This is a cool thread, and I really don't contribute to it as much as I should.
I remember, or get prompted in some way, something that deserves a post in this slot, then I end up getting sidetracked with work or something and next thing you know you missed that day.
Point?, well, I was going to post this yesterday...and got sidetracked. So, this is a day late, but well worth remembering.
I've been on a T. Rex kick lately, and today I listened to A Beard Of Stars, T. Rex and Tanx. While listening, I found out that Tanx was released March 16, 1973. Fifty years ago today. 😎
Well spotted!...Where did all that time go?...It went so quickly, or so it seems.
I'm a massive T-Rex fan and bought most of the 70's albums and singles.
Tanx is a favourite, along with Electric Warrior and The Slider.
...and, Solid Gold Easy Action, could well be my favourite T-Rex single. I remember buying it from my local Woolworths record-bar on release, as if it were yesterday. I asked the girl serving behind the counter to play it on their in-store sound system, which she did, with a big smile on her face, and I walked out like I was 10 feet tall..😜😎
As Marc Bolan said, "One day we change from children into people."😉
I miss those record store days. They were good times. The manager at one store would even front me the album, and I could settle with him on payday. Definitely some good times. 😎
Dec 3rd - Yet another day in which a part of the world ended for me. Par for the course of letting go - I really don't like that part of prescription dharma, so I relocating that dharma also... yet another part of letting go....Catch 22!....such is the BS of this world...Ah going further and further beyond my its own (BS) time...Par for the course of letting go. Am I rhyuming yet? Are these good song lyrics? Shit, here come the tentacles to drag me back in....LOL
Today is the anniversary of the so-called "Max Headroom Incident." YouTube's algorithms sent me this documentary around this time last year. Even if you're familiar with the story, this is still worth watching for the well-made infotainment . . .
