I see.
Lots of rockin' riffs ripped:
I love this George Harrison song:
Which sounds a lot like this great classic by The Chiffons (fun to listen to it again):

I like that song too, Clang. My favorite Offspring song (I may have posted it way upthread too, can't remember):P.s. My "Basketcase" and "No Self-Esteem" references were reflections on those who've come and gone, but apparently keep whining, bullshitting, and bitching elsewhere loooong after the fact. PLUS, I really like both of those songs.

Can you explain why they continue to lurk & at times try to gain access? Who the hell intentionally goes to a place they hold in such low regard? That doesn't even make a little bit of sense. Yet, daily, there they are. Oh look, there's one now.

Assuming that they have some power of self-reflection, the "Basketcase" lyrics sum it right up.
I think some people like being self-destructive, ass-sore, lying, basketcases - wear it like a badge.
Others just accept that they're losers and are too lazy and apathetic to do better, rather dwell in it.
The anthem for the latter group:
In either case, reliving the last lose is probably like picking at a scab; just kinda have to do it.

I don't know if you've ever heard this Hendrix cover, but it's a good one and fit for you:
RE: Living in the past? - HairOfTheDog - 11-10-2012
Which reminded me of this Terry Kath tribute to Hendrix - awesome. For Maggot.
RE: Living in the past? - Duchess - 11-10-2012
Yup, you're a genius.
I like ZZ Top a lot, like Zeppelin they made no bad music. Thanks!
RE: Living in the past? - HairOfTheDog - 11-10-2012
I love Led Zeppelin - still listen to them daily.
And still have a Robert Plant poster hanging in my sunroom. In high school, I kinda dreamed 'bout making lemonade a lot.

When I was 19, my first boss (probably mid-late 30's) loved the Lemon Song.
Awesome!

Heavy work schedule this afternoon and it's beautiful outside.
I don't wanna work...

I guess I'm a weirdo...This one is my favorite. It's sad as fuck, and a real party killer...

He is a crazy (and entertaining) guy, but agree that he's also one helluva serious bassist.
Here's one my favorite bassists ever - love her stuff:
RE: Living in the past? - HairOfTheDog - 11-13-2012
memories...
RE: Living in the past? - Midwest Spy - 11-13-2012
Memories, light the corners of my mind.
Misty, water-colored memories, of the way we were.
Babs was actually pretty good-lookin' back in the day.
Edit: How could I forget. Katherine Ross, too!
RE: Living in the past? - HairOfTheDog - 11-13-2012
Katherine Ross is still beautiful, imo. And she's married to a dream man.
"She's not There" by the Zombies.
Have a good afternoon...

Sam Elliott. Hubba! Hubba!
I could listen to him read a phone book.
