    Umm...was my line so easy you didn't have to name the song?  :wave:

    George

    My post seems to have been eaten by cyberspace!

    I had posted the artist with the song,
    "Jefferson Airplane" with "WHITE RABBIT."

    https://www.cluedupp.com/pages/events-schedule

    When I went to play the "Alice in Wonderland" game, I found myself humming "White Rabbit" part of the time. The other part of the time, I was humming "Don't Come Around Here No More."  (If you want to know why, watch the video, then you'll see.) 

    (Now, let's see if it saves this time, now that I mentioned the other game.)

    Did they merely insist, or were they successful in getting it posted here? Link?

    I was not privy to the exact discussion. (I might have been laughing too hard to help if I HAD been in the room when that was discussed.)  Paw did agree to post their response.   I'll see about finding a link when I'm up to it.

  3. SIMILAR riff, but not identical. I could easily tell them apart by those riffs.  A lot of songs sound a lot like another song, or like another artist's style, but aren't identical.    The band "Texas" did a song that had a moment that sounded like they were going to segue into Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing."  Another band did a song, and, when it aired, both me and the DJ said "That's Billy Idol's "Flesh for Fantasy" being ripped off".   That one might have been intentional.

    Forgive me if this has already been discussed but i was talking to a friend from Junior Corps and she reminded me that I had said that this motorcycle was the frist time I thought TWi was being shady. It was either at The Rock or Corps Week. They had us all "give" (no pressure or anything lol) so we could buy a "surprise" gift of a motorcycle for VPW with a side car for his wife. I remember feeling ressured and lied to. How on earth was this going to be a surprise? With all the money we give, we have to give more so he can have a fancy bike? i brought it up at a Junior Corps meeting and was yelled at and sent to bed. Loudly being reproved for being right is a terrible way to raise a child.      

     

    Whenever vpw visited a place, they assigned people to buy his creature comforts out of pocket (like bottles of Drambuie as one poster reported- their first experience buying alcohol.)  On top of everything else, they took up collections of nice, untraceable cash which was handed over to vpw in a bag. I'm sure he was happy not to report that to the IRS.   He also made no secret that he could-and did-  go to the twi treasurer whenever he felt like he needed some cash, and got it.   ALSO, a LOT of things owned by twi were reserved for his SOLE use, and he called them "MY STUFF."

     

    If there is a "special hell" for child molesters and people who talk in the theater, I hope vpw gets imprisoned in its worst part.

  5. Someone reported that vpw smashed it up, and it was repaired all hush-hush.

    There was a different story about vpw planning on motorcycle riding throughout the USA.  I think he made a few stops, to lots of fanfare and fuss, and then it was quietly dropped.

     

    IIRC, LIfe Magazine covered twi, and Time Magazine covered vpw a year later.  The Life Magazine article was called "the Groovy Christians of Rye." It was about the WOWs posted to Rye, NY. I think the locals wanted to make them sound like nuts, but the article made them sound more together than the locals who criticized them.    A year later, Time covered some religious leaders, and vpw sounded like a nut.  There was a photo of vpw with a motorcycle there.  I JUST started wondering if that was related in any way.  I doubt it, since the article was around 1971 (give or take a year).

    The Three Musketeers

    Right. That second list was the actors for the eponymous characters. Michael York played D'artagnan, who, as we all should know, was not one of the THREE Musketeers.  He was a hot-blooded young Gascon (a stereotype and redundant) seeking to JOIN The Musketeers.

    This is a clue isn't it WordWolf, but it's not ringing any bells for me yet.  Which line is the one where we are supposed to recognize it from?  You know, "Songs remembered from just one line:"?

    I've known people that weren't fans of this band, and still knew this song from the first line I posted.  I'm hoping someone can get it in a few hours.  If not, I'll try a different song.
