I may be the only person on this site who still listens to the Strawbs in some of my playlists, and now I’m intrigued at your ‘slight involvement’…do tell, if you can!

As I have PM’d to @chgoliz - sorry, not keen to tell more here, however safe it might be. Details might identify me to someone who knew me, however unlikely any of them are to be here.

That’s … dammit, now I’m crying!

I like Ozzy’s music, although I don’t think I’d ever list him in my favorites, and as others have mentioned, he did some really crappy things, but I’m really glad to have seen these clips. That was a hell of a good thing for both the kids and Ozzy. (I loved his expressions watching them perform! You could tell that was really touching him deeply.)

Thank you for sharing!

Oh no, that goes in the other one, for sure! He’s a racist trumper asshole.

I put a link to your post here and then added Steve Shives video about the Hulkster and how much of a garbage human he was!

This cheers me up a bit!

Aw man… I heard “Feels So Good” in June 1978, on a school bus during a field trip to the Vanderbilt Planetarium a few days before school ended. After that, the song always suggested the beginning of summer.

A couple years later, “Give It All You Got” was a big hit, & the theme song for the 1980 Winter Olympics. I got tired of it six years later, when I worked at Six Flags & they were (still) using it as background music (also “One” from A Chorus Line). But eventually it grew on me.

My sister was in a dance recital & they did a routine to this long song about balloons, which 10 or so years later, I figured out was “Land of Make Believe:”

I played the trumpet in high school and college. Mangione was a hero of sorts to those of us who played the horn. RIP.
