The song FREE BIRD is one of the best known songs in the history of electric music. Though its former members are dead due to a plane crash’s effects, their message lives on. Who of us has not heard this song at concerts ranging from Ornette Coleman to Peter Frampton? Bryan “November Fifth” Adams who has the best birthday one can get, though being born on the dreaded middle Scorpio day, where the autumn is closer to the winter than to the summer for the first day, plays this song in concert! We western astrological Scorpios, especially we people of November Fifth, “Guy Fawkes Day” in Britain, are tough to take, which my wife can (not so, may times) happily vouch for. Roy Rogers, Bill Walton, Vivien Leigh, Tatum O’Neal, Andrea McArdle.

Look at it this way: our Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton is a hard October 26th Scorpio from the Northern United States.  Could she free the journalists from North Korea?  No.  Enter the Southern man- husband President William Jefferson Clinton, born, as both Craig Nettles of the New York Yankees *and*his son Jeff of my season tickets-team: the Somerset Patriots own Jeff Nettles, also #9, and as the WJ Clinton: born on August 20th.  I know from watching Jeff play in over 50 games that he is a man of class who is not “upset that he is not as good as daddy” – Heck no!  Here’s a man who plays 100% every night on an A-level ballclub, and get this: he is overjoyed to be playing baseball in front of 8,000 loving fans every night rather than standing on an unemployment line.  Jeff *gets it*.  Craig Nettles always *got it*.  And the southern man??  Heck, the North Korean did not seek a visit from Theodore Kennedy, a man of the north who brags that his health care reform bill “IS ALMOST THERE,” yet also slips ion the fact that the American taxpayer is picking up the 80 year-old scion’s medical bills.  I thought: Teddy, my boy, how are “we” almost there if you, the son of one of the richest family’s in the history of modern business, do not have the capacity to pay for your health care???  Is the delusion of health care for all a joke or just a twisting of logic perhaps brought on by pain killers you no doubt have no problem being brought to you – immediately, no generic foreign-made medicines for you, and yet: you cannot even afford it.  I applaud your life of service, courage and accountability – but your “view” of health-care in the United States is a description of a fantasy.  When your last name is Kennedy, hopelessly irrelevant statements like “we’re almost there” pass as analysis.  Those “with” health care are still screwed: all the money is in the drugs, not the medical treatment.  Congress is ponying the money for that! Why?  Any “generic” is essentially free under Medicare.  But Mr. Kennedy, you do not use Generic drugs, do you?  I know I do NOT.  That is teh crux, and the † of the issue: let the United States pay for  NO health care except for ANY MEDICINE PRESCRIBED BY THE DOCTOR.  Generic is a “separate but equal” drug.  Thank Jesus and God and Allah, Justice Thurgood Marshall argued successfully in 1954 that Separate But Equal is *inherently* unequal.  Until this issue is resolved, healthcare moves are a joke.

I believe it was the SOUTHERN MAN who remedied same situation in regard to rave.  was it easy?  Nope.  President Dwight David Eisennower, Ike, coiner of the phrase “military-industrial complex” and warned of “perverted science” sent out the United States ARMY in Alabama 55 years ago next month to make *things stronger and right*.

Van Halen – “JUMP” – A Meanspeed® Free School Analysis with speed measurements, contemporary tempo maps in 2 & 3 dimensions, videos.

November 3, 2009 Ian A Schneider Leave a comment

The year the song “Jump” was popular was the first year I to drive.  At the time I was addicted to the ABC® dramatic series called ALL MY CHILDREN (“AMC”). Many who were in that cast are still thriving actors.

For me the man for whom I have the most respect is Peter Bergman. At the time, the plot of AMC featured Peter as Dr. Clifford Warner, the young husband of heiress the blond and gorgeous Taylor Miller as Nina Courtland. Peter Cooney who still portrays Business magnate Palmer Courtland, the most fun character I ever disliked knowing that it was all “just” a “soap opera.”
These were the days of Greg Nelson and Jenny Gardner (Laurence Lau and Kim Delaney), Liza Colby (Marcy Walker), Liza’s best friend Amanda (Amanda Bearse), Jesse Hubbard and Angie Baxter (Darnell Williams and Debbi Morgan) and a now-grown-up Tad Martin (Michael E. Knight), who was now legally Ruth and Joe’s son, enter the scene.

