@Bing-boogerton, try this; it has worked for me in the past a few times. How to See All Thumbs‑Up Songs on Pandora Pandora keeps a master list of every thumb you’ve ever given. It’s not in your profile — it’s inside My Collection → Stations → Thumbs. Steps Go to My Collection. Switch the filter at the top to Stations. Open Thumbs (it appears as a special “station” that collects all your thumbs). Inside that, you’ll see every song you’ve ever thumbed up, even from stations you deleted. How to Remove Thumbs from Deleted Stations: Once you’re inside the Thumbs station: Open the station Scroll through the list Tap the thumb icon next to any song you want to remove It will immediately disappear from your thumbs history and from any playlists built from thumbs You don’t need the original station to exist — the thumb is stored separately. Take care, and GOD bless.    ... View more

Good Friday morning, dear friend. Welcome to GSOTD. Today I will be adding three songs to today's post and to the GSOTD Playlist. If you haven't noticed that GSOTD Playlist has been updated. Enjoy the music. 80's/ Post- Punk/ New Wave: Once in a Lifetime (2005 Remaster) by Talking Heads.  "Once in a Lifetime" is a song by the American new wave band Talking Heads, produced and co-written by Brian Eno. It was released in January 1981 through Sire Records as the first single from Talking Heads' fourth studio album, Remain in Light  (1980). Eno and Talking Heads developed "Once in a Lifetime" through extensive jams, inspired by Afrobeat musicians such as Fela Kuti. David Byrne's vocals were inspired by preachers delivering sermons, with lyrics about existential crisis and the unconscious. In the music video, directed by Byrne and Toni Basil, Byrne dances erratically over footage of religious rituals.  Pop-Rock/ Folk-Rock: Handle With Care by Traveling Wilburys. "Handle with Care" is a song by the British-American supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. It was released in October 1988 as their debut single and as the opening track of their album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 . The song was the first recording made by the group, although it was originally intended as a bonus track on a European single by George Harrison. When he and Jeff Lynne presented the song to Harrison's record company, the executives insisted it was too good for that purpose, a decision that resulted in the formation of the Wilburys. The song was written primarily by Harrison, although, as with all the tracks on Vol. 1, the writing credit lists all five members of the band: Harrison, Lynne, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. "Handle with Care" was the Wilburys' most successful single. It peaked at number 39 on the Cashbox Top 100  and 45 on the Billboard Hot 100  in the United States, number 2 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, and number 21 on the UK Singles Chart, and was a top-five hit in Australia and New Zealand. Directed by David Leland, the video for the song was an MTV  favourite in the late 1980s. Petty and his band, the Heartbreakers, often performed "Handle with Care" in concert. Lynne sang it with them at the Concert for George, a year after Harrison's death in November 2001. Harrison's son, Dhani Harrison, sang lead on the song with Jeff Lynne's ELO  during their 2019 US tour. Pop rock/ Glam rock/ Psychedelic pop: Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long Long Time) (Remastered 2017) by Elton John.  "Rocket Man", also known as "Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)", is a song written by British musician Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, and performed by John. It was originally released on 17 April 1972 in the US, as the lead single to John's album Honky Château. The song first charted in the UK on 22 April, rising to No. 2 in the UK singles chart and No. 6 in the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming a major hit single for John. It is considered to be John's signature song. On 5 April 2024, the song was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry  (BPI) for sales and streams of 1,800,000 digital downloads and streaming equivalent sales. With sales of five million in the US, the song was certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America  (RIAA). Rolling Stone lists it at No. 149 of its 500 greatest songs of all time . On 6 January 2024, Rocket Man surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. The song has been covered by many artists, most notably by Kate Bush in 1991, and by Portuguese singer David Fonseca in 2007. John himself, alongside producer Pnau and singer Dua Lipa, included the song in his 2021 mashup single "Cold Heart (Pnau remix) ". William Shatner's spoken-word version from 1978 has been widely parodied.

@AngelaMCmusic, @RagnerTheBiker, “I’ve spent 40 years working as a tree feller, and I also have experience with residential tree cutting—two areas that may sound similar but are very different in practice.” “Back in 10th grade, I wrote a poem called Last Summer for my English class. My teacher submitted it to Reader’s Digest, and it was published. I also have some carpentry skills, landscaping experience, and roofing experience. Was a volunteer fireman for a while, and I'm also an Army National Guard Veteran. That is probably more than I should have shared. Take care, and GOD bless.  ... View more

@AngelaMCmusic, here are my first and second choices.                       Likeliest Front‑Runner: Lauryn Hill Lauryn Hill checks every box the Hall tends to prioritize in recent years: Cultural impact — The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is universally regarded as one of the most important albums of the last 30 years. Critical consensus — She’s a fixture on “greatest albums” and “most influential artists” lists. Genre representation — The Hall has been steadily increasing hip‑hop and R&B inductees, and Hill is a glaring omission. Narrative momentum — First‑time nominee, long overdue, and widely respected across genres. This combination makes her the most broadly supported candidate across voters, critics, and fans. My second choice is Phil Collins.  Massive commercial success and decades of cultural presence. Already inducted with Genesis, but the Hall often rewards major solo careers separately (e.g., Peter Gabriel). Broad demographic appeal among voters.  Well, there's my two cents worth... Take care, and GOD bless.  ... View more

