09.04.2009: "Pure Pop Pleasures" + "Mitchs Plattenteller"

Rob FlemingYeah, ich hatte den Bravo Starschnitt an der Tür. Und einen gestrickten Pulli mit BCR drauf. Zusammen mir den Hosen sah das echt schräg aus.

Ich hab immerhin noch die „It’s A Game“-LP!

Kevin Johnson – Rock’n’Roll I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life (1973)

Jetzt aber Taschentücher raus.;-)

I can still remember when I bought my first guitar,
Remember just how good the feeling was, put it proudly in my car,
And my family listened fifty times to my two song repertoire,
And I told my mum her only son was gonna be a star.
Bought all the Beatle records,
sounded just like Paul,
Bought all the old Chuck Berry`s, 78`s and all,
And I sat by my record player, playin` every note they played,
And I watched them all on TV, makin every move they made.

Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life,
All the dreamy sunny Sundays,
all the moon-lit summer nights,
I was so busy in the back room writin` love songs to you,
While you were changin` your direction,
and you never even knew,
That I was always,
just one step behind you.

`66 seemed like the year I was really goin` somewhere,
We were living in San Francisco, with flowers in our hair,
Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand,
But the guys and me were something more than just another band,
And then `69 in LA, came around so soon,
We were really making headway and writing lots of tunes,
And we must have played the wildest stuff we had ever played,
The way the crowds cried out for us,
we thought we had it made.

`71 in Soho, when I saw Suzanne,
I was trying to go it solo, with someone else`s band,
And she came up to me later and I tooke her by the hand,
And I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand,
And she followed me through London,
through a hundred hotel rooms,
Throught a hundred record companies who didn`t like my tunes,
And she followed me when, finally, I sold my old guitar,
And she tried to help me understand,
I`d never be a star.

August RamoneDa hättest du beim Forumstreffen aber allen die Show gestohlen wenn du es gewagt hättest.:sonne:

Wahrscheinlich hätten die mich so gar nicht erst ins F24 reingelassen

Ich habe mich, als das rauskam, sofort in Melodie und Text verliebt.:liebe_2:

scorechaserWunderschöner Song, Rossi! :bier:

Lief immer im Radio, als ich klein war, ich hab erst viel später herausgefunden, wie der Sänger heißt.

Die sind tollerant, in dem Laden. Wie dürften wir da sonst immer wieder …….

Und zum Schluss noch einen Gruß in die Nachbarschaft – hello Howie!
