Unexpected FM

[jbrownsjr]

Walking down the street in Nashville just now, I heard a cover band doing stand back. I got to say, that's a first!

Was it better than Columbus?

[HomerMcvie]

Was it better than Columbus?

It was a THOUSAND TIMES better than the old goat could sing it these days. This girl could actually sing, rather than bleat.

[HomerMcvie]

And I just heard Stand Back AGAIN just now, on local radio. $tevie can buy herself a new shawl!

[Villavic]

I just heard TUSK in an old 9-1-1 episode.

God, I have seen that episode in the past and didn't remember it was there at all. I'm feeling like Julianne Moore in Still Alice.

I'm going to be going on my first cruise this winter(7 days in the Caribbean, going out of New Orleans). Anyway, I've been watching videos about the ship, and Little Lies was playing in one of the lounges in the video.

I've seen other videos where they had a FM tribute band on the ship.

I'D GO SEE THAT EVERY NIGHT! I'd take seven different shawls! :woohoo:

[Wdm6789]

I’ve been meaning to post this one. On 7/12/2023, Christine’s birthday, The Bridge on Sirius XM played a little Christine McVie tribute spiel, for what would have been her 80th birthday, sporadically throughout the day before playing Got a Hold on Me. I heard it twice that day.

[jbrownsjr]

Not very "unexpected" but I heard YMLF on the way to work around 4:45am. And I blasted it and Alan Hunter was the one playing it.

It sounded so damn good!

I just heard TUSK in episode 3 of Painkiller drama series. Though not the FM version but played by a live brass band.

By the way, very good serie.

Heard Everyday at the grocery store this morning. That's a rare one and that's a good thing.
Later in the morning I heard I Don't Want To know on Sirus deep cuts

[Macfan4life]

On the SirusXm this week in 1978 American Top 40 show a letter was written what album in the 1970s from a performer or band excluding soundtracks produced the most top 10 hits. The answer was Fleetwood Mac Rumours which spent 31 weeks at #1 and produced 4 top 10 hits. That was a huge achievement at the time regardless of album sales. In the late 80s and 90s it was fairly common by many performers like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Janet Jackson, etc.

As the 4 singles all hit US top 10, I think maybe they could have released a 5th single. What would that have been? The Chain is an obvious one. I know it’s a bit long, but it’s not as if there weren’t other big hits in the 1970’s that were even longer. And I get they probably couldn’t release it as a first single but given the album ‘went viral’ and the 4th song did well almost a year after the release of the first one, there’s every chance it would have sold well as a single. If not The Chain, then maybe Second Hand News should have been released as a 5th one???!!!???

I think I Dont Want To Know would have made a great radio friendly hit song. Its catchy and easy to sing along with just like Dont Stop was.
Its interesting after such a successful run, Warner did not release a 5th single though.

I was actually considering the creation of a poll on this very topic.

[Macfan4life]

Maybe they wanted to regroup and start working on another album compared to keep running the Rumours machine. The album had at the time record charting singles from an album and most of the other tunes like The Chain and Gold Dust Woman were in heavy rotation on rock stations. Part of me admires them for not milking it to death.

Oh, how times changed!!!!!

[HomerMcvie]

So I follow a fb page for "Shemp" of the Three Stooges. They photoshop Shemp's head onto "John and Yoko(Shemp)" and the like. Tonight, it was Buckingham Shemp.

Stevie never looked better!

[Macfan4life]

Heard If Anyone Falls on Sirius 80s this morning. Really great vocal by Stevie. Roy and Waddy make that song too. The song has a tremendous vocal bridge which Stevie was really good at. Gypsy is the best vocal bridge ever. But If Anyone Falls is pretty good too.

[vivfox]

I just heard Heroes Are Hard To Find in the car on FM radio.

This week September 19, 1981 Sirius Big 80s countdown

SDMHA hits its peak at #3. Blocked by going to #1 by Juice Newton's Queen Of Hearts and Endless Love which spent 6 weeks at #1.

Summer of 1981 was one of the best times in music ever.

I'm at a library in my hometown, and the middle school next door just let out. In walks a girl that's about 14, with a Fleetwood Mac shirt on. Maybe there is hope...

I'm in Texas staying at my best friend's home. With she and her husband we went to a bar at Denton, a halloween karaoke party. I was Phantom of the Opera, my friends were Tina Turner and Brian Johnson.

We didn't sing, the wait time was very long and we suspect they give preference to the local people, their friends, etc.

All the people sang mostly rock songs, some country too.

Then a girl, to my surprise, sang a Fleetwood Mac song!

Ok here is something unusual.
Last night I go to my car to set the clock back. When I start the car, Leather and Lace is on Yacht Rock. I change my clock and turn the car off. This morning when I got in my car, Leather and Lace is playing again. I know they play the songs on a loop but starting my car 12 hours apart had the same song playing.
What does it mean?
Should I be expecting someone to show up to give me leather and lace?

