“…Down Below… …They Danced And Sang In The Street… …While Up Above… …The Walls Were Steaming With Heat…” –THE TRAVELING WILBURYS (“Last Night” (1988))

<>

<<>>

“…LAST NIGHT…

…Thinkin’ ’bout LAST NIGHT…

…LAST NIGHT…

…Think’ ’bout LAST NIGHT…”

…

“LAST NIGHT” Is Just One Of The Many Personal Favorite Jams From The 1988 Album “THE TRAVELING WILBURYS VOLUME 1” By THE TRAVELING WILBURYS !!!

…

“…I Was Feelin’ No Pain…

…Feelin’ Good In My Brain…

…I Looked In Her Eyes…

…They Were Full Of Surprise…

…LAST NIGHT…

…Talkin’ ’bout LAST NIGHT…

…LAST NIGHT…

…Talkin’ ’bout LAST NIGHT. …”

I Awoke Very VERY Early This Morning.

No Real Rhyme Nor Reason For It.

Just Another Sleepless Night.

One Would Think I’d Be Used To It By Now.

Honestly…

…I Don’t Know If Anyone Ever Gets Used To It.

BUT…

…Regardless Of Being Used To It Or Not…

…Here I Am…

…Writing About It To Y’all.

I Had This Song In My Brain Yesterday Evening.

“LAST NIGHT“

by THE TRAVELING WILBURYS

It Is Simply A Fun Little Tune.

There’s Nothing Really Special About It, Other Than Who It Was Performed By.

I Just Love Love LOVE Me Some…

TRAVELING WILBURYS

…Without A Doubt And Totally Fo SHO, My Peeps.

“LAST NIGHT“

…Is Performed By The Whole Group…

ROY ORBISON

TOM PETTY

BOB DYLAN

JEFF LYNNE

…And…

GEORGE HARRISON

…Although Most Of The Vocal Portions Are Either…

ROY Or TOM

!!! !!!

😀

Can’t Beat That With A Stick At K-Mart, Can Ya!!?!

EXACTLY!!!

You Surely Can’t, My Peeps, You Surely Can’t.

😉

So, When I Awoke So Damned Early This Morning…

…I Sincerely Couldn’t Wait To Get To My MP3Player So I Could Hear This Crackerjack Of A Tune.

And Now…

…I Am.

And I Have Been.

I Have The Song On Repeat, Actually.

I Didn’t Wanna Stop Listening To It Until I Finished My Post.

Call It A Personal Form Of Quality Inspiration.

😉

ANYWAY…

…’Tis Nearing The Dawn, Now.

Who Needs Another Hot Cup-O-Joe?!

(*Points Lovingly At Self With Both Thumbs*)

THIS GUY!!!

😉

Damn Skippy, My Drippies!!!

Hopefully This Will Help Your Morning A Little Bit.

It’s Just Something That Made Me Smile…

…And I Thought It Could Do The Same For Y’all.

I Hope I Was Right!

😀       😉       😀

My Morning Mixes: Bourbon, Scotch AND Beer? On A Monday Morning? OKAY!!!

Good Morning, My Peeps.

🙂

How Goes The Day So Far?

Too Early To Tell, Eh?

That’s What I Was Thinking, Also…

…Even Though My Day Is Already Hours Old.

How’d Ya Sleep?

I Gotcha, I Gotcha.

Me, Also.

It Took Nothing To Fall Asleep…

…And Everything To Stay Asleep.

In The End…

…Staying Asleep Failed, Yet Again.

Oh Well, Right?!

RIGHT!!

😀

Well…

…We’re Not Here To Discuss Sleep, Anyway.

Are We?!

We’re Not, Right?!

Ah.

Good.

RIGHT!!

Let’s Talk A Little Music, Then!!

Good Plan, My Peeps, Good Plan!!

😉

WEEELLL…

…Temperature Wise…

…It’s Damn Near PERFECT, Outside.

That’s A VERY Good Thing.

We’ve Had Some Brisk Little Mornings Of Late…

…So Today Was Simply Made For Walkin’!

