More of a behavioral study research project than hanging out :geek:

That would require more interest in the topic than I actually have. All I heard was an angry din that didn't resemble music in any recognizable form, demonstrated zero amount of talent, and featured lyrics an eight-year-old could've written.

It's a familiar argument, of course:

"What an awful song!"

"That's because you didn't understand it."

"What's to understand? It sounded horrible!"

"But you're not in touch with its deeper meaning."

Time to unwind with some fine mellow jazz. GB before he went pop. The piano and guitar work is sublime...

Mostly myself. I bought a new Godin LG with Seymor Duncan pickups and it's now driving through my new Blackstar 30W amp with true Valve emulation and a pod X3 with a live 6 wah-wah.
Fulfilled a kiddie fantasy and walked into a music shop and bought what I wanted. It's quality.

The pod x3 live is a nightmare. It's going to be months until I understand it entirely.
It'll be fun though. Like when movie maker was new and we were learning to edit our home pornos.

Thats David Ruffin leading on My Girl.

He left the Temps in 69 to be replaced by Dennis, who is featured lead on this, one of their many classics.

Really? I didn't know anything about the members of the band, actually, not even the late Dennis Edwards, though My Girl was one of my favourite songs during my youth (a couple of decades after it was released, of course :twisted: )

Doesn't this one just take you straight back to the 70s - big cars, big hair, shades, open shirts, bell-bottoms & platforms. Groovy .
