A Song To Make ANYONE Smile: “SHOUT IT OUT LOUD” by KISS (1976)

“…If You Don’t Feel Good…

…There’s A Way You Could…

…Don’t Sit There Broken-Hearted…

(…Sit There Broken-Hearted…)

…Call All Your Friends In The Neighborhood…

…And Get The Party Started…

(…Get The Party Started…)

…Don’t Let’em Tell You That There’s Too Much Noise…

…They’re Too Old To Really Understand…

…You’ll Still Get Rowdy With The Girls And Boys…

…‘Cause It’s Time For You To Take A Stand…

…YEAH YEAH…”

…

“SHOUT IT OUT LOUD” Is A Regular Crackerjack Of A Tune From The 1976 Album “DESTROYER” By Rock-Gods KISS !!!

…

“…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT OUT LOUD…

…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT…

…SHOUT IT OUT LOUD! …”

<<<…….>>>

<<…..>>

<…>

.

I Really Needed To Begin My Day With Something FAST…

…And FUN…

…And LOUD!!!

To Me…

…That Simply Screamed…

“YOU MUST PLAY SOME KISS!!!”

…And So I DID!!!

😀

“SHOUT IT OUT LOUD“

…Is One Of The All-Time Classic-Greats From Rock-Bizz-Titans…

KISS

…And Is One Of MY Personal Favorites!

When It Popped On Me Ole MP3Player…

…I Knew I’d Found My Wake-Up Jam!

😀       😀

Everyone Has To Start Their Day Differently.

Some Folks Just Roll-Out-Of-Bed And Imediately Hit-The-Showers.

Some Folks Require A Double-Shot Espresso…

(...hopefully with a cheese-danish or something tasty like that...)

…From The Local Starbucks.

Some Folks Just Hit-The-Ground-Running And Go For It.

Folks Like Myself, However, Reuqire Something Special To Begin Our Day’s Riggors.

I Didn’t Wanna Make Coffee TOOOO Early…

(...Though I'm Having Some, Now, As We Jive...)

…So I Needed Me Some Quality Jams!

I Popped On My Player And Here We Are!

🙂

Nifty, Eh?!

NIFTY, INDEED!!

😉

I Awoke In A Pretty Damned Decent Mood This Morning.

I’m Feelin’ Better…

…So I’d Like To Try And Get As Much Work Done As Possible.

I’ve Had A Few Ideas I’d Like To Explore…

…And I’d Like To See If I Can’t Come-Up With A Few More.

That’s Life, Eh?!

Go For One Thing…

…That Thing Turns Into Another Thing…

…That Turns Into, Yet, Another Thing.

And On And On And On.

So We’ll See What I Can Do With This “Damned Decent Mood” I’m Sporting.

Y’all Will Still Be Here When I Get Back, Right?!

GREAT!!

Perhaps Some Of You Just Need That Extra Little Jolt To Get Movin’?!

Well, Then…

…May I Suggest To You An Album Like…

“DESTROYER“

?!?

It’s A Regular Jim Dandy, Kiddies, Fo SHO!!

I Have The Feeling That Some Of Y’all Could Really Go For Some Of That…

…Sweet…

KISS

…Action!!

And, If That’s The Case…

“SHOUT IT OUT LOUD“

…May Just Be The Perfect Song To Awaken You From Your Zombifyed Morning State!!

It Worked For Me This Morning…

…So PERHAPS Is Could Work For You, Also!!

Now Wouldn’t THAT Be NICE!!

YOU BETCHA, My Peeps!!

Fo SHO!!

I Promise Not To Get Toooo In-depth Over All Of This…

…But I’ve Been Singing This Little Number…

“LET YOUR LOVE FLOW“

by BELLAMY BROTHERS

(1976)

…Off And On Since Yesterday.

It’s A Personal Favorite Song, Yes…

…But Today It’s Making Me Happier Than It Ever Has Before.

In Case Y’all, My Loving Peeps, Have Yet To Notice…

“YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?“

…Crossed The…

75,000

…HIT-MARK, Yesterday!

I Haven’t Done A Milestone Piece Since I Hit 6,000 Readers Back In February.

Since Then…

…Y’all Have Helped Me Turn…

“YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?“

…Into Something VERY SPECIAL!

That’s Why I Basically Took Yesterday Off.

I Felt A Milestone Victory Of Such An Amazing Feat Deserved A Day Of Rest For This Young’ish Man.

 I Really Wanted To Say Thank You.

Thank You Thank You THANK YOU, Even.

😉

This Is Likely To Be The Final Milestone Posting Until I Hit That Magical 100,000 Readers Point…

…But That Should At Least Give Me Something New To Look Forward To.

A Goal, If You Will.

