Here's a live version of a song I wasn't sure even ever existed.
I thought it was on the radio in about '79 but for about 25 years could never find an Elvis record with it. Then one day in a record store I found "Get Happy" and viola! I freakin' knew it was true, it did exist.

Years ago I went to a small club in Richmond VA to see Robert Plant and in the audience near me was none other than Elvis Costello. It was a good show but seeing that guy in the audience caused the music to sound 25% more cool.
There was a number of years STP was my default music if I couldn't decide what I felt like listening to my stereo setup was an old school Panasonic receiver, Sony CD player & two largerish speakers.
Denon amp, Klipsch speakers, Teac cassette deck to record tapes for the car, Bang & Olephson belt drive turntable and by the time the Pilots hit the airwaves a Yamaha 5 cd changer.
Eventually a Yamaha receiver, Yamaha DVD changer and Yamaha dual cassette deck wired together via sort of ethernet connector so one remote could start the cassette deck recording in sync with the DVD player. Same remote could work the receiver, movie/music player and cassette deck. Same Klipsch speakers.
When I was battling the divorce blues I never could understand how happily married Eddie Vedder knew not only exactly how I felt but wrote a bunch of songs about it with the album Yield
One day a guy said "what ya doin?" I said "wishing I was a neutron bomb". He said "how come?" I said "so I could go off". Just like that he said "depression is just anger without enthusiasm".
