What Are You Listening To Right Now? #25

This here is so good by Lenny Kravitz. "Always on the run" it's called.

So much fun.

 

Susan is amazing. Derek ain't too bad himself.

RIP John Prine and Jerry Garcia. And Kofe, who died a couple months before I saw the band a few years ago. His flute solo is beautiful.

 

Hard to believe that was 23 years ago. Won a Grammy. Powerful song.

 

I have this Jimi Hendrix love child theory about him.

 

Oh yeah! From the Allmans.

 

My bike weighs 1000 lbs. and only hits 110 if I have a long straightaway. I can ride 200 miles before my ass gets sore, though. Lol.

 

Butch Trucks' nephew. May Butch RIP as well. Tragic death.

 

Hmm..
Ancient Harley?
GS 1000 would hit 110 in like 5 seconds or less. That's the only 1000-lb bike I can think of.

I cranked that throttle and it felt like my feet were flapping behind me in the wind.

A guy in an f-16 saw me ripping along and buzzed me like "Oh yeah? You think you're fast? Pa-Dow!
I was hauling ass, well over 100. Probably around 130 Then I got sonic boomed.

Fast bikes can't compete with that.

 

Nah, fairly new. 2013 FLHTK Anniversary Edition. Stage 1 and dyno-tuned. I'm fine with it. I can pass easily without downshifting to fifth. Plenty of torque on the highway. Our speed limit is 80 out here, and the cops give us 10. The bike cruises along at 90 and it feels like you're doing 40. I'm happy with it, but I wish I would have gotten a Road Glide.

 

I take it you mean one of them belt-drive Harleys.

The engine has mega-torque, but as to how that transfers to the road via a belt drive..eh...

 

Sounds like Fallon NAS. No, really. Guys go out that way on their bikes all the time. Open 'em up down a closed runway somewhere. Plenty of F-16's and F/A 18's flying around Fallon. Ha!

 

They're all belt-drive.

What stops my bike, and other full-sized Harleys, is the full bat-wing fairing, windshield and lowers. Poor aerodynamics. Sure makes for comfortable cruising, though, and that's what it's about. I can push in the lighter, light and smoke a cigarette while cruising down the highway - at any speed. Road Glides have frame-mounted fairings with better aerodynamics, and I might trade mine in one day. If you want a fast Harley, go test ride one of these. I don't particularly like the future of motorsports, but it's here, and there's not much I can do about it. The bike is sickening fast, so maybe it's not all bad.

 

A classic

 

Running on Empty

 

Smooth

 

They're definitely guitar - I've seen him perform that song live - but God knows how many effects pedals he's using and what they might have done in the studio.

 

^ Russians, bless their hearts they try so hard.

 

Midnight In Harlem is a great song too.

 

Creepy

 

Not the reaction I would expect.

By the way, doesn't that singer, Илья Лагутенко (Ilya Lagutenko) of the group Мумий Тролль, (Mumiy Troll) look like Till Lindemann?

 

I have recordings of traditional Russian Orthodox chants.

I know nothing about modern secular Russian music... apparently not knowing is a blessing.

Loosen up and enjoy what life has to offer.
