Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car
Thinkin' that I might have drove ya too far...
I was also thinkin' about the times I rode in **your** car and how you scared the shit outta me, like the time you hit 90 mph at the bottom of the Woodward on-ramp to 696. We survived all that, barely.
That would be the car in question and its driver.
It looks to me like the good kind of "shit scared outta me.."
ReplyDelete.. and "Badge" was my introduction to what the really good music was.
You always amaze me with you knowledge of good music. There is something about that pic of TSMP sitting on the table that just speaks of the little memories.
ReplyDeletemarc: It WAS mostly good. You know what they say about aircraft and landings, right? "Any landing you can walk away from..." Same sorta deal here.
ReplyDeleteLou: That was a fun weekend and yeah... pics DO invoke memories, good ones... of Former Happy Days.
A friend of mine restores old cars. He just got done with a 1961 corvette that basically they took the body off, and moved it to a new car.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe how thin the fiberglass was on the early corvettes. No hand layup and rolling the resin in there. Almost as good as carbon fiber today.
Anyway, the body took about $40,000 to get right, and the new frame, motor, etc was another 100k.
Those corvette owners don't have deep pockets, the pockets are endless, sort of like the USA debt...
Cream was a goofy act. They were at that point where the drugs hadn't quite crippled them, but wasn't adding to their music either.
ReplyDeleteI read they could barely tolerate each other.
One thing I was entertained with, though, was Ginger Baker drumming. He always looked stoned, and drooling, but always came through. If you just focus on the drumming of this recording, you can hear a really talented musician. He just wasn't much to look at (hee, as neither am I...)

ReplyDeleteThat would be SOME Vette owners and most definitely not ALL Vette owners. ;-)
On: Well, Clapton obviously was/is the most successful of the three, but I also followed Bruce for a while when he moved on to other things. As for Baker? Agreed. I liked his work on the only Blind Faith album a LOT and bought the first Air Force album...
Just 90? *grin*
ReplyDelete90 was ENOUGH, Laurie... trust me.
