OT: Old commercial

[Gary]

I've always loved this one.
About bonding between horse and man. (Giving up a beloved pet)
Gets me teary-eyed every time I watch it.

sniff sniff
love the music too.

[Bryan Simmons]

You drink that vomit-worthy beer, right?

--Bryan

[Gary]

Natural Ice

Much better than the even cheaper lite beer you claim not to drink now.
You just named it recently - Milwaukee's Best Lite?

[Bruce]

But if it was a cow, you'd slaughter it and eat it.

[Bruce]

It sounds like the singer's being choked to death while she (?) is
singing.

[Bruce]

What's that trailer trashy concoction you drink again? White wine with
soda pop?

[Bruce]

Who on earth drinks light beer? Drink beer or water, not both at the
same time.

No argument here.

[Dave Smith]

LOL. That was a strange remark coming from the guy who puts ice in his beer.

[Bruce]

Who does that? Bryan probably.

[dsi1]

Da people on this rock drink Bud Lite - they like to drink water and beer together. The second favorite beer on the rock come in a green bottle. I don't know why - they just do.

Sir! You have mistaken me for another. Nothing that I've ever said here
would indicate that I put ice in my beer.

[Graham]

How about tomato juice?

[Hank Rogers]

Rolling rock beer, from latrobe PA?

[dsi1]

That gal is kind of croaky-singing writer of hit songs. She seems to write a lot of tunes about drug addiction and coke.

[Dave Smith]

I was referring to the fellow you were replying to.

[Bruce]

Now I'm confused. Who was that smurfy voice in the ad?

[Bruce]

I also never said I put ice in my beer. If you'd get your head out of
your own ass, your eyesight would improve drastically.

[Dave Smith]

Stevie Nicks has an amazing voice. She has a raspy alto vibrato voice.

And she's white, Dave Smith.

[dsi1]

Beats me - I heard no smurfy voice. Better check your speakers. "Landslide" is one of Stevie Nicks most enduring/popular composition.

I like Stevie Nicks if she doesn't go country too much and before all
the face lifts and botox, but was she the voice in Gary's Budweiser
ad?

[dsi1]

That was Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks.

Oh...

[Leonard Blaisdell]

Nope! But that was a Seventies fad. First Coors, until they became
political, and now Bud, not that watered down version. I have nowhere
else to go. I ain't a boutique beer kind of guy, and I loathe Miller's.
Maybe I'll quit. Pfffffft!

Did they speak out against child labour?

Nah, they supported off-road vehicle legislation. I didn't.

[Cindy Hamilton]

I've always thought her vibrato sounded forced and the timbre somewhat
strangled. But she made her bones with it, and a voice coach would
make her sound not like what people expect from her.

I love her voice. My problem was her diction. It can be very difficult
to make out the lyrics. FWIW, I bought my first Fleetwood Mack CD just
a couple weeks ago and have been listening to it a lot. am hooked on
that voice and love the song Landslide.

[Cindy Hamilton]

I like the songs enough to tolerate her vocalizations when I hear them
on the radio.

I'm not a big fan of hers but the way her lyrics and her unique phrasing go together is pretty remarkable.

Her and Lindsey Buckingham go way back before Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey
is a musical genius IMO, and a kick ass guitar player too.

My father used to keep bottles of that in the fridge. I haven't seen
him drink RR in years. I imagine it must have been cheap when he was in
college, or something. Old habits die hard?

[Ed P]

Back then, it is what was available. Only a few national brands and a
lot of local stuff, many long gone.

Coors was never shipped east of the Rockies, Lite beer did not exist.
Most here have never heard of Ortliebs, Schmidts, Esslinger, popular
brands from Philadelphia.

You can see the trend over the decades here

Adding water to drinks is nice if you do it your own way. I do it with coca
cola. But once mixed I put them into two 20ounce coke bottles and stick
them in the freezer. They have to be cold. Which brings me to my theory -
exceptions to all rules of course - that people who like to drink things super
cold probably don't really like what they're drinking.

Anyway, I drank every day for 10 years to the point of passing out when
I hung at the poolroom in Hollywood. Later when I took to driving cab I
put more routine into my beer drinking. I still got brutal hangovers but I
had a job and couldn't go too far with it. I developed a routine where I
drank only one 12 once beer an hour. I did this by filling a large plastic
cup with ice and pouring the beer over it. Then I'd sip it out of a straw
to make it last longer. I enjoyed the taste of it. Had to keep adding ice
cubes every now and then to keep the temp from rising. I'd rather add
my own water to things than buy any companies rendition.

I'm from Pa and drank a lot of local beers. Cheap stuff, nothing special.
Funny though, all my life a big beer drinker (I preferred hard liquor but
beer took longer to hit and I wanted to last at least 8 hours, till they shut
the pool tables down) - then I went back to Pa then came down here to
NC 30 years ago and picked up loads of college kids from the bars in
the cab. They were all abuzz over Yuengling beer, made in either Pottstown
or Pottsville, both pretty close to Allentown. But I never heard of the stuff
till I came to North Carolina. It was a big thing with the college kids down
here. Maybe elsewhere too. I believe they say they are the nations oldest
brewery.

[Gary]

I tried that once. Known as "Red Beer" in Nebraska in the 1970's. It was
good but not good enough to make again.

[Gary]

Yes, that was the Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) version of "Landslide" in
the Budweiser horse commercial.

My favorite song by them was this one:

Gold Dust Woman (1977)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGO9jNHH5Lw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKRaqz1WEik

[Gary]

Still another good one. :)

[Bruce]

I'll have a listen tomorrow. And a re-listen to the ad. It sounded
like a smurf with a cold and I didn't recognise Stevie Nicks.

Old costs, yes. They were good.

I have about 600 lps -
Some from the 60s, most from the 70s and a few from the 80s.
In the 1970s, they cost about $4.00 each.

My very first 2 were "Meet the Beatles" and the "Beatles 2nd Album."

Since you're sitting around watching old Budweiser commercials on
Youtube you might consider this one in honor of those who died on 9/11.

I haven't drank MBL in years, and Natural Ice is cheaper
per alcohol content. I've had beer exactly once since
November, and that was recently when my son and I
went out to his land to get ready to start building the
cabin. That beer was:

Natural Ice (and MB Ice) is hobo beer. It's potent and
cheap. It tastes bad, but that's expected, and either
are far better choices that Budweiser, which is the
beer that I was referring to as "vomit-worthy," and is
significantly more expensive than AB's "Natural* line.

I used to live next door to the Clydesdales.
https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Royal-Arms-Condominiums_Crestwood_MO/overview
The big open area of the map is their horse field. Royal
Arms used to be apartments back then. Now they're
condos. Coincidentally, the next place I lived was also
right next to a horse field.

The trees behind the building have grown there in the
past 40 years. It was mostly open pasture, and the
horses grazed right out our back window.

The "gold dust" in the song refers to cocaine - naturally.
Oddly enough, I have met the guy that owns the guitar that Peter Green is playing. It's a very famous guitar!
