is a Trashmen lyric
ha ha, i can't believe this terrible poster got so many comments.
steve miller still sucks though.
bob segers early stuff kicks ass. find his early singles like, 'chain-smokin' or 'florida time'. great stuff. the stuff from 'night moves' on puts me to sleep.
And my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Friday night I got tears in my eyes
Y'know you got to go thru hell before you get to heaven...
When I was stationed in Hawaii ,someone sent me a sheet of blotter with book of dreams for the art work, goodtimes. It ruined my Edvard Munch book though, stained it
Bob Seger as with Steve Miller you're either in or you're out, now fence sitters we've learned this much atleast.
I love 'em both I grew up on classic rock(I'm 23), I made a pitch to do a poster for Donovan when he came through Seattle recently but no dice.
For the record, I love Bob Seger. I used to loathe him too, but the day I turned 30 suddenly I started to relate and it's been joyful rediscovery ever since. I don't just mean, "the Silver Bullet Band sucks but dude, those first two albums with the Bob Seger System kick ass- Ramblin' Gamblin' Man!" I mean, I'm into Kathmandu, Night Moves, Strut, RnR Never Forgets... And when Running Against The Wind comes on in my car, all conversation must cease.
But I still loathe Steve Miller.
Miller emerged form the University of Wisconsin frat party circuit...in the early 60's my dad & buddies would hire him and Boz Scaggs to play spring break keg parties on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale for beer & gas money...Miller heads to Chicago and learns "the Blues" in the bars on the SouthSide... Paul Pena the blind guy featured in Ghengis Blues wrote Miller's breakthrogh hit "Jet Airliner" and it's been gravy ever since...
all you whiner "indie" rock guys are hating on his multi-platinum crowd pleasing 70's shtick... He's now living in the Puget sound, and he's as Seattle sound as Cobain, but longer lasting and twice as powerful !!
Lighten UP ! It's all about the Abracadabra baby !
i can't stand any steve miller record. they all suck out loud. i'm no clapton fan, but give the guy a break, fercrissakes. pushed his baby out the window? that's a little too over the top, even for an asshole like me.
It's a catchy tune, this thread is really interesting. I don't have a problem with people not liking Steve Miller, peeps opinions are there own I just never thought he would be the kind of guy people would "loathe" it just sounds strange. . . . .
Never been a huge Clapton fan, although I think he's a good songwriter and guitar player. Steve Miller can't do either. Miller's regarded by many as a guitar hero, and I have yet to hear an impressive piece of playing.
Saw Clapton live in the early 80s. He didn't play a single solo. WTF? He did bring Muddy Waters up on stage for one song. His stuff w/ Yardbirds and Cream was cool, though. After that, he made no progress. And the Cream live reunion cd sounds really good.
Miles Davis hated white people. He came from a rich family and tried SO hard to be "street" all the time.
Jackson Browne is the king of mediocrity. I love AM Gold and can't stand a single song by the guy.
Clapton? There's not enough room here to get into that guy, though I like some of his '70s country stuff.
I've heard them; they failed to soften my heart toward Mr. Miller. People say the same thing about shit merchant and convicted wife-beater Jackson Browne... Dude, he used to play with Nico!
Miles Davis was too kind when he called Steve Miller a "no-playin' motherfucker."
But at lesat he didn't push his baby out a window so he could have another hit, like Clapton.
"Take the Money and Run" is the same song as "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Werewolves of London". Try it. My old band used to have rednecks yelling out for us to play Skynyrd, & we'd piss 'em off by starting it, but morphing it into Sweet Werewolves of Alabama.
