I may have shared this already but the “look at this cat” meme trending reminded me of my favorite vine of all-time.
More great stuff from Rick Beato.
Ride Captain RIde is an all time great song.I love Rick, but I must protest on behalf of my adopted city. You can't have this list w/o "The Rapper" by The Jaggerz, fronted by Pittsburgh icon Donny Iris.
Also wondering about Rick's tastes here. Several of those songs were immediate "turn the dial" tunes soon as you heard the first notes. Other notable omissions would be "Ride Captain Ride", "KungFu Fighting", and any number of disco hits.
Ride Captain Ride and Kung Fighting are indeed notable omissions. I think he's trying to cover more than just rock genres. The 80's list is worse. Some obvious choices, but the ranking is a bit weird.I love Rick, but I must protest on behalf of my adopted city.

A friend of mine who lives in NOLA was talking about a live performance of it that blew his mind last week. Just some band covering, but in NOLA some of those bands are really good and creative.Ride Captain RIde is an all time great song.
Kung fighting has staying power.
@August_West one of the things I was watching during lunch were reaction videos to Chicago playing 24 or 6 to 4 live at Tanglewood in 1970. Minds completely blown by Terry Kath's solo, the drums and the horns. The drum part is more amazing on Make me Smile.
There is an interview up on Youtube of the Chicago Sax player (James Pankow) talking about early days, and how Hendrix saw them at the Whisky a Go-Go in LA. He asked them to come on tour and open for him. So they jumped at that. He talks about how both Terry and Jimi were shy, and were impressed with each other, but had trouble talking about it. They were primed to record together when Jimi died.Terry Kath blew Hendrix’s mind . ( seriously , Jimi said “ Terry Kath is best guitarist in universe”)
I can’t argue with jimi
I was watching some bar pizza videos as I'm still trying to perfect my technique, and as the last one was focused on the North Shore, this other vid came up about North Shore beef sandwiches, something I was surprised to not know about given I spent two years in Quincy.
I find myself watching a fairly benign video on different takes on the beef sandwich and then this happens:
One of the stars of that vid, BP Hammers, could give Davey Pageviews a run for his money as evidenced by this TikTok review.
Since I came there as a non-native, territory meant nothing to me. I went all over, but never heard of these things. I cross river bridges in Pittsburgh too.Well Quincy is south shore if anything, so north shore is enemy territory.
I know we have some Rick Beato fans here. Just watched this clip, interesting stuff.
