What kind of music you hear while you trade?

A bordello. His mother was a sex worker and it was a trap for him.

Having a birthday today is Mr Cat Stevens, singer, songwriter, who had the 1967 UK No.2 single 'Matthew And Son', and the 1972 UK No.9 & US No.6 single, 'Morning Has Broken'. He wrote 'The First Cut Is The Deepest' covered by many artists including PP Arnold, Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crow. Stevens converted to the Muslim religion in 1977 changing his name to Yusef Islam.

A little trivia:

Canned Heat, Nazareth, Edgar Broughton Band, Groundhogs, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Medicine Head, all appeared at Buxton Festival in Derbyshire, England. Hell's Angels arrived in force and proceeded to drink the site dry. Initially they paid for the booze, but when the money ran out a deputation was sent into the audience to collect donations of 10p per person. About 20 minutes into his set Chuck Berry was showing one of the Angels how to do his duck-walk properly. He did one from one end of the stage to the other and disappeared into the wings. The band played on, the Angels bopped, and Chuck legged it to his car and drove off at high speed, never to return.

Whoa! Thanks for that information.

Romântica

Having a birthday today is Mr Rick Davies, vocalist and keyboardist with Supertramp, who had the 1979 UK No.7 and US No.6 single with 'The Logical Song' and the 1979 US No.1 and UK No.3 album Breakfast In America. Davies is the only member of Supertramp to have been with the group for their entire history, and has composed many of their most well-known songs, including 'Goodbye Stranger', and 'Bloody Well Right'.

And a birthday also for the multi talented Don Henley, singer, songwriter, and drummer with the Eagles, who had the 1977 US No.1 & UK No.8 single 'Hotel California', plus 5 US No.1 albums. The Eagles 'Greatest Hits 1971-1975' is the second biggest selling album in the world with sales over 30m. Henley had the 1985 solo US No.5 & UK No.12 single 'The Boys of Summer'.

I think I have seen Up in Smoke about 10 times in my youth.....

A birthday today for English multi-instrumentalist, Andy Mackay, who with Roxy Music scored the hit singles 'Street Life', 'Love is the Drug', 'Dance Away', 'Angel Eyes', 'Jealous Guy' and 'Avalon'. Mackay has also worked with Duran Duran, Mott the Hoople, John Cale and Paul McCartney.

Here's a blast from the past.....happy birthday to David Essex, UK singer, actor, (1974 UK No.1 single 'Gonna Make You A Star', plus 18 other UK Top 40 singles, 1974 US No.5 single, 'Rock On').

An incredible musician who passed away 2 years ago, but would have celebrated his birthday today is Tony Joe White, US singer, songwriter, best known for his 1969 US No.8 single, 'Polk Salad Annie' (also recorded by Elvis Presley and Tom Jones) and ‘Rainy Night in Georgia’ which he wrote but was first made popular by Brook Benton in 1970. He also wrote 'Steamy Windows' a UK No.13 single for Tina Turner. White died of a heart attack on October 24, 2018, at the age of 75.

Lastly (for now), Happy Birthday to Slash, (Saul Hudson), guitarist with Guns N' Roses who had the 1988 US No.1 and 1989 UK No.6 single Sweet Child o' Mine and the 1991 US and UK No.1 album Use Your Illusion II. Their 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction has sold approximately 30 million copies worldwide, including 18 million in the US, making it the best-selling debut album of all time. Slash went on to form the side project Slash's Snakepit and then Velvet Revolver, who had the 2004 US No.1 and UK No.11 album Contraband.

White had a terrific deep, rich southern drawl going for him that was a winner.

I listen to a playlist on Spotify called -RapCaviar

just want to make a confession here

I don't know what the hell happens to me on this website, to be honest it was my only social interaction for a good few years of a sad life back in my 20's..

(Only when im on this website) Sometimes after a few too many beers and when I'm feeling pretty good about things I go full psycho !!... I can't explain why.. but things in my life now are really good and that psycho mind dumping troll is just not me.. its really bizarre .. but still I do it on here

We're just here to make some pips and have some company in the meantime... I don't know why I get this Napoleon Complex thing happening sometimes but clearly even after all this time I still can't seem to shake it or at the time actually realise what im doing, even though I ask myself ...(that's the scariest part)

"Napoleon Complex" is a theorized inferiority complex normally attributed to people of short stature. It is characterized by overly-aggressive or domineering social behavior, such as lying about earnings, and carries the implication that such behavior is compensatory for the subject's physical or social shortcomings.

Once a while ago Twee had to Message me about alcohol induced psychosis

this was a good few years ag now... its just such a shame that even though my life very happy and fruitful now... still the same things seem to surface. I guess all I want to do is apologise for the offences and ridiculous things that I wrote like a power hungry bully. It's really just a shame I can't make sense of it myself, other than that many years ago I was very deprived and subject to quite a bit of bullying by the older guys on this site,

Maybe that's just some prt of me now trying to hut back at them for whatever hurt they caused me..

All that aside I'm just sorry and feel terrible about it. I deleted most of it but just hope not many had the displeasure of seeing my shame