Good Friday morning. Today, we are going to look at the meaning of this beautiful classic piece by Linda Ronstadt Long Long Time  "Long Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt is a poignant exploration of unrequited love, heartache, and the enduring impact of a one-sided romantic relationship. The song delves into several emotional and thematic layers, making it a deeply relatable and introspective piece. The lyrics begin with the idea of enduring love and the advice to take things in stride. However, the singer laments that there's no one by their side, highlighting a sense of loneliness and longing. This opening sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer grapples with the aftermath of a love that was never reciprocated. The recurring phrase "And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time" underscores the persistence of the singer's feelings. Despite the pain and heartache, they can't help but hold onto the hope of love, even though it may never be realized. This phrase captures the essence of unrequited love, where one continues to harbor deep affection despite the odds. The song's middle verses reveal the depth of the singer's hurt and disappointment. They describe feeling caught in their fears and unable to express the pain because the object of their affection never allowed them close. The reference to the person "falling all over girls you never knew" speaks to the heartache of witnessing the one you love pursuing other romantic interests, further emphasizing the one-sided nature of the relationship. (Source comes from: Meaning of Long Long Time by Linda Ronstadt) Have a blessed. Take care, and GOD bless.    ... View more

Good Thursday morning, welcome to GSOTD. I will be adding a couple of classics, along with a more recent hit. Enjoy the music. Soul/ Jazz/ Blues: Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell.  “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” marked the first collaboration between soul artists Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in terms of releases. It was the first single from their debut album United, where it also appeared as the opening track on the record.  Although they kept their relationship as professional as could be, the two were practically inseparable, with most describing them as “brother and sister.” At Terrell’s funeral after her tragic death at the mere age of 24, her mother barred everyone at Motown from attending except Gaye (who also delivered the eulogy), as she felt he was her only friend there. Perhaps there really was no mountain, valley, or river that could ever come between them. Writers of the UK publication NME listed the song as one of the Top 150 Singles of All Time, and the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. The song would go on to be covered by dozens of artists, including Diana Ross, The Supremes, and The Temptations, as well as the songwriters Ashford & Simpson, among others. Indie Rock/ New Wave: Real Wild Child (Wild One) by Iggy Pop. The original song was written by Johnny Greenan, Johnny O’Keefe, and Dave Owens and released as a single by Johnny O’Keefe in 1958. Iggy Pop’s cover appears on the “Blah Blah Blah album and was released as a single in 1986. It reached number 1 on the New Zealand singles chart and #10 on the official UK singles chart. Perhaps you may be familiar with this song from  Adventures in Babysitting (1987) — One of the earliest and most iconic uses. Crocodile Dundee II (1988) — Fits the film’s energetic tone. Problem Child (1990) and Problem Child 2 (1991) — Used for the mischievous vibe. Harriet the Spy (1996) — Appears in the soundtrack. Madagascar (2005) — Used in the animated film’s lively sequences. Open Season 3 (2010) — Another animated appearance. Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023)   Pop/ Pop Rock/ Rock/ Blues Rock/ Roots Rock/ Story Song Pop: Indiana Wants Me by Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler, & Spin Doctors. There’s a lived‑in charm to this cover — the kind of track that feels like three bands with shared road dust deciding to tell a story together. It reaches back to 1970, when R. Dean Taylor wrote and released the original “Indiana Wants Me,” a dramatic, cinematic slice of story‑song pop about a man on the run. That DNA is still here, but the emotional color shifts in the hands of these ’90s veterans, who came together in 2025 to record their version ahead of their joint summer tour. Robin Wilson brings that familiar bittersweet ache, Chris Barron leans into the conversational storytelling, and John Popper threads harmonica lines that feel like headlights cutting through dusk on a long Midwestern highway. The bones of Taylor’s narrative stay intact, but the mood becomes warmer, more communal — less fugitive panic, more reflective road‑movie melancholy. It’s loose, human, a little ragged in the right places — the sound of musicians who know exactly who they are and don’t need to prove a thing. What you get is a rootsy reinterpretation that honors the past while letting each band’s personality breathe. Take care, and GOD bless.    ... View more

Good Wednesday afternoon, dear friend. Here is a bible verse with a twist. I hope you enjoy the twist with the bible verse. Acts 2:38. A woman comes home after a long day, unlocks her door, and immediately hears someone moving around inside. She steps in and sees a burglar going through her drawers. Terrified, she blurts out the only thing she can think of from Sunday school: “Acts 2:38!” The burglar freezes in place, hands up, eyes wide. She calls the police, they arrive, and the officers are amazed at how compliant he is. One of them asks, “Why didn’t you run when she yelled?” The burglar shakes his head and says, “Man… I thought she said she had an ax and two .38s. I wasn’t moving a muscle.” Have a blessed day. Take care, and GOD bless.  ... View more