🙂

My Morning Mix Began With A Classic.

Which Classic Would That Be?!

GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS

…And Their Version Of…

“ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER“

😀

You Know I Like To Get My Walks Going Great…

…And This Morning Was No Different.

So Why Not Kick-It-Off With An 8 1/2 Minute Jam?!

Exactly, My Peeps, Exactly!

Why Not, INDEED!

😉

I Then Slipped Into Some…

…OH YEAH…

ALICE COOPER

…With His Charming Little Ditty…

“TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN“

😀

I Chose That One Because It Makes Me Happy To Do So.

“TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN“

…Always Makes Me Think Of My Nephew, As He’s A Big Fan Of It, And That Generally Gives Me The Power To Pick-Up My Pace.

😉

I Went For A Double-Dose Of…

DEPECHE MODE

…After That.

I Went Old-School When I Hit-Up…

“STORIES OF OLD“

…And Then Went Oldest-School ((DEPECHE MODE Wise)) With…

“JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH“

😀       😀

Trust Me, My Peeps, Those Two, Back-To-Back, Are A Wondrous Walking Combination, Fo SHO!

😉

I Decided To Stay In The Same Neighborhood…

…Musically Speaking…

…When I Went For A Little…

ERASURE

…And Their Immortal ((If You’re An ERASURE Fan)) Jam…

“VICTIM OF LOVE“

😀

Let Me Guess…

…You’ve Never Heard The Words ERASURE And IMMORTAL In The Same Sentence?!

I Kinda Figured That One, Kids, I Really REALLY Did.

😉

TOM PETTY

…Was Up Next, As I Wanted To Slow-Down The Pace Just A Touch.

So I Went With…

“FREE FALLIN’“

😀

That One Has Been A Fave-Fave Since Its Initial-Release…

…And Has Yet To Get Old To Me.

That’s What Great Tunage Is Supposed To Do, Right?!

RIGHT!!

😉

I Wanted To Pick-Up The Pace Again, But Not TOO MUCH…

…And I Had The Perfect Song In Mind…

“TOO SHY“

by KAJAGOOGOO

😀

That’s Another Fave-Fave With Major “Lasting-Powers” Fo SHO!

It’s A Song That Always Makes Me Smile…

…And It’s Also A Perfect Walkin’ Jam!!

😉

I Had My Next Jam Already Picked-Out, As I Knew I Wanted To Kick The Pace WAY UP Before I Went Into My Cool-Down/Cruising Mode.

What Was It, You Ask?!

“PART-TIME LOVER“

…From The Man Himself…

STEVIE WONDER

😀

You Must Remember, Kiddies, I’m A Child Of The ’80s…

…And That One Is My All-Time FAVE From Mr. WONDER!!

He’s Had A Ton Of Fantastic Jams…

…But That One Reminds Me Of MY OWN Past, As I Remember When It Was BRAND-NEW!!

😉

Finally…

…It Was Time To Cool-It-Down Before Calling-It-Quits.

I Ended-Up Selecting A Song I Hadn’t Listened To In Quite A While.

It Simply Fit What I Was Wanting To Do So Well.

My Final Jam Of The Morning Mix, Was…

“LET IT BE“

by THE BEATLES

😀

Talk About A GREAT Early Morning Stroll, My Peeps.

GREAT, Indeed.

😉

Have ANY Of YOU Been On A Morning Walk-About?!

I’m Sure SOMEONE Has To Have Done So!

If You Have…

…Did You Jam-It As You Kicked-About?!

WHAT/WHO DID YOU LISTEN TO?!

I’d Love To Know, Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!

