Nobody Flashes Billy Joel’s PRESSURE!
Nobody Flashes
One of my favorite New Yorkers, one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite New Yorker. The words to this song could be applied to the ‘progressives’ losing their minds at every Trump Tweet.
I posted the concert, because I like how they have the stage set up. Also, Billy Joel has a special talent for putting intelligent words to music, not an easy task. I also LOVE the way he juxtapose the background repeating sequence…sort of Beethoven like.
BUT, here is the original version, which is pretty much a nightmare.
ENJOY!
Joe Hiden…Can We Call You Al? ..whoa…whoa…whoa…yeah…!
Nobody Flashes
Let’s just get away from it all..shall we? First version, second version…Can I call Joe Biden Al? I can’t help it. Listen to the words and tell me it doesn’t remind you of Joe Biden at his press conference today.
“Where is my wife and family? What if I die here?” “Who’ll read my prompter, once my prompter is gone…gone..”
If the words fit, you must admit…it sounds like Al IS Joe.
And then, when you’re locked up with your wife at home…Jensen and wife. Oh, and by the way, there is ONE thing Jensen forgot to do that Paul Simon did. …see if you can pick it out…not that I care. He such a great actor. And sorry, Danneel is pretty good, but she just doesn’t have that stupid funny face of Chevy at his prime. (And I’m sure Jensen is very glad of that.)
Enjoy!
Nobody Flashes American Music While I Still Can
Nobody Flashes:
They can burn down our cities, erase our history, tear down our statues, and threaten us all to NOT GET CLOSE…
But they are NEVER going to make us forget…our favorite American Music.
Enjoy!
Nobody Flashes GOOD Things CAN Happen in Lockdown.
Nobody Flashes
A father and his daughter, at home. Jensen is pretty famous, but here he is just a simple man, with a simple song, and what matters to him I’m sure more than fame and fortune.
His little girl. She’s going to be a real beauty.
Just…sweetness.
By the way, from a woman who sang in bars for more years than I can remember…Jensen’s has a really great country voice.
Nobody Flashes the Great Bonnie Raitt
Nobody Flashes,
One of my favorite singers. One of my favorite musicians.
One of my favorite songs…
The great Bonnie Raitt, with Bruce Hornsby on piano.
Nobody Flashes “They are MEN!” And They Are From the Ukriane
Nobody Flashes
Another one of my favorite songs, and I LOVE the drummer! The guitar player is hot too.
I heard the original Chicago preform this song years ago right after it came out. At the Southern Illinois University Campus. I think it went on for a good 30 minutes.
We boomers had some really great music.
This is a great song. Fantastic rhythm…GREAT band. If you can’t feel the beat in this one, check your pulse.
Still beating? Then enjoy!
Nobody Flashes a Little Joy
Nobody Flashes’
Sometime, somewhere on the internet I must have admitted that this is one of my favorite songs.
And there it was tonight: Right there for me to pick out and post.
At least it wasn’t a commercial for dog food.
Enjoy.
Nobody Flashes: Singing Contractors
Nobody Flashes
So, something tells me these two won’t be doing contractor work for TOO long.
Can you imagine hearing these guys working at your house and practicing?
Enjoy!
When Perfection is Perfection.
Nobody Flashes
Remember the days when singers didn’t have to be so nasty about politics?
Well…this was some time ago, but as a former singer I can’t help but admire the perfection of both Mike and Barbara.
This was one of my mother’s favorite songs, and just for a moment, I can forget what an idiot she is, and marvel at the notes.
After all, I had to sing her songs in many a piano bar. In fact, one newspaper reporter wrote that I did a pretty good Barbara Streisand. Ha ha ha, I can laugh now.
I don’t think she ever had a better blend with him.
So…Enjoy!
Nobody Flashes Carol of the Bells
Nobody Flashes
This is probably on many people’s bucket list.
I thought it might get us all warmed up for the Holidays.
Enjoy!
Nobody Flashes: What a Fool Believes
Nobody Flashes
This is one of my favorite songs. I can’t for the life of me figure out what it’s about…something about he was in love with someone long ago and THINKS she still loves him, but she really doesn’t…I don’t know. You tell me.
Mike is from Ferguson, MO. Yes THAT Ferguson. I used to go see him in his first band here in St. Louis when I was 16, in a club called THE CASTAWAYS. And I played in bands with many of the musicians that he grew up playing with.
That’s how long he’s been singing. He didn’t play piano then, he was the lead singer of the Sheratons. He left this town and went on to the Doobie Brothers and the rest is history.
The neighborhood where he grew up is very pretty. Almost plantation looking houses.
I love his voice. It’s almost painful to watch him sing, but there it is.
The piano and bass lines on this is so…original. That man can SING.
Mike…IS an original. Showing that good things did come out of Ferguson. And this version is…one I just saw.
Enjoy.
Nobody Flashes Gloria And Other Happy News
Nobody’s Flashes
This is the song that the blues took to the Stanley Cup.
Somewhere in my basement, I have a video of me singing this song in a nightclub, back when VHS was all the rage.
And I was going to post THAT, but to have it transferred to a format where I could get it on computer would take a month.
Anyway, someday, I just might post that.
In the mean time, St. Louis tomorrow will have a great time, singing this song and celebrating GOOD news for a change.
And since Sunday is Father’s Day, I just couldn’t help NOT posting this adorable conversation between a dad and his son. Dad and his son completely understand each other.
Proving you do not need to know how to talk to get your point across.
Sweet Music for a Sunday Afternoon
Nobody Flashes
Okay. I guess this didn’t get on Zuckerface’s radar.
Where’s my campfire?
Enjoy!
(Thanks to ‘g’ man)
You Have to HEAR This to Believe It
Nobody FlashesÂ
You have to SEE and HEAR this to believe it.
Incredible.
I can’t even imagine when this kid started to get this good.
All I can say is “God” is good.
We can thank him for giving us this talent.
Enjoy!
(Once again, thanks to ‘g’ man.)
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
