Title: Al Jardines Big Mistake Post by: Pretty Funky on September 20, 2011, 07:15:14 PM Poor Mike cops a load but Al goofed here IMO!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5eoGLWQw-M Its one thing to diss the missus during a divorce but to change a song title and lyric....for the worse! A lot of BB songs would need to have new titles if this was the case! ;) Title: Re: Al Jardines Big Mistake Post by: Paulos on September 20, 2011, 07:54:54 PM It's not the first time that Al had done this with Lady Lynda, after the divorce it was sang live as 'Little Lady'!

Title: Re: Al Jardines Big Mistake Post by: Pretty Funky on September 20, 2011, 09:50:06 PM Make Love, Not War. Right Mike? ;D Title: Re: Al Jardines Big Mistake Post by: Nicko1234 on September 20, 2011, 10:26:29 PM Lady Liberty is a terrible song and I like the original.
I think Al's big mistake must still be his ponytail though. Title: Re: Al Jardines Big Mistake Post by: Dunderhead on September 21, 2011, 12:24:50 AM Never liked the song tbh, is there a better early version like Santa Ana Winds?

We wrote it in Big Sur in 1976 The only BBoys on the vocals are Al and Mike. Bobby Figueroa, Eddie Carter, Eddie Tuleja and I were the back-up vocals. The electric wurlitzer piano was originally the sound my band King Harvest used on Dancing in the Moonlight. So, yes, this was in the same kind of non-bboys production that Al and I did on MIU. And we had a great time doing it.

Title: Re: Al Jardines Big Mistake Post by: The Shift on September 21, 2011, 05:36:54 AM I remember hearing Lady Lynda on BBC Radio 1 when it was released as a single from LA (Light Album) and was delighted that my fave group had released a credible single.
And blow me down, it reached number 6. At school, my fandom didn't seem to uncool, suddenly. A year later, September 1980, I heard Surf's Up for the first time, also on Radio 1 – Kid Jensen's parting shot, in fact – and I realised just how cool that band could have been. |
