I think people, perhaps, sometimes, take trees for granted. Trees provide shade, habitats for animals, shield your car from hail storm damage, etc...Not saying to hug one, but trees are definitely awesome. 'Om' near one today. I will profess, right here and right now, that...I love trees. You've come to the right place, as (to follow) are some songs about trees.  Since I have started this, I will begin with: (I have a fondness for the weeping willow (and yes, Eeyore, too).) The Verve - Weeping Willow 

"Sly Stone, Family Stone Architect Who Fused Funk, Rock, and Soul, Dead at 82" - Rolling Stone Magazine  "Wildly inventive musician and singer uplifted crowds..." Thank you, Sir, for every amazing moment you shared your unique talents with us!

 Hello.  🙂Let's share... Any song with 'Begin(s)' or 'End(s)', in title or lyric, will do! One could use 'Beginning' and 'Ending,' as well. I will begin with: The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends 

Hiya! How BIG or SMALL, can you go?  🙂 Please post your most favorite songs with 'Big' or 'Small' in title. (Lyrically is fine, too!) I will begin with:  Faith No More - A Small Victory  ________________________________________________________________Thanks to all of the lovely Rock N' Roll contributors! x 🙂

How many of these are there?  

Only in Hawaii It is fairly standard to see homeless people dragging shopping carts on their respective journeys around town. But what I witnessed a few days ago while I was ensconced in my car was truly priceless. An oversized shopping cart adjacent to the entrance of Longs Drugs was brimming with a stupendous concoction of bulging trash bags that rose at least six feet high. Soon a homeless person came to retrieve his possessions. Using a long coiled rope attached to a makeshift crossbow, he moved his belongings away from the drug store.  At first, he made little progress. But after spasmodically grunting, gasping, and lurching, the man managed to pull the massive cart to a stop light. He soon disappeared. I admired him for his perseverance and his ingenuity. Although I never got a chance to find out what the man valued in his cargo, I bet that his explanation would be a whopper.That same day, I saw something almost just as amazing, this time on the highway. A man riding a

Right or Wrong, please post your most favorite songs here. In title or lyrical. Thanks!  I will begin with:They Might Be Giants - Everything Right Is Wrong Again 

How do I post photos of gorgeous 80 something-year-olds for consideration in the publication

Songs that do not have the title in the lyrics. D’Yer Mak’er-Led Zeppelin 

 This was a sarcastic response to the real GQ magazine cover:

Good Cheer GaloreI enjoy watching TV dramas. I have noticed that every time someone describes a potential mate, that person is routinely characterized, among other attributes, as funny. From my experience at least, as a child and as an adult whose default was being serious and working constructively, very few people (acquaintances, family, and friends) have been even remotely funny.Now in Hawaii, however, my wife and I have become attached to a couple of women whose conversation is consistently hilarious. I cherish their company so much that I have invited them to join my wife and me for our 56th wedding anniversary. It will be a hoot! I am not just a spectator. Although it is not my nature, I spontaneously laugh along with them. And I need all of the good cheer that comes my way, considering that I tend to be too sober-minded.Research indicates that laughter enhances one’s life and one’s life span. I am a believer. It took me only 80 years to do so.Letting go of my intellect in the pr

This topic is wide open. Could be actual Math Rock, with complex rhythms or weird time signatures, such as the band American Football with their song Never Meant: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_NfnXdXpjL0 OR you could also include songs containing numbers and/or Math terms in either the title or the lyrics, such as Love Minus Zero / No Limit by Bob Dylan. Whatever! Oh, and no worries if you post something that someone else has already posted here. That would just be Math Rock Squared! 🤓 

After checking thru all our topics, I could not find one about songs about prayer and religion. There are, I think, a lot of rock songs out there that fall into this category. The song can have it in the title or in a verse, talking about prayer or religion. We should have fun with this! I will start with a fav of mine:"Losing my religion" by REM

It is the bleak time of year..  cold and dark..  no color    so how about it we add some.. How many songs do we know that have colors in the title or words

Joyful ObservationYesterday in our car, my wife used her Bluetooth device to play some melodic cantorial chanting. At a red-light stop on the outskirts of Waikiki, I noticed a nondescript man in a vehicle next to ours. He was moving his upper body as if in sync with the Hebrew music that I found so entrancing. At first glance, the man’s rhythmic bobbing up and down reminded me of the ritual of a devout Jew who would reverently mumble to himself while praying (davening) whether it be in a synagogue or on public transportation.Of course the man in the car might have been moving his body for a variety of reasons unrelated to the music enhanced by my Bose speakers. Nonetheless, I’d like to make him an honorary member of the tribe. Serendipity is alive and well in Waikiki.

Here's a new category to try out: Songs With An 'Attitude' It can be the title or the lyrics or both. Just have fun with it.

Lots of songs out there with a metal in thetitle. Any kind of metal in the title will work.I’ll start with a favorite of mine:Gold dust woman, Fleetwood Mac 🥇

The Kentucky Derby is oft referred to as “The Run for the Roses.” In honor of the 151st running of the race, I thought a play list of songs with the word Rose or Roses in the title might be apropos. Run at the Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky annually on the first Saturday in May, it is the first leg of the Triple Crown, which also includes the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. The latter races will offer a segue to yet another fitting playlist of songs with the word Horses in the title – stay tuned. Alternately called “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” “The Fasted Two Minutes In Sports,” or “The Greatest Two Minutes In Sports,” it was actually run in under two minutes by Secretariat in 1973 with at time of 1:59.4, quicker than any song on the playlist. Amazingly enough, every horse in the field in this year’s 2025 running can trace its ancestry five or six generations back to this legendary racehorse. Dan Fogelberg’s 1981 release from Innocent Age lends

Songs with “Life” in the title or lyrics. This will be separate from Kelly’s “Living and Alive” topic since there are a lot of “life’ songs to be played.  It’s My Life - Bon Jovi 

Thought this may be a bit different and cool to try. Songs opening line should be the Song Title. I’ll start with a fav of mine: She loves you, Fab 4️⃣
