MU will debut Jordans 28 against Pitt

[JoeSmith1721]

Jackson Browne lived in Greenwich Village and wrote songs and played with the Dirt Band in the mid-to-late 60's. He became friends with Lou Reed and ended up living together with Nico.  Browne was a prolific song writer and many bands recorded his work. It was during this period while living with Nico that he gave a lot of input to the Underground.

He started his own solo career with Saturate Before Using in 72 or 73. 

Wow, I had no idea, thanks for the info.

Keefe, I'm impressed with your vast amounts of knowledge. Do you work in the music industry, or just a big fan like some of us?

Just a fan. Music is important. The wife played violin and made all the kids do so growing up. Oldest almost went to Berklee.

Biggest problem when I'm in Nepal is lack of electricity. I have 2 iPods but they run out of juice. It's a long walk to get them charged.

I lived on Schroeder 10N and this cover art was painted on the walls. Just wondering if it's still there 30 years later:

By the time I got to Schroeder that had been removed. The 10th floor was also a girls floor during my tenure. Ironically, according to the Office of Residence Life, Schroeder only has "9" floors. That can't be right. Unless they do the most MU thing and not count the first floor because it is where the dining hall is located instead of dorm rooms.

That's too bad. About 30 guys helped with that art project. The walls really did look like the album cover art.

We thought that art would be there forever.

If it makes you feel any better, my son, who may be a Schroeder resident next year, loves at least 3 of these bands. I don't think he's really been introduced to Traffic yet.

Then your son has impeccable taste in music. I would recommend getting him John Barleycorn Must Die for his entrée followed by Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Side B of Last Exit is a live performance at the Fillmore and demonstrates the improvisational skill of the players which was a strength of the band. Their improv skills were so pronounced that Stevie Winwood, Dave Mason, and Chris Wood together toured with Hendrix and are featured on Electric Ladyland.

I lived on the 10th floor of Schroeder 93-94 which was the first year after they renovated.  Nothing on the walls

[Skitch]

Thanks, Skitch.

I don't know what you're thanking me for, I voted for Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters

Then I would like to think the cover art was there for 16 years. Shame they couldn't have renovated around it. Like painting over the Sistine Chapel ceiling, man.

His musical tastes were influenced by his dad, who is more of a Rush/Yes/Pink Floyd/Led Zeppelin guy.  He picked up the rest by listening to classic rock radio, which doesn't play a lot of Traffic (at least around here).  I do think it is very cool that his generation may be the first that has a great deal of commonality in musical taste with its parents. It was a very proud moment for me when I redecorated his bed room when he was a young teen and he asked me to buy this 4'x6' poster of The Who circa 1964.

Keefe, I was on 10 north a year or two after you.  79-80 and 80-81.  Room 1025.

In 79, the floor was painted over.  In '79 Under the guidance of our friend, Rocky Rochenbach, we did the cover of Dark Side of the Moon down both sides of 10N.  It got painted over

Damn, so it only lasted a few years. Rocky was on 10S the year I was on 10N; he was behind Dark Side. They had the refracted colored light running down the length of 10S. Don't know if you knew Cullen Vane but he was the one who got some guys together to do Steal Your Face.

Rocky was a great guy. I was sorry to hear he passed. Genuinely nice person who was all about giving. He was raised right. He must have been a great RA.

The RA on 10S was Pete De Salva. He was a Marine ROTC from NJ. Pete was a bit of a hard ass but then he wanted to be a Marine. I ran into him in 04 or 05 at a Joint Working Group dealing with Counter Insurgency Ops. I was an Air Force Lt Col at the time and he was a Marine Col (there is a huge difference in service cultures.) I went up to him and said, "Hey, it's Pete De Salva!" I could see it in his eyes, he was thinking "Who the f@ck is this AF Fly Boy puke and why isn't he calling me sir?" Once we sorted out the Marquette thing he relaxed and we compared life notes. I mention Pete because he was against doing Dark Side because he thought it had drug implications. It was Rocky who talked Pete down off the ledge and got him to agree.

I remember in McCormick we had some stoners who always cranked ZMF. That station hammered Rush and Led Zep first thing in the am. What a way to wake up. 

I know what you are saying about classic rock making a comeback. I heard a kid's ring tone in a Seattle Starbucks this week - it was Freebird.

Your son has great taste in music. The early Who was their best. My Generation, Live at Leeds and Who's Next are essential for any proper music collection.

1025 was 10 S, not 10 north. 

We had a few guys on our floor you might know.  Do you remember a particular kid who was the son of and admiral on 10S?  Had a rockin pair of bose 901's.

Yea. I want to say his name was Pete Eggert? His dad was a one star and Commander Naval Forces Japan in Yokosuka. He had a sh1tload of stereo gear since his dad was stationed in Japan.

