That's enhancement I once mentioned I liked some classical composers -- Rimsky-Korsakov, Richard Strauss, Dvořák, Wagner, and a couple of others. I was informed I had plebian tastes.

I was reading Hesse and when I saw Steppenwolf in a rack in a college bookstore I bought it knowing nothing about the band. Speaking of which I wonder if the film is still available. It was rather strange for its day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steppenwolf_(film) Of course Hesse, Jung, Kay, and synchronicity are all tangled up in a web.

I don't know if she was post-medieval. I have Sequentia's 'Edda. Myths from Medieval Iceland' and 'The Rheingold Curse' but they get into a lot of that stuff. The Edda album was an attempt to recreate what passed for entertainment.

I DJed a lot of parties back then - it was mostly rock (both country rock like New Riders of the Purple Sage and straight-up stuff like Bob Seger). But I would usually throw in a disco parody to shake things up (e.g. _Do You Think I'm Disco_ by Steve Dahl and The Teenage Radiation). -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | Growth for the sake of \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | growth is the ideology X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | of the cancer cell. / \ if you read it the right way. | -- Edward Abbey

Yes, that cover is rather hard to read. :-) > The long disjointed jams didn't get it for me. Still, when they did a 20-minute version of "Truckin'" at a concert it was pretty neat - especially when they finally got back to the theme and we all realized, "So _that's_ what they started out playing!" > 'Last Lonely Eagle' is one of my favorites although in my mind I generally > hear the Ian and Sylvia cover. That's a good one for sure. And no evening was complete without "Dirty Business". > Seger is good too. 'Turn the Page' is one of my faves. To me, "Ship of Fools" and "Shame on the Moon" are examples of a perfect musical piece. > I spent a lot of > time on the road setting up molding equipment.

Apparently she had a university > degree in something The song "Enough Is Enough", which she recorded with Barbra Streisand, is an interesting study in constrasts. Whereas Streisand had total control and would shut her voice down before letting it go astray, Donna Summer had that tremendous power with which she could drive through anything. There's a place for both. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | Growth for the sake of \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | growth is the ideology X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | of the cancer cell. / \ if you read it the right way. | -- Edward Abbey

The 12” version of “I Feel Love”, as arranged (or was it produced?) by Georgio Moroder, was a seminal piece in the development of what later became “Techno”. Disco never died. It went underground as “House”. Which then got a few glimpses back in the mainstream, courtesy of one or two Madonna singles. Then the 1990s broke loose.

That's enhancement I want to rock-n-roll all day, and party every night ! :-) Actually I'm more "Sheldon" than that, but still LIKE the image/idea :-)

It > didn't take long for sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll to subvert the media. Other FM stations came in here rather late. Nearest thing you could SOMETIMES get was a college station from about 45 miles away. It did full albums. The original FM station, kept playing light Mozart for 30 more years, kinda elevator music. You'd hear it in offices everywhere. Knew the DJ, it's all management would let him play. So, AM remained king. Distortion - the brain just filtered it out. Hmmmm ... DID score a Cadillac valve-based car radio once - early AM/FM. It DID work, NICE sound, but I never found a place for it. Now, gone into the black hole forever. I think those used special low-voltage/low-heat valves, kinda the last evolution. You'd never find replacements.

Not to take anything away from the very capable Japanese but they were given a leg up after the war. Being under the US defense umbrella let them spend money on productive enterprises too.