😀       😀       😀

The Song Stuck In My Head: “END OF THE LINE” by TRAVELING WILBURYS (1988)

“…Well It’s All Right…

…Even When Push Comes To Shove…

…Well It’s All Right…

…If You’ve Got Someone To Love…

…Well It’s All Right…

…Everything’ll Work Out Fine…

…Well It’s All Right…

…We’re Going To The End Of The Line. …“

“…Don’t Have To Be Ashamed Of The Car I Drive…

…(The End Of The Line)…

…I’m Just Glad To Be Here, Happy To Be Alive…

…(The End Of The Line)…

…It Don’t Matter If You’re By My Side…

…(The End Of The Line)…

…I’m Satisfied. …“

“…Well It’s All Right…

…Even If You’re Old And Gray…

…Well It’s All Right…

…You’ve Still Got Something To Say…

…Well It’s All Right…

…Remember To Live And Let Live…

…Well It’s All Right…

…The Best You Can Do Is Forgive…

…Well It’s All Right…

…Riding Around In The Breeze…

…Well It’s All Right…

…If You Live The Life You Please…

…Well It’s All Right…

…Even If The Sun Don’t Shine…

…Well It’s All Right…

…We’re Going To The End Of The Line.“

The Amazingly Wonderful TRAVELING WILBURYS Were BOB DYLAN, JEFF LYNNE, TOM PETTY, GEORGE HARRISON, and ROY ORBISON

I’ve Had This Song Stuck In My Head For A Few Days Now, Since A Friend Of Mine Posted The Video In An Attempt To Cheer Me Up.

And I Must Admit…

…It Worked.

“END OF THE LINE“

…If My Fave-Fave Of All Time From The Band…

TRAVELING WILBURYS

…Period.

It’s One Of The Few Classic Jams I Can Honestly Listen To A Hundred Times A Day And NOT Be Sick Of It By Day’s End.

Are You Curious About TRAVELING WILBURYS?

Alright, Well…

“END OF THE LINE“

…Is The Song I’d Suggest To Pop The Ole Proverbial Cherry.

In Fact…

“END OF THE LINE“

…Ranks Among MY Top 5 Jams In Music History!

Totally AND Fo SHO!!

--->(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwqhdRs4jyA)<---

There Ya Go.

The Link Above Is To The YouTube Edition Of The Iconic Music Video!

I Sincerely Hope You Just Love It LOVE IT, My Peeps.

It’s Also One Of My Favorite Music Videos Ever Ever EVER.

It’s Simple.

It’s Elegant.

It’s Totally Freakin’ AWESOME, Kiddies!

The Only Drawback To This Music Is Being Forced To Realize That…

ROY ORBISON

…And…

GEORGE HARRISON

…Have Now Left Us.

:*(

Both Of Them Died Much Sooner Than Any Of Us Would Have Liked…

…But Their Amazing Talents Now Live On Through The Legacy Of Their Amazingly Amazing Music.

Please Check’em Out, My Peeps.

I Promise Y’all (likely) Won’t Be Disappointed.

TRAVELING WILBURYS

…Only Released TWO Albums Before Calling It Quits…

…But Their First Album…

“TRAVELING WILBURYS: Volume 1“

…Is The Only One To Feature ROY ORBISON On It, As He Died The Same Year It Was Released, 1988.

Give’em A Go, My Peeps.

You Can ALWAYS Thank Me Later.

TRUST ME…

…I’m Already Banking On It.

Please Try To Enjoy The Day, Ya’ll.

With My Music In Tow…

…I Shall Endeavor To Do Exactly As Such.

L8r On, Kids!

😉

😀

My Morning Mixes: Bound For Glory? Could Be! =)

Good Morning, My Peeps.

🙂

T’Is A VERY Warm Start To A Sunday, That’s Fo SHO.

Like They Say, Though, It’s The Humidity That’s A Killer.

(hehehe)

You’ll Be Pleased To Know I Hit-The-Sack VERY EARLY Last Night.

T’Was A VERY Good Feeling To Awaken…

…Sans Alarm…

…At (almost) Exactly 5:30AM…

…And To Be In A Damned Decent Mood About It.

I’m An Early Riser, Yes.

It’s A Nasty Habit That Has Yet To Dissipate.

In Fact…

…I Think It Has Become Worse.

Is That A Sign I’m Getting Old?

