BIZZAM!!

At 4 p.m. ET, the stage for the Radiohead show in Downsview Park, Toronto collapsed killing 1 and injuring 3 others.  The show has been canceled.

This collapse follows a string of stage collapses that have occurred over the last year, the worst of which happened at the Indiana State Fair (three hours from where I live, by the way), minutes before country group Sugarland took the stage.  In that instance seven were killed when a strong line of storms blew in.

Lets all send good vibes out to the family of the person who died (as yet unidentified), and the others who were injured.  Lets be thankful that no more were killed.

What’s On Now?!? “BUTCH CASSIDY And THE SUNDANCE KID” (1969)

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

Well, My Peeps…

…It’s Saturday Night…

…My CARDINALS Beat My ROYALS…

(a slightly bitter-sweet victory, but I'm a Cardinal first and foremost)

…And I Ain’t Got Nothin’ Else Goin’ On.

SO…

…I Figured It Was Time To Break-Out A Quality Flick And Just Chill For A While.

I Went Through Every DVD I Have…

…All 500+ Of Them…

…And I Simply Could Not Decide On WHAT I Was Gonna Chill For A While With.

Then It Hit Me.

By Golly I Haven’t Seen This One For A Piece!

So Why Not, Eh?!

Why Not, Indeed!!!

Tonight…

…My Viewing Pleasure Decided To Go West…

…Or…

…To Bolivia…

…Or…

…Well…

…ANYWAY…

…Tonight I’m Watching…

“BUTCH CASSIDY And THE SUNDANCE KID“

(1969)

…Starring…

PAUL NEWMAN And ROBERT REDFORD

!!!!!! !!!!!!

I Know…

…I Know…

…You’re JEALOUS!!!

And You Honestly Have A Right To Be, My Peeps.

Not Everyone Is Just Sooo Damned Cool They Can Spend A Saturday Night At Home And STILL Be ROCKIN’-IT-HARD!!!

No Punning There, My Peeps.

I Mean…

…You Can Pun If You Wanna…

…But None Was Intended There.

Sheesh.

You Peeps Have Dirty Minds.

😉

ANYWAY!!!

MOVING ON, MOVING ON!!!

“BUTCH CASSIDY And THE SUNDANCE KID“

…Is One Of The Classic ALL-TIME-GREAT Westerns.

.Period.

It Even Made My Personal List Of The Best Westerns EVER MADE!!!

(http://youjivinmeturkey.com/2012/03/13/12-in-12-my-favorite-westerns/)

It’s A Classic Adventure Loaded With Thrills, Shoot-Outs, Fun, And It’s Packed With Plenty Of Heart.

I Don’t Know If You Could Ask For A Better Flick To Enjoy On A Saturday Evening.

Safe In The Air-Conditioning.

Hot Coffee A Brewin’.

Full-Belly Of Home-Cookin’.

T’Is A Right Dandy Evening, To Say The Least.

I Sincerely Hope Y’all Are Having A Mighty Fine Day…

…And I Hope More-So That It Carries Over Into The Evening…

…And Onward Into Tomorrow.

I Shall Pester Y’all Later, My Peeps.

I’ve Got A Few Things In The Works For You…

Alright, My Peeps…

…You’re All Very Well Aware By Now That Going For A Walk Is My Primary Means Of Both EXERCISE And MENTAL/EMOTIONAL Downtime.

I Get Out There…

…I Slap On My Tunage…

…And I Go For It.

Sometimes…

…I’m Walking For Distance.

Other Times…

…I’m Walking For A Time-Period.

I Almost Never Know Which I’m Going To Be Doing Until I Get Out There And Get Movin’.

I Like To Change-Up My Routes…

…Trying To Never Go The Exact Same Way Each And Every Time.

Like My Blog, I Tend To Perform The Other Activities In My World As Randomly As Possible.

I HATE MONOTONY.

.PERIOD.

By Maintaining A Feeling Of Pure Randomness…

…My Activities Almost Always Have The Feeling Of NEWNESS.

It’s How My Brain Works…

…And It’s How My Life Unfolds.

I Tend To Just Fall Ass-Backward Into Situations…

…Almost Totally Regardless Of WHAT Said Situation Is.

It’s Both A BLESSING And A CURSE, To Be Sure.

ANYWAY…

…The Point Of This Post Is To Quickly Discuss Some Tunage.

I’m Going To Impart Some Quickie Knowledge On Y’all.

You See…

…I Try To Walk Each And Every Day, When It’s Possible To Do So.

And There Are Many Days When I Go For Said Walks, But I Just Don’t Seem To Have The Energy/Motivation To Go As Long, Or As Far, As I Would Like.

THAT’S WHERE THE SWEET SWEET TUNES COME INTO PLAY!!!

Right Now…

…I’m Going To Share With You Something I Feel Y’all Should Consider For The Next Time You Get Out-&-About.

When It Comes To A Lengthy Walk-About…

…You’ve Gotta Have Those Songs That Motivate You.

Songs Where You Can Time The Steps Of Your Feet With The Beat Of The Song.

They Help You Kick-It-Up At Notch…

…And They Help You Crank-It-Out Like Nobody’s Business.

Here, For Y’all’s Pleasure, Are The 7 Most Important And Essential Songs…

 (in no particular order as I love them all)

…For Powering Through MY Walk.

I’m Going To Begin This With…

That’s Them, My Peeps.

Those Are THE 7 SONGS (and an Honorable Mention) I Simply MUST MUST Have On My Little Music-Box.

I Don’t Listen To All Of Them All The Time…

…But I’m Always Glad To Know I Have Them Handy.

