Okay, I'm getting weird. Chloe is at my feet and chewing on a cloth toy (now she is doing the head shake, pretty funny (she is a dog and all)).

The video of Joe Cocker (I was going to say great name but....) is classic... and he acts like people THINK people with TBI act... it is so wrong, but the video is so right...

I hope you all like it, 3 million people have watched it already.

I think we need Josh Blue's commentary on Joe Cocker's performance.

Embarrassed to admit that I don't know who Joe Cocker is

Why?

I'm not ashamed of my love for Joe Cocker's talent. (But I am a closeted Neil Diamond fan!)

Maybe becuase when I asked the hubbs who he was... he rolled his eyes at me lol

When I read your comment I thought you had posted something to the effect of you being embarrassed to know who he was! (In my defense, I am recovering from a traumatic brain injury! )

Well, EsthersDoll, I am an 'out of the closet' Neil Diamond fan.

I also liked The Carpenters. The music of those years of 'First love' tend to stay with us.

I think Joe Cocker was sort of the Rap version of the late 60's and early 70's.

The Woodstock generation did have some of the best music. Quite an eclectic range of music and expression.

But, Joe Cocker does look like he hit his head just before coming on stage. Or maybe he just took a hit.

My mind was altered enough. I never needed any mind altering 'help.'

I saw Neil Diamond perform at MSG a few years ago with my mom - it was AWESOME! (I'm actually, an "out of the closet about being a closeted fan".)

I'm a huge Classic Rock fan so I agree with you about the Woodstock generation.

I've seen thousands of live music shows - and that doesn't include any that I was paid to work at. I like many different genres of music. I just wish I could listen to music more often than I can now because of this head injury! That's one of the biggest experiences that I miss because of this brain injury I sustained - that I'm not able to see live music as much as I did. And even listening to recorded music can tucker me out a great deal very quickly. I miss music being more in my life.

Anyway, I think he just looks high in this video... but that's kind of like a self-inflicted head injury, right?

Did you know that John Lennon liked Cocker's version of "With a Little Help From My Friends" better than The Beatles' version?

I never attended any live shows besides The Carpenters. I needed to be able to control the sound volume. I did not care for acid rock or some of the other high intensity rock. Three Dog Night, Chicago, Santana, B,S, & T, CCR, etc. were more my style. Neil Diamond was always far too expensive. Raising a family took priority.

As a result, I still have most of my hearing with only a small loss at the high end.
