Bob Lind's Message Board

Oops, the above posting was mine.

I suppose I'm the only one familiar with Juluka's "December African Rain," right? South African band. Great songwriting. Rain is an old African symbol for prosperity and peace between people. Geez - EVERYTHING is on YouTube. Here: a video I didn't know existed . Try to listen without watc...

A recent posting mentioned the song "Remember the Rain", and it got me thinking: This song, like countless other songs in the pop domain, makes rain a metaphor for bad times, loneliness, depression, while sunshine refers to happy times and good fortune. Now I love a fine sunny day as much ...

Very Simon & Garfunkley.

Err... Shouldn't that be "Garfunkelesque"? as in "Dylanesque", "Pythonesque" etc.?

I heard a new song today that just totally blew me away. It got me thinking, I can only recall being affected that way by a song just a few times in my life, and the first time was hearing Elusive Butterfly. To be honest, the first timeI heard EB, I think it went in one ear and out the other, I thou...

I suggest leaving a small saucer of milk in front of your keyboard overnight, and as you do so, reciting, "Net-wight, net-wight, ever fair, ever bright, drink your fill and dance tonight, smile on my RAM and gigabytes, my WAN and NAT and proxy sites." If that doesn't work, try drawing a p...

"Make up your own caption for this photo of Bob Lind and busker!" OK, here goes...

Bob: "Hey, do you play requests?

Busker: "Name it."

Bob: "A Nameless Request".

Busker: "Name it, damn you!"

Hey Michael, Thank YOU very much. Welcome to the board. Thanks for the post and for the kind words. I'm in pretty good company there with Jimmy Webb. Glad you're getting the ACE re-release. They've done a fantastic job and they're great people to work with (something that can't be said for a lot of...

To any UK fans..... Are tracks 13-22 on this CD the original running order of the UK Photographs of Feeling LP? The U.S. version is different.... The order of tracks 13-22 on the Footsteps album is: San Francisco Woman A Nameless Request West Virginia Summer Child Go Ask Your Man Remember The Rain ...

Yes, good old Icehouse, they were a good band. What's that you say? It's a venue and not a band? Excuse me! Now I am wondering if the name of the band has any connection with the venue. Probably not. For those who don't know, Icehouse were a very successful Australian band in the 1980's. They starte...

I came across the following web site: http://www.last.fm/explore/ Typing the name Bob Lind into the search box returned a fair bit of info, including an artist description that can actually be edited by registered site members, like a Wikipedia. I took the liberty of adding a paragraph recommending ...
