Rocky You Met Your Match - A July 4 🎆 Composite

[peepeep]

The first still is the fireworks PD confiscated from a driver doing burnouts and donuts in an intersection. The driver and passenger hightailed it (abandoning the car) when stopped.

Rocky shimmying up the fig tree.

Consecutive still frame flashes of the stuff being set off in the neighborhood.

Big and bad it was. Ka-boom.

[peepeep]

Me, too. And favorite album of theirs, if forced to choose.

[peepeep]

A better show

@K6CCC

I have shot video of many professional fireworks shows over the years - both using Wyze cameras and a drone. Here’s one I shot with a V2 camera that was in the middle of the firing pit pointed straight up. This video is the last minute of the show.

My top Fab Four album is Abby Road. But The White Album comes in a close second. There are a couple of songs that I don’t like (Helter Skelter and Why Don’t We Do It In The Road) and one that is just dumb (Revolution 9),

[peepeep]

Yeah, it’s pretty tight.

Here’s a couple others you might not like:

Bugs (Remastered)

Pearl Jam - Vitalogy Expanded (Full Album)

Stupid Mop - ‘Hey Foxymophandlemama, That’s Me’

If these aren’t nods to Revolution 9 I’ll eat my 

[peepeep]

And I’m guessing this is Jack White’s Rocky

Carolina Drama - The Raconteurs (Lyrics On-Screen)

[peepeep]

Next up: Yoko chittering

[mvb]

You’re right, I don’t.

Here’s a couple others you might not like:

This is excellent. It makes me want a suitable antonym for “recommendation”.

It also made me want to pull up and listen to “Rearviewmirror” from Vs..

[peepeep]

I really like this, it’s as good as anything, I think…

PEARL JAM PINKPOP 1992

[Crease]

Maybe @mvb is in this camp:

What Pearl Jam sounds like to people who don't like Pearl Jam

[peepeep]

Inspired.

[Crease]

I thought maybe it would’ve been an acceptable…um…“alternative”!

[peepeep]

I told a boomer friend about the pinkpop, ‘Just imagine, you just wrote this, and here you are, there, playing it, at your peak, to a crowd like that, in the rain. So much fun. Just awesome.’

They were a little moved but not that much.

[Crease]

I’m not watching at the moment but have it playing in another tab so I can listen while reading. Parts early on seemed jam-bandy and made me think of Spin Doctors or The Black Crowes. I dig it.

[peepeep]

The exuberance is peak. Infectious. Makes me happy for them.

[mvb]

I can say I’m firmly in the “don’t like Pearl Jam” camp. I don’t like grunge rock at all, But I admit to being a “boomer.”

[peepeep]

@mvb ! Good to see ya!

You’re invisible now
You got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel?

Guess the ‘boomer?’

C’mon, you don’t need this!

[mvb]

I don’t even have to look that one up. I just sang the words in an off cadence monotone in my head and voila - Bob Dylan!

[peepeep]

Y’never know, some folk effectively block out the wordy Zimmerman. A resolute @Customer comes to mind.
