| Sheryl Crow – If It Makes You Happy Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The Thing that I read about the song was that it was a response to her boyfriend at the time(Eric Clapton)... The 2 were dating and Eric was a tee-totaler... Eric would preach to her about the evils of chemical or alchohol abuses... Eric had done it all as a younger man and was speaking with experience but Sheryl was younger and still had some fun to have... | |
| Robert Plant – Big Log Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Taking the mention of Freeway and equating it to a path to the devil is a bit of a stretch... I;m not sure that the song meaning is but it's more likely comparing Love or Loves with a journey... I also question weather "the journey is done" signifies "A Call to Death" It could be the end of a relationship... It could be end of a long bowel movement... who knows... I respect your opinion 10west but Man you have some Dark Thoughts... | |
| Kansas – Carry on Wayward Son Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm not sure where you got the Vietnam Connection... I guess it is possible that Vietnam was a part of the equation but I don't get it... Kerry Livgren the Song Writer is very religious... He Teaches Sunday School to this very day... Kerry said that the inspiration for the Song came right out of Book of Luke... Chapter 15 to be exact Versus 11 through 32... The Story of the wayward son... In which a Man had 2 sons and divided up his estate equally between them... 1 son stayed and worked with his father and the other son the wayward one took off and squandered all of his money on a good time... The Wayward Son returned home Empty handed and the Father was so glad to see him that they killed the Fatted Calf and had a celebration... The Good Son couldn't understand why his father would welcome him back after his wasteful and sinful ways and kill the fatted calf because he had never killed the fatted calf for him while he stayed loyally by his side... The Father said to the good son... You have always been with me and everything I have is yours but tonight we must celebrate because your brother who was lost has now been found... Now I'm not highly religious either but... In a nutshell... Kerry Livgren is saying to everyone... Carry on with whatever it is you are doing... Have a good time... He's speaking to the Rockers out there... Because you can always comeback to the lord... That is what the song is about... |

| Stevie Ray Vaughan – Pride and Joy Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The Great thing about Rock is what it means to everyone individually... The discussion taking place here is completely unneccessary... As Far as I can tell... Muzzy simply listed some guitarists that he felt were better then Eddie Van Halen... And he is right because that is how he feels... It's not like their is some sort of world recognized Grading or scoring that takes place... What does the guitarist mean to you... Does he blow you away... People tell me that Chet Atkins is perhaps the best ever... It's not my cup of tea so he's not in MY rankings... Neil Young has said that there is no one in the same Room as Jimi Hendrix and there never will be... Personally, I think Jimi is a little over the top for me... BUT THAT IS JUST MY OPINION... Yet I love some of his songs... Little Wing is perhaps one of all time favorites... Stevie is without doubt one of personal favorites... He personally saved me from life as a Foreigner Fan... The 80's in MY OPINION was a horrible decade for music... Synth was dominating the landscape and here comes Stevie Ray... A light in the Darkness... The First time I heard Stevie I put my Foreigner Records away for good at age 18 and I realized that Rock and Roll had another level... From there I Found Zeppelin, The Who, Jimi, Everyone... Stevie caused me to Join a Band... Start a career in radio... When I think back... Stevie Ray Vaughan may have been the reason that my life is so heavily invested in Rock and Roll to this day at age 39... That's what Stevie meant to me... Who's the greatest ever... Who Knows... It's doesn't matter because everyone has an opinion... So, ZPS2 you really should stop acting like a know it all and be respectful... It's great that you play Guitar just like the other million or so who can strum but it doesn't make you an expert on how Muzzy should feel... Be respectful... |
