The Never Ending Jukebox Track Three

Well as it's a hot day, here's some hot suggestions (when I say hot..................)






and as AFCB are in sunny Spain, some Spanish supermarket music.

You nip in to pick up some more beer and papas tostadas in some pokey shop and this kind of stuff is always playing.

And I love it.

 
Good choices, @Ken Baileys Ghost and you're right about Jackson Browne's composition from 45+ years ago.

Have been thinking of some of the work done by Little Steven on social/political issues. In 1985, he organized Artists United Against Apartheid and composed "(Ain't Gonna Play) Sun City". It was a fertile time for him, and here are a couple other of his works dealing with unity, indigenous issues, and being a patriot (reworked for his Live Soulfire 2017 tour). Great live act and a true music historian.


Everybody wants the same things don't they
Everybody wants a happy end
They just want to see the game on Saturday
They wanna be somebody's friend
Everybody wants to work for a living
Everybody wants to keep their children warm
Everybody just wants to be forgiven
Everyone wants shelter from the storm
Look at me I ain't your enemy
Why can't we walk on common ground
We don't need to be fighting each other
What we need, what we need is solidarity


Leonard Peltier sleeps in a prison tonight
For 400 years he's lived with justice washed white
His crime was tradition spoken with pride

And the evidence that put him there
Was deliberately falsified
And the government spends a lot of money
To keep the red man quiet


I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And I ain't no communist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't' no democrat
And I ain't no republican
I only know one party
And it is freedom
I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
 
I believe the Beach Boys were big in the UK? For me, they represented the US, where I spent a lot of my summers, cars, girls, and the beach.

Anyway, some New Jersey bands have put a tribute album together to honor Brian Wilson's compositions. A couple of really nice covers, from acts that I'll wager are not well-known there.
