I remember the song, Remember a group named The Payola$ ?
Wildflower Festival - Dallas
Takes me back, but not necessarily to a place I want to remember.
On a similar note, last weekend we had The Wildflower Festival here in Dallas. We went on Saturday when they featured Blue Oyster Cult, The Guess Who, America (remember "Horse with no name"?), Brett Michaels (has he really been doing this for 21 years) and various others. A great day out and well worth it. The Guess Who were excellent, still belting out the tunes and clearly having fun doing it. Blue Oyster Cult were surpisingly good as well, I'd almost forgotten them. If you're in Dallas about this time next year, look out for it.
My favorite band in the mid eighties was a heavy metal band named Saxon. Looked them up on the net and they are still going... Rock and roll never dies!!!

I tend to find pretty obscure stuff this way.: I search around on iTunes for compliation series that I feel have good selections, and then just buy whole compilations... recently I've been spending way too much money on this series -- http://electricnation2010.com/tracks
I always thought Enya's music was interesting.....very easy to listen to. It's quite the travel song too, check out the lyrics.

Let me sail, let me sail,
let the Orinoco Flow,
let me reach, let me beach
on the shores of Tripoli.
Let me sail, let me sail,
let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach
far beyond the Yellow Sea.
De, de

Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
De, de

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu. Ooh.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu. Ooh.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu. Aah...
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
From the North to the South, Ebudæ into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.
We can sail, we can sail on the Orinoco Flow,
we can sail, we can sail.
(sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can steer, we can near
with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail
(sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can reach, we can beach,
on the shores of Tripoli,
we can sail, we can sail
(sail away, sail away, sail away)
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea,
we can sail, we can sail
(sail away, sail away, sail away)
From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
we can sail, we can sail
(sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can reach, we can beach,
far beyond the Yellow Sea,
we can sail, we can sail
(sail away, sail away, sail away)
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
we can sail, we can sail.
(sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can sail, we can sail.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.
Sail away, sail away, sail away.

I saw Def Leppard in concert 6 months ago.....
Many bands where the lead singers hit high notes crumple when singing live, especially after they've been at it for awhile, as you only have so many strained high notes in your voice, but they did a great job of hitting most of them....and they were awesome...
Of course, if I was still 14 years old, I would say; "The Scorps Rule dude!" lol

I saw only of few concerts growing up. Found crowds overbearing, over the years my taste changed. My siblings were quite a bit older and while my friends were rocking out to Van Headache (Never cared for them, I hate cover bands) I was listening to Van Morrison. I knew who Robert Johnson was long before most relized the real roots of some of thier favorite songs, it was trip playing orginal tunes to the remakes they thought were orginal...priceless.
I liked Metal but once it was main stream and eveyone started becoming lemmins, I found new stuff, mostly older, Stray Cats blew me away, I love that sound, pushed me towards blues and jazz. Cats Stevens lyrics were great and taught me how to listen closer. Van Morrison opened my eyes to new styles and because each album he seems to be trying something a little diffrent, I got hooked. I recently have been hooked on Richard Thompson (actually saw and met him a few monthes ago - Look up 1952 Vincent Black Lighting on youtube) KT Tunstal (sp) is interesting and has some great lyrics. There is always my angry rock-a-billy Mojo Nixon , who can forget"Debbie Gibson is pregnant with my Two-headed love child" or "I'm living with a 3 foot Anti-Christ"
Oh look I am rambling again and have to stop now.... more later.....
