Speaking of the Easybeats, here’s the latest from Fil, discussing the song of theirs that MLT covered:

Very groovy, Howard. (Or, from a northern hemisphere perspective, hilly.) Looks like they were ahead of the curve with regard to the early rock-and-roll nostalgia wave that I had thought started with American Graffiti.
I actually recognize the announcer for this show from a video I once found of Bruce Woodley performing Friday Man. He’s got a wonderful voice. (Well, both of them, actually.)

I’m actually not a Bill Murray fan at all, but he was perfectly cast in Groundhog Day. It’s one of the very few movies I’ve seen that I cannot find a single thing to complain or nitpick about. How few is that? It came out in 1993, and it’s still the most recent movie that I’ve put on that list.

One of the most fascinating things I’ve learned since joining this club is how vast the differences sometimes are from country to country concerning familiarity with particular groups and particular songs. And it all seems to boil down to marketing decisions rather than to cultural differences. Thanks to everyone here for expanding my musical horizons!

Jacki, I’d say that Groundhog Day appeals to the same sensibilities as Back to the Future. If you love one, you’ll love the other.

Hey! Jung? Jung Roe! I thought that was you! Now don’t you tell me you don’t remember me, because I sure as heckfire remember you. Ned! Ryerson!
Did you catch my new TV commercial a couple of months ago?

Bing!!! Am I right, or am I right, or am I right?

Thanks, Jung! That’ll do nicely. I thought I had seen a cat or two in one of their photos, but I couldn’t remember where.

Man, I miss having cats. I was just thinking how cute it would be to see a picture of Mona and Lisa holding cats, but unfortunately this was the closest thing I could find:

Although I recognize the technical proficiency involved, I’m generally not a fan of guitar solos, especially ones as complex as those featured in this video. For whatever reason, they’re just not an element that my ears crave when I listen to a song.
A couple of exceptions would be the intro to the Beach Boys’ “Fun Fun Fun”, and George’s solos in “Can’t Buy Me Love” and “Something”. I’ve also grown to enjoy Lisa’s work at the end of “Hotel California”.

Yeah, it’s 2 AM, and my need to sleep is almost pulp-able. Good night!

Well, I try my zest.

That’s a pretty groan-worthy pun, Jacki. Orange you ashamed of yourself?

Yes, I’ve seen those UFO videos. I haven’t read anything about their interpretation, but as a confirmed skeptic, until we see some CLEAR images and/or detections from other sources, I’m going to say that we’re looking at defective pixels in the camera system.

You’re right, Jung: what a stupid reason not to send the Beatles into deep space! Of course the chances of Voyager actually being found by an alien intelligence are practically nil, but symbolically it would have been a proud accomplishment for the human race. Not that the classical composers are any less worthy, of course, but I want to see those aliens boogie.
You’d think they would have put a Beatles CD on the spacecraft that flew by Pluto a few years ago on its way out of the solar system, but I guess the whimsical spirit of the 70’s has been forgotten.

I’ve been fortunate enough to see Paul McCartney in concert four times, so those would be my four most memorable experiences. The first one was the best, because I was so thrilled just to see him in the flesh. Honestly, if he had just walked across the stage and waved, that alone would have been worth the price of admission to me.
At one concert I got to my seat about an hour before he came on stage. The whole time the PA system was playing recordings of his music, with no repeats. Each new song would inspire some people in the audience to smile and dance and sing along. At some point I thought, “This guy is going to be performing for two hours, and these are all songs that he will NOT be doing!” What an amazing catalog he has to choose from.
At the other end of the memorability spectrum, there was the time I attended a concert by Genesis, a group that I had absolutely no interest in. But my then-teenaged sisters were big fans and wanted to go, and my mom insisted that I chaperone them. In my experience there has been no lonelier feeling than watching 20,000 people go nuts for two hours over music that I neither knew nor cared about.
