Never mind tonight's post; I feel you and know you wanna go straight to The Saturday Night Playlist:
Led Zeppelin: "How Many More Times"
The Blue Book says Hendrix, always Hendrix- but "How Many More Times" stands by itself as the anthem to unrequited love.
Jimmy Page's haunting Les Paul seems to shepherd and guide the medley through an emotional landscape of valleys and summits ... but every beat between John Bonham's restless, testosterone-charged tomtoms ("... and she's all mine") through the defiant snare-drum march near the end ("... that's my name") add a confident certainty that make the song what it is.
Man.
Dragon Boat Round-Up:
Years ago I described how Vikings first landed on the shores of Lake Hartwell in the early 1100's and eventually settled The Electric City; today Dragon Boat races were held at the Portman Marina ... sans plundering and pillaging.
Judith, Mike and their friend Jason showed up instead ... and Mike proved again he's The Bagel Man and more by showing us a few tricks about diving, dog-paddling and how a Real Man wears his lifejacket.
And dances.
Mike, you are The Man ... and there might be footage on youtube soon to prove it.
