They're a great band. I didn't appreciate them enough until I read about the National Liberation Front in Algiers and terrorism that took place in the Casbah. Prior to that I vaguely knew a Casbah was some type of city in Islamic countries.

Whatchu playing Mister D? I'm down for some Stravinsky or Chopin if that's your flavor!

My father was there and in the Belgian Congo. He was wounded as part of Dutch UN peacekeeping force. Don't ask me why he was attached to a Dutch outfit.

The video for Rock the Casbah is one of my earliest childhood memories of MTV. That was back in the 80s when MTV used to actually play music. :rollseyes: I was 6 I believe when that video first aired. I used to watch MTV for hours every afternoon. I hate their version of I Fought the Law though. It's dreadful.

That's interesting, D. He must have a lot of good stories about those times.

Hardly ever mentions it and I pried a little as a kid but when I grew up I realized there must be a reason for that...

MTV sucked by the mid 1990s, IMO. They had this show called The Headbangers Ball which I tried to catch when I was into metal but that was the end of my interest.

From what I understand they still have the Headbangers Ball really late at night when everyone is playing paid programming. I saw that once or twice but what I heard isn't really much of the metal I'm interested in.

My favorite musician, John Darnielle, has this little gem about the Anglo Saxons. He says that now he realizes how many errors he made. The 1066 date for the Norman invasion is right but I think I need an early history of England class to know the rest.

Yeah that would be really wrong. Part of what I like about htis guy is for a very long time, until he really started to make it, he'd just write songs about whatever the hell he was reading about and record them in his basement. I have over 1000 of his recordings. There are more that I don't have.

Nah but I've met him several times. He's out there now but for a long time he was just a part time indie musician and a full time psychiatric nurse.

Actually my forum handle comes from what he wrote on the back of my copy of the Satanic Messiah EP. We were hanging out after a show and talking about metal we liked and he recommended me the song "Kathaarian Life Code." HE was pretty drunk though, so it took me a while to figure out what he was trying to spell :laugh:

[Mister D]

I've only been to a sigle concert in my lfe and that was a Rage Against the Machine show in Phila, believe it or not.

Yeah, the older I get, the more I am like my dad. I don't like crowds very much.

I do like live music though, especially in a small intimate setting.

My son was at the Cleveland Clinic recently and a woman was going around playing guitar and singing requests for patients. We couldn't think of anything to request, so she played Sweet Child 'O Mine, and Sweet Home Alabama. Definitely NOT two of my faves. But she was fantastic, very enjoyable. :)

[KC]

I sometimes wish musicians and their fans would just stick to the music. Activism is overdone.

Darnielle does some activism, but most of it's non controversial. I went to his concert at Breastfest where all the proceeds went to breast cancer charities. It was a hell of a concert poster, might I add.

Yeah, he's a vegan, and he's done a few things for his farm charities. I'm a pretty active member of the Mountain Goats forums, where a bunch of us made a music compilation, sold copies at his shows and donated all the proceeds to sponsor a goat at some farm house charity.

If you want a free download though, you can get it here. My friends and I made track 5 "Mars":

I don't really care about vegan causes from an ethical standpoint but staying away from meat can be healthy and helps reduce the amount of biomass that is wasted on feed for animals.

Exactly! I only really like chicken and turkey, but every now and then I'll treat myself to a burger.

My best friend did tracks 8 and 10 too, you'll get a kick out of track ten if you have any sense of humor. That's the best one on the album imo, but they're all good.

Bruce Dickinson in a flight suit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_suit) while filming Flying Heavy Metal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Heavy_Metal).


Dickinson learned to fly recreationally in Florida in the 1990s[110] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTESorel-Cameron2007-110) and now holds an airline transport pilot's licence. He regularly flew Boeing 757s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_757) in his role as captain for the now-defunct UK charter airline (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline) Astraeus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astraeus_Airlines),[111] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWarwick2007The_Independent2011-111) which, from 16 September 2010, employed him as Marketing Director.[112] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMichaels2010Banham2010-112) One of his key roles in that position was to promote Astraeus' services by increasing their number of videos,[113] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBanham2010-113) leading to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Aviation_Authority_%28United_Kingdom%29) releasing a video featuring Dickinson on aircraft loading safety in June 2011.[114] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTECivil_Aviation_Authority2011-114) Following Astraeus' closure on 21 November 2011, Dickinson launched Cardiff Aviation Ltd on 1 May 2012, an aircraft maintenance business based at the Twin Peaks Hangar in St Athan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Athan), Vale of Glamorgan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vale_of_Glamorgan), South Wales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Wales).[115] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBBC_News_Online2012-115)
His role as a pilot has led to some high-profile flights, which include returning a group of British RAF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Air_Force) pilots from Afghanistan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan) in 2008,[116] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTEThe_Independent2008-116) 200 UK citizens from Lebanon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon) during the Israel/Hezbollah conflict (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Lebanon_War) in 2006,[117] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKNAC2006-117) and 180 stranded holiday makers from Egypt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt) following the collapse of XL Airways UK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XL_Airways_UK) in September 2008.[118] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGillan2008-118) In addition, he flew Rangers F.C.

Nerd alert.....

I'm listening to the final installment of the Wheel of Time series: A Memory of Light. :D

I like that sort of thing. Yesterday I also listened to the first episodes of Lars Brownworth's 12 Byzantine Rulers. Something Mister D recommended to me forever ago but I'm really starting to enjoy.

I don't realy know all that much about Byzantine history outside the crusading era so I found them informative.

Same here. I got up to the ones on Justinian, which I'm saving so I can listen to the three of them in a row. They got me inspired to start looking up more info on the Byzantine Empire though.

I have yet to get that far, but I look forward to it. Apparently it's been in and out of the top iTunes educational podcasts since it began. I guess a lot of people don't know much about the Byzantine Empire.

I wasn't referring specifically to the podcasts but he tells a good story.

I think that is true of most western Europeans and he touches on that gap, or even indifference, if I recall correctly.

One of my favorites from the Pogues is below. This one was done in conjunction with a famous English singer-songwriter name Kristy Macoll. Tragic story really, she was killed in a boating accident. She was in the water with her daughter, a boat was racing towards them and she had just enough time to throw her daughter out of the way before the boat hit and killed her.
