Poll: What Becomes Of Todd Mayo?

[BrewCity83]

Kenny Loggins is a shrub in the pathway to Mt. Rushmore.

[Hards Alumni]

Warren Zevon is on the Mt Rushmore of American songwriters of my generation (with Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, John Prine and Paul Simon).

Kenny Loggins is barely a blip on the radar screen.

I guess we are just going to not put Carol King up there because she is a woman, eh?

[GGGG]

Carole King too.

And I always thought Zevon was English...I guess just because he sang about Werewolves in London...

[The Process]

Kenny Loggins is a shrub in the pathway to Mt. Rushmore.

One that gets peed on by drunken concertgoers.

Back to topic... I'm not sure what's going to happen to Todd.  Although all this talk about shots is making me thirsty...

Carol King wrote a lot of terrific songs over a short period, as did James Taylor. Neither has done much in the last 30 years. In addition, Carol had co-writers on many of her songs. So to me she's a giant but a notch below my top 5.

Carole King is like Todd Mayo, she's not a starter.

She passes the eyeball test more than Tom Waits though.

I like Waits, but he's an acquired taste like, scotch (which I still don't like, but know I should).

I really like Willie Nelson as a songwriter, but that's kind of like saying Jim Beam is good Bourbon. Nothing wrong with it, but nobody is ever going to applaud you for it.

EDIT: Willie's in my starting 5, like Vander Blue.

[GGGG]

No, I mean literally.  Carole King isn't a beauty, but Tom Waits is ugly.

He'll transfer to Memphis because Wikipedia says they have more people.

[Bocephys]

He'll transfer to Memphis because Wikipedia says they have more people.

And BBQ! And Josh Pastner, James Naismith's gift to college basketball!

[GGGG]

He'll transfer to Memphis because Wikipedia says they have more people.

Brilliant melding of threads....

At least his story checked out...



His name was Glenn Condrey...his name was Glenn Condrey...his name was Glenn Condrey...

[Pakuni]

This is not a Warren Zevon vs Kenny Loggins vs Carole King thread!

[WellsstreetWanderer]

What song has ever had a better opening line?

  " Went home with a waitress, like i always do
     How was I to know, she was with the Russians too......"

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

This is not a Warren Zevon vs Kenny Loggins vs Carole King thread!

You're right.

Let's get back to analogies using movies that were featured on TBS Movies for Guys Who Like Movies.

Maybe Vander is like Wade Garrett and Mayo is like Dalton? (Roadhouse in case you didn't know).

So who's the girl Wade Garrett is trying to take from Dalton?

That belongs in the "Rivers" thread

"Frank settled down in the Valley, and he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead.'
Tom Waits, Frank's Wild Years

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

So who's the girl Wade Garrett is trying to take from Dalton?

Wade Garrett wasn't trying to take any girls from his "mejo." Are you thinking of Brad Wesley? That sumbitch owned everything in that town!

[Lennys Tap]

"Frank settled down in the Valley, and he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead.'
Tom Waits, Frank's Wild Years

And further:
"His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
Who made pretty good Bloody Marys and
Kept her mouth shut most of the time"

Interesting way to describe an ex stewardess who's been around the block a time or two. The guy can write.

[brewcity77]

He'll never get the recognition because of the genre, but Greg Graffin is a fantastic songwriter.

[slingkong]

I like Waits, but he's an acquired taste like, scotch (which I still don't like, but know I should).

Who needs scotch when there's good ol' made-in-the-USA bourbon?  A good bourbon is like jeebus cried in my glass.

"You know there ain't no devil, there's just God when He's drunk" -Tom Waits

"I don't have a drinking problem, except when I can't get a drink" - Tom Waits

"If California slides into the ocean, like the mystics and statistics say it will, I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill" - Warren Zevon

"You said you were an actress, yes I believe you are.  I thought you'd be a star, so I drank up all the money" - Warren Zevon

I could go on all day.  Two of the greatest.

And the opening verse from the same song:

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
All the salty Margaritas in Los Angeles - I'm gonna drink 'em up