That's one of my all time favorite photos of the band. I believe no one can get to the sign today and they have fenced it off or something. As a child Carol Burnett and her friends would climb the hill and play all over the sign. I think its dangerous to be up there and they were tired of people messing with the sign posting other words. But I dont live in LA. Just something I heard.

[jbrownsjr]

They probably had someone fired at CBS!!

[Macfan4life]

The most extreme and pathetic thing the band ever did to erase Bob was on the Behind The Music segment that came out right after The Dance and was around the time that Bob sued the band. When going through the entire Fleetwood Mac history, the history totally skips Bob's era. It's like the band came to the states and immediately hired Stevie and Lindsey. Even worse, they show the back cover of Heroes Are Hard To Find and they purposely cut Bob out of the photo. He's on the far right and he is clipped off the photo.
I want to know who did this and who told them to do this. Its just as bad when Eddie Van Halen had Michael Anthony scrubbed from the band's website. No mention or photos yet he was so instrumental to the band.

It's sad. And people blame Christine for the RRHOF and I've heard nothing from anyone (except Wendy) that Christine was the cause. And, I don't believe that to be true. And it's not just that I don't want to believe it, it's just that Wendy was kind of crazy and everything I've heard was: that Christine and Bob got along well. The lawsuit was a sore spot yes, but erasing someone's history, not her style.

Bob's lawsuit hit the band at their darkest hour just after Time. Even though Bob was asking for little money, it was too much for Mick. Chris always backs Mick and I can see Bob calling Chris but she probably balked and sort of ended up being blamed because maybe she was the only one to talk to him. But regardless this was a band decision to exclude Bob (minus Stevie and Lindsey). The Behind The Music segment had to be a coordinated effort with VH1 and someone in the band almost serving as editor. I cant see Chris caring what was in the band's documentary. It had to be someone petty, big on retribution, and not caring the band's legacy was being shown properly.
All arrows point to Mick :lol:

I dunno.... Mick has always tended to fall into the mediator role... even when he got slings from Lindsey or Stevie or whomever, he tended to mend fences fairly well. He and Lindsey patched things up pretty soon after the firing by Stevie etc.

Honestly, I know everyone will push back on this, but the person I can see having a personality where once they cut someone out of their life, it's done and they never look back is John. He's just no nonsense, no bull****, no drama in what he wants to put up with and... I don't think he actively would go around with anger towards Bob or that kind of thing... I think it's more the opposite....once the door is closed for him, it just stays closed. :shrug:

Local radio. I don't even know the call letters. 94.5 FM in Nashville. They call themselves hippie radio, but there's no grateful dead or anything. They don't beat you to death with Hotel California or GYOW. They play tons of stuff I've not heard for 30 years.

Were they starving artists, or did the drugs keep them so slim? Even with all the alcohol, John's the only one who seems to have the slightest hint of a paunch.

I wonder that too. But I'm not sure. Elton was really fat when he was at worst of addiction. As John Belushi and many more. But yes there are also many examples of people becoming extremely thin because of drugs. So who knows.

Mick mentioned cocaine main presence starting with the White Album. Before that he mentioned some episodes but not heavy addictions, except for John alcoholism.

But yes they look very skinny.

i don't really see any paunch on john...? his tummy was pretty flat until the 90s as far as i recall...

chris seemed to have a really good metabolism, she was always thin. no belly but no *ss either. and no real boobs lol. and i've got too much of all those things. ugh.

From her face, it looked like she had gained a few pounds just during the Time album days.

She looked so slender, elegant and beautiful when she came back for the DANCE.

Yes, I remember thinking “that’s an untouched picture”! But then I heard her voice on Time and was amazed at how good she sounded without studio wizardry. She sang beautifully…

I’m fairly certain she had some very well-done and judicious plastic surgery before The Dance.

As for weight—Christine photographs heavy from certain angles, but she was quite thin all through the 90s. Look at the full-body shots of her during Time. I’m like Christine—I do not take well to the camera from certain angles, so I feel her pain. lol. In 2004, when being interviewed for The Guardian, the journalist noted she was “taller and rangier than her photos suggest.”

I was gonna say the same thing, I'm thinking she had an eye job and maybe a lift as well. Those somewhat droopy eyelids run in her family, but when she came back for the Dance, her eyes were WIIIDE open lol. There's a big difference between her pics on Time and the ones on the Dance.

Trouble is not a song they play in adult contemporary peruvian radios. I wish the half of times they play Hotel California (song I love but please, enough!) they would play Trouble instead. So the answer may be 80s or 90s decade.

They do play Christine 80s singles.

I hate EVERYTHING HIPPIE. I was raised to hate the Beatles, because my mom said they were dirty hippies.

There just happens to be a radio station in Nashville that calls itself Hippie Radio. Believe me, they do NOT play Grateful Dead, or jam bands or anything "hippie", because I would NOT be listening if they did. They DO play album cuts from albums from the 70's and 80's. Sentimental Lady and Trouble! And you want to label me for listening!:mad::mad::mad:

On Carrie Underwood's Christmas special "My Gift" there's a scene where's she wearing a Fleetwood Mac tour t-shirt from the Tusk era.