Good Wednesday morning, dear friend. Welcome to GSOTD. Today, I will be adding three instrumental gems that I hope you will find to be gems as well. Enjoy the music. Ambient/ Contemporary Classical/ Neoclassical/ Classical/ Electronic/ Piano: The Consolations of Philosophy by Max Richter. The Consolations of Philosophy sits in that unmistakable Max Richter space — sparse piano, slow harmonic drift, and a melody that feels like it’s remembering something it can’t quite name. It’s a study in restraint: no flourish, no climax, just a quiet emotional gravity that pulls you inward. Richter has a way of writing music that feels like a private thought, and this piece is one of those moments where the simplicity is the point. Electronica/ Downtempo/ Ambient/ Electronic Rock: Living by Moby (Richard Melville Hall). Living is a snapshot of a moment when Moby was pushing against expectations. After early rave success and before the global explosion of Play, he was exploring guitar‑driven emotional landscapes. This track is one of the gentler, more atmospheric pieces from that period—almost a precursor to the reflective mood he’d later perfect. Contemporary classical / Neo‑classical: On The Nature Of Daylight (Bonus Track) by Max Richter. On the Nature of Daylight is one of Max Richter’s most beloved and emotionally resonant works — a piece that has taken on a life far beyond its original album. Richter’s language here blends classical string writing with minimalist repetition and ambient emotional pacing. It’s not “classical” in the traditional sense — it’s cinematic, slow‑burning, and built for emotional clarity rather than complexity. From the album The Blue Notebooks (2004). The Blue Notebooks — the album containing this track — was conceived as a protest against the 2003 invasion of Iraq and violence in general. While On the Nature of Daylight isn’t explicitly political, it carries the emotional weight of the album’s themes: fragility, humanity, and the quiet ache of witnessing suffering.

Good Thursday afternoon. Welcome to The Meaning Behind The Song post. Today, we are going to get a glimpse at the meaning of the song Real Wild Child (Wild One) by Iggy Pop.  Iggy Pop’s ‘Real Wild Child (Wild One)’ is more than just a raucous anthem; it’s a manifesto of feral freedom ringing with the chains of youth and non-conformity. In a world that often feels pre-packaged and restrained, Iggy Pop’s unapologetic roar in this iconic track serves as a siren call to the wildness lurking within us all. Beneath its uproarious surface, the song encapsulates a deeper rhapsody of existential rebellion, challenging listeners to shed societal constraints and revel in the raw essence of unbridled self-expression. Let’s dive into the sinewy depths of ‘Real Wild Child (Wild One)’ and explore the layers that make this track an enduring staple of defiance and liberation. In the fiery throes of ‘Real Wild Child,’ Iggy Pop captures the quintessential spirit of youthful rebellion—a spirit that transcends time and place. The song’s relentlessly pounding beat and shouted refrain serve as the heartbeat of a generation screaming to be heard, to claim their moment of pure, untamed life. This isn’t just about the rebellion of a teen fresh out of school; it’s a broader declaration of war against the suffocating normalcy that tries to quell the wild spirit within. Iggy Pop’s declaration of wildness is both a personal badge of honor and a unifying battle cry for anyone daring to live on the fringes of convention.  Iggy Pop doesn’t just sing about being ‘a real wild child’—he commands us to dance like a fool, to embody our wildness through unrestrained motion. In this way, dance becomes a metaphor for individuality and freedom, with the dance floor standing in for the vast canvas of life where we paint our wildest dreams. It’s not enough to acknowledge one’s inner wildness passively; Iggy Pop implores listeners to express it physically, to manifest their rebellion in a way that is visible, palpable, and impossible to ignore. It’s a call to action that rattles the bones and stirs the soul, beckoning the body to join the insurrection of spirit. The message in ‘Real Wild Child’ isn’t solitary. Amidst the raucous individualism, there’s a strong sense of communal kinship. ‘Gonna meet all my friends, gonna have myself a ball,’ sings Iggy, suggesting that being a wild one isn’t just about personal freedom—it’s about finding one’s tribe. The song weaves a thread of solidarity among those who share a disdain for the humdrum and a thirst for life’s exceptional moments. Iggy creates a fraternity of the wild at heart, where the ties that bind are made of shared passions and unwavering zeal for the unconventional.  ‘In a world gone crazy, everything seems hazy,’ croons Iggy Pop, encapsulating a sentiment felt by many as they navigate the chaos of modern existence. Yet, the song suggests that clarity can be found not in conforming to the haze, but in embracing one’s own wildness as a compass. The ‘wild one’ finds direction and purpose not through external constructs, but through the cultivation of an inner wildness that provides insight and guidance. It’s an existential awakening that cuts through the fog, offering not just a path forward, but a way to stride it with a roar rather than a whisper. Certain lines in ‘Real Wild Child’ resonate as more than lyrics—they are the anthemic howls of the untamed soul. ‘Gonna break loose, gonna keep movin’ wild,’ Iggy bellows, symbolizing the relentless pursuit of self-expression and the permanent resistance to stagnation.
