George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[21st Century Man]

It has 3 cd's with all the outtakes from the session including banter with his band, and back ground singers. Elvis hand some of his regular band there... but used some studio guys to record the sessions back in July and December of 73. Someone oddly enough stole his microphone one night. Stax was some of his finest work, and sadly his last work in a studio.

Where did he record Moody Blue?

Where did he record Moody Blue?

Moody Blue was mixed with live and studio stuff, and was recorded at Graceland. I guess it was truly his last recording session, and the song Moody Blue was a hold over from a session in Feb (hehe) of 76 along with She Thinks I Still Care... but Way Down, Pledging My Love, and It's Easy for You were the last three cuts done at the end in October.

Whoa the decrease in caller quality since the Art days is in full effect tonight.  George gets the crowd all worked up with his fearmongering during the week so it's no wonder open lines is now full of doomsayers.

Don't worry I'm pretty sure that monday is alternative health show

Norry has a problem with common metaphors. And also, as well documented, problem pronouncing common words (like "powerful.") I know he talks about his family background, a bit, but I wonder if they spoke another language at home and so he wasn't immersed in English at an early age. He talks like someone who learned English much later in life and so doesn't quite "get" syntax, pronunciation, metaphors, etc. Anyone who has learned, or tried, to learn a foreign language (unless a savant) knows the most difficult part is the various accents, the metaphors, etc.

I've said the same about sNoory. He learned the English language in his early twenties, which was about the time he started shaving.

One of my favorite sNorryisms is when Georgie said someone had "...gone off the deep edge."  I think it was a little later in this show when he said "....keep you on the end of your seat." I recommend an English language coach for sNoory.  Tommy the Butler, get 'er done.

Tomorrow is more 9/11 bs, and Iraq cover ups. So the lunatics are are just getting fired up in time to remember the men and women we lost fighting here and overseas no matter if you agree with what got them there... and then Monday ON Memorial Day we get alternative health and Hollywood insiders, and it is all pretty damn sad from a guy who was in the Navy.

We were living in Philadelphia in August of 1977 and we were driving to my grandmothers house in Jackson, TN.  Starting out on our drive, Elvis was supposed to be performing in Philadelphia during the next couple of days.  A music reviewer at the Philadelphia Inquirer savagely reviewed an earlier performance from the prior week or so.  He said Elvis was becoming obese and couldn't remember the words to the songs he was singing onstage (probably true). He said Elvis basically phoned in his performance and the show was poor.  It was a bitterly savage attack and while some of the facts were likely true, we all thought the reviewer was out of line.  Anyway, we stayed somewhere in the Shenandoah valley overnight and the next day when we got into Tennesee, just past Nashville, the news came on the radio that Elvis was dead.  My brother wanted to go to Memphis to see if he could watch the funeral.  My dad took him down there and Keith, my brother, snuck into the cemetery where they were holding the service and watched from a distance before he was escorted out of the cemetery.  if you have any clippings of  pictures of the crowds surrounding Graceland at the time, my brother is probably in there.

Wow. I wasn't born until 82 so I wasn't even alive when Elvis was alive, and yeah there were times in which the man would stand on stage with a piece of paper to remind him of the lyrics... or he would forget them all together. However, he still had a great voice which was better that just about anyone even at his worst. Elvis's last show ever was right here in Indianapolis where I live in the old Market Square Arena which is no longer there, but they left a plaque in the parking lot.

His death hit our family pretty hard.  We all loved Elvis.  He felt like kin to us. Even my grandmother who lived out a small farm by herself loved Elvis and was shocked to hear he was dead.  While Dad took my brother to Memphis and dropped him off, we all sat around the TV for days watching the coverage.  All we could talk about was Elvis. My brother I think was with our cousins down in Memphis.  I was only 10 when all of this was going on but I was really starting to get into Elvis.  I couldn't believe it.

I certainly knew who he was growing up, but didn't really get into his music on my own until about 10 years ago... and think he is the greatest entertainer of our time. The other night when B.B. King passed I was listening to the Elvis essential 70's box set, and went through all the hundreds of my Elvis pics to find this one of the two kings standing side by side. They both broke a lot of ground back in their day.

