"Rock & roll is so great, people should start dying for it. You don't understand. The music gave you back your beat so you could dream...The people just have to die for the music."

Remembering #LouReed

Bruce Springsteen wrote this song and let it fly.
#PattiSmith caught it, made it her own and let it fly too. Since then "Because the Night" has been a bird that flies in our hearts and minds, highlighting our lives.

"I don’t have regrets. I can’t regret any of it. I’ve made huge mistakes, but I don’t regret any of it because it’s turned me into who I am now."

"It's not country, it's not blues, it's not rock, we just do what we do." #MargoTimmins Few bands can put across dark truths like that – epiphanies of futility rendered with a lovely languor – as alluringly as the #CowboyJunkies
The Caution Horses released #OnThisDay March 1, 1990.

Maybe their best work indeed hand in hand with Snow Goose. Hard to choose only one Camel album. 👍😀

Totally with you. 👍

Camel released their second album almost a year to the day after their debut.
#OnThisDay March 1, 1974 #Camel released ‘Mirage’: the album that brought Camel into focus.

"I think maybe that’s another piece of advice I can offer—know when to take care of yourself. If you feel like you need to stop, then stop. If you don’t take care yourself in your personal life, your real life, you won’t be any good to anyone else."
Happy birthday to #CindyWilson #TheB52s
