The Nilsson one's better I reckon. Bob said he wrote Lay Lay for his next door neighbour, Babs Streisand.

She got around

Ever been a Jackson Browne fan? A bit schmaltzy production-wise but he could craft lyrics that conveyed a feeling. Even if they were about quiet desperation, hopelessness and resignation to your fate.

I often play running on empty when driving a long trip. Every song is a good listen

Same brother, one of my driving soundtracks for years too. His earlier albums not so much though, there's always the danger of falling asleep at the wheel, and in the case of Late For The Sky, giving up and driving off a cliff.

For me Springsteen Nebraska. Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks. Did you know Glen Campbell was in the Beach Boys for a time.

Never lost his guitar chops when he had Alzheimers, was amazing to see, albeit sad.

Since everyone is concentrating on the US election.

I know the Chilli Peppers sung (Californication) about them spreading their way of life everywhere. But you have to admit some American things like Coca Coloa, movies, music are wunderbar.

We are all falling for operation mickey mouse.

And the old classic.

Although I prefer Glory Days.

For those of you thinking there will be riots. You'll be safe in new york city. AC/DC don't lie.

This is one of those songs that were unfortunately getting air play before 9/11. Then not so much. Like System of a Downs' Chop Suey where some people looked to closely at the lines "self righteous suicide and angels deserve to die"

Yeah wasn't Toxicity released the same week as 9/11? A lot of their songs on the first album were also very intense in their war messages (see the song War? "we will fight the heathens"), not surprising the radio stations got a bit scared in that time!

And don't forget Shihad having to change their name just as they were about to embark on cracking into the US market, that's some bad timing! Though the story about Jon Toogood being left alone on stage in NYC and nervously cracking a joke basically calling cops c*nts in the wake of 9/11 didn't help either

Sad to see Phil Collins unable to play drums anymore with his poor health. Was one of them that always astounded me how they sing and have the capacity to have hands and feet moving in different time

So it's a sunny Friday before Wellington Anniversary weekend, and that got me reminiscing on the good old Big Day Out, which was always on this day which I looked forward to every summer from my first in 2001 to my last in 2011 (the road trips from Wanganui or Wellington were always all part of the excitement too!)

20 years ago was Slipknot, Beastie Boys, Chemical Brothers, SoaD, The Hives and more. Good times

Anyone else got fond BDO memories?

I basically went to everyone from 1995.

Different times really wasn't it.

1996 was the best one in my mind - it was the one with the huge localised rain storm.
