MackTheFinger Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Posted June 6, 2020 That's a good one. The current crop of dime-a-dozen pretty boys got nothin' on him.. IMO people like Bobby Bare, Waylon, Merle, and George have something in common with Danny Whitten. They were real people, and Bobby still is. Doesn't seem like there are many of those left. 1 Quote
Brent B3B Posted June 6, 2020 Report Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I’m with you, Speaking of Merle, luckily Julie and I saw him in small venue here in Oregon shortly before he died. One memorable moment for me was in the song, “Are the good times really over for good” The line, “wish a Ford and a Chevy would last 10 yrs like they should....” He sang, “wish a Ford and a Chevy would last 10yrs like a Dodge.....” The crowd erupted!!!!, (or maybe it was just in my row ?)

T120 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I kinda like some of current country music... Oops! Point taken - not on playlist. ? Edited June 12, 2020 by T120 Quote
MackTheFinger Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I was always a rocker back in the old days. Still am generally. It was tough being a long-haired guy working construction back then but I learned pretty quick how to shut all the noise down. One guy I worked around in the early '70s useta call me "Sue", like "Boy Named Sue." We'd always laugh about it but I don't know exactly what he meant. Probably just trying to be an arsehole but didn't want to push me too hard. Is "arsehole" acceptable on here? Not being one, just the word itself.. ? Edited June 11, 2020 by MackTheFinger Quote
Sniper Posted June 12, 2020 Report Posted June 12, 2020 I was a sailor for 10 years or so, the word doesn't offend me. Words in general do not offend me, attitude though.... 1 Quote
MackTheFinger Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Posted June 12, 2020 I worked construction for 37 years and have been involved in the H-D life for 50 years. I've heard plenty of bad language but try not to use it. I agree with your view on attitude.. We all have a little though so I hope mine wasn't implied and I certainly don't intend to offend. Quote

Sniper Posted June 12, 2020 Report Posted June 12, 2020 Yep, which is why they do not offend me, it's just words to me. Quote
