Damn your eyes, Jim!!!
But seriously, I realized my mistake almost immediately and was going to write a nice mea culpa, admitting to a "Teenage Wasteland" (AKA senior) moment. Well as Bones used to say to another Jim in such circumstances: "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor (of jurisprudence), not a (whatever)".

Van Der Graaf Generator: "Killer" (listen to the words)
Emerson Lake & Palmer: "Knife Edge" or something from "Tarkus"

Sam Wrote:Not to change the subject guys but since you all seem to be musically knowledgable, has anybody ever came up with a good theme song for the RJ movie???????
The flick needs an original theme. Gee, Paul, I just happen to know a composer/lyricist team that does quality work at very reasonable rates. I believe you can contact them at...hold on just a sec, let me see here...oh, yeah!--bluesman2628@yahoo.com.
BTW, Sam, I see you're posting from Point Pleasant, WV. Were you around during the Mothman days? I've known John Keel, author of THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES for a long time. He was a constant visitor to Point Pleasant in 1966-67. Strange, strange goings-on.

Afraid it was a few years before my time. I used to date Linda Scarberry's daughter for over a year and there is a couple of stories that I'm not sure Mr. Keel was aware of. It has been a long time since I read his book. My mom lived here during the events but didn't have any experiences. Everett Wedge is my landlord but I've never spoken to him about any of it. Of the people I know personally who were involved, he is the one I'd "trust" the most. A pretty straight-forward guy from what I can tell. I figure if he wanted to talk about it , he would. I think something did happen back then, but what exactly I don't know. I'm pretty skeptical about everything. Got to see it to believe it. I do know that there is an abundance of ghost experiences here. Had a few myself that I couldn't explain as anything but. What was Mr. Keel's thoughts on the movie?? The majority of the town was disappointed.
So, what do you play? I play a little guitar myself. Just whatever catches my ear. Anything from Andre Segovia to Pantera. I can't play like them, but I love to try. As for the Blues, I'm an SRV fan. The video Live at El Mocambo blows me away. I have some bootlegs of Randy Rhoads (my all around fav) but most are poor quality video. I think Jack needs a bluesy song along the lines of "Dirty Deeds..." by AC/DC.

That's an ugly song, but a good idea. I can hear something along the lines of Elmore James's "Dust My Broom" -- same slide riff, same tempo, just different words:
The R-J Blues
I wake up ev’ry mornin, feelin troubled all the time
You know I wake up ev’ry mornin, feelin troubled all the time
Gotta find me a repairman, who can fix my worried mind
Goin down the corner, find this guy I heard about
Gonna drop a dime on Ma Bell, call this guy I heard about
Gonna tell this guy my problem, see if he can help me out
Well I give him all my money, every cent and that’s all right
Yeah, the repairman took my money, every cent but that’s all right
He went and fixed that problem, and now I sleep so good at night
Don’t go messin’ with this fella, or you’ll find a world o’ hurt
You mess with the repairman, you could find a world o’ hurt
You may think you're havin' dinner, but you’ll get yo’ just desserts.
The guy might be an angel, but he could be the devil too
Yeah, Jack might be an angel, or he could be the devil too
Only thing I know is, you don’t want him mad at you.

Time to round up the guys from the old band and get some studio time.

Yeah, the words to Dirty Deeds are wrong for Jack, but I was thinking of the music. Something kind of dark and hard hitting. Don't think I've heard the song FPW mentioned but will check it out. Heh, maybe Tenacious-D could come up with a song.

You've never heard "Dust My Broom"? A treat awaits: It's called The Blues.

Heard a short clip of that song and it does kick ass. It sounded familiar so I looked at the credits of a movie I have called Crossroads ( NO, NOT the Britney Spears one) but it wasn't on the soundtrack. The movie has to do with Robert Johnson, and his song "Crossroads" is on the soundtrack but most of the music is written and performed by Ry Cooder. It's actually a really good movie with a great soundtrack and a killer guitar duel at the end. Check it out if you get the chance. Think you will like it.
