Title: J Geils Band
Post by: Jabba on August 24, 2005, 11:21:47 am
Wow, I love the J Geils Band because they had a lot of good music in my teenage years during the 80's (re: Freeze frame, My Angel is a Centerfold) and now I love them even more.

I found some of their older "live" music and its just GREAT. Very Bluesy and Kudos to whoever is playing the hamonica...

This albumn rocks!

A kid in my 2nd grade class got suspended from school for wearing J Geils shirt to school that said Piss On The Wall.

What I wonder, thinking back, is why they made a youth S sized shirt that said that.

and strangely the array of cards on that graphic does not equal a 'full house'

Resolution is too low here for me to see... isn't it three jacks and two kings?

Yeah, it's definitely not the king of hearts, that's the one that stabs himself.

5 cards, 6 Band Members, no females, don't think that is it. Maybe they're just messin with us...

Don't you just love the look of these guys...

Perhaps that's just an optimistic potential full house. Too long for an album name though. :(

My Angel is a Centerfold... sorry, kind of anal about song titles.

Yeah, so, um, the J. Geils Band, huh?  I used to refer to the Spin Doctors as the the J. Geils Band with severe head trauma.

A brief, don't know how accurate, biography here:

 http://www.mp3.com/j.-geils/artists/62632/biography.html

That amazing blues harmonica was "Magic Dick" Salwitz.  According to this biography they worked together in many incarnations from 1965 on.

I saw them live a couple of times in the late 70's/early 80's definitely one of the best party bands ever!

Rock On!  ARCADIAC!
