The drumming on A Question Of Balance takes me right back.

Here is another one from that same week. Not a big JM fan, but I like him. He screwed up the lyrics a bit, but I thought his guitar licks were cool.
“I grew up a few miles from Harmony Park in Anaheim. I hitch hiked up/down Harbor Blvd to Newport almost daily. On a return hitch one day I was picked up by a guy in a new Cadillac. I was already playing sax in a surf band and the guy asked if I’d ever heard of Dick Dale. Of course I had, Dick was the Hendrix of that era. At a stop light the guy hit a button on the dash and from under the glovebox a drop down record player appeared. He said,”Here’s Dick’s new single” and he played “Let’s Go Trppin’” through the “Caddy’s “ sound system. It ends up, the driver was Dick Dale’s father!
He dropped me off in front of Harmony Park, and left me a lifelong memory.”
This is from a discussion of the ventures and amps I encountered…

The demographics must skew very boomer here. Not a lot of metal heads either. I love Motörhead, White Zombie and Rage Against the Machine. I bought a peloton early in the pandemic when I couldn’t get to my gym. I have heard a decent amount of new to me music on my rides. One band that I’ve come to enjoy is the Struts and I have a new found appreciation for Wyclef Jean.

Add something. I think this song thread is diverse.

I’m not a boomer.
I listen to (and enjoy) those bands, as well as nearly every other genre out there.
I answered the question while on a break from working at home, where I listen to very different music than I do in other situations. The question was phrased as in the current time, so that’s how I answered.
At other times, in other moods, you will get other answers, none if which would let you guess my actual demographic.

Diverse in music tastes. Diverse in food taste.
Ok. I’m up for a little sleuthing. If I recall from your postings over time, you’ve lived and worked in France and have at least one child who is at least in the teens by now. Eclectic music tastes. Most likely would make you gen X. Maybe an early millennial but your writings make me think not.
I hope you’ll contribute!
Why do we have to fit into a category?
Can we not just like what we like completely independently of what somebody thinks we ought to like nor dislike based solely on a data point, especially when it doesn’t impact anybody else’s life at all?
If I want to listen to an endless loop of what it sounds like when someone dumps a bucket of marbles, that’s what I’m going to listen to. For as long as I want to.

I cook often to this Rae Khalil Tiny Desk performance. It gets my creative juices flowing.

Did you know that this was written as a bank commercial by Paul Williams?

And y’all are some serious music folks, so this is probably nothing new, but I can’t stop watching/listening to these two since I first heard of them a year ago. And to keep it on the food tip, cooking with them in the foreground.

The video is a bit campy but the music in my opinion is phenomenal.
I am sad that the Darkness only had two albums.
Another fav is Lemmy and Motörhead.

Then there is one of my all time favorites Rage. Some of the lyrics will likely offend/shock the more sensitive.
I had tickets for their reunion tour last august at the garden. Sadly a casualty of the pandemic. Also in the time before Morello got full of himself.
