythm instead of the funk/soul rhythm applied by the Brothers Johnson. Or maybe it's just a combination of both. ;)
I first discovered this song when listening to the BBC Top-20 on a Sunday evening on long wave radio back in 1977 — I was only 14 years old — and I instantly took a liking to this song, and especially because of the harp-like keyboard sounds and the "cosmic" guitar solo. This finger-breaking guitar solo — with two electric guitars playing in close harmony — was actually performed for the studio recording by renowned session guitarist and jazz virtuoso Lee Ritenour, but the original version of the song by Shuggie Otis had Shuggie performing the solo himself on an acoustic guitar, without any delay effects.
The song was never a great success for the Brothers Johnson over here in Belgium — it did much better in the UK — while they did on the other hand score a big hit with their next single, "Stomp!" However, the song was featured on the soundtrack of the year 2000 remake of the movie "Shaft", which brought it a renewed popularity.
Maybe it's just my autistic mind, but I distinctly remember a dream I had when I was 14, in which I was on board of a spaceship, together with a girl I was in love with at the time, and we were both wearing a kind of uniform comprised of pristine white trousers, a white sweater, rubbery boots and a black waist belt. It was a very enjoyable dream — probably because of the presence of the girl I was in love with, but the setting of the spaceship was also very much to my liking — and every time I heard this song, those keyboard parts and that guitar solo would remind me of that dream. Later on, another factor would augment my liking of this song, i.e. the Gibson S-1 guitar played by the singer in this video — I was 14-15 years old when I started developing my interest in electric guitars, and I really liked the looks of that Gibson S-1. ;)
Sadly enough, in the video recording here-below, Lee Ritenour's epic solo has been abridged — the actual recording of the song is 4 minutes and 57 seconds, but the video clip is only 3 minutes and 29 seconds — as it's a video excerpt from Toppop, a weekly music chart program on Dutch television. Back in those days, the Dutch media would often shorten songs for the radio and television broadcasts of the pop charts by cutting out certain instrumental passages — or even an entire refrain — so as to be able to squeeze more music into a shorter program.
A little flashback to the 1980s, when selfies were still made with Polaroid cameras. :p The guitar solo in this song is a killer, by the way. ;)
Tag a mate and say nothing lol ;)

very nice...that's one for the family cats... :) and me when I working.
My daughter did that with a spackling knife and paintbrushes when she was in 10th grade. She's a senior now and headed to the Savannah College of Art and Design next year. She's reviewing others as well. Thanks for asking.
No, I'm a struggling software engineer and have been for about 20 years... :) Coincidentally, or not I have done mostly user interface work.

Sounds correct to me...I'm always trying to give her new ideas for her art...(she has always been very independent concerning what she wanted to do in her art classes). I asked her what she thought about doing 4d art and she questioned what I meantt, so I showed her the dimensions video.
That's an interesting perspective you have. Forwhatever It's Worth: I read once that the artistic urge evolved along the same path as language (i.e. vocabulary).
