Tunes For Tuesday – Deep Purple “Burn” Cover
A sample of some obscure – and some maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.
Today’s selection: Deep Purple’s “Burn” cover 1974
Let me take you back to a Friday night in September 1974. A warm late summer evening. A pick-up college bar in a medium sized town in Michigan. Not really a dive bar … but the decor was open-ceiling industrial flat black. The toilets – at least the men’s version – were arranged for one purpose: getting rid of excessive amounts of cheap beer via various orifices. I’d find it hard to believe the women’s version was much different – perhaps those in the audience with experience of such places might express their thoughts … because – being a pick-up bar in a college town of the mid-70s – the girls fully participated in the fun.
Funny about all the dear, “I Love You, Man” friends I made there that were forgotten the next morning. Sometimes, I wish they had been forgotten the next morning. Sometimes, they wish I had been forgotten the next morning. Or the night before.
If I have child – unknown, unlikely, but possible – it would be about 50 years old now …
Anyway, any respectable (I use the term loosely but several of you will understand) bar of that era and that place had live music, at least on the weekends. Ted Nugent was one of the performers here. That type of dive bar. Somewhat local boy. I recall one “concert” where he basically practiced his screeching and feedback (though I like a fair amount of Nugent’s stuff, especially with Amboy Dukes – but this was after the Duke’s time and before he went solo)
On this Friday night, I had permission from the bar and band to record the show. I like this cover of Burn but the band shall remain nameless per their request. I actually like this version better than Deep Purple’s.
So – here you have a sample of Friday night bar music, 1974.

Sept 1975
I remember it like it was yesterday.
The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby
You know you can’t turn me ’round
And if a house gets in my way, baby
You know I’ll burn it down
Nice entry. I apologize for not being able to provide an appropriate comment. Rather, I have a favor to ask: what do you have as an accurate proof of the total number of illegals that entered this country during the Biden Administration. The deranged left is claiming that it was far less than 12 million. We need to have the best possible accounting. Do you have a good source? Thank you.
There is no accurate accounting.
The deranged lefts claim is nonsense meant to distract.
See, there will always be people coming into this country illegally, there is probably no way to stop illegal entry 100%.
The best that can be done, and I’ve mentioned it many times but it will never be done.
Put the goddam military system on 24 hour a day guard along all borders.
I did it in Germany, at taxpayer expense, why isn’t it being done here in the US?
The primary role of the US military is to protect the US, so why is this even a thing?
Thanks Ghost I support your recommendation, but I am desperately trying to get as accurate accounting of illegal entry during the Biden years.
Buenos suerte. They allowed the border to be mobbed and overrun to the point where there is no accounting. Only God knows how many gang bangers, child rapists, perverts and other undesirables crossed over. The left wants to create a large and permanent underclass that will be stuck on Gubmint benefits and only working, sometimes, paid under the table jobs. The underclass will vote for never ending benefits and that is how they make Democrats the permanent party.
I hope I’m wrong but I fully expect the “cheating” in the so-called voting process has been refined and will give the Dems control of the House and Senate in ’27. Therefore it won’t matter who runs in either party in 28; the Dems could even run just a picture of Biden and win by a large margin. They’ll have the entire govt under their control and then us’uns will be punished for “wrong-thought”.
Those who have “enough ammo” as some suggest will end up as “suicides by cop”. I doubt there’s any escape short of a true civil war … which will be within the context of a major world-wide war with no real clear “us” and “them”. Ugly is near upon us.
I’m not religious in the traditional Christian sense but if Christ died in the year 33AD, would not the “Second Coming” and judgement day possibly come in 2033?
Way over due for a good house cleanin’.
Open all the doors and windows, pile all the furniture and such in the yard and set it afire, sweep the place out then get in there with scrub brooms and buckets of clorox suds.

HI DT:
Here in MT the R party won every seat in the legislture for this years three month session. We will not have another session until 2027. HOWEVER, this year 9 of our Republicans joined with the democrats (actually some of the nine were probably just flat out party frauds). They took control of the ruels committee at the very beginning of the session and controlled every thing ever since. Here in MT there is no point in voting. . .
We do have a BRAND NEW (since a few years ago) group. This group was so well organized they managed to pass unrestricted sales of marijuana. Now they are trying to head off another attempt to force judges to reveal their party affiliation, because our judges have been so blatantly run by “the party”. It is easier to see here in MT what is actually going on in local communities. The Dems have no plan on losing again. THEY WILL NOT!
Anne: I don’t know that this is official but perhaps it will help:
“To put the situation in perspective, there were at least 11 million border encounters recorded under the Biden Administration’s open border bonanza. Add to this approximately 2 million getaways (border jumpers that were not intercepted by Border Patrol). The vast majority (around 85%) of all encounters were released into the US under asylum policies, meaning it is likely that 10 million or more illegal migrants were able to enter the US unfettered.”
