Friday Night Music subject and topic: The Eve of Destruction. The End of the World. Death. Destruction. Damnation. Anything Related.

Comment however you'd like.

I start with the title song:

Listing a [b]Good Gospel Song[/b] according to the Youngsters. ;)

I never really understood them using it as a Gospel Song or the fact that they obviously never read/comprehended the lyrics.

But I suppose there is no accounting for Brainwashed Youngsters who know no better. :^0

"In Christian boviscatology, the Rapture is a reference to the being caught up referred to in the Biblical passage 1 Thess 4:17, when in the End Times the Christians of the world will be gathered together in the air to meet Jesus Christ."

Was the Golden Gloves Boxing Champion of Woolongong hence the One Golden [i]Magic[/i] Glove.

Was on about the same time as Monty Python but as far as I knew was only shown in AU and the Rights are owned by Aunty Jack well at least Graham Bond the Actor who played Aunty Jack and wrote it.

He revived Aunty Jack for a couple of years in the UK several years latter after the AU Series finished and so far has only released the first 2 seasons on DVD. There is one episode where Aunty Jack fights to preserve the [i]Good[/i] Black & White from the invading Color Monster which obviously the people didn't want. After all who would want to watch TV in color? :D

That was actually the first bit of color TV shown in AU as well. ;)

Billy Joel was at an Italian restaurant and asked the waiter what kind of wine he should order. The waiter replied, "A bottle of red, a bottle of white .........."

The song was written that night.

Jimmy Paige on the guitar is just great stuff and I'm glad I got to see it one last time.

At Midday I walked out of my Computer Lab feeling full of Love for everything [i]The Rapture[/i] and saw [b]SWMBO[/b] sitting there miserably and I then apologized to her for the fact that I was going to heaven and leaving her alone in Hell as the [b]Bed Wrecker[/b] that she is, so she beat the Snot out of me and all I feel now are the 4 B's [b]Black Bruises & Broken Bones.[/b] :(

Apparently now she feels really good and full of love so now she must be going to heaven and leaving me here in Hell. Glad that I'm with the fun crowd now where there is fun to be had.

Her Parting words to me can best be summed up in this

Apparently now I'm going to live so long that those people mentioned in the Old Testament will be considered as Youngsters. :^0

Glad you didn't fall into a canyon after the massive Earthquakes. :^0. SWMBO made a good choice. Celebrate with a new pair of Jimmy Choo's. Cha-ching!

I remember ALL of those songs. Master Jack - it was on my list of favorites when I was ~16 years old. Wow! What a treat! I haven't heard that in 40 years! GREAT links. How on earth did they surface in your mind?

by maxwell edison

How did you remember these songs? I was actually a teenager who would watch Rowen and Martin's Laugh-In one night, Dean Martin the next, and Hee Haw the next.

Wow!

You may or may not believe this, but I'm both a record collector and an eBay seller. I recently listed a 45 RPM record: Eggplant That Ate Chicago by Dr. West......

It got no bids.

If you want it, Chas, I'll give it to you.

I have not seen [b]SWMBO[/b] since Saturday, She's disappeared. [b]YEA YEA YEA[/b] <:o)

Now what should I tell the Police? She's gone to Heaven after experiencing the Rapture? NA I don't think that would be very cleaver. :D

How about she's been Kidnapped by person/s unknown? OH WTH I'll just procrastinate around and forget. ;)

Now all I can say is Happy Days are here again.

Of course if I was to leave the Lab things may not look so rosy. :0

I saw Barbara in concert, and that guy is right on the money. Love the video. Thanks for posting that.

Poor SWMBO. You are very bad Hal. Someone has to make you miserable for the rest of your life. This is why I will never get married again. You marry a guy and you could disappear off the face of the Earth and they don't care, they're happy. You're the big, bad wife (very bad). If it was your girlfriend, you'd be looking in every nook and cranny of the English Muffin, wouldn't you.

[b]SWMBO[/b] has just opened the Lab door and poked her head in. :_|

Apparently after returning from buying as many shoes as she could carry she has been having a party outside and didn't want to disturb me with her merriment so she locked the LAB Door and has left me stuck inside. :-&

I was wondering why I was hearing this so often now I know and worst still I'm stuck with [b]SWMBO.[/b]

And just for that Martial Artist who remembers, Ecky Thump is still the most dangerous Martial Art ever invented even if it is practiced by the Welsh.

I cannot answer how my mind finds its way to old songs and links them to events and thoughts. The first time I actually used that skill was on an 8th grade English assignment on emotions. I matched up news pictures, emotions and lines from songs.

I think from following the other links I just went for the complete absurdity of the entire news event for the Rapture.

As to the Eggplant 45, if you want to part with it, I'll accept. I do still have equipment to play them on. One of these days I plan to digitize the parts of my album and 45 collection that I could not find on CD. I even still have most of the albums that we bought CD copies of.

I also ended up with my grandparents Victrola. It needs some restoration work though.

It's fairly obvious that the Vogan's didn't turn up

But as they are noted for requiring all forms for work to be filled out in Quadruplicate at least 4,000 times and proof read to be perfect it's fairly obvious that they are on their way when eventually the correct Paper Work is completed.

So as the objection period for the new Hyperspace Bypass has expired every extra day is a bonus that should not be expected. Make the most of them before the world disappears. :0
