    • :lol: But it evokes and era and brings back memories for some of us, Tom.
      And those things are what a lot of music is about, ja?

    • There’s a few do that to me, too and I’m not sure why, mostly.
      But the most ratbastard piece of snivelling dirge just has to be “Ebony and Ivory”.
      Whenever I hear that I want to strangle something. :twisted:

      • The one I can’t stand is Hotel California or for that matter anything by the arfing Eagles. :x

        • Beth Hart did an album and tour with Joe Bonnamassa recently. Un-effing-believable, that woman can wail!

  1. If it is any consolation KG, Robbie Robertson of the Band had this to say…..Robbie Robertson:
    I hate having (lyrics on albums) now. I say ‘Is my diction so bad?’ People piss and moan about it, but I don’t like it. When I read other people’s lyrics on their sleeves I think they look stupid. If I read the lyrics to some of my favourite songs, they don’t mean shit to me. But if I hear ‘When A Man Loves A Woman’, it is so powerful and emotional. All I want out of any of these songs is the right emotion. I don’t give a shit what the lyrics are. Dylan rambled on way too much for my liking. I remember years ago saying to him: ‘listen to ‘When A Man Loves A Woman’; I like this more than any of the songs we’re playing. This is emotional to me; our songs are clever. I don’t care for clever. Let’s try and get somewhere that has an emotional thing.

  2. “When a man loves a woman. ” Would someone mentally normal please explain to me why there is something wrong with this song.

    • There’s nothing wrong with it as far as I can tell, Mara.
      But then, I’ve never claimed to be mentally normal. :mrgreen:

  3. :shock: My all time favorite song! It lead me to slow dance with and hold tightly more than one beautiful woman. Rest in Peace Percy Sledge – Thanks a lot! :grin:
