Displaying 121 To 150 Of 7,446 Comments The Weekend Music Thread-Anything Goes There was KT. We could go to concerts all over the bay area as teens and no one bothered us, it was a laid back feeling. I got to see a lot of groups that would not even be possible now with the cost of tickets. Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Sly, Ten Years After, Doobie Brothers, CSNY, Jessie Colin Young, The Youngbloods, The Kinks, The Zombies, the Youngbloods, the Chambers Brothers, the list could go on and on. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 6:07 pm Oh my word, Nirek, what a friendly face from the past. I always had a soft spot for him because I thought that limp was real. What did I know? I was maybe 11 or so? He just always represented the nice grandpa, maybe because I did not have one? » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 5:34 pm She performed It’s only Rock n Roll with him at Live Aid not sure if the removal of the skirt was planned or if she, being the stellar performer she is, went on with the show. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 1:20 pm » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 1:07 pm » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 12:48 pm Michelle Chamuel and OneRepublic: “Counting Stars” – The Voice » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 12:46 pm Nirek The two of us spent many weekends sneaking over to SF and the east bay to attend concerts. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 12:41 pm I really like the upbeat sound of Irish music. I also like step danicng. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 12:38 pm My favorite song of all time. Mike Shrieve was 20 years old when he did this drum solo drum at Woodstock and Santana was coming down from a psychedelic trip. I also saw them perform this at Contra Costa College in the Spring of 1968. It was a time when our parents did not know that we were spending our weekends in SF or the east bay seeing all of the local grown bands play, sometimes for a can of food as an entrance fee. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 12:01 pm I actually ran in to someone who was born in Ohio and had never heard this song. She is totally hip now but when I posted this yesterday she said she had never heard it. It is amazing to see different interpretations of this song. To me, this Canadian band was calling us on our penchant for war instead of taking care of business at home.

Shakira feat Dizzee Rascal Supernatural – Santana » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 11:47 am I knew I liked Usher and Shakira for a good reason, Stevie Wonder is a given. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 11:39 am I so admire Tina Turner. She took a bad situation and turned it around and herself in to one of the most loved and respected artists in the world. She truly is the example that there is life and happiness and music after domestic violence. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 11:26 am These all make me smile: The New Christy Minstrels The Alan Price Set Ottmar Liebert Na Lao Pilimehana The Beatles » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 11:23 am Unsteady about Hillary: Columbia, SC 2007; and today? How ready are you? NotAFanofArianna No problem, I was pretty sure you did not mean all Americans. Had I thought that, I might have not been so nice 🙂 I remember you from HP days too although I have not been there in a long while. Wonderful to see you here, as well as many others I recognize from those days. We all generalize, at times, I am certainly no angel in that department. We can agree on the Neocons but I would add the religious right to the mix as well. Looking forward to your posts and having meaningful conversations with you here. 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 11:58 am I believe the CEO of Walgreens made that statement recently. Trying to justify his move of their HQ to Europe and renouncing, in effect, their citizenship. » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 11:38 am Especially moderation, No Man, we are all adults. The internet trolls have messed up a great deal of what was once intriguing dialogue. Notafanof Arianna – I was not speaking of you, just want to make that very clear, I was talking about moderation of internet comments. » Posted By SueInCa On July 13, 2014 @ 10:20 am Glenn » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 12:13 pm Exactly Murph. In fact if they thought this was really going to be helpful for the American job market, they would have been making plans in the open, transparent for all to see. » Posted By SueInCa On July 12, 2014 @ 12:04 pm ExfanofArianna Hi and welcome from me to the Planet. I have been away for awhile. I read your post and agree with most of it but you are lumping all Americans in to one pot(at least that is how it sounds – it could be your way of speaking) For instance – Americans did not export fast food around the world, the CEO’s of those companies did, just as they exported our jobs to take advantage of cheaper labor in other countries. I might add if the leaders of those countries had not helped, perhaps we would not be in this mess. It takes two to tango and the other countries around the world did, indeed, tango with America. It is the regular people who had no say. I do agree there are a lot of Americans who are oblivious but there are also those of us who are actively trying to change things. Like I said, I am sure you did not mean to lump us all in a bad light. I just wanted to voice my opinion of how very different Americans can act and think. » Posted By SueInCa On July 11, 2014 @ 7:04 pm Coalition Of Church And State: Destroyed From Within. Adlib Thanks. The entire time I was reading this novel, I was thinking about how I could change it in to a post for PP. Once I started writing, it just happened. Things that worry me are the infiltration into the military. I read an article, may have posted it here on OT, about a soldier who fought in Iraq and he dealt with everything he did and that happened, with religious terms. It was a bit scary to read and know that we have many more soldiers out there doing the same thing. When you