Reminds Me Of A Song By The Band…

MORPHINE

…Called…

“EARLY TO BED“

…In Which They State…

“Early To Bed…

…And Early To Rise…

…Makes A Man Or Woman…

…Miss Out On The Night Life.“

(hehehe)

That Song Isn’t Part Of This Edition Of “MY MORNING MIXES”…

…But Perhaps It’ll Pop-Up Again At Some Point.

😉

ANYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On.

This Morning’s Walk-About Was EXCELLENT, My Peeps.

The Ole Hometown Was More Like Ye Ole Ghost-Town.

I Didn’t See One Other Person Wandering About.

Only Saw 4 Vehicles In Motion, Actually.

It Was Very Still.

It Was Very Quiet.

It Was Very Very…

…Hmm…

…Well…

…Eerie?

🙂

Upon Leaving The House…

…I Decided It Was The Perfect Morning For A Great Jam.

The Walk Began With…

“BOUND FOR GLORY“

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

😀

If You’ve Not Heard Anything From Them Yet…

…Y0u Really REALLY Should Treat Yourselves, My Bros & Sises!

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Are Simply AMAZING…

…And PERFECT For Use As A Motivational Tool.

TRUST ME, My Peeps.

TRUST ME, Indeed.

I Followed Them Up With…

“SURE KNOW SOMETHING“

by KISS

😀

And THEN A Little…

CHUCK BERRY

…With…

“YOU NEVER CAN TELL“

😀

By This Point…

…I’m Totally In Cruise Mode.

So I Pop On…

“LET’S DANCE“

by DAVID BOWIE

😀

…And Then…

DEPECHE MODE‘s

“MARTYR“

😀

I Kicked It Down A Notch At This Point.

Decided I Needed Me Some…

TOM PETTY

…So I Jammed-It-Hard With…

“MARY JANE’S LAST DANCE“

😀

…And Then Went Directly Into His…

“FREE FALLIN’“

😀

At About This Point I Figured I Was Already Into Cool-Down-Mode.

So It Seemed Right To Kick-On…

“NEVER SAY GOODBYE“

by BON JOVI

😀

And I Was Right…

…I Was Totally Into My Cool-Down-Mode…

…But I Wasn’t Finished With My Walk.

The Final Song Of The Morning Was Sort-Of Out Of Left-Field.

I Simply Pressed My MP3Player’s RANDOM-PLAY Button.

And It Fired Back At Me With…

“KINGS OF MEDICINE“

by PLACEBO

😀

😀     😀

YEP YEP YEP!!!

T’Was A Wondrous Wandering, My Peeps.

I Haven’t Sweat That Much In Who Knows How Long.

I Was Ready For A Shot Of Water…

…AND A Large Cup-O-Joe…

…Upon My Return Home.

Sound Like A Damned Decent Morning To Y’all?!?

EXACTLY!!!

That’s How It FELT To ME!!!

I’ll Be Checking In With Y’all Throughout The Day, Fo SHO, My Peeps.

Until Then…

…

…

😀

My 6 Favorite Jams From This Morning’s Walk-About!!!

The Walk Was Much Needed This Morning.

I Awoke At 3:30’ish A.M. And Simply Couldn’t Get Back To Sleep.

So I Piddled About On Here For A Bit…

…And Then Decided To Take A Morning Stroll Around Town.

Nothing Major…

…Just A Nice…

…Simple…

…Brisk Walk.

And It Felt WONDERFUL!

I’ve ALMOST Got All Of The Feeling Back In My Left-Leg…

…Which Is GREAT…

…Though I’m Still Struggling A Bit With The Broken Right-Pinkie-Toe.

Every Single Time I Step Off A Curb…

…Or Go Up Some Stairs…

…etc etc etc…

…WOW…

…It Frickin’ Frackin’ HURTS!!!

ANYWAY…

…Sorry…

…THE POINT IS…

…The Walk Was GREAT…

…And The Jams Were GREATER!!!

So Here’s A Quickie Top 6 List Of The Best Jams From This Morning’s Walk!

Hopefully Being The Key Word.
