Yes, Jeff Healey was an awesome musician. I liked his version of 'While my guitar gently weeps', as well as the original by George Harrison.

On Healey's remake, Harrison both played rhythm guitar and sang backup vocals.

I misspelled Healey's surname in my last post.  :o
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

There's a certain point in music where it can't actually get any worse, and just ends up getting more airtime.

Yep, that is what made it so great. George Harrison did that song with a lot of musicians. Eric Clapton's version is pretty good also.

Loverboy.
I vaguely remember them. The memory seems unfavorable.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Even though Rush has DUmbass (Peart) views, I still like their classic albums.

The continuing snub by the R&R Hall of Fame is really pissing me off. Especially when Run DMC is in the damn thing.  :censored:

I voted other.

I haven't been subjected to any Justin Bieber "music" yet (perhaps when Obama declares Marshall Law :-) , they'll be playing it in the interrogation rooms at the FEMA re-education camps), so I cannot speak as to the torturous nature of it. Yet.

However, I used to like Shania Twain.  When her song I'm Gonna Getcha Good came on the radio last night, and I listened to it for the first time in God only knows how many years, I felt dirty.  Soiled. Like a mindless piece of meat.  I felt like Shania had reached through my radio speakers and sexually harasses me. :puke:

I need to go take a shower now. (again.)

I would take a night with Shania Twain in a heartbeat. She is flipping hot.

Not me.

I married my wife because in addition to being smoking hot, I had finally found a woman I didn't have to censor what I said or thought around her. She doesn't always agree with me, but I always enjoy talking with her about the differences in our point of view.

I couldn't be 5 minutes in a room with Shania Twain without needing a ball gag, or ear muffs.

Jeff Healy was awesome.  His version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is also awesome . . .

Well, when you have George Harrison helping you out on it, yeah, kinda hard to screw it up, but it WAS an excellent version.

And the funny thing is, I can't think of a single truly awful/annoying Aussie band/group, at least ones that have made it here.

Pretty much everything Aussie/Kiwi I've heard since the late 70's/early 80's I've liked--INXS, Men at Work, Silverchair, Jet, Midnight Oil, Chisel/Jimmy Barnes, Crowded House, and of course, AC/DC.

I went to a Chisel concert late last year. That old bastard can still hold his own pretty well.

Yes, the Aussie bands are really good also. They all had a huge staple on music.

You forgot to mention the Bee Gees. They are from Australia and moved to England when they got their record deal.

He also forgot that midnight oil was rampantly anti-American and a bunch of eco-commies.

Their front-man, Peter Garrett is now "Education Minister" or some crap like and a virulent leftist scumbag. He was "Environment Minister" , but every time he opened his doucheflap about the environment, it was immediately followed by one of his feet so he was reassigned and told to shut the hell up.

Silverchair aren't any better. I used to call them "Nirvana in Pyjamas" - and I loathe Nirvana.

The last I heard Peter Garrett was a devout christian.

Edit: I just looked him up and he is a Christian Liberal. That is an oxymoron. You can't be a Liberal and Christian at the same time. The morals don't match.
