As much fun as it would be to track the 50 times you're going to mention me this series, I'm going to add you to ignore instead. Sorry man, but I just don't feel this strongly about you. It's not you, it's me.

The Mariners announcers are mentioning how Papelbon stays more closed to the hitter and is hiding the ball better this year. I hadn't noticed it before but they have a good point.

 

Will be interesting next offseason, I would keep Pap/Papi combo.

Isn't it just 2?

 

you're right, 2.

I didn't know you even knew what music was. This is the first post that you've ever mentioned anything about music (Other than the lyrics for dirty water). You even made posts in the "What song are you listening to" thread and posted nothing about music.

Song Review

by Richie Unterberger

With their 1967 debut single "A Whiter Shade of Pale," Procol Harum managed a remarkable feat attempted, but unattained, by many many rock groups: creating a classic and huge-selling record that genuinely did not sound like any previous rock recording. It also become something the band themselves couldn't hope to live up to in their ensuing career, although as it turns out they did quite nicely. "A Whiter Shade of Pale" married classical and rock music, and was a key building block of progressive rock, even though it was very much a psychedelic keystone as well. The principal hook of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" -- which, after all, was a huge pop hit, hitting #1 in the UK and #5 in the US -- is its cathedral-toned organ riff, loosely based on Bach's Air on a G String. The vocal verses are yet more loosely based on that melody, though the lyrics are extremely obscure for a pop song. Obviously influenced by the free-association imagery of Bob Dylan, it did not necessarily but could have been impressions of a drug experience, and not a particularly good one, despite the soothing melody. The most famous line of the song, other than the title, is probably the one about 16 vestal virgins leaving for the coast (for California?); not that it's particularly connected to other lines of the song, it's just a nice image. Gary Brooker sings like a psychedelic Ray Charles, and really wrenches into the depths of his bellow when the tempo briefly stutters before the line "and so it was," accompanied by a similarly wrenching swirl of the organ. "A Whiter Shade of Pale" has been covered many times, despite its idiosyncrasy, by such varied artists as Michael Bolton, the Box Tops, Joe Cocker, King Curtis, Annie Lennox, Ringo Starr, and Willie Nelson.

I'm not an expert, and according to my daughter, I only listen to old fart music like Springsteen. She has made me reluctant to discuss music with anyone under 50.

Oh yeah, Spud, iortiz is a music geek just like us.

Springsteen is good stuff unless you listen to that stuff from like Born In The USA.

 

And, I won't lie, I've been searching for one sign of music taste from you over the last year and a half.

I have eclectic taste. I will participate more in the future. My ringtone is Shipping up to Boston.

Tied with Born To Run as my top two for Springsteen. Unless you mean the State of Nebraska, that sucks.

Most of the people who post about their music are people who listen to "old farty" music anyways.

I only crossed over the state line once when I was on a road trip and really had to pee. Same goes for Canada.

[Emmz]

The only real difference between Canada and Nebraska is the size, population and accents. Otherwise they both have what I assume to be the same accumulative amount of corn, boringness, and no-one-really-gives-a-s***-about-us-ness. Jk to all you Canadians, or Nebraskans.

Have you seen the filmed concert where Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello and k.d. Lang among others back up and accompany Roy Orbison?

Can't say I have, but being that all of those names are good, it must be worth watching. Especially with Roy Orbison, one of my favorites.

Do so, or I might have to look it up, I'm sure it's floating around over the web somewhere, its too bad most videos on the internet really suck ass in quality.

Well, I like that song among a lot other (even I'm not American)... Actually there's an anecdote that tells that Ronald Reigan used that song in his campaign or something and he didn't realized that this song was more like a protest song than a good talking song about America hehehe... but sure, Bruce Springsteen is awesome, he is really authentic.

[Emmz]

Glory Days is one of the worst songs ever performed by a legendary artist.

[iortiz]

BTW A700 neither Brooker nor Reid didn't know what they were talking about in that song, they were so damn drugged to know it, so... Don't worry about it hehehe

I'm pretty sure a couple Republican candidates have attempted to use it as a campaign song but Springstein warned them to stop or face legal action.
