The Nuge was -- and is -- famously straight laced when it comes to drugs and alcohol.

"Woodstock" is a song written by Canadian-American singer-songwriter #JoniMitchell. At least four versions of the song were released in 1970. Mitchell's own version was first performed live in 1969 and appeared in April 1970 on her album #LadiesOfTheCanyon and as the B-side to her single "Big Yellow Taxi". A version by #CrosbyStillsNashAndYoung appeared on their album #DéjàVu in March 1970 and became a staple of #classicRock radio.

Had an urge to listen to some Journey today. And yes, if you listen, you have to listen to both songs. It's like INXS with Need You Tonight/Mediate. It's just the rules. 😆

A Farewell To Kings

#rush #afarewelltokings #progressiverock #70srock #classicrock #rock #rockmusic #Music #musicsky #Musiciansky #geddylee #neilpeart #alexlifeson On September 1, 1977, Rush releases their 5th album. This is the one that followed the iconic 2112 that includes the also iconic "Xanadu" -- an 11-minute prog-rock masterpiece featuring that double-neck guitar/bass for Alex and Geddy. And, the title track -- a statement on greed and political decay.

Their unique country-rock sound, featuring a memorable banjo riff, propelled their song 'Sweet City Woman' to the top of the charts in Canada and made it a major international hit. The song won them a Juno Award for Best Single in 1972 and remains a classic rock radio staple. #Canada #TheStampeders #ClassicRock #70sMusic 🇨🇦
