51andPissed: It’s beautiful out today in the Northeast. Windy…Clear…Crisp..and for some reason it reminded me of VINCENT by Don McLean.

VINCENT, sung by Don McLean is one of the great mood songs ever. Written about the tortured Vincent Van Gogh,VINCENT get’s right into your heart and squeezes it out like a angry chef would a wet dish rag.. What other songs are there that celebrate or bring great artists into the spotlight ? Let’s just do the FINE ARTS this time..Art,Photography,etc….

51andPissed: 20 Years Ago, PEARL JAM’S ” 10 ” is released !

Go to X — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:27:57 +0000

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since since Pearl Jam’s outstanding 10 was released , but yes it’s true. What a great band…McCready, Ament, Gossard,Cameron and of course the GOD…Eddie Vedder. NIRVANA had just broke and the year 1991 yielded some incredible music that will go into in other BLOGS, but 10 was a masterpiece with every song being jacked.. ONCE, EVEN FLOW, ALIVE,WHY GO,*** BLACK, JEREMY,***OCEANS, PORCH,***GARDEN, DEEP, and RELEASE… This album is perfect. Guitar, Base, Drums, Songs, and of course Vocals..With King Vedder crushing every song. So do yourself a favor pull this beauty from your collection..or download it now , and treat yourself to one of the great ROCK albums of all time. P.S. I saw them on RANDALLS ISLAND in 1992 and it was the 3rd best concert I ever saw…but definitely the best Mosh Pit..

**** Represents my favorites !

51andPissed: I’m pissed because I actually once liked this song….

51andPissed: The stunning Elizabeth Taylor is dead !

Go to X — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 13:52:59 +0000

I just learned that the unbelievably beautiful Elizabeth Taylor has died. You can read anywhere about her life, but I have to tell you : I thought in the 50′s and 60′s that she was the most beautiful and sexy woman in the world. Others came along and challenged ( Raquel Welch, Grace Kelly,Sophia Loren,Gina Lollobrigida etc), but none had the whole package that LIZ had. Stunning Violet eyes…Raven black hair…Perfect skin…Voluptous body..Partier..Didn’t care about anything ! Everything a man or woman would want. I remember when I was young and one night ( 1968 , 1969 ? ) I was watching the Oscars with the family. Elizabeth Taylor walked onto the stage to present an award and my father nudged me and said : ” Now my boy…that is a woman..” I looked up , and saw this vision with violet eyes ( yes violet) and I felt something get stuck in my throat , causing me to stop breathing and gasp at the vision of God’s mastery . So RIP Liz.. I know you gave one man an idea of what the philosophers always talk about..IDEAL BEAUTY…
I am 51andPISSED because I never met Elizabeth Taylor

51andPissed: Top 10 Rock Singers of All Time by ROLLING STONE.. Aretha Franklin , No 1, Ray Charles 2,….

Go to X — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 19:46:01 +0000

Is ROLLING STONE kidding me ? There are only 2 people in the Top 10 that I would have had on my list from ROLLING STONES list. Don’t get me wrong… I love everyone on the list, but really ??? Aretha No 1 ? Ray Charles 2 ? Sam Cooke 4 (huh) ? Bob Dylan 7 ? ( I named one of my kids after Dylan , but 7 ? ). Here is a list of my Top 10. I’ll try to keep them in order , but it’s hard especially the Top 5…But here I go..
1) John Lennon- The man.. A demigod. The greatest rock singer of all time. From IMAGINE to TWIST AND SHOUT to GOD..He is the man.. A genius.Mastermind..The best.
2) Robert Plant – Yes Robert Plant. He could sing Hard, Slow, Wail, Soft, Screech, Yell, Moan, etc etc All in different genres , different venues, and different tight jeans.
3) Marvin Gaye- I don’t consider him rock, but he crossed over. From SEXUAL HEALING to the most unbelievable MERCY , MERCY ME ( One of the greatest vocal songs ever).
4) Jim Morrison- As soon as you hear ” c’mon , c’mon, c’mon , c’mon now touch me babe” , the goosebumps rise and Morrison’s voice melts right through your soul like a Lizard over a rock in the hot, painted desert while dropping…. Mr Mojo Risin
5) Freddie Mercury- ” Is this the real life or is this just fantasy” says Freddie. I say ” Is this a real voice, or is it God’s mastery?” Mercury’s voice is right from heaven and beyond. If he lived longer he would have done Opera, Vaudeville, Jazz, or anything he wanted to do.. Majestic ! Wait he did all those anyway.
6) Paul McCartney- Yeah I know…But tough sh++ . We already have a Beatle. But there was never a better group and never a better singing duo.. From the twangy ROCKY RACCOON, to the screaming OH DARLING, to super-beautiful MICHELLE..McCartney just kills it and then kills it again..SOLO, WINGS, SOLO..on and on.
7) Kurt Cobain- Not a big body of work but was there anybody better at getting right to your hear, stomach, and pelvis and ripping it out. From HEART SHAPE BOX to RAPE ME to LITHIUM, nobody made you squirm more.
BONO- Yeah I know. Everybody hates BONO. Ass****, Jerk, Self Serving, Smug etc…BS The dude is a jacked Irishman who can sing his rear end off. SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY, ONE, ALL THAT YOU CAN’T LEAVE BEHIND are just a few. That lad can do whatever he wants with those pipes. He is the Man ( Oh yeah he helps out millions and millions a year with that voice )
9) Elton John- Yeah he’s a bit of a tool now with the whole Lion King bs ( still great singing ) But EJ commanded every song and style he ever did. From the rocky SATURDAY NIGHT’S ALRIGHT FOR FIGHTING to the beautifully done TICKING, to TINY DANCER and LEVON, Sir Elton crushed those songs and everything else he wanted to do.
10) BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN-C’mon find me a better sung song then BACKSTREETS, JUNGLELAND, NY CITY SERENADE, ROSALITA, the soft SANDY, and of course THUNDER ROAD ..Bruce just nails everything. As a matter of fact ..if I keep on writing I might move Bruce up much higher…much higher…
These are so many more that I could have fit in here especially from 10 down to 5…People like Bowie,Jagger, Al Green , Sly, Elvis,Dusty Springfield, Orbison etc What do you guys think ? Later Zen !
I’m 51andPISSED because ROLLING STONE missed the mark …Again !
