What are you listening to?

[Pyraxis]

Thank you.
 

Not quite sure what for. 

(Nevermind, just read the other thread.)

You know so much music I've never even heard of. My pop culture knowledge is not fantastic even for stuff of my own generation. I went and looked some up though, just out of curiosity.

And here's me still on P!nk.

This used to be my convention networking inspiration song, back when I was trying to figure out bars and parties and all that, for the sole purpose of career.

Tommy James was a 60s pop icon. Many "hit" songs on the radio and radio ruled music in that era. I learned to roller skate at our only local rink around 13 years of age while three girls competed for my attention, all the time "Crimson And Clover" among many others, blasted from every corner of the building. There were three of us guys hanging out and wishing we knew what to do with the girls chasing after us. I kissed all three at different times.
Only fucked one though and we were in our late 20s when that reunion occurred. Many years before I even met my wife to be.

Good times. Hot rods, bonfires and tailgating in the parking lot, all the cool guys out there drinking, smoking and waiting for the bored  "legal age"  skaters to wander out. Us young punks were inside skating and needing a ride home from daddy or mommy envious of anyone with a car.

Today, I've been streaming music ... mostly blues, including Joe Bonamassa, of course.

  By the time I was growing up, roller skating was a place the elementary school took all the crossing guards and playground "peacekeepers" (that was a fucking demon child of 80's pop psychology extreme bastardization of Nathaniel Branden  ) as a treat at the end of the year. Not a punk in sight. Little eleven year olds running up to the boys and saying "my friend wants to know if you'll skate with her".

Skating, (especially opening a rink) in its "heyday"  was considered a cash cow for many types of businesses, some criminal. As I grew more aware of what makes the  "World Go 'round,"  I saw this stuff more clearly.

I feel that set of relevancies might have ruined skating for all of us, in the long run. What about a mean to a better end?

I have seen in my mind's eye a future, as have many, where each person was more free and the shoes that everyone wears propel them by power.
What are we waiting for?!!!?   Another message from Mercury?


Well, it's not really that bad in my own mind, but, I am right! Even BTTF points out a possible version.

We already have small drones that can carry over two hundred pounds of ordinance. Can't we also carry the same size bag of mostly water balanced above the mechanism, instead of under? You know I am right.


Honestly, I have enjoyed the memories of that time, recently, even more than I indulged in the frustration of future not yet arriving.

OT:

Miles Davis in his "electric exploration,"  early on in the 70s at Fillmore and RCMH.
Actually shuffling CDs, because I have bought several collections in the past year and have yet to rip them to my system. (eBay was a blessing last year with everyone else worried about money and selling everything. I was not worried yet and took advantage.)

Have you ever played with a friend or a chat group using text by just hitting the middle word suggested or something?
This was my idea for a similar game to play using a "sign off"  with each post and all parties making fun of the result for fun. Just for fun as just fun. Nothing more.
Too little too late, though. I am not in a condition to play internet games right now, but I wish I was. I wish I had nothing better to do, sometimes. Until we are Re-Dwelled it will be this way.