Lately, I’ve Sincerely Felt My Lacking Focus Has Been…

…hmm…

…Lacking MORSE-SO???

My Brain Is Still Going Fast Enough I Think It’s Breaking The Sound-Barrier Inside My Skull.

But It Hasn’t Stopped Me From Doing All Of This For BOTH Myself AND All Of Y’all.

You Crazy Cats Really Seem To Enjoy My Random-Rambles…

…And That’s A Great Thing, As I Don’t Know How To Function Otherwise.

So Please Please Please Accept My Honest And Sincere Thanks For BOTH…

…Helping Me Along The Way…

…AND…

…Putting Up With Me In General.

It’s Much More Appreciate Than Y’all Likely Know, Or Ever Will Know.

Expressing True Emotions Is Very Difficult For Me.

I Know How Feelings Are SUPPOSED To Feel, Or Are SUPPOSED To Be Expressed.

I Just Generally Don’t Know How To Handle Either Of Those.

I Can APPROXIMATE Feelings…

…Without Actually Ever Feeling Them.

But I Do Know How To Give Thanks AND Praise When I Feel They Are Well Deserved.

And Y’ALL Are Exceptionally Deserving Of BOTH Thanks AND Praise.

Thanks For Stickin’ By Me, Here.

I’ll Shut-up Now.

But Again, Thank You, My Peeps.

I Promise To Keep Crankin’ It Out Here On…

“YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?“

…With The Hopes You’ll Continue Coming Back And Back For MORE MORE MORE!!!

Much Love, My Peeps.

Much Love, Indeed.

🙂

…CHEESE…

…And…

…SCHLOCK…

…With…

…A Side-Order Of…

(Not So) Random Movie Mention, SPECIAL EDITION: “THE SHOOTIST” (1976)

… … …

In My Bloggin’ing About My Favorite Westerns…

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

…You’ll Notice The Top…

JOHN WAYNE

...Western…

…To ME…

…Has ALWAYS Been…

“THE SHOOTIST“

Period.

And…

…Because TODAY Is (sorta) A Holiday…

…I Wanted To Do Something…

…FUN…

…And…

…SPECIAL…

…For Y’all.

This Bloggin’ing Topic Just FELT Like The RIGHT Topic.

I Can Only Hope Y’all Agree With Me In Some Way.

M’Kay, My Peeps???

M’KAY!!!

… … …

"THE SHOOTIST" Stars JOHN WAYNE, LAUREN BACALL, RON HOWARD, BILL McKINNEY, RICHARD BOONE, JOHN CARRADINE, SCATMAN CROTHERS, HARRY MORGAN, HUGH O'BRIAN, And JIMMY STEWART!

… … …

JOHN WAYNE

…Stars…

…As…

“JOHN BERNARD “J.B.” BOOKS“

…The Last Of The Great Gunfighters…

…Who Has Recently Been Diagnosed With Terminal Cancer.

He’s Taken The Long Journey To CARSON CITY…

…Basically For A Second-Opinion Of Said Diagnosis.

There, He Meets Up With His Old Friend…

“DR. HOSTETLER“

…Played By…

JIMMY STEWART

…Who Gives…

“J.B. BOOKS“

…The Ole Once Over…

…And…

…Sadly CONFIRMS The Diagnosis Of Terminal Cancer.

… … …

JOHN WAYNE In "THE SHOOTIST"

… … …

“J.B. BOOKS“

…Now Knows He Hasn’t Much Time Left…

…And He Simply Wants To Die Quietly.

No Hassles.

No Fanfare.

No Nothing.

He Rents A Room In The Boarding House Owned And Operated By…

“BOND ROGERS“

…Portrayed By…

LAUREN BACALL

…And…

“GILLOM ROGERS“

…Portrayed By…

RON HOWARD

…In The Hopes Of Getting The Quiet, Peaceful Death He’s Seeking.

 … … …

JOHN WAYNE And JIMMY STEWART In "THE SHOOTIST"

… … …

As Time Passes, However…

“J.B. BOOKS“

…Finally Reaches The Conclusion That…

…A Quiet, Or Peaceful, Ending Is Simply NOT How It SHOULD Be.

He MUST Go-Out…

…In The Manor Befitting A Man Of His Caliber.

He MUST Go-Out…

…In One Last…

…BLAZE OF GLORY…

…And…

…GUNFIRE!!!

… … …

"THE SHOOTIST" Would Be JOHN WAYNE's Final Film. And, To ME, It Is, BY FAR FAR FAR, His Very VERY BEST. Trust Me, My Peeps... If You HAVE NOT Seen This One, DO SO! If You HAVE Seen This One, DO SO AGAIN! True Classics NEVER Get Old, Kids. At Least, Not When They're THIS GOOD. PERIOD. 😉
