Today was the day that my request was played on VH1 Classic, and at the beginning, they said my name!!!!! I was in SUCH a state of shock! I couldn't believe it! I requested Roger Daltrey's "After The Fire", and I tape the whole hour. I'm still shocked!!!!!!!! I've never had my name read on national television before until today!!!!
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
And then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tyre
And then the sound of a distant gun and the cry of a hungry child
The night is hot
But nothing's gonna stop
This gang going wild
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white there ain't no colour in memories
He rode his brother's Harley across the TV while I was laughing at Dom deLuise.
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes, I'm crying and I'm joking
I've gotta stop drinking
I've gotta stop thinking
I've gotta stop smoking
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
The fire still burns, raging through the pain
Blackening the promises the tears and the rain
The fire will burn
'Til the wind begins to turn
And it all begins again
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
The fire still burns....
The fire still burns....
After the fire the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire the fire still burns
Love this song so much!!!!! |

That's pretty cool. I get to watch VH1 Classic sometimes, when my wife isn't home. I have never heard of that song, it looks pretty cool. I didn't know that Roger Daltry did much after the Who broke up. I wonder if he still sings "My Generation" when he performs. There is just a great irony in that he is like 60, and one of the lines is "I hope I die before I get old."

That's cool, don't believe I've ever been on TV, period. Not that I'm really dying to be.
I knew the name Roger Daltry sounded familiar, couldn't quite remember where from. I'm no super-fan, but I do like some songs I've heard by The Who like "Magic Bus" and "Behind Blue Eyes". I like VH1 Classic too, listening to the chubby guy talk about the history of '80s Hair Metal and whatnot.

Hey I`ve been on tv before. It was my highschool senior trip to Boston and there was this Gargoyal outside this plaza but his costume wasn`t crapy or anything it actually looked like stone! Anyways I was one of the students interviewed and I was asked what I thought about it and I said it was cool...heres a pic-

Pretty cool. All I've ever been on was local television, but that was still exciting.