get religious fanatics, you never know what the outcome is going to be and I hope you are right that Americans would rise up. I hope you are right but with the great numbers of people who are distracted, illiterate, uninformed, it makes me nervous. Take the NRA ammosexuals who are still planning their march through one of Houston’s black communities, armed and dangerous. They are trying to spark a riot or a plain old fashioned gun battle. This kind of stuff bothers me no end. Quite frankly, minorities in this country have been very patient and we have not had another Watts Riot, or a burning of Detroit, but everyone has their limits. All of this hate and prejudice is building to something and when it hits, it will not be pretty. Fanatics always think they have more cover than they really do and a spark can become a flame before you know it even without the cover they think they have. We laugh at nutballs like Santelli down at the Border but what if they did set something off with Mexico’s border patrol? They are itching to hurt someone and I don’t think they care who or where. Back to the dominionists, I just hope, if something happens, I am online with Planet POV and my friends here from my laptop in The Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Panama or some other tropical country. That will mean I prepared and was able to leave. And Of course, I would try to prepare others as well. The book was really good. It would be a good book to take on a business trip or vacation. » Posted By SueInCa On July 16, 2014 @ 3:58 pm I don’t know how most of these people do what they do all week, then show up in the pews on Sunday. They have got to know by now that Bush signed this in to law, do any criticize him for it? I feel for you, living in that environment. » Posted By SueInCa On July 16, 2014 @ 11:45 am Thanks CL, as always you reinforce, from extremely close contact, the serious nature of this problem. I think you will enjoy the book, it is a fast read but knowing what you and I know, kind of a horror story. Hope you are doing well, slow down when you can Lady. 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On July 15, 2014 @ 10:30 am It seems that there is nothing but strife everywhere these days. I would say I need to disconnect from it all but I cannot be irresponsible in that way. I had a tough time with irresponsible and remembering that is the right term…..getting old 🙂 » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 7:50 pm No Monica I was asking you questions about your work with the religious right and what offended me was this statement: “No Sue, I was talking people who belong to organizations that are a part of the Religious Right. You write as though you think the religious right is a building or something.” After all the research and articles I have written both here and another site, that was insulting. I am sorry if you cannot see that but having 7 years of your work summed up as you did mine, was insulting. » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 7:38 pm Monica If you are going to insult me, this conversation is over. » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 5:03 pm When you refer to coalitions, if you are referring to California Council of Churches, it is many faiths working together, respecting each others’ religious affiliation. Just want to make that clear. » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 5:02 pm Wow Murph. That church sure spent a long time on that bulletin and consequently I would ask, wouldn’t their time be better spent helping the community instead of passing on talking points and finding bible verses to fit their talking points? I just shake my head at people like that, their priorities seem somewhat shaky to me. MO does have a Dem governor but I imagine his hands are tied similar to the Presidents hands. I notice he vetoed that abortion wait time bill last week, or was it ultrasound? It is hard to keep up with all the ways these men and women are trying to take away women’s rights. I am not sure how welfare is a threat to faith. If people do not have money, aren’t they more likely to walk in to a church for their “entertainment” or to seek help from God, out of their problems? I truly do not know how you survive in Republicanland but I have to hand it to you, I know I never could. I have your email address from long ago, I will send you a test so that we can deal with the daily kos thing off of PP. » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 4:48 pm I see, so you were talking people in general and not the religious right which is what my article was about. I get it now. I wondered how you were able to get intractable people to bend, now I see you were not referring to the Religious right. » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 4:38 pm Monica I think everyone would like to work with the religious right but they are not generally open to it. I worked on a project with the CA Council Of Churches and not one evangelical church of that type chose to work with the project to open lines of communication between all. Perhaps you have a secret that we did not and I would sincerely like to hear of right wing religious groups you have worked with to effect open dialogue on both sides. How did the compromise come about? Did you have long term success? What sort of projects have you been able to collaborate on? Generally, the people I am referring to have an almost fanatical belief that they are going to end public education, they are going to rule in the House of Representatives and they will enter the White House again and their comments do not give me much hope that they are going to welcome liberal/secular input. You may know different but after 7 years of researching them, I do not see where a liberal agenda fits in their world view. » Posted By SueInCa On July 14, 2014 @ 10:56 amComments Posted By SueInCa
I was in 10th grade. Had we lived close in New York, I had the perfect friend who would have sneaked off with me to attend. I would have been spending the weekend at her house and she at mine.

“but not just any ole woman will do” is the big mistake John McCain made. He thought by naming a woman, he could fool us. We are not that easily fooled.
