it's 4:20 long, makes sense :lol:

Not really my cup of tea...when I was in the Army stationed in Texas there was an area of clubs in Killeen. Being the BaseTown it was next to the largest base in the world at the time (Ft Hood) we had a lot of ethnicity, There was the 440 light company that was a disco, and also if I walked in there it would have been like the seen in 48 hours where Eddie Murphy goes in the country bar.

I frequented a club called Double Vision, rock and roll club, in fact I met SRV there once. They had a DJ for when the bands were not playing and every time he played "Boom Boom out Goes the Lights" (Pat Travers version). He asked us to change the title and all sing the line really loud when it came up, but change it to "Disco Sucks" all the time...it was a message to the 440.

In comes SRV one night, he played that song too and everyone right on Que DISCO SUCKS...he thought it was awesome, caught him off guard. I was actually suppose to go back a while later to meet him at the same club to jam but life got in the way. He did after the show show me a new used guitar he had...I have never found a reference to this guitar and him but believe it or not it was a 59 Les Paul Jr. I believe the subject came up because we were talking guitars and I told him of the 72 black tele custom I bought at Ray Hennings Heart o Texas Music, he shopped there too (there were several and I was only an hour from Austin).

There was also the Kasbah, was totally ethnic, mostly people from abroad. There was a Cantina, several country western clubs, a strip club and a really cool laid back place called Animal House. It was really pop music at the time, if it wasnt a GI town it would have been labeled a college bar. For older Texans from that area I also really liked Mother's Earth in Austin, it was in a shopping center :lol:

ftr they were clubs because you had to have a membership card to drink, bars were not allowed in Killeen a dry town...which is super weird being the type of town, but private clubs could serve liquor so we all had wallets full of club cards, cost you a buck a month a piece.

In Harker Heights right next to Killeen it was not dry, liqour stores lined up at the town line, one had a pawn shop too, another was a barn and a drive through liquor store :lol: Also that town had a really awesome rock club called Oasis...or as we called it Oh Wasted :lol:
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

On the notes of "Watermelon in Easter hay"
I say goodbye to another day
Knowing that nothing will bring it back
I place new hopes under the pillow and hit the sack

Surely there must be consensus by now...

It's hard to believe that you live in the city that spawned Skinny Puppy, Numb and Frontline Assembly.

Yeah but it's also the same city where the old black-and-white Littlest Hobo was filmed.

Well, that would explain the band that Don Gordon and cEvin Key were in before they went off to do Numb and Skinny Puppy (respectively). The band was Images in Vogue and it was pretty lame mid-80s New Romantic kinda stuff.

Came across The Beautiful South
Found a song that knocked me out
Heard them singing "Song for whoever"
Reminded me of when i wanted to have her

The Beautiful South - Song For Whoever


It starts slowly, but...

The Beautiful South - Love Is...

I was dreaming of Sherry
Dancing to the music of Black Stone Cherry
When i jumped out of bed
The solo was still bouncing in my head

That drummer looks familiar...I see Animal from The Muppets has still got work.

Sometimes it rolls like a rock
Other times it smacks like a pop
And when it's electronic
Sometimes it sings with the voice of Boytronic

Boytronic - You Can't Get Fooled by Love

I sail over this sea of sounds
Where imagination knows no bounds
And i explore the 23rd underpass
Led by the voice of Nadia Vass

23rd Underpass - Every Time


23rd Underpass - Together Forever

The colorful butterfly flew
Attracted by "So much for love"
Her attention had shifted to Silence 2
Making me wonder what she was thinking of

Silence 2 (feat. Gordon Grody) - So Much For Love
