... Who would have thought that a song from 1957 would be such a good background for a bunch of electro dancers?

"electro"?

Electronic, if you must be formal. Jeez.

I did not know that shuffle dancing has Aussie rave origins . . . or that you are a dance snob. Jeez.

I think I've posted this one before. Turn it up and watch it again.

"A statue of Nancy with her hair flowing in the wind, giving that signature leg kick, and playing an ovation guitar needs to be placed at the entrance of the rock and roll hall of fame."

"Nancy Wilson does not play the guitar, she RIDES it like a Valkyrie riding the thunder in a storm!"

[O Really]

Somebody's opinion of the "100 Greatest Songs of All Time" - listed in "no particular order."
One might argue some good ones were left out, or that some didn't deserve their place, but overall it's a good list that might make one go play some again.

Tonight's 60 Minutes Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga/Alzheimer’s report is very touching. It should be up on CBS and YT soon.

And I think I've said this before about my first Heart experience on February 11, 1979 (opening act Firefall (yeah, I had to look it up)) in Lakeland Fl remembering her backlit in leather pants playing just that.

I'd found love❣

Sadly, I don't think she ever knew about it.

I missed most of that, because of the you know, police drama in the cul-de-sac... but found it on youtube...

You must not watch 60 Minutes often. Its broadcasts have a more developed story line, are not labeled "60 Minutes Overtime", and are never just 6 minutes long. That is a merely a supplement, NOT the broadcast 60 Minutes report. It adds a little depth, but I'd suggest watching the actual report first in order to get the full impact. I teared up at the end.

Here it is. Skip forward to the last segment at 28:40, "The Final Act". You'll have to sit through a few commercials.

Emmy worthy, IMO.

I grew up in San Francisco in the 60's. Tony Bennet was pretty much royalty there, thanks to his classic hit, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". I actually grew a bit tired of hearing it all the time, LOL. But it still is a lovely tune, and he sang it just right, so right that I don't recall anyone else trying to cover it, except perhaps at parties.

[neoplacebo]

Tony didn't write the music or lyrics to that song but he did try his hand on "I Left my Spleen in Snohomish County" but it didn't catch on.

Did you ever watch the broadcast 60 Minutes Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga/Alzheimer’s report?

79-Year-Old Man Shoots Son for Playing Guitar Too Long

A 79-year-old Ohio man shot his 50-year-old son after becoming irritated over the younger man playing his guitar too long. Fred Hensley Sr. was apparently aiming for the guitar when he shot Fred Hensley Jr. in the stomach on Sunday (October 24th).

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, police responded to a call of an accidental shooting at a home in Blue Ash, Ohio. Apparently, while police were on the way, the son attacked the father, despite being wounded by the gunshot.

Court papers reveal that the elder Hensley told cops that he fired his .380 pistol toward the guitar because his son wouldn’t stop rocking for over an hour. WXIX adds that police officers found the gun, a spent shell casing, and the guitar riddled with bullet holes at the scene.

Hensley Sr. has been charged with felonious assault and domestic violence, reports WKRC, and is currently being held on $60,000 bond. Hensley Jr., meanwhile, insists he doesn’t remember assaulting his dad after the shooting, and isn’t facing any charges as of yet.

The father was taken to the hospital with facial wounds, and later booked at Hamilton County Justice Center. The son was also hospitalized with a gunshot wound in his ribcage area. His current condition has not been reported, but it appears the wound was not life-threatening.

Some reporter or editor of a certain age thought that this incident is as funny as I do:

Watch a local television news report from WKRC in Cincinnati below, followed by Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” music video (in place of an actual reenactment).

Oh no, it's behind a Paramount+ paywall now.

The Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga concert, One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, that's featured at the end of the 60 Minutes report will be shown on CBS Sun 11/28 8 pm.
