Char, you don't know who the red hot chili peppers are?

" and I don't want to feel the way I felt that day, take me to the place I love, take me all the way..."
ring any bells?

[charlene]

i think I've made it clear that I have no idea who/what they are!
lol
I avoid MTV and other music stations on TV as much as possible and don't listen to the radio.....haven't for years.... can't stand the yattering by the on-air "Talent"...along with the lack of any music I really care to listen to.
lol

heh heh, way to go, guys this should definitely be under small talk (speaking of small, would the California Raisins, count? lol) but what the heck, not the first thread that's wondered aimlessly

i think there's a group called the Cranberries

oh, i know that former-male-teen-wet-dream-queen Maureen McCormick has recorded some tunes, but i'm sure a certain about Eve Plum?

[stationmaster]

Here is Carrot Top with Brooks and Dunn.
Could he be the next vegetable singer?

[jj]

good one, SM ...the last vegetable singer i saw was Dylan...he didn't say a word to the crowd all night (dismal night at Massey)

oh, there were groups called Bronski Beet and the English Beet

[joveski]

> the last vegetable singer i saw was Dylan...he didn't say a word to the crowd all night


when was this show??

[jj]

don't want to get off topic (lol) but it was summer of '92, centre balcony seats, was ready to jump by the end of the evening...it was called the Never Ending Tour (substitute 'Night')

[stationmaster]

Since we are on a vegetable tangent,
lets not forget KORN...

[jj]

and a fruit tangeant too

hey, good work, SM...yeah, i remember the lead singer, the one with the husky voice

i think the well is running dry...hmmm, i dunno if Peaches & Herb count but Tangerine Dream must?

also lots of good band names within GL tunes...Wild Strawberries, etc...hmm, wonder if the Strawbs would qualify

[Auburn Annie]

And for all you oldies out there - and you know who you are - there's "The 1910 Fruit Gum Company" - 1,2,3,Red Light; Simple Simon??

[bjb]

Would "Uncle Cracker" count?

I love the ironic "Follow Me" song

...
when i'm with you
i make you free
and swim through your veins
like the fishes in the sea
...

[joveski]

ok.. that explains it.. those mid 92 dylan shows were pretty patchy!

[Station Master]

joveski, i'm known for my bad timing...oh well

i've never heard of that Fruit Gum group, aa...i thought i was kinda oldtimer or would have atleast known them from leafing thru my older bor and sis's albums/33s/45s (was it on 78? lol)

bb, have you extended the fruit and veggies music groups now to ALL foods??? lol...hey, how about Grapes of Wrath...they still around?

Funny you should mention the Strawbs. I had never heard of them until we booked them (at least the acoustic trio part of them) to play for our concert series in November. My understanding is that one of the original founders is still leading the pack. I've gone from never hearing of them before, to reading their name all over the place

I remember them!

[LSH]

Strawberry Alarm Clock, they count?

[Auburn Annie]

Yes! "Incense and Peppermint" cue flashback strobe

[jj]

hey, are you guys making these up? lol... this has kinda turned into a quiz, eh (so i knew lsh would add to the fun and eventually turnip )

speaking of real or not band names (for more fun): http://ideaexplore.net/ron/bands/index2.php

janice, yeah, i was going to go see them 2 years ago at Hugh's Room (same place as GL Tribute) but David Cousins was still recovering from a spill...i think you've made a great booking, goodluck! i'm a longtime fan but they're not everyone's cup of tea ...or bowl of cherries
