4. Loves me some Steve Miller.

Rest in peace, Norton Buffalo. :hug:

:hi:

[Bennyboy]

17. Norton was the only cool thing about Steve Miller....

But he wasn't worth the three minutes per show he got shine to listen to the rest of the dreck that is the SMB catalog.

I loved Norton. gave me the best advice ever. Told me to play everything on harmonica, not just the blues. I can rock tons of stuff with that thing and I play very differently than almost anyone.(except Norton). I can do the Little Walter thing, but I love to play the melody and Norton taught me that.

[hippywife]

19. I still have memories

attached to their music. It's in the catalog of music that was my younger, wilder, more fun days so I can't really write them off that easily.

You were lucky to have contact with Norton. I am one degree of separation and many miles from having got to know him.

[MrScorpio]

5. I love Steve Miller's Music

There.

No one else around here has any excuse not to love it too.

[LynneSin]

[6000eliot]

9. I'm a space cowboy.

Bet you weren't ready for that.

[Iggo]

13. I know where it's at.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[Bennyboy]

10. I'm gonna buy me a Mercury"

and get the hell outta this thread!

Lamest act im music history. Could have been something but turned his back on music.

"That non playing Mother Fucker?"
Miles Davis about Steve Miller.

[Bennyboy]

11. I wish Steve Miller would hop on that "Jet Airliner"....

and fly the hell away from me.

And then let everyone know that Paul Pena wrote that song.


(edited cuz I couldn't remember the name of this stinking pile of lameness's name because I try to avoid hearing any Steve Miller ever and the last time I actually heard this song was Paul Pena with String Cheese Incident in 2002(?)

[LynneSin]

15. You know this is Les Paul's godson

Geez, the guy got guitar lessons from the master.

The guy totally rock'n me baby!

[Bennyboy]

16. But he got a heart from the Cowardly Lion....

The thing about Steve Miller is that he could have been good but instead "took the money and Ran".

[Iggo]

12. Steve Miller is in my Cat Stevens File.

Which is weird, because Cat Stevens isn't even in the Cat Stevens File.

Even so, he is dead to me.

[CreekDog]

14. His music is very complex

and not that good. :P

[Taverner]

18. You love Steve Miller, I love Velvet Underground and Lou Reed...

There has to be a comprimise somewhere...

[redwitch]

20. Space Cowboy I love.

When he got to "the pompitus of love" he lost me.

[bluesbassman]

21. Only up to Fly Like An Eagle.

Very spotty after that. Too much Pop.

[LynneSin]

23. I could agree with that. Abracadabra was when he seriously jumped the shark

and I think got bitten in the ass.

But all the concerts I've seen of him recently - he rarely plays that song. I think even he knows it was that bad.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. Abra, Abracadabra. I wanna reach out and grab ya. HAVE YOU NO SHAME???

All of a sudden, Rush doesn't sound so bad.

:eyes:

[LynneSin]

24. I actually don't like that song but oddly enough I know all the lyrics

True story.

I took lifeguarding lessons at a neighboring town about 15 miles from my home. Since I was still on my drivers permit, my mother would drive me to the lessons every morning. And as always I would listen to one of those cheesy pop stations that tend to play the same music over and over again. I think they did a top 10 at 10 countdown or something silly like that.

Anyhow, I guess that was when Steve Miller Band was big because everyday it would play on the radio at the same time and I would sing along at the top of my lungs (hey I was 16 - so sue me). So for some reason I know all the lyrics.

[Chemical Bill]

25. Boz Scaggs too!

He did teach Steve how to play guitar.
