Certainly..."Surrealistic Pillow"...Jefferson Airplane....

I have a great story related to Jefferson Airplane. A number of years ago there was a concert in New Haven that had the Airplane and Chuck Berry on the bill. The Airplane was on before Chuck and I was there with a bunch of my friends who were there for Airplane (I was there to heare Chuck). The concert was held in a hockey arena with the tunnel all around the rink. While the Airplane was on I went for a walk around the tunnel and came across a door with a very large black man standing in it. I asked him, "Is Mr Berry in there?" He answered Yes. I said, "I would love to meet him and tell him how much I love his music." The guy in the door said, "Well come on in." and he stepped aside to let me pass. I walked in and there were some chairs and a sofa and Chuck Berry and some of his band were sitting around having some beers.

I approached Chuck and told how much I loved his music and thanked him for his contribution to rock and roll. He said thanks, gave a beer, and said "Sit awhile and lets get to know each other." I sat there for about 15 minutes talking with the GOD of rock and roll like he was just another guy drinking a beer with him. Then I went back to my seat and told my friends what had happened. To this day those guys don't believe me but it is absolutely true.

Chuck Berry came on and was awesome. He played Roll Over Beatoven and some youngster about three rows back said very loudly, "Hey why is that black guy playing that Beatles song?" My friends and I all told him he had that a little wrong and had a good laugh.

There are a lot of threads about songs for this and that (i.e. your favorite song to week to while eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's, etc.). But we rarely address whole albums anymore. I remember back before Ipods, I would put a CD in my stereo, put my headphones on and listen to an album all the way through. Find those little gem songs that the artists put in, but never get any radio play. Sometimes the album is conceptual and each song adds to a greater work of art. The fact is, that with randomizers, play lists and buying songs one song at a time, we miss the whole work, which is often greater than the sum of its parts.

60's - Abby Road - Beatles

70's - Animals - Pink Floyd

80's - Calm Animals - The Fixx

90's - 99.9f - Susan Vega

00's - Them Crooked Vultures

I love Quantum by planet X. Every track is amazingly intricate and beautiful, I can listen to it and relate no matter what mood I am in. Top tier musicianship and complex composition with no sacrifice to emotion.

[The drummer doesn't want to make a new album because they don't make any money, so please go check them out. You'll do the world a favor if you help persuade them.]

Tied for second are Octavarium by Dream Theater and Meddle by Floyd.

My favorite albums would fill a room - they did, I had over 5000 albums before I had to sell them all.

So many different groups that I loved and no one else ever heard of.

Here are a few that are very special for very different reasons.

Don Ellis - Soaring (a rare non-electronic album by this amazing big band)

Jeff Sturges and Universe - Self titled - Rock for big band - with songs like Mountain's Mississippi Queen

Michael Nesmith - Infinite Rider On The Big Dogma - featured in Elephant Parts - the first made for video collection.

PDQ Bach - An Historic Return - featuring Professor Peter Shickle's Unbegun Symphony

Love ya,

Sally

As far as albums that I could listen to the whole way through without stopping, I'd have to include Joanna Newsom's "Ys" and Belle and Sebastian's "If You're Feeling Sinister" (really most of B&S's releases deserve to be listened to in one sitting), though I'm sure I could think of a lot more.

I also agree that it's important to experience an album the way the musicians had intended it - that's also part of why I'm so anti-piracy and pro-actual album buying. With mp3s you lose the CD/case design, artwork, linear notes, etc.

I totally miss the 33 1/3 albums....The covers could be read and you could look at the artwork and liner notes!

No such thing anymore

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.
