I don't know whether it is the delayed effect of all the many long haul overnight flights I have taken recently but I am currently struggling to persuade my mind and body to turn up in the same place at the same time.
One consequence of that is an inability to come up with interesting ideas for posts. So in the absence of anything approaching inspiration I latched on to 'Romeo' from the Max Romeo tribute in my previous post.
Here are loads of songs about Romeos (with and without Juliets) and a couple by Romeos. Enjoy!
"Romeo's Tune" - Steve Forbert
"She Took Off My Romeos" - David Lindley & El Rayo-X
"Romeo And Juliet" - Michael & The Messengers
"Romeo Had Juliette" - Lou Reed
"Weathered Romeo" - Sis
"I'm No Romeo" - Billy Stewart
"Goodbye Romeo" - Tara Priya
"Romeo" - Lord Kitchener
"Mulamba" - Romeo Dika
"Undercover Kept" - Roneo Void
Mr Big were technically the first band I ever saw as they were the support act for Queen at the Glasgow Apollo 1975
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the theme for today I was hoping you would not choose that video. I am disappointed.
ReplyDeleteWe aim to displease
DeleteMr. Big (basically Dicken and Pete Crowther) transmogrified into Broken Home. And their debut album remains one of my Top 10 albums of all time.

DeleteI just disappointed George. You are actively antagonising him.
DeleteCould have been worse? You mean something Dire?
ReplyDeleteRe: "an inability to come up with interesting ideas for posts"... you do better than me!
ReplyDeleteEnough of this false modesty. You have two of the most interesting and revered features in the whole of Blogdom.
DeleteSteve Forbert's Romeo's Tune is one of those under the radar and criminally little known great tracks......but thankfully not to you. There are of course several thousand 'under the radar and criminally little known great tracks' which in some ways makes them sweeter still to those of us in the know!
ReplyDeleteI feel I should own up to that last anonymous post
