No idea on the latest post. Sounds vaguely familiar.
But, Wasway, no good band efforts since DD?
Check out "Ocean of Tears" or "Nice and Strong" from The Paul DeLay Band.
Not new, by any stretch, but much newer than DD and both solid "band" efforts.
Point is--- music no longer comes looking for YOU, you have to go looking for IT.
Lots of great stuff out there right now but most of it is not mainstream.
Actually WS I mis spoke.. Rio was the last Record Album that I bought.. started buying CDs .. But
There have been a few bands that I liked Post DD but not many Matchbox 20 comes to mind.. for one.. Pearl Jam and Phish as well...then of course Lou Gramm went Solo in he late 80's and even did a sound track for "the Lost Boys" which included "Lost in the Shadows" which was pretty good

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, go on and live.

Sounds like "Tell It Like It Is" by Aaron Neville. Good tune.

But there's booze in the blender,
And soon it will render,
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Maybe the title will come to you as you enjoy your evening!

I've never been fond of margaritas. I wonder if Jimmy Buffet ever did "Wasting Away in Martiniville"?
How about this (should be easy):
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang;
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang!"

Sure sounds familiar. Will have to ponder on it a while.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Seems I remember this from Elvis and The Blues Brothers - Jailhouse Rock

Thanks, George.
And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
And she said, 'Do what you want to do'

Yeppers, GSG. That song always cracks me up. Heard him sing it in his show in Branson, MO a few years back. Whole show was a hoot.
You're up.

Here's one my dad was fond of:
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been

Pretty cool Dad, George!!
Billy Joel's Uptown Girl
Here is one from the last good band to ever make a record (IMNSHO)
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Contrary to popular belief,
THIS is my favourite song Duran Duran ever made.
(I find it more sing-able than "Hungry Like the Wolf".)
This is "RIO."
"Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand,
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can.
Oh, Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land,
From mountains in the North down to the Rio Grande."
(Radio stations used to cut that off ALL THE TIME.)

Next song.
"One must hide when the sun gets higher.
I don't know what this mad-ness means."
