    Hot Blooded

    Farmer John and Maggie's Farm?

    Four Strong Windows and Blowin' in the Wind?

    I see All Along the Watchtower listed for both. But that is the same, not similar.

    Down by the River and Watching the River Flow?

    None of the above. I thought this was an easy one. Would you like another guess?

    • Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" (1975)
    • Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" (1976)
    • I cheated and asked Gemini.

    That's it. I don't know Gemini. Only as the missions before Apollo.

    Gemini is Google's AI. I normally use Copilot, which is Microsoft's AI.

    I don't think I know either of those Hurricane songs. There was Rock Me Like A Hurricane by The Scorpions. Not really on my playlist, but I've heard it.

    Looking for a song by Bread.

    Bread + Joe Walsh = [song]

    Guitar Man?

    I just realized today was the day Jim Croce died. I should have been listening to him today. So many great songs, besides just his hits.

    Correct.

    I saw the Jim Croce thing yesterday.

    This one may require research. It did not make the top 40. Not sure if it even charted in the top 100 at all. It was released as a single. The video did appear on MTV and VH1.

    Bernie Taupin + almost Orson Welles = [song]

    Maybe Approaching Armageddon?

  • snookeroo
    snookeroo Posts: 2,731 Member

    Nope. Another guess? I was a single and a video.

    I thought maybe Approaching Armageddon could be close to War of the Worlds.

    I had to ask Copilot. Citizen Jane

    I like the song Approaching Armageddon and the whole album that it comes from, "He Wo Rides the Tiger". It's less polished than its follow-up, "Tribe", with the song Citizen Jane. (By the way, Elton John sings backup on Citizen Jane.)

    Sorry, I forgot to get back to you. I had a guess right away because I only know one Nazareth song off the top of my head.

    Love Hurts

    I had to look up their discography but do recognize the song.

    Leader of the Pack

    I saw this first song was recently played on iHeart's Yacht Rock Radio station and had to use it.

    Al Stewart + Donna Summer = [similar song titles]

    (Song) On The Radio

    I met Al Stewart back in 2016. He played a small church hall here, locally. I heard about it last minute. I rode over and there were tickets available at the door. This whole time I just couldn’t believe he was playing in this small place. As I remember, the tickets were only $20 or $30. Whatever they were, they weren’t expensive with exorbitant fees. The show was basically just him, acoustically. I do recall he had someone accompanying him on saxophone. It was a fantastic performance. Very intimate in this extremely small venue. The audience just sat on those folding, metal chairs all church halls have. He told lots of stories in between songs. There were probably no more than 50 people in the audience…if that. After the show, he hung around just standing in the church hall. I just went up and chatted with him for a bit. He didn’t look like the Al Stewart on his old album covers, back in the ‘’70s. The long hair was gone. I thought he could have passed as someone’s high school chemistry teacher. But he still sounded like the Al Stewart of the '70s. I bought a CD at a table he had set up. I’ll have to check to see if I had him autograph it. I still don’t know why he was playing in this little place. I feel like someone at the church had connections.


    I never met Donna Summer.

    Correct.

    Nice story. I don't have a story quite like that. The closest thing was when I was about 10 or so we saw Charlie Rich at a place in my hometown called "The Barn". There is a whole interesting history behind the place, but not sure why Charlie Rich would have been playing at The Barn. We didn't meet him. It was a good show though.

    Here is a link with part of the story: Rush Park Era

    They used to do cart horse racing on a kite shaped track in my hometown, 100 years ago. It sounds like it was nationally known. "The Barn" was a refurbished barn that still contained an original horse trough from racing times.

    Knock On Wood by Amii Stewart + Wish Upon A Star by Steve Miller = __________ by Stevie Wonder

    My first guess is I Wish, but I'm not sure how that fits.

    No, not what I was looking for.