[21st Century Man]

Then a few years later when were living in Georgia, I was really getting into the Beatles.  December 8, 1980.  I was watching Monday Night Football and Howard Cosell announces John Lennon has been shot and killed.  My world fell down. You have got to be kidding me.  Anyway, Double Fantasy is released with Woman as the first single and I buy both.

Those two events impacted my life tremendously and really were touchstones in my childhood. What tragedies. Mom's side of the family were all musicians.  My grandmother played the guitar and piano.  All my uncles were in bands.  I never did follow in their footsteps though I like tinkling the ivories every now and then.  Anyway, music is probably my first love.

[21st Century Man]

The Kinks, Waterloo Sunset, was played tonight as a bumper. The programmers should really use this song I am going to post as bumper.  Its even more appropriate for the 21st Century in sentiment if not in the title.

I was in a band with a couple of buddies, and we recorded some stuff using an old karaoke and a 4 track player. Plus one friend had a computer in the 90's so they did a lot of songs on there. I remember we did a song using stuff from the Princess Diana funeral, and some other cool thing... but he let the site go down. I play bass, but suck at it.

They sure did.  BB was a tremendous person.  He will be missed.

I tried playing the acoustic guitar but I gave up quickly.  I hated the process of building up calluses.  I played the trombone, pretty well too, during grade and high school but there are not exactly a lot of bands calling for horns. LOL.

[21st Century Man]

Well, that was a nice diversion from the show tonight.  Thanks, Nick and all the rest. You're aces in my book.

Oh and George, you suck now more than ever.  Your shows this week were all bad.  Not a bright spot in the lot.

When the show sucks as bad as C2C does finding something else to chat about helps pass the night. July will be here soon enough, and it will be all Art all the time... and people will be asking who that Dave guy is who hosted that one show.

/ You guys are all fun to shoot the proverbial shit with each night. Long live BellGab, and now it is time to tcb.

[paladin1991]

But you have to admit, you can't hear the sage advice "breaking up is hard to do" often enough.

OR that perennial favorite, Chipmunk Love.

[paladin1991]

Sedaka is very sappy though I sort of like Calendar Girl and this song with Elton John.  They should have left the flute out and had more guitar on it though.

I have noticed this too.  During his recent dreadful interview with the Doors biographer he seemed to have no interest in or clue about the music of the time, and only could reference sensational stories he'd heard on the news.  He seems to yearn instead for the more innocent, idealized world of earlier romantic crooners, malt shops, and general wholesomeness. 

There's nothing wrong with this, music is subjective after all, but it's another detail that points to a very bad fit for c2c, a show which should be about pushing limits, thought-provoking research, openness to radical ideas, etc.   But he continues to play those sentimental old-timey ballads.   

Yes,that was my point. Noory is lazily incurious and about as cutting edge as the hula hoop.

He's winding down...

No doubt after Noory gets to step out of the studio for 60 minutes of 1950s era theme songs for the army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard, seals, national guard, police, boy scouts, and ladies auxiliary.  Or is it Veterans Day he does that?  I always get confused by the second American remembrance day.

Well, Veterans Day is to remember those who served... and hopefully are still with us while Memorial Day is for those we lost.

Right. Memorial Day honors those who lost their lives in service, a fact that many folks (and many businesses running Memorial Day sales) have lost sight of.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Ah, thanks.  In Canada all we have is Remembrance Day on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, which seems mostly about the victims of World War I and to a lesser extent World War II.  In May, we have Victoria Day in honour of Queen Victoria, but that was last weekend.

Sadly people have lost sight of what most of the holidays are truly about.

This topic is like my kryptonite.  I will listen about it no matter how ridiculous the claims are.  The idea of some stealthy planet/star just lurking out there is just irresistable to me.  I'm not proud of this.

I also find it entertaining, and maddening to hear someone who sounds intelligent and articulate speak so seriously, and seemingly sincerely, about this. I noticed that when presented with the obvious (except to Noory) question of why we don't hear about it from the astronomy community, he fell back on the they've-all-been-warned-not-to-talk explanation. Also never heard our host ask the other obvious question about a timeline for the arrival of Planet X but at a certain point I couldn't take any more and tuned out.

[ufogadfly]

Did jorch just say "We shall unloosh our people"?

That was one of his recent best. Glad I wasn't drinking anything. Spit takes are messy.
Of course, we all suffer slips of the tongue occasionally, but every night's a flub-fest on C2C.
