Running up that hill, motivated us to go take the dogs on hikes in the woods. We were newly married and poor. It gave us cheap activity. The dogs eventually got conditioned to run outside and jump in the back of the truck every time that song played. (Who trains who?)

Turn of The Cards by Renaissance is a real masterpiece too. Early 70’s material like nothing else ever! Renaissance (Annie Haslam) combined world history, opera, rock, and classical music, all into one. Brilliant stuff.

I like Kate Bush but I never liked this song much. I like her song “The Sensual World.”

Tommy James of the Shondells wrote a book “Me, the Mob, and the Music” where he said his record company Roulette Records stole up to $40 million from him...
One of the guys that worked in the office in New York as an enforcer was found tied up and shot dead in Florida.
“I found out later on that Roulette was actually a front for the Genovese crime family and Levy was heavily connected. “

I wonder how much Kate Bush really made that she is not being told about?

“Maybe you listened to too much disco,...”

Uhhh, no way.

I was at Texas A&M in the 80s, so I’d listen to Jerry Jeff Walker and Bob Wills at the Chicken, then walk next door to Duddley’s Draw and hear Skynyrd and Zeppelin.

Never heard of her until today.

Was she related to George W or Poppy?

Literally never heard of her until today.

She’s breaking records in the UK. The longest time between two #1 hits, 44 years. The longest time for a single to reach #1, 37 years. The oldest woman with a #1 hit, 63.

My appreciation for her has increased over the years. A unique talent.

I didn't listen to her in the 80s but in the summer of '90, a girlfriend gave me a mixed tape of her music and then it clicked.

Kate Bush is an acquired taste and to this day, there's some songs of hers that I absolutely love, and others that I just don't get.

Once you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king.

Anytime you want to apologize, I’ll forgive you.

Kate Bush is the only SNL guest that kept me home on a Saturday night. She did Wuthering Heights.

That WAS a little rough.

Okay, please forgive me.
