A mom with cool tastes!

My mother was cranking the soundtrack to South Pacific in my youth...

Nice comments! See my small comment on 'Under Pressure' by Bowie and Queen for some more amazing science!

Engineers and scientists RULE! Yeah.

Just the track for a cold Tuesday.... you'd never think it was mid-May in the UK, freezing my nuts off here!

We watched the The Harder They Come in college one day for the sake of it. A classic for sure, with the arguable birth of Ska. The soundtrack is the endurable part of the film, as the plot has largely been forgotten (at least on my part). Toots & The Maytals are part of Ska/Reggae history, and for anyone whom is interested in the roots of either genre should definitely check them out.

Just can't get into this one....

You're just not trying hard enough.

This soundtrack is AWESOME! I still play my vinyl copy which I picked up shortly after seeing the movie IN THE LATE SEVENTIES!!

So glad to hear this studio version — rough and real. :-)

Thanks for playing the great version of this song Bill!

Before EC mucked it up with his wah pedal.

Great segue Bill - from classic Clash tune Magnificent Seven to this reggae tune that the Clash covered. I kinda like the Clash version better, much in the same way I like the early Beatles covers of Chuck Berry and Motown songs better than the originals.

Only if the Reynolds number is over 2100. Otherwise, you are in laminar flow, then f=16/NRe (if we are talking fanning friction factor).

Seriously, this sort of stuff is always what this Chemical Engineer thinks about when I hear this song. It's sad.

Or, on the other hand, the profound droppage of the Pressures of Life both specifically and generally, which occurs after inhalation of massive amounts of Ganja.

Iree mon, Iree!
