Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 19 Feb

Not much to report from yesterday, just some driving and visiting tornado memorials from the 2011 Super Outbreak. I also took a nap in the new car, and I need a softer pad. I’m off to sites in Montgomery today, but...

Alcohol Top Ten: Whiskey in the Jar (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 8 Jun 22

Gee, I keep bouncing between tequila and whiskey. That’s okay, it’s about the song, not the booze mentioned in the title. (Do that in real life and you may have a headache for a month or two. ) I’m sure a few people...

Jail/Prison Top Ten: Jailbreak (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 9 May 20

Hey, didn’t I already use a song with that title? Why, yes! Songs are copyrighted, but the titles are not. Of all things, there are two different songs titled “Pick Me Up on Your Way Down.” WHAT? Oh, well, here’s...

Wish I'd Seen 'Em #8 - Phil Lynott

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43567) • Denver, Colorado 26 Oct 18

Wish I'd Seen 'Em. It's a musical series about musicians that I wish I'd seen in concert, because they are now deceased, and I missed out. We are at #8: Phil Lynott (1949-1986.) Phil Lynott was best known as the...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 25 May 17

Into the top five I sail after a long day at the VA, having a pulmonary function test and a pulmonary appointment. The results were good, thank God: no sign of COPD or any lung obstruction, just bad asthma. They're going to try...

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43567) • Denver, Colorado 21 Oct 16

An idea I've stolen from @norcal from Bubblews, my Favorite Alcohol Songs series, see's Thin Lizzy's version of "Whiskey in the Jar" at #9. Led by the late Phil Lynott (vocals/bass,) Thin Lizzy is (the band still tours without...

Favorite 70's One-Hit Wonders #4 - "The Boys are Back in Town."

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43567) • Denver, Colorado 9 Jul 16

Thus far, we've had a little R&B, some funk, a punk poet went mainstream, and a little singer/songwriter action, so it just begs that classic rock would eventually enter the fray. I'm talking about my Favorite 70's One-Hit Wonders...

Gary Moore/Phil Lynott, Together At Last

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 8 Feb 11

I was shocked to hear of Gary Moore's death the other day, found dead in some hotel room. The Sun newspaper are already saying that he had a major drink problem. He wouldn't be a rocker if he didn't! F*ck 'em! He was a man,...
