People Make The World Go ‘Round

Trashmen didn’t get my trash today
Oh, why? Because they want more pay
Buses on strike want a raise in fare
So they can help pollute the air

But that’s what makes the world go ’round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they’ll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go ’round

Wall Street losin’ dough on ev’ry share
They’re blaming it on longer hair
Big men smokin’ in their easy chairs
On a fat cigar without a care

But that’s what makes the world go ’round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they’ll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go ’round

( instrumental break )

But that’s what makes the world go ’round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they’ll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go ’round

People make the world go ’round
People make the world go ’round
People make the world go ’round
People make the world go ’round

The Stylistics – 1972

Ramsey

You want to get inspired? Ramsey. You want to shake a tail feather? Ramsey. Thinking about Goin’ Latin? Necesitas Ramsey. I just got the discography a few days ago. Boy do I feel like a fool not having listened to everything he ever recorded until now.

Here’s a great place to start – music for mocktails by the great RAMSEY LEWIS.

For the sake of better vibes in the world at large, please click the album and download this one right away.

Everybody Needs

this album.

I am not posting this because it is Halloween

I am posting this because a genius vocalist once recorded is eternal.

Goddess Bless Nina Hagen.

God Bless God.

I could go on and write about the times I spent with her, the stories I have heard from Armen and others, but none of it would do her any justice. Nina is beyond words of adoration, beyond fanatical worship. None of those are enough. Nina is beyond beyond. Really really. Out there out there then a little further out.

God Bless me some Nina Freakin Hagen das o vitch. If I had some acid, I’d take it right now…and I have a cold.

Nile Rodgers and The CHIC Organization at Lincoln Center 2012

After a thirty second emergency phone call from Josheeba, I ran to the train and arrived after the first number. Front and center with plenty of room to boogie. UNREAL. The sound was perfect and the band was tighter than maybe…well…ever before! It was a New York moment – to be listening to and loving so hard, the songs I call my favorites. To hear lyrics like, “Cute ponytails and curls,” or “Clams on the halfshell – and rollerskates,” being blasted from the bandshell at Lincoln Center was getting me close to a disco seizure. HELL YEAH! This is one to cross off the bucket list, seeing Nile Rodgers perform live with CHIC? Oh yes darling, I did that. AMAZING!

Nile said recently, “You have to remember, all CHIC songs are non-fiction. We always tell the truth.” Works for me, kids. Now ask yourself – what other artists can say that about their music? Certainly not Janet or Madame (MDME). Truthful lyrics make the music have magic. LONG LIVE NILE RODGERS. Amen to CHIC. Watch the video in the previous post for more drops of disco wisdom from Nile.

Here are some bits from the show… the sound recording is not good, but you can get a taste of the excitement. PLEASE NOTE: Everyone is in all white and Nile wore a turquoise tie. CHIC. The lead vocalists wore custom dresses with a nod to the the cut up t-shirt effect. CHIC. They use rhinestone studded wireless earpieces. CHIC CHIC. A little choreography goes a very long way with songs like these. CHIC. And, as Josh put it, that move is called a “shake your bangle snap.” CHIC!

and now, enjoy the slideshow:

“(Without love) There’s no reason to live
(Without you) And what would I do with the love I give
(All my lovin’) To you I’ll be giving
And I promise, yes I’ll do, as long as I’m living”
