Mansion on the Hill was actually co-written by Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young, while they were hanging out at Neil's ranch, sippin' on California wine and Kentucky whiskey. They both recorded this song and released it on their albums--"Nebraska" for Bruce, and "Ragged Glory" for the Neil. Same song, they just remembered it differently*. Rumor has it that the British group Alabama 3 was (were?) also present when the song was written, but those rumors are unconfirmed. *Footnote: Astute music aficionados among you may have recognized that I adapted this joke from Greg Brown, who had a long intro to his and Petula Clark's song "Downtown." That intro explained (on Greg's album "One Night") that Greg and Petula bumped into each other on a rainy day in London town, and they escaped to Petula's flat, where they had a few drinks, discovered they had a shared interest in music, and commenced to write "Downtown." Each artist released their own version of the song, although the tune and lyrics were quite different. Same song, they just remembered it differently. That's just how some things go. Same deal, we just remembered it differently.
So beautifully done. The music was so perfect. I love this movie. Alain was his most beautiful self and his acting was so very top notch. Thank you so much for this. Cheers
Alain Delon tra i Vitelloni riminesi più di 20 anni dopo. Ma qui, tutti hanno perso l'innocenza. E i vitelloni si sono incanagliti. Tanto vale per lui, andarsene per sempre. I sogni muoiono all'alba e la notte di quiete, non ha più sogni da vivere.
Rimini è la mia città da quando sono nata , ma non l’ho mai vista così bella e malinconica come I grande Zurlini l’ha fatta apparire un questo film ….. indimenticabile Delon … indimenticabile Rimini ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤬
I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Maurizio Pollini, in my view one of the greatest classical pianists of all time. From the time I first heard his beautiful and landmark recording of Chopin's Piano Concerto No 1, when still in his late teens, I was captivated by his mastery of light and shade in his playing. He evoked a strong and sometimes overwhelming emotional response with his interpretations and I only wish I could have seen him more often in his illustrious career. My late wife and I were privileged to attend a wonderful concert he gave at the Royal Festival Hall in London a few decades ago - a programme predominantly of pieces by Chopin and Liszt. At the interval, literally with tears rolling down our faces with the beauty and sensitivity of his playing, we stood on the balcony of the RFH - looking across the River Thames - and said to each other that we were indeed fortunate to be in the presence of such a magnificent musician, at the height of his powers and playing a programme of music that will live in our memories forever. You will never be forgotten, maestro Pollini, and your legacy is there for all to enjoy.
Keith always had/ has an element of "classical "technique in his purely improvised playing . He is often so emotionally clear and therefore he translates those feelings to the listener really effectively and efficiently.
RIP Lou Reed, I was just thinking about him, because I have been obsessed with the Raconteurs Steady As She Goes & the Jim Jarmouch directed video, it reminds me of the Little Willie’s song “Lou Reed”, my favorite line is Nora’s line “like Fellini”, and her old boyfriend sings, “no, more like Jim Jarmoush”…and I love Tom Waits❤❤❤❤❤❤I kept misspelling Waits, lol, oops. Bumbershoot was incredible, it was Labor Day weekend for 30-40 years, but they brought this dickhead in to manage Bumbershoot, because of his terrible decisions, Bumbershoot went under immediately, sadly, I watched it happen, because we used to Volunteer there sometimes and I kept getting ridiculous emails from the dickhead, as I’m certain everyone did, he ruined a fantastic music festival, not just one festival, also Folklife in May, Memorial Day Weekend, both are no more…
Oh I can’t wait to see this video!!❤ How did you get Lou Reed? We were so lucky, we saw Lou Reed in 2002, at Bumbershoot in Seattle, our kids grew up seeing great musicians in concert all the time, because we have great music festivals up here, Lou was the headliner that night, we actually didn’t know who would be at Bumbershoot that year. Lou was touring for his last album, all the songs were dedicated to Edgar Allen Poe. When he did Walk On The Wild Side, I supplied the Doo Doo Doo Doos, for all the colored girls!! We held our youngest son on our shoulders so he could see.
🙏 for this video collaboration, esp since you included the info on the songs, artists, and albums they are on! I’m 70ish, and before today had never heard of ‘Mansion’ - a 💟 song by Bruce. Now I need to find that album so I can save it 🥰!
Będąc kilka dni na Ul.Kasprzaka 56c w Dąbrowie Górniczej bardzo lecz to bardzo lubiłem niebieski kolor Naprawdę nie wiem po co kupowałem nawet niebieski ręcznik teraz jestem w Toruniu , Owszem połączony z czerwienią prawdziwa czysta rodzi wspomnienia młodości piękna ,lecz co istotne można nie lubić np czerwieni bo są tacy ludzie ja nie mogę napisać iż czerwień jest zła jest kolorem pięknej burzy mozaika piękna młodzieńczych lat , powściągliwości tajemnicy piękna.
The only channel in the galaxy that spans from Springsteen to Penderecki and everything else, apparently... you are amazing and I don't know where these photographs come from but it's really awesome