Lesley Wilson who played Dr. Langley Wallingford was a customer during a year in which I was retail man in Manhattan. To coin a phrase: I have never met a kinder man. When I said “My friends and I would eat lunch in high school sitting around the television, you were such a favorite that a best friend when earned the nickname “Langley.” It definitely was not my brother who does not do translations at the United Nations, or , a bold multi-world traveler for a good photo as B.B. King said about same brother , “You mean, you took these photos for the Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Eeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhn? The Yuuuuuuniiiiited Naaaaaaaaations!” Followed by a B.B. (only in New York) pregnant pause that I could never time. Another photo. Another: “The U.N. [Indefinable pregnant pause]…the United Nations!” Heck, it was my birthday and B.B. was there to please his clientele.

Lest I digress: One day my brothers and a friend of mine decided to go see all the actors on All my Children which filmed when  in Manhattan in a building which is now replaced by a gentrified building, and described with gutsy, bold emotion by Pete Bergman in last year Soap Opera Digest®, which goes well in the bathroom along with Newsweek,® Time® , and, yup, the CBS® Soaps In Depth™.

Peter, who played squeaky clean Cliff Warner now plays the Angel on the right shoulder, Devil on the left shoulder business magnate and family patriarch of the Abbott family of television’s best drama, The Young And The Restless®. Night television is now dominated by Reality and Comedies, with American Idol®, or FOX®, Survivor® of CBS®, The Office® originally written by Ricky Gervais of the BBC® of ABC®, and last and best and for sure the most brazen 30 Rock® of NBC®. Peter talks about passing his old digs at ABC® – the days when he was the “good solid doctor” only to see that the demolished building, destroyed only the day before his visit.

I think he was only in New York for the Daytime Emmy® Awards, and he turned to his wife and said: “It’s true what they say. You can never go home again.” Was that too much information about my family reading material’s locale? My email box is quiet on the most active among you. Don’t worry, I won’t blow your cover!

Ok: My high school friend was so exuberant about seeing the cast, especially Jenny and Nina that at a stoplight at 4:30 AM, as these actors show up at 5 AM an d leave in the night

The thing I remember the most about that day was the friend in the car psyching the rest of us up at 4:30 by getting out of the car on a dead street on a long red light as JUMP was blaring from my car. “George Parks” got out of the car and did a David Lee Roth meets George Bush 43 as his cheerleading days at Yale. George made the day – Tad was cool, he was wearing a radio Walkman™ before anyone thought it “stylish,” the actor who played Erica Cane

The song just fit the times, just like Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day defined its times and the way Halloween, especially the live GORGE version, a known John Edward’s favorite according to a source close to the Kerry 2012 camp, by the DAVE MATTHEWS BAND defined Clinton’s times, the way Let’s Roll dominated Bush 43’s early years and the way that U2 played on the Lincoln Memorial after racism by law and in fact had been stamped out, from the law, singing IN THE NAME OF LOVE. Frankly when, James Manning-san and I thought Bono’s relaxation upon the monument was disrespectful. Then I reminded myself: he’s celebrating freedom.

HEART OF GOLD – Neil Young (The Johnny Cash of Canada?) – Tempo mapping the speed of renewal by the New Jersey Free School. Public information by wikipedia.

Heart of Gold by Neil Young

Single by Neil Young
from the album Harvest
B-side “Sugar Mountain”
Released 1972
Format 45 RPM Record
Recorded Quadrafonic Studios, Nashville, TN, February 8, 1971
Genre Country rock
Length 3:07
Label Reprise Records
Writer(s) Neil Young
Producer Elliot Mazer

Heart of Gold” from the 1972 album Harvest is Neil Young’s only number one hit single in his long musical career. Rolling Stone ranked it #297 on their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.[1] It features the back-up vocals of James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt.

The song is one of a series of soft, acoustic pieces which were written partly as a result of a back injury. Unable to stand for long periods of time, he could not play his electric guitar and so returned to his acoustic guitar, which he could play sitting down.[2] [3]

The song was taped during the initial sessions for Harvest in early 1971 at Quadrafonic Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Ronstadt and Taylor were in Nashville at the time for an appearance on Johnny Cash’s television program, and the album’s producer Elliot Mazer arranged for them to sing backup for Young in the studio. [4] [5]

Originally, this song was meant to segue with the song “A Man Needs a Maid”, and was therefore played on piano. It was played in this manner during Young’s solo shows in 1971, but he abandoned this approach midway through the tour and began to play it on guitar as it is now known. Additionally, one line that was cut when the two songs became separate entities was “Afraid/A man feels afraid” [6] An example of the segued version appears on Young’s Live at Massey Hall 1971 release.

