  1. On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round

    And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found

    The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone

    She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone

    Bad to the bone

    Bad to the bone

    B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone

    B-B-B-B-Bad

    B-B-B-B-Bad

    Bad to the bone

    I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you

    I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through

    I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone

    I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone

    Bad to the bone

    B-B-B-Bad

    B-B-B-Bad

    B-B-B-Bad

    Bad to the bone

    I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal

    I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal

    I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone

    I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone

    B-B-B-B-Bad

    B-B-B-B-Bad

    B-B-B-B-Bad

    Bad to the bone

  2. Hendix, Live in LA or West coast. Can't remember exactly the name. My father bought that back then

    I'd love to know what the name of the album is. I didnt care for Rainbow Bridge. But Band of Gypsies with Buddy Miles, live at the Filmore East, is the best live Hendrix Album I've ever heard... But his performance of Wild Thing at the Monterrey Pop Festival is probably his best live filmed performance

  3. he's too old to remember

    Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

    I said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

    You know in the old days

    When a young man was a strong man

    All the people they'd step back

    When a young man walked by

    But you know nowadays

    It's the old man,

    He's got all the money

    And a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

    I said nothing

    :lol:

    Jan. 23, 2005  |  NEW YORK (AP) -- Bob Dylan, the unofficial poet laureate of the rock 'n' roll generation, has now been officially placed alongside such literary greats as Philip Roth and Adrienne Rich, not to mention biographies of Shakespeare and Willem de Kooning. All were among nominees announced Saturday for the National Book Critics Circle prizes.

    Dylan, whose memoir "Chronicles, Vol. 1" was a favorite with both reviewers and readers, is among the finalists for biography/autobiography

    GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS:

    30 YEARS OF ROCKIN’ AND

    STILL GOING STRONG

    What do you do for an encore when you’ve been at the top of your profession for thirty years? If you’re George Thorogood & The Destroyers you probably take a deep breath and dive right back into the life you’ve known best for three decades. As the band crisscrosses the country and hops the Atlantic to bring the celebration of their accomplishment to a legion of die-hard fans, EMI/Capitol Records marks the occasion in their own special way—with the release of George Thorogood & The Destroyers: The Best 30 Years Of Rock. The sixteen song, single CD compilation, features their biggest singles, from “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”, “Move It On Over” and “Bad To The Bone” to “Born To Be Bad”, “Get A Haircut” and “American Made.”

    “When we first started, none of us had any idea we’d still be going strong for this long. It’s truly living a dream.” That dream has taken many forms since their first gig at Lane Hall on the U of Delaware campus. In the early years, the Destroyers got the chance to open for idols such as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters and Hound Dog Taylor. The support and encouragement they received from these veterans fueled their enthusiasm and bolstered their confidence. George and original Destroyer, drummer Jeff Simon, experimented with different musicians before tapping bassist Bill Blough to join them in 1976. The trio has played with different combinations over the years, but made a permanent addition of guitarist, Jim Suhler in 2000. Currently, saxophone player, Buddy Leach rounds out the unit. When the Destroyers’ first album on Rounder Records yielded hit singles, the band made a quantum leap in terms of recognition and peer respect. The legendary Bill Graham approached the band on behalf of The Rolling Stones and asked them to open a series of dates for the British rockers.

    The Destroyers would have been happy to accept Graham’s offer to remain on the road with the Stones indefinitely save for one thing—an American tour that eventually would go into the history books as the 50-50 TOUR. This ambitious bit of scheduling took the band to every state in the U.S. in a remarkable seven weeks, one day (50 days). No one has since duplicated the feat—or even attempted it. As frenetic and exhilarating as the first phase of their career had been, The Destroyers ascended to an entirely new plateau when Thorogood’s own “Bad To The Bone” took the world by storm in 1982, spawning a video that became an instant favorite on new video channel, MTV and a staple on rock radio playlists that’s endured to the present day. “Bad To The Bone” (from the album of the same name) launched the band’s EMI era and a series of hit albums including Maverick, Thorogood Live, Born To Be Bad, Let’s Work Together, Boogie People, Collection, Haircut, The Baddest Of, Rockin’ My Life Away and Anthology.

    Throughout the 80s and 90s The Destroyers continued to cement their reputation as one of the hardest working, and most successful live attractions in rock. They headlined numerous tours and festivals in the U.S. and abroad and teamed with artists ranging from Steve Miller, ZZ Top and The Allman Brothers to Little Feat and BB King to bring their brand of rough and tumble rock and roll to the masses. With over 3000 live shows under their belts, the respect and admiration of their heroes and peers and a body of work that forms the foundation of their enduring popularity, The Destroyers look upon their success as a gift that keeps on giving—both to their fans and themselves. As the band launches an intensive tour to celebrate their career accomplishment of three decades on the road, they also look with pride on the music that has made those years so satisfying. But they want to make it clear that they’re not tempted to regardGeorge Thorogood & The Destroyers: The Best 30 Years Of Rock as their ultimate statement, merely a key element of a work still in progress.

    Thorogood sums up the Destroyers musical odyssey with a tip of his cap to the countless loyal supporters who’ve made their journey possible: “We’d never be in this position if it weren’t for our fans. They’re the real reason we keep going and as long as they want us, we’ll be there.”
