After 9/11 I gave up Springsteen for Yanni.

[trumad]

Sort of a gut thing... I just feel Yanni is my peoples. I'm an odd Yanni listener because I never listened to him before 9/11----although maybe I heard him once in an elevator.

[underpants]

1. This makes me yawny

[SoCalMusicLover]

2. Give Up Springsteen?

That's where you lost me.

Was it the 9/11 influenced album "The Rising" that turned you off? Bruce was pretty outspoken during the Shrub years.

[trumad]

3. nah...

Felt he didn't respond to my liking after 9/11. Plus...I'm running for President.

[zappaman]

6. Did you officially announce?

Where can I get a yard sign?

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Sorta like indica versus sativa--

Why can't there be room for both Bruce & Yanni in life?

[Warren DeMontague]

39. Magic is a great album.

His album of Pete Seeger covers cooks, too. He's done some good work lately, pretty impressive for someone who has been at it for 4 decades.

Say what you will about the guy, he's a heavyweight of American Rock and Roll.

[tkmorris]

4. Trying to connect 9/11 with Springsteen or Yanni. Not seeing it.

Ah, gotcha. Post 3 cleared it right up.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

5. I switched to the pan flute stylings of The Great Zamfir on 9/12/01.

Didn't everyone?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. Oh spare me, you unpatriotic bastard! The So Called great Zamfir's a bum next

to Nana Moskouri.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

10. I really do learn something new every day.

She sold 300 million records and I'd never heard of her, at least to my recollection. But yeah, you have a point about that whole unpatriotic bastard thing.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. I'm laughing over here because you brought up a name I hadn't heard in over 20 years. When I

was a kid I'd watch TBS on cable and they ran commercials for both The Great Zamfir and Nana Moskouri pretty much back to back. That's how I even know those names.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

14. Me too.

But I guess in my area, we got Boxcar Willie commercials instead of Nana Moskouri commercials.

[OriginalGeek]

18. I remember Boxcar Willie and Zamfir

but never heard of Nana.

We also got a lot of Slim Whitman commercials.

[PADemD]

21. She has a beautiful voice.

Nana Mouskouri - Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (Full Album)

[LynneSin]

13. To me it was the great 3 octive falsetto country western sounds of Slim Whitman

I thought it was a natural progression after years of listening to Led Zeppelin, Queen, Yes, Rush, Greatful Dead and all the other great classic rock greats!

[OriginalGeek]

19. if only i had read

1 post further lol

[awoke_in_2003]

23. I started calling it "Freedom Flute" on 9/12/01. nt

[Politicalboi]

8. After 9/11 I turned to

FOLK SONGS OF THE FAR RIGHT WING

[HubertHeaver]

16. I want those CD's!

[progressoid]

17. That brings back memories.

Bad ones.

[leveymg]

37. I'd start paying for music again for that.

Lime Wire be damned.

[pipi_k]

43. And I turned to...

Wing.


AC/DC, eat your hearts out!!!!

[Jefferson23]

9. lol

[Rex]

12. A lot of things changed after 9/11. I stopped free ballin it.

I didn't want something to happen and my parents find out I shat my pantaloons. So I secured up with extra protection, in case the terrorists attacked my junk.

[awoke_in_2003]

24. Tom Petty wrote a song about Free Balling. nt

[Rex]

28. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he is the original free baller.

Although I could be way off and it is someone like Sting. Although Sting seemed to have a thing for underarmor when Young Stinger.


"I will slay the free baller for the Baron!"

[awoke_in_2003]

33. I can no longer hear Free Falling

without hearing Free Balling in my head

[beam me up scottie]

15. LMAO!

He's a Kristian who grew up in Texas but never listened to country music?

Sure, I believe him, because Kristians never lie...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. I turned to Yablo myself.

[malaise]

25. You are hilarious and very deep

[Snotcicles]

26. They will have pry Mr. Trololo out of my cold dead ears. Come on everybody sing along.

27. did the elevator ride last an eternity?

Yanni is to music as oatmeal is to fine cuisine

[Rex]

29. People need to get with the times. It is all Zlad now.

Due for a reboot they are.

[guillaumeb]

31. 3:05 NEVER seemed longer

and Yanni seems better now. Thanks, I think.

Time for some oatmeal

[Rex]

32. NP. Glad I could help. Just remember there is always something er

more horrible?

[SwissTony]

40. You guys do realise that clip was comedy, I hope?

Zlad there is a guy whose actual name is Santo Cilauro, a multi-talented Aussie comedian and writer. He and a couple of mates wrote a parody travel guidebook called "Molvania, a land untouched by modern dentistry".

[Rex]

41. Yes I did. He is hillarious.

I nearly fell out of my chair the first time I saw that video!

[Bonobo]

30. Good Lounge thread.

P.S. Look at meeee!

[trumad]

35. oh Bone...

Always following me like a little puppy dog.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

38. .

[HassleCat]

34. Wise Choice

Yanni can do that circular breathing thing, allowing him to play one note for several minutes. Can Springsteen do that? And he calls himself The Boss!

Anyway, it was great when the Reagan campaign used Bruce's Born in the USA at rallies. I guess they never listened to the lyrics, just the chorus. I thought they should have used Ian Drury's Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll.

[leveymg]

36. Is that a recycle, just to see how responses change over time?

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

[treestar]

42. LOL

I gave up all Foreign Bands like U2 and the Beatles. Will only listen to music made by Amurkans!
