Guest CL_Reatta Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just wondering since there is a wide range of demographics on this forum, as to what some of your favorite song / songs are to listen to while in the Reatta.... I'm making some CD's and need some more tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazz Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 One song I like listening to when driving my Reatta (especially if in the country) is Ventura Highway by America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBobP Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Currently I have Polka King Jimmy Sturr's "Saturday Night Polka" CD in the CD chamber. Play it full tilt when having the top down.Will be happy to send you a copy if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steveskyhawk Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 My favorite is Warren Zevon. You drive a unique yet common car, so why not listen to music that falls into the same catagory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBobP Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 OK, since no one wants a copy of my collection of polka hits, I thought I would pass this along: I was in the Buick office in 1991 when the group Sawyer Brown walked in. They had a song called "My Baby Drives a Buick".http://artists.letssingit.com/sawyer-brown-lyrics-my-baby-drives-a-buick-fjsjsj1Buick didn't have a dime into the song, and the song went nowhere. Just a little Buick song trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike_s Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyrie"The valkyries' purpose was to determine the victors of battles and wars, and to choose the most heroic of those who had died in battle. Freyja, called Mistress of the slain (Valfreyja) and of the Valkyries in general[1], chose half of these fallen heroes for her hall Fólkvangr.[2][3] The rest went to Valhalla where they became einherjar. This was necessary because Odin needed warriors to fight at his side at the preordained battle at the end of the world"very appropiate for Apocalypse Now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 That doesn't say a damn thing about me. I didn't have to google it and I didn't have to watch a movie to know what you were talking about... I lived through it! I was lucky enough that I didn't have to go to Vietnam. When a lot of my friends got their draft notice I got a 1-H card (Not eligible for service at the is time.) to replace my 1-A card. A lot of those friends of mine didn't come back from that war. I still carry that faded and worn card with me at all times to remind me what our country went through at that time in history. I was told I received the 1-H card because I was an only son. I don't know for sure and I didn't ask. It may have saved my life. I didn't refuse to go to that war. I just wasn't invited.I lived through watching Walter Cronkite every day on the news give the body counts for both sides like it was some kind of game. I watched him tell about our army fighting to take a strategic position and our government decide to give it back the next day. I watched the daily film clips of the planes dropping the bombs, the soldiers walking through water in the rice patties, and of thousands of people protesting the war.I remember going to the funerals of my friends and siting by their crying mothers and having them tell me how glad they were I didn't have to go to that war and how they wished their son would not have been made to go. I also remember my friends that returned from that war too. I remember seeing my friend Archy for the first time when he came home with one eye missing and wearing a patch over it, with fingers missing and a scar the size of your hand on his side where shrapnel had hit him when a "Gook", as you call them, had dropped a grenade into a garbage can outside the mess tent when soldiers were coming out. But worst of all were my friends who left as young happy men and came home cold, empty adults changed forever by what they had saw and went through. Don't tell me "It is your history."! It was not just history, it was something I lived through and will never forget!!The fact that you have the arrogance to say, "What does that say about you?", has a lot to say about you!

Guest CL_Reatta Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 hmmm, Well it is actually interesting to know that... I enjoy history and knowing as much as I can about it, so Thanks!.... but I also must say this as it is something I beleive is terrible... when you mention Gook, I do believe you are refering to people (as hawkey pierce would say), in fact at times children... forced by their government to kill other people, many of them not more than 16. Please rememebr that for every victim of war, our side or not there is a family, and a human life that is destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steakneggs Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I actually flew Hueys during my brief undistinguished military era. That movie was a big deal amongst my peeps. But the truth is, helicopters are useless in a modern combat situation against heat-seeking missiles. They're not even used in Iraq and probably will be sold for scrap.
