  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Great Music from the 70's

I just reviewed the whole thread.. hopefully I'm not needlessy repeating.. but a large portion of the videos are "no longer available" so I don't know what they were...
Someone posted as song with this same title.. but vastly different. It did prompt a memory of:
Smith - Baby It's You

I remember when FM radio was not much of a commercial enterprise. It was almost considered "underground". We had a couple of great rock stations here. They really had no format or programming. Back in the days when everything wasn't divided into genres and sub-genres. Whatever DJ was at the helm just played whatever they wanted to play. I remember a local newspaper columnist used to complain about a DJ burping on air. Sometimes they'd play an album cut, and then the rest of that side of the album would play, and then there'd be an hour of silence, because...the DJ fell asleep? Or is doing who knows what? ^_^

Back then, we also could get this cool Mexican radio station at night, because the Mexican government didn't control how many watts a station could transmit, and their transmissions would overpower weaker U.S. stations. Z Z Top made a song about it:

Those Mexican stations would've been AMs that didn't power down at night.
Yeah I remember coming of age during the transition from AM dominated pop radio to FM.. album rock. I grew up on the plateau in Tennessee but at night I listened to WLS Chicago until KZ106 launched in Chattanooga.

I'm Not Gonna Let it Bother Me - Atlanta Rhythm Section

ARS is my favorite from the southern rock genre, and this one is one of my favorites even though they have more well known songs.

Hold the Line- Toto

I grew up on the plateau in Tennessee in a strict Independent Baptist household. Rock music was forbidden in our home. My personal collection of music in 1978 consisted of "mix tape" cassettes taped from the radio, a couple of bootleg Kiss albums on cassette and a vinyl copy of Kansas' Point of Know Return that I kept hid, only to pull out when my parents were away.

I still remember where I was when I heard this Toto song the first time.. winter 1978, after dark, in the living room of my parents house, the TV/Phono/radio console (remember those?) on WLS Chicago as I listened to the radio and kept an eye out the window for the headlights of my parents return..
This song came on.. and I had to have it. I still have the vinyl copy of Toto's first album that I secretely bought 47 years ago.
