An interesting bit of Prog Rock trivia is this: In a 1995 interview, Randy Bachman indicated that he thought that using the word "fragile" as a title for a rock album, as Yes had done with their 1971 album Fragile, was "strange." He thought that BTO music could be "dropped and kicked" without breaking, so, without intending any commentary about Yes, the band "tongue-in-cheek" called their next album Not Fragile.

Wow, you are really taking care of business with that explanation!An interesting bit of Prog Rock trivia is this: In a 1995 interview, Randy Bachman indicated that he thought that using the word "fragile" as a title for a rock album, as Yes had done with their 1971 album Fragile, was "strange."

First 8 track I ever bought was Not Fragile . Purchase was made at a Listening Booth Store.An interesting bit of Prog Rock trivia is this: In a 1995 interview, Randy Bachman indicated that he thought that using the word "fragile" as a title for a rock album, as Yes had done with their 1971 album Fragile, was "strange."

I never owned an 8 track but was pretty darn good at rewinding to the right spot an cassette tapes.
only the Father in the movie Christmas Story knows how to pronounce fragile!
8 tracks were my fav in Nam I had an 8 track player I would put the speakers on both sides of my head and go to sleep while blasting my rock music!
back in the day I had 15 of these albums,then I got old!!LOL
Guess the drawing of the planet on the cover of "Fragile" went right over Randy's head.An interesting bit of Prog Rock trivia is this: In a 1995 interview, Randy Bachman indicated that he thought that using the word "fragile" as a title for a rock album, as Yes had done with their 1971 album Fragile, was "strange."

Did you ever have to repeatedly jam and readjust a matchbook under the cassette to get the heads to line up?
Good times.
Thanks for the really great memory jog of having to listen to my Dad's country tapes as we sat 6 abreast/stacked two deep on the bench seat of my Dad's Ford pickup. 4x4 Ford high boy + 8-track in glove box made for an unreliable combo.
That has to be one of the most brilliant war sequences ever filmed. I’ve probably watched it several dozen times. And take a look at some of the actors in the scenes:
Martin Sheen
Larry Fishburn
R Lee Ermey
Robert Duvall
Robert Duvall is awesome. Two of the most iconic lines from films came from him in that scene. “Charlie don’t surf!” and “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
I just watched both Jack Reacher movies in the last week with Cruise. Not sure how I missed them. Lol
Both were excellent!
I have read all but 6 of his books. I have those 6 but am systematically going between Child, Baldacci, Grisham, Michael Connelly and Brad Thor.
You are a literary man above my level @Shifty15
I just can't focus on reading that much anymore.
Any good movie suggestions this old man might have missed?
Prime Video has 2 Reacher series with a Reacher that looks like Reacher not little Cruise!
Thanks guys. Good movies seem to be hard to find anymore.
Was excited about the new Joker. Took my son.
What a fail!
Horrible. Imo
Add Robert Crais and Vince Flynn to those I mentioned earlier. Enjoy some of Nelson DeMille novels as well.
