Song Lyric Sunday on Monday: Train Train

Since I love Rickey Medlocke, we just won't go into what I think about his reforming the band as a Blackfoot cover band without a single original member after having lawyers send cease and desist letters to the band's original surviving members aside from himself, ordering them to stop using the name. Sorry, Rickey, but not cool.

Oops, guess I went there.

Train Train was written by Rickey's grandfather, Shorty Medlocke (1910 - 1982), who was a great blues and bluegrass musician.

Oh, here it comes

Well, train, train, take me on out of this town
Train, train, Lord, take me on out of this town
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's Memphis bound

Well, leavin' here, I'm just a raggedy hobo
Lord, I'm leaving here, I'm just a raggedy hobo
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's got to go

Well, goodbye pretty mama, get yourself a money man
Goodbye, pretty mama, Lord, get yourself a money man
You take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave if you can
Oh, take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave if you can

Oh, take that train, baby

A Team Netherworld Music History Moment: The Bare-Ass Facts

Back in the early daze, AC/DC's promotional team tried to amp up the band's sex appeal. Malcolm always looked like he felt a bit silly striking sexy poses. After the group started selling albums, his clothes stayed on and properly buttoned.

Angus, however, had a natural affinity for stripping off, and showed enough skin for both brothers. This allowed Malcolm to show off the band's stripped-down sound without having to bare his assets.

Rodja Raicevic

Rodja Raicevic was born in Montenegro in 1957 and died on October 7, 2001 from a drug overdose. A sad loss. He was very talented.
My older relatives, all dead now, often listened to music like this. It's a cloudy, drizzly day and I guess it has me feeling a bit nostalgic.

Here is a longer playlist for those who, like me, find this kind of music pleasant.

A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015: T is for Tribute

AC/DC's 1980 album Back in Black was written as a tribute to the band's former frontman Bon Scott, who, sadly, died at the age of 33 after an unfortunate mishap. Unlike the rumors have it, Scott did not choke on his own vomit. He had been left in the back of a car to sleep off his state of inebriation. The weather was chilly, and Bon was a bit asthmatic. As well, he had an upper denture plate to replace teeth that had been broken in a serious motorcycle accident. The plate slipped and further obstructed his airway. The vomit was a reflex reaction by the dying body. It likely would not have killed him had he not already been fatally compromised.

Back on the Chain Gang was written as a tribute to The Pretenders guitarist, James Honeyman-Scott, who died of a drug overdose. He was 25 years old.

This song was written as a tribute Def Leppard's guitarist Steve Clark, whose alcoholism lead to his untimely death at the age of thirty. The scenes set to the song are from The Crow, so the song works as a tribute to Brandon Lee as well. Lee, the son of martial artist Bruce Lee, died in a freak accident on a movie set. He was 28.

A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015: N is for Nerdgasm

If you follow Team Netherworld's blogs regularly, you might get the idea that we're a bunch of nerds.

Guess what--you're right!

We love science fiction and we love horror. We love classic horror comics. Seeing the sweet stack of cheesy comic goodness that this guy has is giving me a massive Nerdgasm!

My sis (DJ Aurora) and I always loved horror comics. Our father (R.I.P.) said he thought it was a waste of money, but I caught him sneaking a peek more than once! Our mother said that reading them would give us nightmares. Sometimes we did get pretty spooked, but it was worth it!

The guy in the video looks like he'd be a pretty cool fellow nerd to hang out with. Plus, he has an epic beard!

What gives you Nerdgasms?
