No football this weekend. It's the weekend between the conference title games and the Super Bowl.
We will watch the NHL All Star game from Montreal. It should be a fun game. It's great to see that Mike Modano will be on the roster. Again, I don't know why the NHL puts this game on the Versus channel. Isn't this game supposed to be about getting viewers?
On Saturday, we can watch the Aggies play basketball.
No football! So we have a little time to listen to some great songs.
Don McClean's biggest hit was "American Pie", one of the most saturated songs of the 1970's. It did not help that the song was over 8 minutes long!
My favorite McClean song was "Vincent". It is about the life and paintings of Vincent Van Gogh:
"In my life" is from "Rubber Soul", my favorite Beatles album. I guess that this song's wonderful lyrics have a special meaning as we get older and remember our friends:
The Beach Boys' harmonies are second to none. They were 3 brothers (Carl, Brian and Dennis Wilson), Al Jardine and Mike Love.
My favorite album is "Pet sounds", a very important record in rock history. It's hard to pick one. Nevertheless, I love "Wouldn't it be nice", another great song written and arranged by Brian Wilson:
"Country Lanes" is from The Bee Gees' MAIN COURSE album. It was also released as the US B-side of "Fanny, be tender with my love", one of three huge hits from this important album.
"Country Lanes" is one of my favorite compositions by the Gibb brothers. It is also a great lead vocal by Robin Gibb:
