Like all of the above bands too, June. And yeah, Toto too, Rolo!! "Hold The Line" is a great song! Werent they all what the american DJs called "Adult Oriented Rock" or AOR - or maybe I'm thinking of something else!? Think Styx were sorta in that league too - another band I'm quite fond of. I also agree with your sentiments June in that these bands are not *all* I like but I do play them when the mood takes me!! |

Hey Mel, How are you keeping? "Hold the Line" what a classic "Bum band" track, must root out some Toto - having so much fun with my CD player....never seem to find much time to listen to music in the house. AOR rings a bell alright, don't know any Styx stuff off the top of my head, must watch out for them. |

Johnny Clegg is I think South African. Played in a band called Savuka. lyrics are a mix of english and zulu. Would play in the townships and to mixed audiences (which was illegal) prior to the end of apartheid. Sometimes he was called "the White Zulu". Most of his stuff is from 70's and 80's If you saw "George of the Jungle", you will have heard him sing did a song on the soundtrack think it was called "dogs howling at the moon". Have some of his stuff on cassette

Sorry BB, I thought he was quite famous. He was born in the the UK but is more associated with South Africa. He is a great performer and is very popular in France. They call him Le Zulu Blanc. He can do all the Zulu kicks and jumps, which he learned as a kid playing with the kids his age. It's mad to think now that they, Jaluka, couldn't perform in SA during apartheid because they were of mixed race. My favoutite song is "scatterlings of Africa" Try Wikipedia for additional info. While you're ther look up Sipho "Hotstix" Mabuse. They are mad. They played in lesotho one tome and we were able to dance with them afterwards at the end of the hall. |

Doesn't mean I don't love you either,June (Hee Hee!) Wondered what you meant by 'Bum Bands' but yeah-I guess you're right. But Foreigner don't really fall in there,do they? Remember 'That was yesterday'? A real teenage,coming of age song. Real Grove stuff. Missed oppurtunity,lost love-we've all been there,right? Got their Best Of mix recently-all the usuals. Juke Box hero is a real rocker-great guitar. And an acoustic version of Urgent-Brill!

Hey June, I'm good thanks! Hope all is well with you - only a few weeks to go now? Best of luck!! You'd definitely know "Babe" by Styx, a real classic slow song from the late 70s/early 80s - never played at the Grove though for some reason. Always remember a Simpsons episode "The hulapalooza rock festival one" and Homer is in the record shop and he finds a Styx album and (I think) a Boston album in the 'oldies' section and he says "Styx and Boston, oldies? when did that happen!??" (classic!) |

Do you remember when Homer was backstage at a Peter Frampton concert and he picked up a huge deflated pink pig,and Frampton said 'I got that at a Pink Floyd yardsale'??? Class.

Absolutely! Loads of cool rock references through loads of episodes! The rock festival one was filled with classic lines like when Homer tells the Smashing Pumpkins that he got kicked out of college for his views on Vietnam and they (the 'pumpkins) are dead impressed but then Homer follows up with "..that and for stealing projectors!" |

Rolo, an almost extinct recording format most famous use was for compilation tapes made with Love and Affection ( this track by Joan armatrading was almost always included in said compilation) Often referred to on inner album sleeves "home taping is killing music" which is rubbish. Same argument now being made about the net, mp3 .... How many out there still have compilation tapes or made them for girls/boys in their lives? |

Floydman, that's some serious selective editing there on your part, but If that's how you keep your ego afloat be my guest Yeah I think Foreigner fits my Bum Band definition perfectly, ya only got to listen to Urgent full blast to imagine Lou Gramm, in his white skin tight trousers strutting his stuff. Mel, Just googled for the lyrics of Babe. Yes I know the song (Who doesn't)....Mr De Young of Desert Moon and Blue check shirt fame! Edited by Esthalon |

June, I would be reluctant to ask a barman or a dj to play some "bum" music for me unless really sure of the ground I was on! Images of the blue oyster bar from police academy spring to mind D. |