I Derive Much Motivation From Each Of Them…

…And A Heaping Amount Of Pleasure, Also.

If I’m Going To Suggest ANY SONGS That I Feel SHOULD BE On Your Player…

…In Regard To Aiding In Personal Motivation…

…To Get Y’all Movin’ Movin’ Movin’…

…Those Would Be Them.

A Short…

…Sweet…

…Simple Little List Of Jams That Are Very Easy To Obtain…

…And Even Easier To Truly Enjoy!

Are You Ready To Go Tromping-About For A Bit, Yet?

I Sure As Hell Am.

I’ve Already Done One Walk Today…

…And I’m Already Planning On Another.

The Outside Temperature Will Be The Deciding Factor As To WHEN I’ll Be Going For Another Stroll.

I Love To Sweat…

…But I Don’t Wanna Roast.

It’s Supposed To Be One Hot Bastard Outside, Today.

So My Second Walk Will POSSIBLY Be An Evening Affair.

That’s Fine With Me.

It Gives Me All The Time I Need To Come-Up With A New Playlist!

BRING ON THE DAY, WORLD!

I. AM. READY. FO. SHO.

Songs That Make Me Smile: “ONE WAY OUT” by THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND (1972)

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

“Ain’t But…

…ONE WAY OUT, Baby…

…Lord I Just Can’t Go Out That Door.

Ain’t But…

…ONE WAY OUT, Baby…

…And Lord I Just Can’t Go Out That Door.

‘Cause There’s A Man Down There…

…Might Be Your Man…

…I Don’t Know.“

/*\

\*/

“…Lord You Got Me Trapped, Woman…

…Up On The Second Floor.

If I Get By This Time…

…I Won’t Be…

…Trapped No More.

So Raise Your Window, Baby…

…I Can Ease Out Soft And Slow.

And Lord, Your Neighbors…

…No They Won’t Be…

…Talking That Stuff That They Don’t Know.“

/*\

\*/

“…Lord, I’m Foolish To Be Here…

…In The First Place…

…I Know Some Man Gonna Walk In…

…And Take My Place.

Ain’t No Way In The World…

…I’m Going Out That Front Door.

‘Cause There’s A Man Down There…

…Might Be Your Man…

…I Don’t Know. …“

/*\

\*/

“ONE WAY OUT” Was/Is The Ultimate Track From The 1972 Album “EAT A PEACH” By THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

/*\

So, My Peeps…

…Why Does This Little Tune Get The Grand Treatment Of Being The First Song In A New, And Hopefully Long Running, Series?

AND…

…More Importantly…

…Why Does This Song Make Me Smile???

Welllll…

…For Starters…

…This Song…

“ONE WAY OUT“

by THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

…Is Actually THE SONG That Spawned The Whole Idea In The First Place.

See, Kiddies…

…I Was Spending A Little Time With My Father.

We Turned On The Radio.

And Not 2-Seconds-Later…

…This Song Began To Play.

My Father And I Had The Exact Same Reaction.

We Both Reached For The Volume Button To Seriously CRANK-IT-UP!

You See…

…It’s His FAVORITE SONG…

…From His FAVORITE ALBUM…

…From His FAVORITE BAND.

I Sincerely Love Love LOVE The Tune Myself…

…But I Don’t Know Of Anyone Who Could Love It More-So Than My Father.

His Foot Starts Bouncin’…

…He Starts Slappin’ His Leg….

…And He SINGS ALONG!

My Father Doesn’t Sing Along To Most Music He Hears…

…Even When It’s A Song He Truly Enjoys.

But When…

“ONE WAY OUT“

…Begins To Play…

…He’s INTO IT.

Flat-Out…

…No-Holds-Barred…

…INTO IT.

.Period.

If You Know The Man As I Do…

…Then You Also Know He’s Very Easy To Perk-Up If You’ve Got Some Quality Jams To Pop-On The Ole Speakers.

And If You REALLY Know The Man As I Do…

…Then You REALLY Know Nothing Works Better Than Music From…

THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

.Period Period.

I Love The Song, As I’ve Said, But I Enjoy It So Much More When I Get To Watch HIM Derive So SO Much More Joy From It.

And THAT Also Answers The Other Question.

Why Does This Song Make Me Smile???

It Makes Me Smile Because…

…No Matter Where I Am…

…Where I’m Going…

…What I’m Doing…

…Who I’m With…

…If I Need Something To Perk-Up MY Mood…

“ONE WAY OUT“

by THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

…Is Generally The Quickest Way To Put A Smile On My Face.

Not Because Of MY Love For The Song…

…But Because I’m Thinking Of My Father And HIS Love For The Song.

I Can Picture The Foot Bouncin’…

…The Leg Slappin’…

…And His Valiant Attempts To Belt-Out The Tune As Best He Can.

Simple Memories, I Grant You.

But They’re Never Far Away.

And They’ve Yet To Fail Me, Thus Far.

And Now…

…Y’all Know Exactly WHY This Song Makes Me Smile…

…And WHY It’s The Flag-Ship Of This New Series.

😀

Acceptable, My Peeps???

I BLOODY WELL HOPE SO!!!

I Promise Y’all, This Series Feels Almost Boundless At This Point.

There Are Many Many MANY Songs That Make Me Smile…

…And For So So SO Many Different Reasons.

“ONE WAY OUT“

…Simply Seemed Like The Perfect Way To Begin.

I’m Very Very VERY Pleased With It, Anyway.

And I Sincerely Hope Some Of Y’all Are, Also.

Midnight Is Now Upon Us.

But The Weekend Has Just Begun.

Holla At Y’all Later, Fo SHO!!!
