Hollies - one of my favorite groups. And that song is a great one.

I grew up in Rhode Island. But I was able to get this station from Cleveland on my transistor radio. I think it was called WKYC?

I used to regularly listen to it as they played music that I was not hearing in Rhode Island.

Since it is now over 55 years ago and my memory is now fuzzy, it was either the Hollies doing "Bus Stop" or "Look Through Any Window" (I'm thinking the latter) that this Cleveland station played for about four months before it got played on the Rhode Island stations. Absolutely loved that song. Still do!

Of course we all know that Graham Nash from the Hollies went on to much bigger things. Have read some books on Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and some of them give information about the Hollies in the context of telling us about Nash's life.

There used to be a video available on them via Amazon Prime (for free) that I'm no longer seeing. But it mostly covered their reunion, their overt opposition to the 2003 Iraq War, and the reception they received to that when playing shows in the South - people walking out.

After I read that book about them last fall I sent a Tweet to David Crosby and asked him if the book had fairly portrayed him. I was actually quite surprised (shocked) when he responded that he had NOT read it!

If you like David Crosby, there was a really good autobiographical docudrama he did. I got it free from the library back when those were open, but it is available for streaming on Amazon for a fee. David Crosby: Remember My Name
I have bought all his books and have read some of them.

He fit in well with both the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young.

So like him as part of the two above teams. But on his own I don't hold him to be a great talent. Big time drug user! Was his own worst enemy for long portions of his life. Glad he's turned a lot of things around.

Had never prior heard of Justin Moore until a few minutes ago when I picked a CD of his to listen to for the first time ever.

This was the second song on it: Guns

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5YrbZLoq84

Seems like its lyrics would strike a chord with many here?

Me? Until I moved to this area from Rhode Island I thought only police and the "bad" guys had guns. Had no idea regular people owned guns. The first and only time I fired a gun was when I was about 31.

Disclaimer: I do have a BB rifle in my living room which I bought in the early 80s for target shooting. Probably the last time it was used and have no idea where the BBs are in this house.

How far do the police have to go miles/time wise to get to your house? Let me know how that works out for you when the bad guys come knockin' (hmmm, that could be the makings of a Country music song - or gangsta rap). Unless your cats are attack cats (lions or tigers). ;D I'm thinking you really did grow up in liberal, big bro gonna' save me from everything land.

They are on my street. Fire / Police combination complex setup. I'd say they are 3 miles/ 5 minutes away tops.

One time, last decade, there was someone shining a flashlight through my front door. I called the police. They told me it was them! A neighbor has called them complaining about the music that was playing in my garage.

And, I just recounted to someone how I was charged with a felony - illegal possession of a narcotic - in December 1972 and did not get to go to court until May 1975. Vice squad guy who arrested me and made those charges lied about all in his police report. I was totally innocent. I was looking forward to my time in court for us to look eye to eye and have him lie to my face. Fortunately, it worked out perfectly for me that day in court when I told the judge exactly what had happened contrary to the official police report. He evidently believed me 100% and I emerged with nothing on my record, not even that I'd been arrested. Might you not think that that from that experience I'd not have high expectations of the police and that they might be the opposite? On the other hand I've had up to three present or future members of the police force be on my softball teams.

I'll leave it to nother discussion why I really don't want to have a real gun in my house.

Far from it! I'm in good shape for my age. But I'm not going to scare ANYONE! I do, however, have a metal baseball bat in the living room that I'd use if it came down to it.

Note the lack of ventilator at the beginning. There are gas masks and guitar vamping later. Very prescient.