Never the less it's pretty cool to see her wearing it.

In the 1984 Facts of Life Episode "Cruisin" finds the girls randomly driving around inside a car. The sub-plot is Tootie trying to win Abba concert tickets from the radio. Every time a trivia question is asked on the radio, Tootie tells Joe to stop and she calls on a pay phone. One trivia question was "What band recorded Mystery To Me and Heroes Are Hard To Find?" Tootie in the back seat yells "I know this, I know this.....Fleetwood Mac!" and she hops out of the back seat to call the radio station. But she is caller #5 instead of #4 and does not win.

It really is. It aired in October 1984 when Fleetwood Mac was nowhere near as a popular band. And the fact they used classic albums instead of Rumours or Tusk made it even more interesting. Lastly Abba was broken up for years and was not touring. All so weird. In this episode the girls dine and dash at a restaurant too. I just cant picture Tootie being into classic Fleetwood Mac. Her fascination was Jermaine Jackson (if you remember that episode).

Here is the episode. Skip ahead to 14:46

I'm watching Six Feet Under for the first time, and at S1 E2 Nate says Hey, how about a hydroponic raspberry grown by a guy named Gunther who once slept with Stevie Nicks.

Never heard anything about that story or that Gunther, I thought. But after googling I found I already asked about it here at The Ledge in 2002, and it seems it's all fictional.

I didn't remember asking about it, nor watching that episode. I guess my alzheimer doesn't give up.

This week in 1977 (week of February 26,1977)
Go Your Own Way was moving up the charts at #14.
The Eagles were #1 with New Kid In Town. I think Hotel California was the #1 album soon to be replaced by Rumours.
OMG this chart is amazing. Most of the songs on this chat you still hear today every day. This was a moment in time right before Saturday Night Fever. Rock bands still sort of ruled the charts with Disco sprinkled in. Once Saturday Night Fever was released Disco sort of took over for the next 2 years.

Unfortunately the word unexpected is mentioned just twice in Mick's book. None of those is referred to Songbird. I'd go to Avon Books to complain, I hope it's still located in NYC (1350 Avenue of the Americas). Great excuse to visit the big apple again.

Over My Head just came on while I'm typing this.

I hear Chris and LB songs all the time on my pandora FM station.

[BLY]

Rooms on Fire…..on my scuffle of 3k songs…..love this song!

[DownOnRodeo]

I can't believe it. I was going down an escalator at LAX and I hear Love Will Show Us How. I wanted to stop on the stairs to listen to it. :lol:

There's no need for alibis.

Hearing the Rumours album version of Dreams.... on a station called Acoustic.
Which literally normally plays unplugged versions of songs.
Are people so used to all the remixes and covers that the original sounds "acoustic" now?

In the same day on 3 different radio stations last week I heard Magnet & Steel, Edge of 17 and Trouble.

So I've been staying in my friend's "college" apartment for the past week, sitting his dog. The kid in the apartment above me has been BLASTING Edge of 17 for the past half hour. Did kids in 1981 blast music from 1937?

I kind of did.

I remember in the mid 70s I was a kid and we liked to dance twist songs at parties. But twist was like 15 years old at that moment. Oh, Rock Around the Clock (1952), too. But just at parties. We didn't use to listen oldies at home.

[HomerMcvie]

I kind of did.

1937? Really? Honestly, I've never even been much of a fan of the 1960s!

I remember in the late 80's, my cousin and I listening to Elvis quite a bit. Remember Robert Plant's Honeydrippers project? We played the hell out of that.

I was really close with my grandparents.

What I did like was watching documentaries of old music and movies. I guess it started with That's Entertainment!, a 1974 compilation MGM films plust the studio history. My parents took me to the cinema and I liked it very much. It started my hobby for Hollywood history.

And about music, it started with Heroes of Rock'n'Roll, hosted by Jeff Bridges (1979). It includes a band that would became my favorite 3 years later.

Unfortunately I've not found the entire 2 hours doc video, but there some good segments in YT. I think this is the most complete:

Once I embraced country music(when Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the like came along, rock was no longer for me. I need melody and harmony- see Eagles and FM), I began to embrace really old music. A favorite would be Bob Wills music from the 1930s and 40s. Truly joyous music.

Pearl Jam released a new album and I couldn't get thru 3 songs. It all sounds the same to me. Generic Rock. Like those white generic labels at the market back in the 80's.

Yep. And I bought all those albums, and really TRIED to like it. Nope.

"Freeeeezzinnn'...." Shut the actual fukc up.

so boring.

So I'm at my Sunday happy hour bar, where I play about 2 hours worth of music on the jukebox. My signature last two songs are Rhiannon, then Tusk as the finale(where my friends have been trained to mumble "real savage like" at the appropriate spot....). My two hour playlist finally ends, and what had the next person played, at least two hours ago?
SYLM


Sorry, that was a long story, but it was so odd that a stranger followed my FM, with FM.

What happens to them if they don't obey you?

The they're ousted from the glory of my presence, in a real savage like way.
