    I also thought that Mick Taylor was the best thing that ever happened to the Stones.

     

    Any others come to mind?

     

     

    agreed!!!

     

    The Byrds hiring Clarence White gave McGuinn the guitar chops to be a formidable touring band in later the period.

    A.M. vs Anodyne

    A.M. has a kind rushed quality about it.............Anodyne to me is a classic break-up record........the subtlies(sic) in the

    in the Lyrics between Jeff and Jay reflects that.

    Why was it so important

    in Tongue-Tied Lightning

    Posted

    I was born in Florida, grew up in South Carolina, moved to Idaho and then Oregon for several years and thought I would never leave the great Northwest, especially with my wife working on a masters degree in Forest Hydrology. I loved it there, but I always missed Southern people. Oddly, my wife got a job in Atlanta, and I reluctantly came with her. We have been here ten years now and I hate the DAMN traffic and Smog and Heat, but I still love Southern people. You can say what you want about the South being full of racists and rednecks, they are here in abundance, but I haven't lived or visited too many places yet that don't have their share of equivalently misinformed and idiotic people. I call myself Southern, and proudly so, but not because I am loyal to the Confederacy. I love the people and the food (grits, sweet sweet tea, greens and BBQ), I love seeing people say Grace before eating, I love the hospitality and the person in front of me walking through a door looking back to see if someone else is coming. I don't hate the North, some of my best memories are visiting by crazy ass uncles in Maine and making fun of my cousins in Ohio for calling Coke Pop, but I love the South, and if I ever leave again, which is always a possibility, I know I will miss it.

     

    I have to stop now, my eyes are blurring from my sentimental tears.

     

     

    :cheers a sense a place makes you feel good........don't it???
