If you just learned about figure 8 racing, I question whether you are actually American to begin with.


I've seen figure 8 racing and demolition derbys, but never with trailers.
I never knew this existed. Who else but the good old USA could come up with something this cool ?

Nuthin' Fancy is a great album!

Cheatin' Woman is a great song.
Our country is becoming the movie Idiocracy in real life.

The Guess Who - American Woman. Burton Cummings was such a great versatile singer.

Jerry Jeff Walker - Mr. Bojangles

This one is pretty cool, and not something you would expect from Joe Walsh

I've always liked this one...very underrated album.

The Song Remains The Same Movie

The Song Remains The Same Movie - What a great concert film! Led Zeppelin 1973 Madison Square Garden.

My friends and I went to many midnight showings of this as well as Pink Floyd's The Wall at the theater back in the day. It still holds up really well.

The "dream sequences" are a little hokey, but the concert footage is fantastic.

Jimmy Page really was incredible!

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - What a great band !
Their music is timeless. I was just watching this concert from Rockpalast 1977, and it still sounds great almost 50 years later.



One of the best songwriters ever in my opinion.

Like to hear your thoughts on his music

I am probably an outlier but I love listening to buskers doing just about anything. When we lived in Europe it was one of the best things about living in Europe...they were everywhere. Don't see it as much in the states outside of New Orleans, Austin and Nashville on a regular basis.



I agree 100%. Wish we had more of it here in the USA. Tuba Skinny is a great act to catch when your in New Orleans.

He's an amazing player.


He is. And a genuinely good guy. I got to meet him a few years back on their Like An Arrow tour, and he was just very down to earth and seemed to enjoy connecting with the fans.

This group was great...funk and rock combined to perfection. Mother's Finest.

For me it is just great to see someone that obviously has a passion for what they are doing. I would much rather see one of these good street performers than some big name act that no longer remembers the joy of just playing. Just my two cents.
