Harley Davidson Road Songs

 
Jason Birchmeier: Harley Davidson Road Songs features a total of 30 hard rock classics spread across two discs. All of the songs either reference the biker lifestyle or feature biker motifs. The emphasis is partly on '70s legends -- Bob Seger, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers -- and a couple of hard rock bands: W.A.S.P., Great White, and so on. Nearly everything here is a well-known song, some of the bigger anthems being Bad Company's "Bad Company," Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild," Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55," Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever," and Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog."    (Make sure to use our Amazon portal)

The Old Dawgz will be playing for the biker boys tomorrow.

Always fun.

I remember driving around at speed-limit breaking notion on back roads to almost (but not all) of them. Back in the day.

Heh. Checking our library to be sure, we already have all but a scant.

Wait a minute...Darcy said she was going to a Harley fandango. You mean this is not a photo spread of her outfits?

Dang.

Michael Haz said...

Harley are okay -I've owned several. The Victory I'm now riding is a much better bike.

Love the music, thanks Lem.

Michael Haz said...

Whoa! Seeger has to perform sitting?

Crap, we're getting old.

rcommal said...

I also remember hearing live about Stevie Ray Vaughan's death while hanging out in a bar in Rehoboth with my best girlfriend by design, and by happenstance a biker guy whom we'd just met IRL but happened to be the father of a girl who'd been attacked by cancer and whose fight against that (including fundraising) had been supported by a newspaper for which I worked in Maryland.

It was one of those weird things. You're sitting there, all relaxed on vacation and chatting, and then somehow accidental, interpersonal connections come up. Already sorta intense and weird. And then, there's an announcement of an exceptionally talented musician-celebrity outright dead.

Helluva thing. I'll never forget it.

with my best girlfriend by design

I want to clarify. My best girlfriend is not by design: We've been friends since 1972, and not by design. That happened. We were at that biker bar, by design--that is, she wanted to go that particular bar (for reasons having nothing to do with my memories, here). The fact that Gemma's dad was there was, in fact, happenstance.

Michael Haz said...

Stevie Ray's helicopter went down about ten miles from where I live.. Bad night.

I was so much younger then, I'm older than that now.

Shouting Thomas said...

The IRS announcement that it has somehow "lost" all the pertinent e-mail relating to Lois Lerner's misdeeds is truly stunning in its audacity.

This loss is a technical impossibility. E-mails exist on network servers.

It's a bald faced lie and and a direct challenge to the Republicans on the investigating committee to try to do something about it.

We are in big trouble.

You are welcome MH.

Running against the wind.

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends. Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Shouting Thomas said...

Folks, tell me this is my paranoia speaking. We've got a President who is:

o Letting Iraq go to the Jihadis
o Letting Afghanistan go to the Jihadis
o Opening the southern border wide to anybody and everybody
o Giving the Taliban back its war criminal leaders
o Taunting Congress to try to do something about using the IRS to punish political enemies

For the first time, I am seriously considering the notion that President Obama is a Manchurian Candidate.

Hell to the yeah. Me, too.

Michael Haz said...

What took you so long, Shouting?

Shouting Thomas said...

@MH

I was trying to restrain myself from being a conspiracy nut.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

I was trying to restrain myself from being a conspiracy nut.

Welcome to the right side.

rcommal said...

That's OK. I get it. Everything is about upending and re-representing everything now.

Including: "I was so much older then/I'm younger than that now."

I'm for stark choices 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020... .

And no whining about it.

Will you stand with me for the same?

rcommal said...

For perhaps the last time, DBQ and Haz:

It's perhaps possible that we actually do what you two also do, and certainly what you two advocate. What matters more to you: Rhetoric or action?

Shouting Thomas said...

Will Obama leave office when his term expires?

Are there cells of Muslim terrorists all over the country disguised as honest immigrants?

Are the Jihadis planning a coordinated attack throughout the country by triggering these cells?

Dust Bunny Queen said...

was so much younger then, I'm older than that now.

Actually...

"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"

Been there.



Shouting Thomas said...

What would the action be?

Remember, this is the internet, a nest of vipers teaming with spies.

Shouting Thomas said...

True story,

I'm friends with a woman who runs a rooming house near Teterboro Airport in NJ.

Mohammed Atta showed up at her door (pre 9/11 of course) and tried to rent a room. Atta was taking flying lessons at Teterboro.

She smelled a rat and refused to rent to him.

rcommal said...

DBQ: Yes.

I noticed that and pointed to it. In at least two-so comments (my back pages, so to speak).

Shouting Thomas said...