It was funny because Pete was in Schroeder as a freshman. I guess he was there for two years. Is that the guy you knew? I think he was a Navy ROTC.

Yes, Pete.  He ended up dropping out of ROTC.

He was the guy behind the infamous fireworks war on 10s.  I remember pete standing at the end of the hall with a roman candle pumping rounds at us down by Rocky's room.  Pete also had a samurai sword, with which he would run down the hallway slicing open ceiling tiles in his ninja robe.

Was your husband one of those stoners who listened to ZMF all the time? Man you could hear Rush playing in the showers! Our RA in Schroeder was pretty hands off...he was shacked up with his GF who was a photographer for the Trib (Not Chuck Kouri!) Only saw him come out to go to class and to eat. I think they were supposed to have quiet hours at some point. If anyone laid down the law on our end it was Pete De Salva.

We also had this muscle head black dude, Claude Tyus who went by TC. His schtick was that he could tear yellow pages in half. By the end of the first month there weren't any phone books left on 10.

[warriorchick]

Actually, he wasn't a stoner at all.  Just had a stoner's taste in music for some reason....

[4everwarriors]

It didn't have the triangle and line thingy in that picture, but ZFB's wall had a bunch of those rainbows on it

No, but I did listen to ZMF and Rush was my first concert at age 14.  July 4th can't come soon enough.

More props to my kid.  A few years back I was able to personally tell Mike Shinoda that one of jsglow jr's. first albums was Meteora and that I considered it a wise choice.  Other kids were listening to drivel.  He understood quality music even at 12-13.

[Newsdreams]

Real Chili '83 – I was in Schroeder 4th floor N Frosh/Soph '79-'81. Also stayed at Schroeder over the summer prior to start of year so did get to see the covers done while kefee was there. Do remember seen the mural of Pink Floyd's The Wall at McCormick. We were going to do Yes album covers on our floor but were not allowed. Proud to say kids as teenagers asked to go to concerts with the wife and I. Would have never expected my children to want to see the Stones, The Police, Aerosmith.....with their parents.

Clearly he inherited some enlightened genetics from his father. I have Numb in my iPod as well as In the End from Hybrid Theory. Both offer a dark, gloomy perspective on life...I always felt like I needed to watch a Julie Andrews movie to bring back a small glimmer of hope into my life after listening to Meteora or Hybrid cover to cover.

I remember ZMF before she was taken from us...she was a raging, seething, hissing cauldron of lewdness in that otherwise cold, chaste, bland, barren tundra of abstinence. Her siren's song lured us with a lascivious playlist that leavened metal with ballads while remaining true to her primal past only to dash our youthful dreams on the silk shrouded shoals of her soul. But her raven locks, red leather halter, purple spandex tights, and spiked heels gave way to Talbots grey flannel, Bastad clogs, and the blue rinse of Henry Mancini.

It was March '79. Marquette was a sea of homogeneity back then but there were Stoners on campus and it seemed that the Office of Residence Life, in an outburst of quiet desperation, made the 8th and 10th floors of Schroeder a Gulag for Dennis Hopper wannabes. But it was an eclectic group that gathered that night to hear the dirge. There were freaks beside jocks sitting next to brains. We were an earlier and more honest version of The Breakfast Club giving lie to the sanguine optimism of John Hughes' Northbrook. Frankincense and myrrh had given way to a post modern funerary bouquet and while the mood was black the Lebanese was blond and the sickly sweet air hung heavy, redolent of the Casbah with the suggestion of our own Midnight Express though certainly without the anal rape.

Conversation centered on what would be the swan song for this great friend as she was carried across the River. The most popular seemed to be Stairway to Heaven though that seemed too trite and too Wagnerian for so lithe and young a woman. An even less inspired thought was Knockin' On Heaven's Door but its dour banality could come across as almost crass due to the acerbic cynicism of the Dylan rendition. For myself, I offered the Cream classic Crossroads as it seemed to offer the promise of choice and continuity in some form. Unfortunately no one else shared my enthusiasm and it was quickly dismissed. In the end it was the obvious and yet sublime that won out and as midnight neared it was Jimi Hendrix' Star Spangled Banner that ended the brilliant life of ZMF. 

The flat line came abruptly and was as anti-climactic and unprepossessing as Henry Fonda's Tom Joad facing backwards on that Ford, refusing to stand up and face the injustices that had taunted him and held him down. As those last melancholic notes hurtled through the Milky Way we emerged into the night as a group though each man was left alone with his thoughts and feelings of the loss we had just suffered. We trudged through the dark and as one sat down at the counter of Real Chili, hoping to find some measure of solace in the pools of grease slowly congealing atop seasoned meat.
