In Response to Tom Watson, I give you this. I can relate to this video in a big way, as I am a drummer and like Keith Moon, a bit of a loon. ๐ ๐ ๐

Late Night at the PB Pub Special Memorial Edition: Alex Chilton
This is dedicated to the memory of Alex Chilton founding member of “The Box Tops.”
Now personally, I like this version of that song better:
My Alex rest in peace. Prayers for his family this morning.
Great tune, but, I like this one better
Donald Douglas and I are still trading Rock and Roll videos.
Seems he likes Jethro Tull. Crossed-Eyed Mary was, um, bad. Ever read those lyrics? Oh.My.Lordy…. ๐ฏ
Here’s a pre-Aqualung tune, that I happen to like a bit:
Touchy…Touchy…Touchy….
E-mail a guy and get your…ahem, cut off. (ouch!) ๐ฏ
I am referring to Donald Douglas. I e-mailed him, He is, like me, a Hendrix Fan.Which is an awesome thing, Hendrix was awesome player. He also inspired me to learn how to play guitar.
I guess he thought I was angry, which I wasn’t. He has in his sidebar over at America Power, a version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” done on a British TV show; Jimi’s all turned down, his Marshall sounds horrible. I begged Don to change the video. I guess he thought I was angry or something. I was not at all. I was teasing the guy. Guess I should have dropped in a smiley or two. ๐
To respond to his posting:
Actually, I’m quite open to suggestions for music posts. But why Patrick’s “shock” at seeing a Hendrix video in the sidebar? It’s no big deal. The dude obviously should spend some time visiting AmPow before going off!
1. I was not going off, 2. I do come over there, when I see link from Memeorandum. I don’t have time to read everyone else’s blog. I’m usually too busy running my own. Sorry. ๐
I’ve been around the rock-and-roll block a few times, eh?
Which is another way of saying, “I’m old…” ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Not only that, I can’t stand paleocons, actually. So, advance demerits for that.
Um, I guess I’ll have to clear that one up too. ๐ I am not, any longer, calling myself a Paleo-Con or Paleo-Pat. Why? It become quite apparent to me that the whole Paleo-Con/Neo-Con thing is really about a bunch of sour pusses, who really just resented former Democrats coming over to the Conservative, not to mention monolithic hatred of Jews and other Minorities.ย While I have mad respect for the Paleo-Cons/Libertarians on fiscal issues; the good majority of which are just not grounded in reality. The Paleo-Cons and libertarians or Ron Paul people, if you wanna call them that; want to live in a Utopian society. Some of them a Non-Jewish, all white society. Having said all that, Yes, I disagree with Bush’s Wilsonian foreign policy. Something that is, admittedly, progressive in nature; as Glenn Beck rightly points out on his show. But, unlike the Paleo-Con’s and libertarians, I do believe that the war on terror is quite the reality. However, I highly dislike the idea of nation building. But I am not overly ideological about it.ย I believe pragmatism goes a long way in dealing with the issues of the World, than does being a stubborn ideologue. That’s the whole problem of the Paleo-Con and libertarian crowd. They’re just too damn rooted in a isolationist and protectionist ideology. So, to Donald, Richard Spencer I am not! ๐
That said, Patrick whines a lot about not getting FMJA links, so I’ll toss him a bone. Nice videos as well, although I quite dig that one at the sidebar — obviously an early rendition of “Purple Haze,” raw in its styling and percussion.
Whines Alot?!?! Why I oughta… ๐ ๐ ๐
Worry about your own blog circling the drain, buddy.
Ha! ๐ ๐ ๐ Lemmie tell you something there Neo-Con boy! When you get off that suck-ass Blogger, which is, by the way, owned by the very liberal GOOGLE ( ๐ฎ ) and could shut you down at any moment’s notice, like they did Hillary people and some Conservatives, for criticizing “The One”; and get you some real hosting and a WordPress Blog —- then you can criticize me and my blog.ย ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Otherwise, put a sock in it Podhartz lackey! ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Guess I told him… Harrumph… ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ

One of my favorite jams… This is Liberation:
Um, Like, Wow
This comes via TheBlogProf:
I normally have an aversion to white people trying to rap. But this isn’t half bad; especially the stuff about Iraq.
Late Night at the PB Pub Presents Bruce Springsteen
This is in memory of Jon Swift AKA Al Weisel. God Speed to him. ๐
Late Night at Political Byline Presents Steve Camp
I could write a thousand word blog entry here. But instead; I will just say thank you Jesus for 26 years of my Salvation in Christ. Admittedly, I do have issues with many things in the “Church World”. But I’d never trade my salvation for anything.
This song says it all:
and finally
A song that I happen to like quite a bit. It has been said that music often tells a story. Paints a picture, if you will. That being said, here is a story or picture, from a very unique perspective.
This is Resurrection Band
Lincoln’s Train
By
Resurrection Band
Passin’ through these ruins
Mr Lincoln’s train goin’ by
Spilling smoke into these bloody fields
All the people stood and cried
Our tears are the same color
We can all hold hands and mourn
But me, I’m still asking myself
Why I’m not any freer than I was before
Mr Lincoln are you free now?
Was it worth what it finally cost?
If I had somethin to believe in
I could bear this endless cross
I got no home, they sold my family
I got no job, ain’t got no vote
Them books they’re all mysteries to me
Can’t read or write, I got no hope
The train it just keeps rollin’
Cold as steel and dark as night
It don’t give me no answers, no
No, it don’t pay me no mind
And the scenery just keeps changin’
But these folks, they just stay the same
Same old fearful eyes a starin’
Askin’ me to take the blame
For their shame, for their shame
Late Night at the PB Pub Presents – Def Leppard
Their first hit from the first album. When they were an actual rock band, and not the freak show that they became.
All original members on this one.
