Right, because we had to push it back a few weeks we thought we'd sling you all one more tune off the record by way of an apology / peace offering. This one is called Rich.

It's a hypothetical song about me accidentally becoming rich, and contemplating what I might do with all the power it brings. It's basically saying, c'mon let's have some sympathy for all the millionaires out there, it's tough for them too.

Obviously it ain't really saying that, but as we all know, money doesn't really bring you happiness, and even the rich have feelings to process and therapists to feed. Don't get stuck on simple ideas... Also, i should make it completely clear here that I am in no way defending the rich. They deserve all the stick they get, the rich bastards.

(Unless you're a rich bastard who wants to preorder The Overload)

Y.A. x

Almost by accident,I have become rich
Through continued reward for skilled labour in the private sector
And a genuine lack of interest in expensive things,
It appears I have become rich
And since I have become rich
I have been constantly living in fear, of losing everything,
That the bubble will burst and falling from my perch
I will return once again to the life I used to live
With the things I didn’t have before I had become rich
I put a pinch away each week in a place my hand won’t fit
So I cannot reach it, It is made of solid steel
A square foot deep with a slit, no bigger than an inch
One day, when the seams split in such a way that it can’t be restitched
I will scratch that insatiable itch. I’ll buy the whole hospital,
And everything in it.
It appears I have become rich!
You twitching like some headless bird
Whilst the witch doctors poached for the stragglers in the herd
Pitching for business down on skid row
The line goes out the door, and you’re right at the back
Man, two more poor kids dead in a ditch
I fucking love being rich!
(Can’t pin that on me)
It appears i have become so rich
I’m literally drowning in it
But no matter how much I’ve got
I’ll never lose the plot on top of the hill
Looking over the valley you can see for miles and still get shot
The farmer doesn’t want his cows getting what the other cows have got
He keeps his livestock
Stuffed in his sock, that’s why he’s rich
It appears we’ve both become rich
It appears we’re both very very very rich
It appears we've now got gout
It appears we have no shame
Lord have mercy on my soul, never
No one ever tells you, how tough it really is
Please teach me, How to be both modest and rich in equal measure
I’ve done some terrible things because I am rich,
Looking for opportunities in ventures that are bound to bring the silver rain
Sure it’s a rush being kush,
But then again, life is a bitch,
Yeah people hate you for it, people really hate you for it
You run a real risk being rich
It appears I have become rich (woop!)
It appears I have become rich (woop!)
Rolls off the tongue real nice, RICH!
Flip the switch, kill em all
Scratch the itch Kill em all, Kill em all
Own it, embrace it, Be it
RICH RICH RICH

The Black Crowes: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 5 Bekeken • 3 jaar geleden

This performance was recorded on February 20, 2020. We will continue releasing Tiny Desk videos of shows that had already been taped. In light of current events, NPR is postponing new live tapings of Tiny Desk Concerts. In the meantime, check out Tiny Desk (home) concerts! They’re recorded by the artists in their home. It’s the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

March 23, 2020 | Josh Rogosin -- The second Chris Robinson swaggered through the door, he was cracking jokes. "Life is full of disappointments," he lamented. "I thought the desk would be smaller!"

That didn't deter him or his brother Rich from belting out the hits from The Black Crowes' platinum album, Shake Your Money Maker. It's somehow been 30 years since the singles "Jealous Again" and "Hard To Handle" (their Otis Redding cover) received constant radio play, and the brothers have reunited for the 30th anniversary of that debut album.

In the early 1990s, I was taping songs off my bedroom stereo's FM tuner to learn Rich Robinson's iconic guitar lines. I was thrilled when the newly reunited Brothers Of A Feather decided to open their Tiny Desk concert with "She Talks To Angels." What I didn't expect was how great it would sound three decades on, stripped down to just voice and acoustic guitar. As soon as I heard the first lick, I was transported to my childhood bedroom. If you close your eyes, you can imagine this is what it sounded like when it was written in their childhood home outside Atlanta.

It's no secret that the brothers haven't always gotten along, and Chris and Rich Robinson have had musical successes outside their collaboration as The Black Crowes. But the combination of Chris' instantly recognizable raspy belt and Rich's catchy guitar riffs was always going to be the duo's legacy. Judging by the gasps from the lucky NPR staff in attendance, it's clear that their rift was not meant to last.

Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren {Stereo} 1973 Hotney 5 Bekeken • 3 jaar geleden

1973-74......#5 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #2 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #17 Canada
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Hello It's Me" is a song written by American musician Todd Rundgren. It was the first song he wrote, and was recorded by his group Nazz as a slow ballad, released as the B-side of the band's first single, "Open My Eyes", in 1968. A mid-tempo version of "Hello It's Me", recorded for Rundgren's 1972 solo album Something/Anything?, was issued as a single in 1973, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"Hello It's Me" was the first song written by Todd Rundgren. Written in 1967 as a slow ballad about the breakup of a relationship, it was released in October 1968 as the B-side of his band Nazz's debut single "Open My Eyes", and included on the debut album Nazz (1968). Although released as a B-side, it was picked up in preference to the A-side by Boston radio station WMEX, where it rose to No. 1, and was subsequently picked up by other stations. It entered the Billboard chart in February 1969, peaking at number 71, and re-entered the charts the following January, this time peaking at number 66. In Canada, it ranked number 41 in March 1969, and number 58 in February 1970.
Rundgren's songs in this early phase of his career were heavily influenced by the work of Laura Nyro, but in a 2005 interview he revealed that the basic structure of the song was adapted from the introduction of a Jimmy Smith recording:
...the main influence for Hello It's Me was an eight bar intro that Jimmy Smith played on a recording of When Johnny Comes Marching Home. He had this whole sort of block chord thing that he did to set up the intro of the song. I tried to capture those changes, and those changes became what are the changes underneath Hello It's Me. I then had to come up with melody and words, but the changes are actually almost lifted literally from something that was, from Jimmy Smith's standpoint, a throwaway.
— Todd Rundgren, puremusic.com
Rundgren recorded a more midtempo version of "Hello It's Me" for his 1972 solo album Something/Anything? It was released twice as a single, with the second issue in 1973 becoming Rundgren's only top ten pop hit, reaching No. 5 on the Hot 100. It also reached No. 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
