Sunday Music

Jonathan Rowe on Apr 29th 2007

This is one of my favorite Bad Company tunes and wish it would get more airplay, as opposed to the half dozen other ones that are played to death. The following is not an official video, but one of those “YouTube” creations which features the recorded album version.

And this is a live version from Bad Company in 2002 which shows that Paul Rodgers has still got it.

    I like Bad Company too, and this is a great song. I think I’ve only heard it played on the radio maybe once.

    I think there’s some weird unwritten rule about bands, that you can only play select songs ad nauseum. Kind of like how if a station plays a Van Morrison song, 9 times out of 10 it has to be Brown Eyed Girl.

    I really don’t understand.

    If I hear “Ramble On” one more time, I’m going to kill myself.

    After Bruckner’s, Beethoven’s, and Haydn’s Masses (my Sunday services), I hang with the 6ths and Magnetic Fields. Music, from Gregorian Chant (esp. Salve feste dies), Bach, Berlioz, Sibelius, Elgar, to Neil Diamond, Journey, Amanda Lear, Depeche, etc., is my Muse, but the Romantic in me still cannot tolerate hard (acid) rock, rap, hip-hop, punk. Bad Company, however, is good company. Sarah Vaughan, however, is supreme. Soul. Feeling. Melifluous.

    “Bad Company, however, is good company.” LOL. I like that. And I agree — after studying it in detail in college — “concert” music (so called “classical music”) is real music. Compared to a Beethoven, Bach or a Bartok, everything else is fluff.
