I'm eighteen - Alice Cooper

Para Berta, porque ya puede cantar esta canción

Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and downs
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen
and I don't know what I want
Eighteen
I just don't know what I want
Eighteen
I gotta get away
I've gotta get out of this place
I'll go runnin in outer space
Oh yeah
I got a
baby's brain and an old man's heart
Took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talkin' about
Feels like I'm livin in the middle of doubt
Cause I'm
Eighteen
I get confused every day
Eighteen
I just don't know what to say
Eighteen
I gotta get away
Lines form on my face and my hands
Lines form on the left and right
I'm in the middle
the middle of life
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I LIKE IT
Yes I like it
Oh I like it
Love it
Like it
Love it
Eighteen!
Eighteen!
Eighteen!
Eighteen and I LIKE IT

5 del 6 en la historia del rock

La verdad es que hoy no me motivan los nacimientos del día; pero sí las "anécdotas". Ahí van dos:

Resulta que en 1972 Grand Funk Railroad batió el récord de los Beatles vendiendo el aforo de sus conciertos en el Shea Stadium en 72 horas, ingresando $306,000. No voy a ocultar que me da un cierto gustirrinín que se batan los récords de los Beatles. Pero lo mas divertido del caso es que ese récord ocurría mientras su álbum Survival entraba en el top 6 en USA y justo un mes después de que invitaran a 150 periodistas a una rueda de prensa en Nueva York y asistieran 6. Profetas!

La segunda es que, en 1977, una rata que debía de ser la cena de la boa constrictor de Alice Copper se resistió y le atizó un mordisco al pobre bicho a resultas del cual falleció.



¿Y que música vamos a poner hoy? mmmmmmmm

This is a clip from the legendary Shea Stadium Concert that broke The Beatles ticket sales record. Grand Funk Railroad sold-out Shea Stadium twice in three nights. A record that still stands today (37 years later). I'm proud to say this video is in the permanent archives of Shea Stadium & The N.Y. Mets. Yes, this is the real deal, the Grand Funk Railroad we all love at the peak of their great career. This is a historic concert that folks still rave about. If you were there, feel lucky, because you were a part of history. This is considered by many to be one of the greatest concerts in the short history of "Hard Rock/Metal". Grand Funk Railroad was truly a "Performance Vehicle". Some call it "Industrial Rock". You'll see no lazers or pyro here, just some of the greatest music ever performed live.
