This is sounding like that Exalted/StarChildren mash I read recently.

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

That's where I got the idea.

Again: I am not creating, only mixing.

[bluegargantua]

You forgot: Three Chords and Spit Master

That's what I love about the Heroquest Engine. Is it important to you? Then it's on your character sheet and it's got a number.

Even Intangibles? Especially Intagibles.

Woah.

That's really... woah!

Today's Tom Sawyer he gets high on you

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

DAMN, how could I forget to add more Rush references?

I mean it, literally, how could I forget? There's a post-it here on my desk that says "add more Rush references." And I call myself a Canadian.

In my defense, Geddy Lee's Falsetto is in there somewhere.

Re: Today's Tom Sawyer he gets high on you

[chadu.livejournal.com]

Oh, I caught that one.

I saw the Tap ref, too. More. . .

Full Lyrics for "Stonehenge":
Stonehenge, where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge
Where a man is a man and the children dance to
the pipes of pan
Stonehenge
Tis a magic place where the moon doth rise
With a dragon's face
Stonehenge
Where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky
And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there
I will show you how


My Pink Torpedo (Big Bottom)
It Feels So Real You Can Feel the Feeling (Majesty of Rock)
Listen to What the Flower People Say ([Listen to] the Flower People)

and, the immortal

Sex Farm (Sex Farm)

Your Obscure Research Technique knows no boundaries!

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

And my Infinite Time Wasting Stance is beyond compare!

How 'bout the power of flight? That do anythin for ya?

[head58.livejournal.com]

I must of course add the legendary Frampton's Talking Guitar Technique

That's levitation, Holmes.

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

"Whoa... his guitar is talking!"

"Whoa... now my shoes are talking!"

[head58.livejournal.com]

Ah, the Subject line set up and the spike. Thank you.

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

Actually, it could just be called "Frampton Comes Alive."

[my-tallest.livejournal.com]

OK, people, just let Frampton go. I'm not saying he's Michael J. Fox, And He Has No Elvis In Him. But Peter is no Bootsie or Bowie.

We all have our sad things we loved from the seventies. I am still hampered by my own sad love of ELO. But I try to work past it. OK, except when Xanadu comes on...

Oh crap. I just realized what I want to play in this game. I want to play a Muse.

Mother can't stand up to the neon-lit powers of myth! Nor to bizarrely dressed white girls who can rollerskate through walls!

[editswlonghair.livejournal.com]

Don't be ashamed of your love for ELO. You aren't alone.

It's strange, I like ELO, but loathe Supertramp. Go figure.

[head58.livejournal.com]

But he's The One and Only Billy Shears!

(I'm still googling for a shot of him in that movie. That's mid-70s Jack Voltaire, boyeee!)

Sgt. Pepper

[my-tallest.livejournal.com]

Augh. Augh. My poor, poor neurons.

You play a mean game of reference poker.

Oh, God, I'm remembering numbers and dance sequences. The costumes of the Brothers G. The balloon. It's all coming back in a flash. Augh.

OK, the trash disco side of my brain is fully awake again. I hope you're happy.

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

Speaking of reference poker: was "I'm not saying he's Michael J. Fox and has No Elvis In Him" not a sly Mojo Nixon "Elvis is Everywhere" ref? Not in genre for all this 70s glam talk, but still a reference from waaaay back in the day.

[mgrasso.livejournal.com]

Hmm, a bloated, spangled-jumpsuit-wearing Elvis-impersonator Starchild...

[my-tallest.livejournal.com]

The phrase Mojo Nixon's Elvis is Everywhere contains the words "Nixon's Elvis"... a reference to the picture in your journal.

That's right, the MIND-taker. Because I TAKE MINDS.

[bryant]

On September 3rd, 1987, I saw Bowie in concert, over in Sullivan Stadium. And it sucked, really. But that's not the point. The point is, who was the guitarist? And the answer is Carlos Alomar. So maybe the point is, who was the other guitarist? And the answer is Peter Frampton. So how about THAT?

[my-tallest.livejournal.com]

You've seen Frampton play? You're so cool. ;)

Clearly I should have been more specific. Peter is no Bootsie or Ziggy.

In 1987, Bowie was really only still 25% Ziggy. Mother clearly got to him. Or Imam. Take your pick of conspiracy. (Personally, I'll take the secret model agent conspiracy. The better you look, the more you see.)

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

In 1987, Bowie was really only still 25% Ziggy. Mother clearly got to him. Or Imam.

"The paradox is that the metal bands of the 1980s ended up taking their cues from all the guys who had been able to make a living by ripping off Bowie. ... By the time the hairspray bands were developing in 1983, Bowie was dressing like a waiter from the Olive Garden."
-- from the indispensable Fargo Rock City by Chuck Klosterman

One more for the road

[amberley.livejournal.com]

I'd add one more, actually spotted in a band recruitment ad:

Merciless Rhythm Buddha

Blue, blue windows behind the stars

[equine-cocoon.livejournal.com]

If you throw in Rush, why not Neil Young?
Is Neil glam, probably not.

However, the guy did have his roadies
dress up as Jawas
for the Rust Never Sleeps tour.
