Grand Funk Railroad - Some Kind of Wonderful (when I was growing up on the poor side of town, I stumbled across an album by these guys that was laying out in the street and was nicked up, but I took it home and put it on my parent's record player and it sounded great - even though it had been run over at least once. It was the first album I ever 'owned'.

Johnny Cash - Man in Black

The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe

Deep Purple - Kentucky Woman (Yeah, I know Neil Diamond did it first, but I like thi sversion better)

Scott McKenzie - San Francisco

Alvin Lee & Ten Years After - Baby Won't You Let Me Rock 'N Roll You

It has been recorded by so many different artists and, partly because it can be recorded and sung without reprisal - meaning, no royalties have to be paid. This from the article shared by @jvs "The Detroit rockers Frijid Pink made their mark with a cover of this song that went to #4 UK and #7 US in 1970." It could very well be the version you were turned on to was the one by Frijid Pink.

Very interesting read...another thing I got out of that was the song, "A World Without Love", made famous by Peter and Gordon, was written by Lennon & McCartney - very cool.

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Bues

I always thought this version - by the Animals - was the original, but please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

Mary (song by Jethro Tull)

Yeah? How many times has it split? If zero, then 4 out of 5 ain't bad.

Who is that girl? Haven't I seen her on one of your posts on "Blast from the past..."?

Invest in Oracle, Google, Intel, Microsoft and FaceBook (when they finally go public).

Most of what you've learned up to this point is nothing but lies.

Good for you stoner, I'm so sorry if your 'tag' @stoner made me skeptical.????????????

I'm sure there are exceptions, I'm just not aware of any. Doesn't mean you were not able to, but how would I know?

Good for you, I was born extremely poor and did a sh*tload with my life, so what's your point?

I think it depends on the circumstances surrounding the 'surviving partner'. If one surviving partner finds a great partner, then perhaps the other one will forfeit the will to live - sad I know, but true.

I've never been a fan, it makes me extremely paranoid and all of my 'friends' who are addicted have done literally zero with their lives, but hey...you do you, dude.

I'm no expert and I was lucky to find a partner whose company I enjoy and never get tired of. I think it's a tall order for most people to find. I was lucky, especially after being married for 30 years to a woman who I thought was my 'soul mate' (I hate that word). I never imagined I would find someone who I could spend 24/7/365 with and not get tired of them, but I wasn't looking when I found her, either.

Actually, if they died at 83 after a life of cigs and alcohol, they probably had something else going for them - like a loving and long-term relationship. My grandparents were the same - sans alcohol - they both died at 86.

After pouring through this thread it is clear to me that diet and a healthy lifestyle are not the only things that determine whether or not we will live a long, happy and healthy life. Harvard University did an 80-year study that confirms the way to a healthy and happy life, here's the link (and it has little to do with diet and or exercise - IMO, it is spot on and I live my life by this): https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/04/over-nearly-80-years-harvard-study-has-been-showing-how-to-live-a-healthy-and-happy-life/

People should be allowed to make choices that are NOT dictated based on YOUR circumstances.
