Camino LS6

Razor: Ice by Crack the Sky from Animal Notes (or Safety in Numbers can't remember which) written by John Palumbo TJ: Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd

You get it, you post the next set of lyrics. Song title and Band/artist (album and songwriter(s) if you know them) Here's mine: Well I been drinkin' again And I know it's a sin But I just can't refuse an old friend Cause life is gettin' me down And I been two times around And there ain't nothing but pain around the bend I'm not made for the time I'm born in the wrong century There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Now this old world is a fright You know my future ain't bright And I'd just crawl in a hole if I could Or maybe live out in space Or some other far away place And not come back to this earth till it's good Oh but I'm dreaming again I know that I'm here till the end There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Well you might think that I'm all wrong The things I say in this song I really wish I could see it your way Cause there's a storm rollin' in And it just might be the end So I'm praying we'll all get away Now my cup is running dry The weight of the world gets me down There's way too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes There's nowhere to turn So I'll just have to learn not to cry, no more It's all I can do till we find something new But I'll get by you know I'll try In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes.

At 42, I have no effin clue what I want as goals anymore.

This one made the Christmas album too: Ring Out, Solstice Bells Now is the solstice of the year, winter is the glad song that you hear. Seven maids move in seven time. Have the lads up ready in a line. Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Join together beneath the mistletoe. by the holy oak whereon it grows. Seven druids dance in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Praise be to the distant sister sun, joyful as the silver planets run. Seven maids move in seven time. Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming. Ring out those bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells. Ring on, ring out. Ring on, ring out.

I Believe In Father Christmas They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth I remember one Christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a Silent Night And they told me a fairy story 'Till I believed in the Israelite And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes 'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave New Year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas you get you deserve.

I did a search and got lost in "Tull Land" until just now. The song is called "A Christmas Song" It seems that Tull released an entire Christmas Album a few years back that sound fantastic and I may have to find it. It is a mix of some Tull versions of standard Christmas songs, Old seasonal Tull gems, and Tull written Christmas songs. Fires at Midnight is on it. I'll see if I can find the Greg Lake lyrics.

Great tune! Also: 2000 Miles - Pretenders And the Jethro Tull Christmas song (the title escapes me at the moment)

"So this is Christmas, and what have you done? another year over, a new one just begun"

Yeah, I probably caught every episode.

I just don't think in metric, so this is a vexing question.

Yup, and there was always some crazy message left on the machine. Anyone else remember what he charged for his services? :AH-HA_wink:

"Hi, this is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message - I'll get back to you"

In addition to Northstar's points, don't forget that the Commodore was designed to be imported to the US from the start with major input throughout the process from GMNA. This situation is very different from the rush job they had to do for the GTO. Which, by the way, is a fantastic car.

"Early in the evening, just about supper time..."

Could be.

True enough,Walt. Temple of the Dog was a 90's analog of Blind Faith in my view, both albums/lineups/projects were much more than the sum of their parts. I see Temple of the Dog as the finest example of the Seattle sound - it is excellent from start to finish. "if somebody left you out on a ledge if somebody pushed you over the edge if somebody loved you and left you for dead..."

Just sent the Hawk pic, might send pics of the others.

I could never get past their inane lyrics and felt they were given way too much status vs. better bands of the day. Temple of the Dog, for instance.

A 454 always makes me smile, especially an LS6. :AH-HA_wink: Even so, the small block Chevy in all of its iterations (including the LSx engines) has to be the most significant automotive engine of all time.

Happy Birthday, fearless leader!

My pleasure. We should know in June.

Pure truth,Fly.

Just based on the pics in this thread, it looks like a class leader to me. Then again, I'm not a dash groping, NAV ninny, gadget pansy like the rest of this crowd. j/k: I just don't place such a high premium on interiors like you guys do. A nice one like this is pleasing, but far less important to me than the rest of the car. Of the pics shown, only the Altima comes close in my view. I'm with Ocn on the warmth factor. I'm with Z on the use of heritage - this car is unmistakably a Chevy with only a quick glance at the interior. In short, I like it.

I wish I knew,Northie! Haven't heard a thing about that since the news first got out.

Oh come on Evok, I made no claims that the Cadillac of the recent past was worth much in my previous post so all of your hard work to prove that point was a waste of time. I am not, and have never been, a Caddy fan as they are just not my type of car. Also, while much of what you claim rings true, I think you miss the point of my post. Had Cadillac not made the great strides it has in recent years it would be as close to extinction as Lincoln now is. The fact is that for way too long Cadillac all but ceased to be a player and now even a disinterested party can clearly see that is no longer the case. Of course they need to keep at it and follow up recent successes with new models that exceed the current ones, we all know this. I see no reason to doubt that they will. I'm glad to see that you share my view on the signicance of the CTS (I would otherwise doubt your sanity). I'd call it a turning point product even though it is one that doesn't appeal to me (except in V form). As to the sales figures of current Caddies vs. the past it seems to me that Oldsmoboi has the right of it in that what was once considered a luxury car is now mostly a memory. Luxury brands now have to wear the performance hat as well (I would credit BMW's moving ever upscale over the decades while retaining their sporting nature for this change). Adding to that the ever-increasing number of nameplates in this arena and I just can't see those comparisons as having a great deal of value. The market has shifted and splintered and though GM is playing catch-up (a fact I freely admit) they are very much in the race. I see this point in Cadillac's history as a beginning rather than some bitter end. I also see weakness(potential and current alike) in Cadillac's main competitors. Some of them have begun to act with a complacency similar to GM's own when it owned much of the NA market. So, my view is one of optimism for the continuing improvement at Cadillac. On the Benz thing I can only say to each his own. My experiences with these cars have been consistently negative. I have to ask, have you really enjoyed your time sitting on those rock hard seats? The last Benz I drove was an '03 SL500 and the electronic braking system scared me right out of the car - terrible. The car was gorgeous on the inside however and didn't suffer from the rump-punishing seats of its predecessors. The car was also pleasing to the eye on the outside, but the performance was underwhelming. While any shred of BMW's well-earned reputation remains intact I will never buy a Benz. On BMW generally, I can sum up my feelings simply. I am so angry with what they allowed Bangle to do to them because I loved the pre-Bangle cars so much. In fact, I still consider the last generation M5 to be the best all-around car ever created. I absolutely agree that Caddy isn't playing at this level - yet. Has Cadillac built a car for me? No, not quite yet - but I do expect them to soon. I really can't accept Lexus as a viable alternative to the German makes and see them as having a softer take on luxury than I'd like to see Cadillac adopt. This is just anecdotal, of course, but in my part of the country I see far more new Cadillacs than I do Lexus. BMW and M/B are as common as Camrys around here as well.
