. . . thought I would post this as a comment rather that a reply . . . . . . this is PMs 'after the fact' of my being 'ousted' by (one of the group) moderator I referred to below Her : "This is not verbatim from my post, but your comment was off-topic, unnecessar​y, critical and rude. The friendly exchange of ideas and opinions on different topics is appreciated." Me : ""I try hard not to offend; I try harder not to be offended." -- Navy SEAL veteran and congressma​n Dan Crenshaw. Since when is Critical Thinking off-topic on this non-believer website ? CT is different from criticism. Is there an objective criteria for this group for 'friendly' and 'rude', or is it arbitrary ? Since any individual​ can block another, why resort to group removal without warning ? Does that abide by website guidelines ? " Her : "Oh, did I fail to mention the argumentat​ive nature of your post? " Me : "It is hard not to notice your use of the pejorative​. Critical thinkers are open and receptive to all ideas and arguments, even those with which they may disagree." Her : "Some people enjoy arguement and criticism of others, and I am not one" Me : "If someone criticises a source, that NEED NOT be taken personally. How do you imagine CT happening without 'argument' (in the ameliorative sense) ? IMO, the alternative is censorship (despite what 'lipstick' might be put-on it). CT is not (personal) criticism."

FearlessFly comments on Jul 28, 2020:

Because of its sexually suggestive lyrics, considered risqué for the day, the song was banned by the BBC. "Go All the Way" has been featured in three movies. Director Cameron Crowe, a Raspberries fan, used the song in his 2000 film Almost Famous. The Killers recorded another version for the 2012 film Dark Shadows, an adaptation of the 1966–1971 TV series Dark Shadows. The song briefly appears in the 2014 Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy.

The song, like the entire Memorial Beach album, was recorded at Prince's Paisely Park studios. There are two versions of the music video; the first version was banned due to disturbing scenes, including Morten Harket's face ripping through the skin of his abdomen. The second version features more scenes of the band. Overall, the video shows people in various forms of bondage and reflects the dark time A-ha was going through at the time. This was also the last A-ha single to be released in the United States.

FearlessFly comments on Jul 27, 2020:

When Robert John "Mutt" Lange originally brought the song to the band's attention, it was a country ballad, which the band thought sounded like nothing they had done before. The band then added power rock elements and emotive backing vocals similar to those used in R&B ballads at the time. The title "Love Bites" was originally used for a very different song that was eventually re-titled "I Wanna Be Your Hero", and which appeared as a Hysteria B-side and later on the album Retro Active.

It is from the film Picnic, starring William Holden and Kim Novak. The 1955 piece, "Theme from Picnic", was written by George Duning. (Steve Allen set lyrics to the tune, and is credited on vocal versions of the song as a co-author, but not on the hit instrumental versions by Stoloff and others.)

FearlessFly comments on Jul 26, 2020:

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, recording on "Jumpin' Jack Flash" began during the Beggars Banquet sessions of 1968. Regarding the song's distinctive sound, guitarist Richards has said: I used a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic tuned to open D, six string. Open D or open E, which is the same thing – same intervals – but it would be slackened down some for D. Then there was a capo on it, to get that really tight sound. And there was another guitar over the top of that, but tuned to Nashville tuning. I learned that from somebody in George Jones' band in San Antonio in 1964. The high-strung guitar was an acoustic, too. Both acoustics were put through a Philips cassette recorder. Just jam the mic right in the guitar and play it back through an extension speaker. Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while staying at Richards' country house, when they were awoken one morning by the clumping footsteps of his gardener Jack Dyer walking past the window. Surprised, Jagger asked what it was and Richards responded: "Oh, that's Jack – that's jumpin' Jack." The lyrics evolved from there.

FearlessFly comments on Jul 26, 2020:

In the liner notes to the 1993 Rolling Stones compilation album Jump Back, Jagger states, "I remember we sat around originally doing this with Gram Parsons, and I think his version came out slightly before ours. Everyone always says this was written about Marianne but I don't think it was; that was all well over by then. But I was definitely very inside this piece emotionally." Richards says, "If there is a classic way of Mick and me working together this is it. I had the riff and chorus line, Mick got stuck into the verses. Just like "Satisfaction", "Wild Horses" was about the usual thing of not wanting to be on the road, being a million miles from where you want to be."

Christine McVie composed the song using a portable Hohner electric piano in a small apartment in Malibu, California, where she and then-husband John McVie (Fleetwood Mac's bassist) resided after completing a concert tour to promote the previous album, Heroes Are Hard to Find. The original rhythm track consisted of just vocals, drums and a Dobro. Other instruments were later added to embellish the song, including McVie's Vox Continental organ. Billboard described McVie's vocal performance as "a completely distinctive voice, with a sexy huskiness that is unique in pop today." Mick Fleetwood – drums, bongos, shaker John McVie – bass guitar Christine McVie – Vox Continental organ, electric piano, lead vocals Lindsey Buckingham – electric and acoustic guitars, backing vocals Stevie Nicks – backing vocals

Obviously, when you are on the road, you are writing about being on the road, you're writing about what's going on."

