CLASSIC ROCK FANS , What Song Puts You in Mind of This Season's Bengals

[Cuzz from England]

For anyone who likes British indie music of the 1990s there's a brilliant band from York called shed seven, their song " it's getting better" certainly fits the bill. If I knew how to put up a link to YouTube for it I would, but I don't so I won't.

The greatest artist on my generation:

Gets used a lot but lyrics fit us pretty good.

Back when Dayton had minor league hockey, that was the tune they'd play during the second intermission while the Zamboni made its rounds.  I heard them play that song hundreds of times.  

That's it, I'm getting a little verklempt

I liked a lot of Elton John stuff, but I never considered him one of my top favorites.  But my daughter became a huge Elton John fan and I started to listen to a lot of his stuff again.  I appreciate him more now than I did back then.  

He is one of the greats.

One of my favorite Santana songs. Very fitting!

Like everyone else who lived through the 80's I am sure that a couple of things about the current Bengal team immediately bring to mind two big hits by that 80's monster hitmaker James Taylor.

Regarding the Super Bowl appearance, these lines from "Fire and Rain" seem most apropos.  .  .  

I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.

And, of course, whenever a Bengal fan sees Burrow's impish grin these lines from "You've Got a Friend" come to mind.

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

And finally, as I contemplate Mike Brown winning his first playoff game ever and now finding himself in the Super Bowl I keep hearing ths strains of a song from another musical giant of the 80's Dan Fogleburg.  Can't you all just imagine Mike thinking about his father's legacy and softly signing to himself these lines from "Leader of the Band"

He earned his love through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul

My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band



I am especially moved by the line about blood running through my instrument.  

'80's music rules!!!

I've seen Elton about a half dozen times in concert. Never disappoints.

Call me crazy but there is just something magical about this Burrow guy.  He has the face of a HS kid, that impish grin , and those eyes that lets you know that HE knows another opponent is about to be buried. It's like the guy just wills it into existence. He wants it, expects that it will happen, and, allows the Universe to manifest his desire. And his attitude seems to rub off on his teammates.
The guy has won our hearts and , I tell you, he CAN do magic !!!

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you


I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt


You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay

[Jugular Joe]

We are the Champions by Queen.

It's happening.

Burrow is the Man !!!   As we clearly saw last Sunday , no need to fear the Reaper.


One of my favorite songs of all-time(with or without more cowbell) 

[Forever Spinning Vinyl]

Probably the most mature song David Lee Roth wrote outside of Van Halen. Great 80s ballad and it got little to no airplay. I was shocked when his label never pushed it as a single and also later when they left it off of his album, "Best".
The theme throughout the song:
Those were good times
These are good times
We'll be having good times
The maker of this video is a Van Halen fan paying tribute. Kind of sad in a few parts with the passing of Eddie.




Time rolls on
And that's as it should be
Here and gone
Seems to move so quickly

Man, we was happy in our restless hearts
It was heaven right here on Earth
Yeah, we were laughin' as we reached for the stars
And we had some for what it was worth

Those were good times
Damn good times
Those were good times
Damn good times

Hey, take a look at this picture
Can you believe that was you?
And who's that standin' there in the corner?
Not me
Ahh, the crazy things we used to do

Sure, we was acting like a couple of kids
Good to remember, you know that it is
I still feel it like the sun on my skin
Maybe that's better

'Cause these are good times
Damn good times
Talkin' 'bout good times
Damn good times

So it's one for the money - 31 years! Raiders
But that don't make the show, no no - Titans
Count to three and I'll be ready, yeah - Chiefs
To follow that road, yes I will - To the Super Bowl

I see it comin', yeah, and this one is ours
We got heaven right here on Earth
Ain't nothin' like it when you're reachin' for stars
And you grab one for what it is worth - or you can grab two if you get the chance

You can tell 'em
We'll be having good times
Damn good times
I'm talkin' good times, yessir
Damn good times

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, good times
Mmm, mmm, mmm, good times
Mmm, mmm

DLR was something else. Remember the VH song, "Jump"?

Diamond Dave said he was watching a news story on TV about a man threatening to kill himself by jumping off a building. People down below were trying to talk the man out of jumping. Dave thought to himself, "Might as well jump." LOL
