FUSA Music Thread

RIP Mr. Withers.

 

I started listening to John Prine in high school, a year or two after his debut album came out. It was very different than most of the artists we listened to: Alice Cooper, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, Allman Brothers, etc. "Illegal Smile," the first track, got our attention. The rest just kind of fell into place. Been listening to and seeing him in concert every chance I get ever since. He died last week from complications of the coronavirus. Here's a tune from his last album at Austin City Limits from October, 2018. RIP to one of the greatest American singer-songwriters ever.

 

30th anniversary of his passing:

 

Yes! The music thread is still here.

This is the song that I've had associated with Fulham recently as I try to find someway to will them to do better - Mr. Motivator. "You can do it!" "It's all about the confidence!" "All you need is a solid back four!" Well, that last line isn't officially in the song, but when I sing it it is.

 

When will 2020 F#%¥ING end??? RIP to the one and only Eddie Van Halen

 

The youngsters sound amazing and good for Tommy Shaw paying it forward.

 

Merry Christmas!!

 

Whenever I hear Raphinha's name during a Leeds match I think of this song because it sounds like they are singing his name in the chorus:

 

After the late loss to Arsenal, the chorus to this song was in my head. Fulham doesn't break hearts, Fulham destroys them.

 

Ran across this song the other day, still great.

 

RIP to Dusty Hill, the bass player for ZZ Top. Even though they struck gold on MTV w/Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, etc. give me the early Texas Blues they produced:

 

I'm so sick of hearing "Seven Nation Army" at sporting events, so I was thrilled today that something different was played after goals were scored in the Women's Soccer bronze medal match. Thank you stadium audio guy. You are my hero and you Push the Tempo.

 

RIP to Stones drummer Charlie Watts. That stoic face and more then happy to let the other guys be the personalities (this video is perfect, just a couple close ups of Charlie near the end).

How in the Hell did Keith Richards outlive Charlie??

 

31 years ago today since the helicopter crash in Wisconsin

 

RIP to Vincente ‘Cheney’ ’ Fernandez aka El Rey (The King). If you’ve ever seen mariachi music I guarantee they played Volver Volver. My Mother-In-Laws favorite, a legend is gone.