Young wrote in the liner notes of his compilation album Decade: “This song put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there.” This statement was in response to the mainstream popularity that he gained as a result of “Heart of Gold”‘s number-one status.

In 1985, Bob Dylan admitted that he hated this song, despite always liking Neil Young:[7]

The only time it bothered me that someone sounded like me was when I was living in Phoenix, Arizona, in about ’72 and the big song at the time was “Heart of Gold.” I used to hate it when it came on the radio. I always liked Neil Young, but it bothered me every time I listened to “Heart of Gold.” I think it was up at number one for a long time, and I’d say, “Shit, that’s me. If it sounds like me, it should as well be me.”

The song has been covered by Tanya Donelly, Matchbox Twenty, Tori Amos, Free Dominguez, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Richard Lloyd, Bettye Lavette, Birds and Batteries, Zakk Wylde (with Black Label Society), Boney M, Carla Cook, Lawrence Gowan, Stereophonics, Rockapella, Roxette, Backburner, Hanah, Ossifar, the James Last Orchestra, Five for Five, Sally Dworsky, Channeling Owen, Stoney LaRue, The Bad Plus, Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffett (with the Coral Reefer Band), and as a Karaoke backing track. It is also heard briefly in the film Iceman.

In 2005, “Heart of Gold” was named the third greatest Canadian song of all time on the CBC Radio One series 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version. It ranked behind only Barenaked Ladies’ “If I Had $1000000″ and Ian and Sylvia’s “Four Strong Winds”.

MISSISSIPPI MASS CHOIR – “Amazing Grace”- favored by @OGochoCinco Chad Ochocinco – Average BPM=100 1/5 BPM, the Universal Speed of Sexual Climax

August 29, 2010 Ian A Schneider 1 comment

On twitter the fine wide receiver, Star of the television program “The Ultimate Catch”. @OGochoCinco a/k/a Chad Ochocinco _ This waltz time of 100 1/5 beats per minute indicates the speed of the natural truth.

Is it because Chad is associated with his 38 million dollar hands that I call 100.1 BPM “the Universal Speed of Sexual Climax”?  No, my mom would kill me if I joked about this – anyone who knows me knows this as true.  Rather, where until 2004 it was considered by the medical community and the science community in general axiomatic that the ONLY rhythm of ANY part of the body of a man or a woman during sex that is predictable was the speed of climax, insofar as spasms of the genitals and pelvic area in general was the same.  People used to think this because of the work of Masters & Johnson.  Turns out: this is EXACTLY CORRECT.  However, during such time as Masters & Johnson measured the speeds, instruments for finding same were, as Dr. Masters *personally told me*, were  too crude to know if the accepted 1/2 century 800 milliseconds or 75 beats, or orgasmic spasms, per minute, specifically 6 to 7 and then a few more, slowing down then to a stop.  The German scientists after the century went to more precise work on this and validated every element of Masters’ work.  However, with the body measurement technology, it was determined  through experiments that the orgasmic contractions were in fact a universal 100 beats per minute.

I am NOT suggesting that Amazing Grace is being sung intentionally, at least in this song (!) as expressing sexuality.  Every piece of music has thousands if not millions of elements.  In this song, such as, the syncopated waltz time, the African-American choir tones, the melody, the harmony are all FAR more important than the tempo.  Tempo is to a song as the weather report is to the news.  So: you stop and think, sometimes a waltz piece can be as The Skater’s Waltz or Happy Birthday or an especially quick version of the Merry Widow’s Waltz.  As far as weather?  I am about to go see the Somerset Patriots play against the Southern Maryland Bluecrabs: last night, the temperature was 72 degrees, a non factor.  TODAY?  Over 90 degrees!  So as you can see, or feel: sometime the tempo is all you want to know from the news.

I picked the song and the YouTube clip as a direct recommendation of Chad.  Requests are starting to come in to meanspeed® music nonprofit music education, as more people realize that in this wildly changing economy that school programs for music for students is considered “nonessential” – so Juliette Lewis‘ favored Life In The Fast Lane comes next – and *you*????  Please keep the requests coming.

The Speed of Velvet Solitude: Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Contemporary tempo infographic, LANDSLIDE – ~79 4/5ths BPM w YouTube *great* performance

    

Fleetwood Mac recorded and released  “Landslide” in the 1970s.  Its tempo is ~79 4/5ths BPM, a speed that on a Confidence level, compared to other tempo ranges, 79-84 BPM are not necessarily desperate, lonely or as in Eminem’s STAN, with major help from Dido,  ~80 BPM, desperately lonely.

