I'd really like to do an edit of the It's Only Rock n Roll album - cut straight to the vocal, lop off one verse and chorus from each track, no codas. I could totally see myself voting for Dance Little Sister or something.

if they did a fade at the end of the last chorus instead of that interminable outro it would probably be my favorite song ever.

I've been mulling this comment over in my head for a while, but being married to an actual Hoosier from Indiana, I decided to ask my wife if there was such a thing as a hoosier not from Indiana. She says no, hoosier specifically means someone from Indiana. Did you maybe mean "hesher"?
― odd proggy geezer (Moodles), Tuesday, July 29, 2014 3:14 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
No, I meant hoosier. I know, it is weird.
While "hoosier" may still be heard in areas of the south in its original, disparaging meaning of "uncouth rustic," the term seems to be slowly loosing currency. One important pocket of linguistic resistance, however, remains. Thomas E. Murray carefully analyzed the use of "hoosier" in St. Louis, Missouri, where it is the favorite epithet of abuse. "When asked what a Hoosier is," Murray writes, "St. Louisans readily list a number of defining characteristics, among which are 'lazy,' 'slow-moving,' 'derelict,' and 'irresponsible.'" He continues, "Few epithets in St. Louis carry the pejorative connotations or the potential for eliciting negative responses that hoosier does." He conducted tests and interviews across lines of age and race and tabulated the results. He found the term ecumenically applied. He also noted the word was often used with a modifier, almost redundantly, as in "some damn Hoosier." In a separate section Murray speaks of the history of the word and cites Baker and Carmony (1975) and speculates on why Hoosier (in Indiana a "neutral or, more often, positive" term) should remain "alive and well in St. Louis, occupying as it does the honored position of being the city's number one term of derogation." A radio broadcast took up where Murray left off. During the program, "Fresh Air," Jeffrey Lunberg, a language commentator, answered questions about regional nicknames. He cited Elaine Viets, a Post-Dispatch columnist (also quoted by Paul Dickson), as saying that in St. Louis a "Hoosier is a low-life redneck, somebody you can recognize because they have a car on concrete blocks in their front yard and are likely to have just shot their wife who may also be their sister." http://www.indiana.edu/~librcsd/internet/extra/hoosier.html

Now, how did I learn the term from a bunch of dudes from Kansas City metro? Good question, I don't know. Ask the Canadian band who sang about Tom Sawyer.

I'm the worst kind of Rolling Stones fan... I kind of only like the "groovy" RS singles. I'd much rather listen to "Brown Sugar" instead of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". There isn't a single song on "Exile on Main St." that I remember.

No you are a perfect classic rock fan- think back to the last time any CR DJ actually said the name of the song-- they'd just say "blah blah blah before that you heard THE DOOBIES and now let's get caller 7 on the line for the pair of tickets to see THE DOOBIES at Cache Creek Casino this Thursday..."
