The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party

We sure knew how to party back in 1976 – the year of our U.S. Bicentennial. We turned 200 on July 04TH of that year, but we didn’t look a day over 175 !

Disco music was still growing up during the Summer of 1976, and 26-year-old Memphis Tennessee Radio Deejay Rick Dees (one of my personal all-time ‘American Idols’) decided that the time was right to gather his ‘Cast Of Idiots’ together in a recording studio and lay down that track all about that ‘Disco Duck’. It went on to become a U.S. # 1 platinum retail and pop radio smash later that year, and the whole nation was quacking up a storm out on the dance floors.

So you think you can dance the duck ? Give it a shot !

Between The Trees are a local band from up the Turnpike near Orlando Florida. They are a trio consisting of Ryan Kirkland (lead vocalist and guitarist), Josh Butler (drummer), and his brother Jeremy Butler (bassist). They got their start as a youth group worship band at Discovery Church. This is their hot new Christian Rock smash entitled “We Can Try”. It’s the leadoff single from their upcoming album “Spain”. Check it out here. It’s in the lyrics:

The first few times that I heard this jam on the radio I thought that it was the hot new breakout smash from Homestead Florida‘s very own The Saturn Project featuring this cool dude and this crazy cat. As it turns out it’s actually the umpteenth hit single from International supergroup U2.

Bono, The Edge, Adam, and Larry have been together collectively as a band for the past third of a century (since 1976), and this latest jam sounds very retro. It could quite easily be mixed in with all of their other legendary radio hits of the early-to-mid-1980s that made U2 a household name. It’s from their current studio album “No Line On The Horizon”. It’s all about the love that exists for the “Magnificent” One – The Lord Almighty. Only love can leave such a mark. Only love can heal such a scar. Justified till we die. You and I will magnify the “Magnificent”. It’s in the lyrics:

Monday Night Countdown

On this special edition of the ‘Monday Night Countdown’ I present to you my TOP 5 TOP 6 favourite Michael Jackson songs of all-time:

6. I Just Can’t Stop Loving You – 1987

5. Remember The Time – 1992

4. The Man In The Mirror – 1988

3. The Way You Make Me Feel – 1987

2. Smooth Criminal – 1988

1. Black Or White – 1991

As you can see it was his later albums – “Bad” and “Dangerous” – that made me a fan at the time of Michael Jackson. Those later albums were often described by critics and fans alike as somewhat pale imitations of the masterpiece that was the “Thriller” set. I myself didn’t care too much for his “Thriller” material, but my little brother ranks “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” as two of his favourite Michael Jackson songs of all-time. (He also includes # 1, # 2, and # 4 above as his TOP 5 faves.)

Here’s a classic video of an AMAZING LIVE performance with Michael Jackson in what I consider to be not only his greatest song ever, but also one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever made. It’s “Black Or White”. REMEMBER THIS !
