There seems to be a push on to declare Gomer Pyle to be God. Now we know that God is good. Therefore does that mean that Gomer Pyle was good?
My conclusion is that if you think Gomer Pyle was good, then you must think Gomer Pyle is God.

The pure energy released in this Sam and Dave clip is something to behold. In the clip below, they are boogying with Booker T & the MGs.
Sam and Dave were most successful during their Stax Records years (Memphis) in the mid-sixties and you can see by this video why they were nicnamed the “Sultans of Sweat”. They just don’t know when to stop. Sadly, Dave started plaing somewhere up high back in 1988.

Paint It Black
October 11, 2009
Really, this has to be one of the best songs ever….sort of. I mean, I know we’ve heard it 4.273 billion times before but there’s something about that era…..and the band that just refuses to die.
I guess a lot of people thought the name was Painted Black but no, it is a command. Not in the past tense like the song.

I love it. I just bloody well love it!! Note the name of the band City and ColoUr – they use the British spelling cuz they’re Canadian. We are such good little loyalasts huh. (yeachhhhh)
The lead is Dallas Green – a city and a color. Interesting.

My older brother had Del Shannon’s “Runaway (1961)” 45 after it went gold. To celebrate it issued with a gold label. Very cool.