There is a bad moon on the rise.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

What matters more to you: Rhetoric or action?

Good question. Shall we talk, strut about, pontificate, participate in a masturbatory, feel good circle jerk of verbage? Or should we actually do something? As individuals, we are just "candles in the wind". As a group we could be wild fire.

Where, how, when should we begin? What do YOU suggest?

I have some thoughts, but mostly likely should not share.

rcommal said...

I stand by the story I told tonight, w/r/t to myself, my best girlfriend, the girl's dad, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and not at all least of it all, the girl. Full stop. Every bit of it is fact.

Shouting Thomas said...

Time to increase my store of armaments.

rcommal said...

DBQ, you're already doing what needs to be done.

rcommal said...

Shouting Thomas says:

Time to increase my store of armaments.

You're an ass. I assume that everybody knows it, even if they won't or can't say it.

Especially if they're responsible people.

rcommal said...

Obviously, however, I am willing to point out that, on account of the fact that I just did.

Michael Haz said...

@rcommal:

I have no idea what you mean. Perhaps it's my own thickness, but would you mind explaining it to me?

Michael Haz said...

I thought the correct lyrics were

"There's a bathroom on the right."

Dust Bunny Queen said...

I have no idea what you mean. Perhaps it's my own thickness, but would you mind explaining it to me?

Back when I was married to my EX husband, he would always be coming out with cryptic remarks and starting weird arguments. Accusing me of .....something and not saying what. Concluding...."YOU know what I mean." Leaving me totally confused and annoyed.

I'm all like: "NO...no I don't. I can't read your mind."

I'm a pretty literal person. Say what you mean. All that pseudo cryptic mysterious bullshit eventually just got on my nerves and I stopped paying any attention, listening or caring. I decided it was some sort of power play, mind fuck game and I didn't feel like playing. Hence the EX.

I also am increasing my store of armaments, ammunition, canned goods and other supplies. Nothing cryptic or mysterious about why either. The wheels are coming off of this train we are riding. It is going to be a very very bumpy ride.

DBQ: As someone who's been known to share the obscure and wordy, I can say it is often the result of misapprehension and not hostility. Other people may not be on your particular mental planet. That may be okay if you *know* you're floating around on your own little asteroid. But it can be painful if you assume everyone else is aware of the orbit and can spot the craters when they don't even have a telescope.

As to wheels coming off, it's always good to be prepared if you're in a rural area where self-sufficiency counts. From my perspective, it's hard to take such an attitude and stock up on provisions and ammo when you live on a street where the last gunfight was the Minutemen driving the Regulars back to Charlestown. Personally, I don't see things getting that bad again anytime soon. And if they did, this time the Regulars have armored personnel carriers, machine guns, drones, and Hellfire missiles. The balding neighborhood Minutemen might be able to scare up a .223 semi-auto and a 30-'06 bolt-action with a scope, assuming they had licenses for them.

And as to provisions, we've pretty well solved that by keeping the local Whole Foods open until 9 PM 7 days a week.

As a former "Fed" who had access to such servers, I will say this comment is 100% correct:

This loss is a technical impossibility. E-mails exist on network servers ... It's a bald faced lie and and a direct challenge ...

Not only does all federal governmental email traffic, usually utilizing MS Outlook,(the IRS does as demonstrated by the formats already shown) travel through servers, on to other servers, and so forth, all of the servers are backed up minute to minute, to even more servers. Short of a nuclear exchange involving several cities, this is impossible...and a lie. You cannot "lose" a selected group of "sent" emails based solely upon the addressees. Coincidently I have copies of all my emails, inbound and outbound, over such federal servers going all the way back to 1995. If I could so it, they must think we're all morons to believe that they can't and didn't.

Now, given our Justice Department and AG Holder...what can you or we do about it?

Absolutely nothing.

Manchurian candidate indeed....it works because there is NO defense.

Hey Jude!

You're the only who should be obscure!

Heh.

I just got banned from a TV site because I made a Yoko Ono joke.

They called me a racist and a misogynist.

I said....and?

Trooper York said...

Meanwhile a whole gaggle of biddies spend their time trashing Jason Hoppy who is divorcing noted bitch Bethenny Frankel. They attribute every bad act of their ex-husbands, or ex-boyfriends or imaginary boyfriends or whatever. Nonstop 24/7.

Trooper York said...

The world has become nonstop politically correct.

rcommal said...

DBQ, I complimented you.

Haz, I now live in a quite the blue state, overall (and certainly in terms of its laws and regulations). No, I won't be be more clear, and or good reason.
