New state song needed?

[urbanrealtor]

And “guns of Navarone” is 50 years old.

Probably the first pop ska song in history.

They started performing it in 1960.

My son calls it “the train song”.

You dont know what you dont know and I am not someone you want to go head to head with musically. My sister did wardrobe for many of the biggest names in music and rocknroll. Her ex husband was one of the biggest guys in set design/tour managment etc. I toss out a few of the many highlights but there are so many more that I can remember spent in NYC clubs seeing early punk bands.

My dad used to take me to see shows when I was 6 and 7 at the Garden State Music Fair. A tent set up in my hometown. It was the late’s 60’s and I remember seeing Jose Feliciano, Ray Charles and Little Stevie Wonder

Woodstock 94 – former BIL basically designed and put on the whole show. Had all access pass and partied with Chris Farley, Tom Arnold, Flea among others. Was on the stage when the Red Hot Chili Peppers came out covered in mud and little else.

Zoo TV-BIL was tour manager, backstage for many nights including the inital arena tour

Clash-saw 5 nights in a row in NYC at Bonds

David Lee Roth- was in his locker room post concerts for a few shows on his first solo tour and enjoyed many a Beck’s beer and other things with him

Rolling Stones- front row center, need I say more

Pearl Jam-Iguanas in TJ early 90’s

pearl jam/red hot chili peppers/nirvana concert at del mar fairgrounds before they hit it big in early 90’s

The Band – CBGB’s

Ramone’s – CBGB’s

REM – in my college cafeteria back in 1981 or 82

Bon Jovi- kinda lame but my sister made his first stage costume when he was 16 and sneaking into bars to play. More times than I can count backstage

Same for Def leppard

Vague memories of Clapton (many times, jeff Beck, Robert Plant, Aerosmith (another BIL’s cousin was their long time manager and basically saved their lives), Scorpions, Van Halen, Mellencamp, Billy joel, devo, Big Audio Dynamite, Joe Strummer solo, Pogues, Dead kennedy’s, Sex Pistols, Dead Milkmen, Nils Lofgren (pre-springsteen solo shows in bars), Iggy Pop….

Springsteen – Countless shows many of which were in dive bars

I leave you with two final bands:

I have seen Lou Reed and the VU more times than I can count in NYC. I own everything he’s ever done including Metal Machine Music on vinyl.

I saw my first concert at age 5 in the King of Prussia mall parking lot- The Monkees

And I inherited my ability to trendspot from my Dad. True story. My parents used to got oconcerts with us and we were backstage at a Billy Joel Concert in Philly. Kal Rudman (google him if you dont know who he is) was there and we were talking to him. Kal is probably the most influential trend spotter in the history of braodcast radio. My dad asked him about Paul Simon’s new album Graceland and Kal said it is a disaster and no one will ever listen to it. My dad told him he was flat out wrong on it and it would be a monster commercial hit.

And I don’t drink Zin….ever

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=threadkiller]I’m surprised that I haven’t heard “The Last Resort” before, looks like any Eagles song may be out though as I don’t think the state can afford the royalties that Don Henley would insist on. I think we need to look toward the current generation for some good free upbeat music that can stir CA to action.[/quote]

threadkiller, are you trying to claim here that I’m not “current??” ;=][/quote]

No bearishgurl, did not mean to imply anything of the sort. In fact rereading my post got me wondering what I was talking about, maybe I was drinking. I myself am somewhat musically challenged, thank goodness my son got his musical abilities from his mother. Does anybody on this board know what it would take to change the state song, because as in art I think I recognize bad music/songs.
