There was a time when a bird was just a bird.

1. Is it not a bird in this video?

[rug]

3. It is and then no one thought twice about it.

[Brickbat]

5. I didn't this time, either.

6. Have you flown anywhere in the last 15 years?

9. It looks like when the planes hit the tower

2. Sometimes a bird is just a word

4. Beat me to it!

This is a big time fave. The Trashmen still are rocking in MN.

7. I'm not talking trash, man, but I just assumed the band was....

a Southern California surfer/garage band with one Hell of a 'One-hit-wonder'. Minneapolis, who knew?

[boguspotus]

8. I think everybody loved that surfer Fender reverb and twang sound.

Didn't matter if you were from a land locked state or never surfed. Gotta just dig the rock. If you are interested, MN had a great rock history - check out this CD https://www.amazon.com/Big-Hits-Mid-America-Records-1963-1967/dp/B00000AE7L

16. Some musicians liked the Fender for other reasons

"My hero as I became older was the great Leo Fender because he made one of the first guitars to hold up in a bar fight." - Charlie Deal



Mill Valley Record
Wednesday, March 21, 1984

Both Charlie Deal and the 2 A.M. Club went platinum last week in a manner of speaking. Huey Lewis, the homegrown musician made good, dropped by the 2 A.M. last week to announce that his latest album "Sports," has earned platinum status (that's 1 million units sold). The album cover was shot at the club's bar and prominently in view on the wall behind Huey Lewis and the News is a Charlie Deal toilet seat guitar. Charlie has vowed that he'll make no changes in his lifestyle even though more than a million homes now contain a picture of one of his masterpieces.

Charlie Deal was from Minnesota and appeared in my hometown in 1959. It took us a few years to figure why the odd duck rode around town on his bicycle with a toilet seat around his neck.

18. Sweet is what's showing on the television

That's Dwight Clark catching an earlier pass on a most memorable day when he caught "The Catch". Back in the day, Clark and Montana were Da Bomb.

19. Great Trivia!

Didn't know that - Thanks

[Brother Buzz]

20. Hugh Anthony Cregg III insisted on inserting Clark into the album cover...

after all, the title of the album was Sports. Goose, the owner of the 'Duce', was a busted down AAA pitcher and was hoping for a baseball theme.

10. Your point?

I'm not seeing it.

[rug]

12. That doesn't surprise me.

[MineralMan]

14. Nor died your post surprise me...

Nor your reluctance to answer my question...

[rug]

15. Nor does your reply to my reply.

Lol!

[uppityperson]

11. And now, that vid makes me flinch because it looks like when the planes flew into those buildings

[rug]

13. So many small things have changed.

And look to be unchangeable.
