"Wonderin'" by Neil Young & The Shocking Pinks

A couple more shots of the old Plymouth Valiant

This poor thing looks like it's been rode hard and put up wet...

So pink cars remind me of this song, that I saw on MTV way back in the day.  I just loved this song and video!!!  Always one of my very favorites from MTV.  If I remember correctly there was a promo for MTV where they were giving away a pink Cadillac and it was related to this video.

"Pink Cadillac" by Natalie Cole

1963 Plymouth Valiant

I was driving out in South Salt Lake and driving past the street where my dear friend John Byer lived some 25 years ago, before he passed away.  I decided to drive past his old place and when I came around the corner from his place I saw this old very pink car.  Too funny!

I found a website that has photos of various models of Valiants (a Chrysler A-body):

I posted the Bruce Springsteen version of this song in my old Scott's blog back on 16-Feb-2015.  I thought now that I'm Rachel, I should post the version with a female vocal.

Note: a couple of years in the future I actually own a Plymouth myself.  It's a B-body, so larger.  I have to show off a picture of it.  It has some pink stripes on it ;)

I so *LOVE* this car!!!

You can see many more pictures of it in my blog posts in 2020.

"Englishman in New York" by Sting

Mariah and I saw this license plate yesterday and I had to laugh

This has always been one of my favorite Sting songs.  On the last night of my music class at Weber State College (then) the teacher had us bring in our favorite record album and play a song for the class.  This is the song I played.

When it got to the bridge the teacher got all excited and exclaimed that it was Jazz.  Our instructor had played with some of the big names in Jazz back in the 30's and 40's.

"Way of the World" by Max Q

This is yet another post I'm filling in almost two and a half years after I started it.  There is no way I could remember how my picking this song for today came about.

I have already posted the two other Max Q (Michael Hutchence) songs I really love, so it is definitely important to have this one included.

"Easy to Be Hard" by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

I have no memory of why I took this photo on 27-Aug-2017

I am finishing this post over two and a half years after I started it.  I have no idea why I took the above photo that day and no idea what reminded me of this song.  But I do love it.  And I would say this album ("Ye-Me-Le") is my favorite Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 album.

"I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood

Selfie in front of what used to be the Zephyr Club

I saw so many great artists and bands at the Zephyr Club!!  I remember going to see George Thorogood and the Destroyers at the Zephyr with my peeps from E&S.  That was such a great show and we had such a great time!!!  We probably had too much to drink, but it was sure FUN!!

I so loved the Zephyr, it was my "watering hole" in that era (the 90's).  I often went and drank there by myself.

I always thought the lyrics to this song were cool, like:  "... so I called up my pal Jack Daniels and his partner Jimmy Beam" and "...my pal Johnny Walker and his brothers Blackie and Red".