Landslide - Precision in measurement radar tempo chart

There are other expression of this loneliness: Foreigner, I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS – that is misery, trust me.  And the WE WILL ROCK YOU chant?  That is ~82.  Sets an atmosphere of fear – well, it did in 1986, and now it’s *played out* you stadium music programmers!)

Bruce Hornsby and Pat Metheny take the high road out of loneliness in THE TIDE IS HIGH, ~ 80 BPM.  This song is honored by Manningsan and me as ‘the exception that proves the rule,’ is same song’s optimism, especially in Pat’s solo on the key change.

And another way, as here, to deal with being lonely – face it and realize that your Stevie Nicks at 20-something and life is, well, pretty good.   However, heartache is heartache, even if you are Stevie at 22.

Yesterday I saw my screen saver had produced the tempo map show in this page.  I thought: this is a song good enough to have an album made around the one song: have Eminem create his version, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, John Mayer, Dave Matthews.  As as EP, I’d but that without sampling it at all.

Have a great night,

Barry Manilow Tempo Secret REVEALED! Joe Deluva’s Shocking Explanation with bpm charts, tempo scans and video of Sir Barry Manilow’s DAYBREAK, the tempo *broken down* in beautiful bathroom-worthy freely downloadable bathroom art* as THE opening song has kept BARRY RELEVANT FOR DECADES. VIDEO ON GMA with Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos (Γιωργος Στεφανοπουλος) featured!!!

Some come, some go. Then there is the man the Rolling Stone Magazine called the “Showman of Our Generation”: MR BARRY MANILOW.

Quite candidly, I was surprised that Joe Deluva talks about Barry’s *continued* success, despite being the man others like to bully because he *understands* the REAL TRUE BLUE Barry, a/k/a Alan Pincus, is too kind and above the fray to get involved in the surroundings jealousy.

I recently talked to Joe about this
James Manning-san: So Joe, you have been to 11 Barry Manilow concerts? Seriously!?
Joe Deluva: Oh yeah. The man knows his music, plays in perfect tune and tone, is at home in any harmonic sequence, but lemme tell ya something Manning-SAN, if that’s what you are going by these days!
James Manning-San [interrupting]: “Going by’? Joe, that’s my name: use it and don’t wear it out!  Just joshing my brother.

Joe Deluva: Okay, Manning-san, it’s as simple as it is effective. Here it is: Barry opens up literally *every* show with the song I’m sure you know it, Manning, called DAYBREAK. The song, the tempo are pop music genius. The average expected tempo is a perfect 119.5 bpm. Talk about the speed of GETTING OVER IT (!) and coming away with a sweet *victory*! Take a look at a  short list of songs at that speed which emote, to me anyway: I MADE IT, WE WON, AN OBSTACLE HAS BEEN OVERCOME! ‘We Are Family,’ BY SISTER SLEDGE, ‘Are You Going With Me,” by the PAT METHENY GROUP, ‘Borderline,’ by the queen of Let It All Hang Out Pop, Madonna Ciccone, or MADONNA for short.

James Manning-san: Ok – So what happens?  When The Showman of Our Generation, as Jan Wenner of the Rolling Stone has stated, open a concert with Daybreak?
Joe Deluva: Perect question, Jimmy-Boy! Let me just put it this way: by the time the first chorus is over, and the entire audience is singing, ‘and it’s DAYBREAK, and of you’ll only believe,’ now here’s the key, Manning-san: quarter note rest on a four and a huge Togetherness on the ONE: “AND LET IT SHINE – SHINE – SHINE! ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!” Let meeee [sic] tell you: the audience has been sucked, literally and figuratively, into the World of Manilow. You think I joke, young man?

Go to one of Barry’s concerts, his regular Vegas appearances: Let me know if that song ever fails to be the Barry-Candy that makes the man, his songs, his hair – and yes – that voice and GROOVE ever fails to simply, yeah man, really ‘whew’ an audience.  I know you know what I mean. It’s all these songs that transport people back in time for a moment, Sure James, everyone seems to brag “I HATE Barry Manilow.” I have heard the normally humble PHIL COLLINS say exactly that. What I say is: listen to the 119 1/2 BPM groove grab your heart, your spirit, the depth of your soul. I dare You!
James: As suggested, so tried! That’s very bold of you, Joe, to expose that which people have ignored because they are “too cool” – Deluva, man: that’s why you are welcome everywhere you go! You just love the rhythm, the beat, the tone, the melody, REGARDLESS of the Q-rating of the artist. Got a light dude? This DOES rock! You stay, THE DELUVA! Come back again soon!!! Thanks.
