  • I love musicals, too, but they’re a whole different beast than a regular movie with a well done score behind it. And while the greats like John Williams, Danny Elfman (my favorite) or Hans Zimmer certainly dominate the film score landscape, some of my favorites scores are from guitar players and other musicians known for their bands or “regular” work. Mark Knopfler is probably my favorite guitar player and he’s done some fantastic film scores, the Princess Bride being my favorite. Trevor Rabin has also done many incredible scores, and I think my favorite of his is The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

    Now that just might be something I’d fly to England for. If that ever becomes possible again.

    Wow. What a story. We went through that same situation here in Oregon last year, and while we were able to come back home after evacuating, I know many people who weren’t as entire towns were wiped off the map. Too bad M&L didn’t release summer rain last year – a lot more might have been saved! LOL.

    I also really like Mona’s watercolors in general. “Silhouettes of Life” is my favorite. I also like Lisa’s Obligatory Sunset. And we sort of have you, Jung, to thank for the existence of Midnight Thoughts, so, thanks! 😀 However, all three of the recent Janitor Joe pieces blow everything else away in my opinion.

    That’s awesome! Next thing I know I’ll be hearing them in the supermarket while I’m getting groceries!

    Me too. If it has to be one extreme or the other, I’d prefer it hot. But I also need to stain my deck and it’s too hot to apply stain. Grr.

    Very nice! 90 degrees sounds so much nicer than the 112 it is here.

  • Fascinating tidbit. All school administrators with budgetary influence should be forced to watch this.

    Hi Jung, I was a bit perplexed at the absence of the Beatles on the list until I really thought about it. I think if they had stayed true to what they were doing in their early years and not gone in all the weird directions they did, they definitely would be on the list. One of the descriptors they used in the video when talking about those bands that they picked is “consistent,” which certainly wouldn’t describe the Beatles! LOL. But even so, there’s still a strong argument for their inclusion. I’m reminded of that “All You Need Is Love” video…you certainly won’t see U2 surrounded by peaceful fans all singing “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For…” 😀

    3 times? Wow. Fortunate. Totally, right…they made the whole audience a part of the performance and even though it wasn’t the same kind of “electrifying” as Def Leppard, there was still some kind of binding energy.

    “Do we even have to explain this?” ROFL!!! Can’t argue with that list, but I would add Yes, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and (yes, I’m serious) Peter, Paul, and Mary.

    Sorry Jung,
    I’m bad enough with trees, but shrubs?
    Thanks for the photos, though.

    OMG Thomas! I haven’t heard that song in many many years, and I’ve heard a lot of versions including Seger, Guthrie, Denver, and others, but never this one by David and I think it’s my favorite of all of them! Thanks!

    Doug – Those are the exact same two that immediately came to my mind! And also Within You Without You would be kinda weird, but I’d sure enjoying hearing how they would do it!
