Another song on the beach
I take a trip through the past
When summer's way out of reach
Another walk in the park
When I need something to do
And when I feel all alone
Sometimes I think about you
You take my hand
Smile and say you don't understand
To look in your eyes
And see what you feel
And then realize that nothing's for real
'Cause you know it's just

Your imagination running wild

Another bucket of sand
Another wave and the pier
I miss the way that I used
To call the shots around here
You know it would've been nice
If I had something to do
I took a trip through the past
And got to spend it with you
You take my hand
Smile and say you don't understand
To look in your eyes
And see what you feel
And then realize that nothing's for real
'Cause you know it's just

Your imagination running wild

From the REAL American Idol...

Brian Wilson is awesome. That song was his catchiest in years!

I still hear it at food joints over the PA pretty frequently I think I've got it on CD around here somewheres...

[Rikk]

I picked up that album. It's got some good songs, but that's by far the best on the CD.

[bueno bob]

I downloaded it off of one pay site or another...forget which...I've paid for so many downloads, shit, I've got more CDs now than I'll ever listen to...

The Tattooine Idol.

Oops, lmao

Here we go:

Imagination was a good album by Brian.

Most of the diehards like South American, Lay Down Burden and the title track the best.

I still think Brian Wilson '88 has the best material, even though it's got that 80's synth production.

[Rikk]

That's one reason I haven't picked up his '88 album yet...I'm wary of the synth production. I can't believe how many musicians had ruined albums in the 80s because of those fucking synths, big drums and super-reverb of the time...

[Warham]

The album is worth buying just for Melt Away. That might be his best song since he's been solo.

I forget the name of the last track on that album (something about Santa Ana, maybe?), but it's TOTAL Beach Boys stuff. Very cool track, and the album really is pretty good, all things (production) considered.

Rio Grande?

The motion is made and seconded.

Indeed. Shouldn't it be put in HOUSE OF MUSIC? Its creator will certainly let it die because it won't get the attention it wanted out of it...

[bueno bob]

MOOOOVAAAHD!

[Guitar Shark]

I would have moved it to the Dump, but this will do JUST FINE!

why? ain't much musical about that popschmear karaoke on steroids shit. i-DULL.

[Rikk]

It is pure crap, agreed. But so is JOURNEY. And JOURNEY threads or OSMONDS threads would also go in here.

here's a reality check.

American Idol winner Ruben Studdard is playing a rib festival here.

or maybe they said he's in the rib eating competition, i cun't remember. kudos to AI management for really taking care of their people.

Pardon my Canadian residency ignorance here...what's a "rib festival"?

I hate AMERICAN IDOL same as most heterosexual men that are losing faith with the extreme commercialism of the music industry.

pretty much a contest between multiple establishments. they set up little booths, make their ribs, and get judged on Best Ribs, Best Sauce, etc. kinda like a county fair without the rides and only ribs for food. usually they have live entertainment all day.

[Rikk]

And this year it's RUBEN STUDDARD? Great. Obviously, the AI experience did a lot for his career. I'm sure he's kicking himself that he didn't fuck PAULA, or he maybe would have been playing a T-BONE festival instead.

[twonabomber]

it doesn't stop there...this year they also have Eddie Money, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Blue Oyster Cult.

[Rikk]

Jesus, that's sad. BLUE OYSTER CULT were once this great band. But that was decades ago.