"Oh Well" is a song first recorded by Fleetwood Mac in 1969, composed by vocalist and lead guitarist Peter Green. It first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1969 and subsequently appeared on revised versions of that year's Then Play On album and the Greatest Hits album in 1971. "Oh Well, Part 1" has been viewed by some critics as one of the early crossovers between blues rock and heavy metal, along with songs by others such as Led Zeppelin. Indeed, John Paul Jones drew inspiration from "Oh Well, Part 1" when composing the riff to "Black Dog". John Brackett, a former professor from the University of Utah, notes that both songs employ "call and response vocals and a syncopated ascending chromatic motif that finishes with a long sustained note". Although recorded on a multitrack recorder, the song is not available in true stereo.

Another tribute to Peter Green.

FearlessFly comments on Jul 25, 2020:

"The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" is a song written by Peter Green and recorded by Fleetwood Mac. The song was written during Green's final months with the band, at a time when he was struggling with LSD and had withdrawn from other members of the band. While there are several theories about the meaning of the title "Green Manalishi", Green has always maintained that the song is about money, as represented by the devil. Green was reportedly angered by the other band members' refusal to share their financial gains. Green has explained that he wrote the song after experiencing a drug-induced dream in which he was visited by a green dog which barked at him. He understood that the dog represented money. "It scared me because I knew the dog had been dead a long time. It was a stray and I was looking after it. But I was dead and had to fight to get back into my body, which I eventually did. When I woke up, the room was really black and I found myself writing the song."

Hawkins had originally intended to record "I Put a Spell on You" as "a refined love song, a blues ballad". However, the producer (Arnold Maxin) "brought in ribs and chicken and got everybody drunk, and we came out with this weird version ... I don't even remember making the record. Before, I was just a normal blues singer. I was just Jay Hawkins. It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death."

(from rollingstone.com) The song was the starting point for the Pretenders’ new album, Hate for Sale, which comes out Friday. Guitarist James Walbourne came up with the title, shared it with Hynde and they worked out the music together for that song and the rest of the LP’s nine other tracks. They’ve teased the record previously with the songs “The Buzz” and “Hate for Sale.” “I wanted to write with [Walbourne] since day one,” Hynde said in a statement. “James is especially sought after and has recorded with Jerry Lee Lewis, Dave Gahan and the Rails, to name but a few. We always planned on writing while on the road, but as anyone in a band will tell you, being on tour is a procrastinator’s dream come true.”

FearlessFly comments on Jul 23, 2020:

"Lay Lady Lay" was originally written for the soundtrack of the movie Midnight Cowboy but wasn't submitted in time to be included in the finished film. Joel Whitburn said instead that the song was "written for his wife Sarah Lowndes". Like many of the tracks on Nashville Skyline, the song is sung by Dylan in a warm, relatively low sounding voice, rather than the more abrasive nasal singing style with which he had become famous. Dylan attributed his "new" voice to having quit smoking before recording the album, but some unreleased bootleg recordings from the early 1960s reveal that, in fact, Dylan had used a similar singing style before.

Movies with religious themes...what are your thoughts?

Gillian Welch - Revelator Darling remember, when you come to me I'm the pretender; I'm not what ...

FearlessFly comments on Jul 23, 2020:

Time (The Revelator) is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Gillian Welch. All songs were written by Welch together with David Rawlings and were recorded at RCA Studio B, Nashville, Tennessee. Welch said of recording "Revelator," "It was a mic test – the version on the record. Dave just said, 'play 'Revelator' and it was okay, let's try it and we used the mic test." Rawlings added, "We played it once and it was great because we hadn't played it in months. We got that first take feeling."

ODE TO JOY - WALDO DE LOS RIOS .

FearlessFly comments on Jul 22, 2020:

Waldo de los Ríos was an Argentine composer, conductor and arranger. He is best remembered for his ability to transform European classical music into pop music. His 1971 arrangement of Mozart's Symphony No. 40, recorded with the Manuel de Falla orchestra, reached the top spot in the Dutch charts and scored a top 10 hit in several other European countries. (In the U.S. it peaked at #67 on the Billboard charts, released through United Artists Records.) In 1970, prior to this success, Waldo de los Ríos had already climbed the charts around Europe and America with Ludwig van Beethoven's Ode To Joy, which he arranged and conducted for Miguel Ríos "Song of Joy".

"The only wrinkle to this is that under certain circumstances the case may eventually end up being handled in federal court." . . . with all the Trump appointees to the federal bench, this is not likely to go well. :O

. . . since this is a 'dispute' between state and federal, won't this taken-up in federal court -- with so many Trump appointees on the federal bench, not likely to get very far I think.

As a software developer (20+ years), I think of 'social norms' as 'software bugs' -- programming that can and needs changing. IMO, the main criteria should be reason -- I reject whatever does not make sense.
