Remembering Shel Talmy!
“‘Cause he gets up in the morning
And he goes to work at nine
And he comes back home at five-thirty
Gets the same train every time
‘Cause his world is built ’round punctuality
It never fails”

"You Really Got Me" is a song by the English rock band #theKinks, written by frontman #RayDavies and released as their third single in 1964. The song was the Kinks' breakthrough hit, establishing them as one of the top #BritishInvasion acts in the United States. The song's novel use of #powerChords and #distortion heavily influenced later rock musicians, particularly in the #heavyMetal and #punkRock genres.

Well Respected Man
Remembering Shel Talmy!
“And he's oh, so good
And he's oh, so fine
And he's oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
He's a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively”
Enjoy!

"Sunny Afternoon" is a song by #theKinks, written by #RayDavies and released as a single in June 1966. The track was included on the #FaceToFace album released in late October, and served as the title track for a 1967 compilation album. Like its contemporary "#Taxman" by #theBeatles, the song references the high levels of #progressiveTax taken by the British #Labour government of #HaroldWilson.

Today is the birthday of Ray Davies of The Kinks. As he would gladly say himself if he was here, his last name is pronounced the same as Davis. It amazes me the number of rock writers who can't follow something this simple even when they hear it directly from Ray.
On this day we also have a message from Country Joe McDonald. Please see the attachment.
