Music and books, We had this Dutch Band, The Golden Earring(s), first they used the plural.. but later on, they called themself; Golden Earring. i really do love their music, lyrics, the drummer, especially. Now, one of their guitar players is sick, with this muscle sickness, A.L.S So, since they are together for like 40 years or something... I dont know for how long, they did not want to find a new guitar man, because they are like a 50 year old happily married couple... They had one hit in the US, RADAR LOVE, But they made soo much more great music... We had an other great guy, although he did like to put that white power in his nose a bit too much.... Herman Brood, he sang also English songs, i really do like his voice, must be like that, because of the drugs... He jumped from a famous Hotel in Amsterdam, some years ago... Check them out, if you like, maybe you like that music, too? Books, While at my sisters place, i found a great book in her bookshell... Tina Turner, Happiness becomes you, I found it a very interesting book, want one, for myself. But they only sell them as hardcover. I dont want a hardcover.... I like paperbacks. She learned about Buddism, and CHANTING. well, actually, the other way around, first the CHANTING, while she was in the middlle of that very violant marriage with Ike.. and later her way into buddims.. It is a great way, to become one, in oneselfs.... That is the only way, i can describe it. An other book, i found at my work place. They throw a lot of books out, when they dont sell. This book, IKIGAI. by Fransesc Miralles | Héctor García Is about almost the same item as Tina Turners book. To me those two books are in each others line of thinking.. It is also about finding, building a long and happy life.... By keeping active, have hobbies, be part of your own little social group, do daily exercise. expand if you can, never retire, help other people. Eat moderate, not after 18 hours, eat fish, tofu, and so on and on... Still reading it, It has many layers, i love that! about books. All kind of books. And in people, too

"Radar Love" was a great driving song. I remember Herman Brood and His Wild Romance, too....didn't know they were Dutch!

I first heard "Radar Love" in 1975. And I have an old vinyl with their greatest hits. Focus is also from Nederland.

gowron, Oh, yeah! Focus! I ve been to one of their concerts, long time ago!!

I remember Radar Love coming out in the UK. I had some friends in a band, some gigs they would play their own music. Others they would do covers of other peoples songs. They used to do Radar Love at that time. Gowron mentioned Focus, I'd forgoten about them. I have one of their albums, I must dig it out again. Enjoy your books.
