You probably think Elvis was 'King' of music too? Grin

Everyone knows that American and Australian music is 'girlie' music. Grin

Just look at Peccary - now there's a girlie if ever there was one. Guys in Australian/American music are losers and crap. Tongue

The only King of Music is in Europe. Wink

Nick Cave only became 'cool' when he went to Germany.
When he went Gospel in America - he went crap.

Even Led Zep didn't want to go to America - very uncool. Germany was more their thing Grin

Your posts would improve greatly if you had any idea at all of what you were talking about. If getting it wrong is a skill you have it in spades.

And "Love the one you're with".

Yay!!! I found the topic again (got a little side tracked unfortunately 🥺).

I had no idea THEY were responsible for that song! The cover version/s are all I'm familiar with.

So basically I grew up NOT KNOWING these guys but KNOWING some of their songs because they were re used by others for advertising purposes or as covers.

Thank you all for enlightening me. And thank you David Crosby et al for the

There have been some good documentaries made about Laurel Canyon.

Here's just one:

There are a couple on Netflix, Stan, and Prime too - well worth checking out.

Laurel Canyon gave us some great music and musicians.

Joni Mitchell, David Crosby and Eric Clapton at Cass Elliott's Laurel Canyon home

For those unfamiliar with that famous old photo, Clapton was mesmerised by Mitchell's guitar playing (sure, he was stoned too).

Eric plays guitar in standard tuning, but Joni uses many different non-standard tunings.

Eric was trying to figure out how she was playing such wonderful chords with only one or two fingers.

People who were there that day say he was totally immersed in her playing and watched her for hours.

"While most guitars are kept at standard tuning, strung E-A-D-G-B-E from low to high, Mitchell almost never uses a standard tuning set-up for anything. Instead, her guitar could be tuned to any number of wild intervals that would baffle even the most complex jazz players."

Micky Dolenz shot a lot of video footage that day too, but something happened to his camera or film (can't quite remember the full story) and none of the footage is available today Cry

I'm halfway through that clip. 👆

It's possibly the most amazing YouTube clip I've ever watched because it's going back in time and bringing together so many missing music pieces of a jigsaw puzzle which I never really knew existed.

BBL....I just need to finish watching it.

You've just confirmed how big & ignorant a dickhead you are.

I won't argue with you there.
