Joni Mitchell, "Pave Paradise, Put up a Parking Lot...

[amicus]

...listening to channel 6033 on Dish Network, "The Bridge" Classic Hits, and couldn't help but smile and remember an era gone by.

There was such a huge amount of really wonderful music during that era, that I listen and often wonder where I was and what I was doing at that time.

"Big Yellow Taxi" was just one...would you care to add some others?

Ever notice how the Usual Suspects parasitize arts and morph national treasure into rotted brown goo using tax dollars to do it?

Ah; the great Crosby Stills & Nash, fresh from Buffalo Springfield.
Magic Music.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, was it not? At least for a while...special music indeed as was the big band era and the smooth jazz that followed that.

We are all generational in our musical preferences I suppose, but there are some modern artists that excel, but they seem so few and far apart...

Yes, very magic music.

How about some Grace Slick? "Pretty as you feel" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r8BaKwyNQ0

That is BP who is doing that.

Amicus, how can you like "Big Yellow Taxi"? It's basically one big ad for tree-hugging, anti-capitalist sentiment. I know you don't appreciate anything ironically!

"Ohio" - CSN&Y; "Imagine" - John Lennon; "Somethin' happenin' here" - Buffalo Springfield (Stephen Stills); "Come Together" - The Beatles; none of which you would know anything about......it was wonderful music but you missed the message..............pity for you................

Wow, Thanks for the link Amicus.

I like Joni Mitchell, and "Yellow Taxi" is one of my favorites.

And Running Jib, the Grace Slick link had me goin' for hours, it seems. I don't listen to her much, but miss her "mystery in modern music.

All the Artists mentioned made contributions to the art form as well as to the social consciousness, of their times. Although I am partial to acoustic music, the old time psychedelics, are addicting.

And I was talking about the music.

Ah, JamesSD, add Carley Simon, Carol King, Judy Collins and hundreds more as I was a disk jockey during the time and although I concentrated on Jazz, I soon learned that even Jazz artists were covering the 'tree huggers' and folk singers songs.

It might be a deeper question than you expect, in that the artist is always on the fringe of society, pushing the envelope and when they do it well, it is magnificent to behold, if only from afar.

I interviewed Joan Baez, in Honolulu, a thousand years ago it seems, but I was young and into politics and wasn't wise enough to draw her out on her music and Dylan's, at the time and I regret that.

I was told, several times, from the selections I played on the radio, that I had a musicians soul and have always wished I possessed the talent to express my passions through music instead of the written word. But then, we should be thankful for what we have and not regret that which we do not, eh?

Sorry, JamesSD, but if you have to ask, you missed it.
