From Janet Jackson  

Black Cat is a great classic rock song with the lyrics, the beat, the music, the band, and of course last, but most most important, the lead vocalist and dancer Janet Jackson who makes the video very memorable with her great delivery and sexy dancing. The great outfit as well.

One of the best classic Rock songs I've ever heard, just listen to the guitar and it comes from a rhythm  and blues singer. Which might sound strange, but if you listen to lets say the rock band Aerosmith and how Joe Perry sounds on guitar and then listen to Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Jimmi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and then listen to a Janet Jackson, or a Aretha Franklin, the Blues Brothers, the sounds are very similar. The beat is similar, but different enough that you know that it's two styles of music and not one style with two different names.

I think it would have been a stretch for Janet to play and sing to country or classical music, but rhythm and blues and classic rock and perhaps even hard rock, are very similar. Which is one reason I love both and are really the only two sounds of music that I listen to at all. I'll listen to Aerosmith just to hear Joe Perry on guitar. And Aerosmith is a great classic rock band and they're more than just Joe Perry, but Perry alone by himself I believe is all you need to hear to know that they're a great band.

Janet sounds like a great rocker chick here and I believe at least part of that has to do from going to r and b to classic rock.

The last great GNR song, with Axel on vocals and Slash perhaps the best guitarist in the business, doing his thing.

From Chrissy Ozioma 

If you like beautiful, sexy, hard classic rock music videos, that sort of have a blue rock feel to it, then I think Janet Jackson's Black Cat will be one of the best classic rock videos that you'll see. The lyrics, Janet singing the song, the dancing, her outfit, body, face, it's really the perfect music video.

A great version and you really get to see Janet Jackson's versatility in her music adding classic rock to her rhythm and blues sound. Black Cat really is a classic rock if not hard rock sound that is performed by a rhythm and blues band. But where you also get Janet's performance and dance team.

You generally don't see classic rock and hard rock bands with dancers and with vocalist dancing around on the stage and doing rehearsed dances. It's generally a lead vocalist singing on stage and moving around to some extent and moving with their bandmates, but you generally don't see them dancing around together.

Blues rock is where you mix in classic rock like say something from Aerosmith and mix that in with rhythm and blues. Like something from Janet Jackson. (To use as an example) The Dave Matthews band does that, Bruce Springsteen does this, Eric Clapton does this, Elvis Presley did that, Jim Morrison and The Doors did that combination. But with Black Cat you get a classic or hard rock song and sound played by r&b band with an r&B singer. And they did a great job with that.

The best GNR song of all time, pure and simple and it all started with Slash just ripping on guitar. Imagine that, one of the best rock songs of the entire 80s and perhaps 70s, 80s, and 90s, and it all starts because of one great guitarist just ripping on his guitar, with someone else in the band hearing that and deciding to make that part of a song. Would love to know how GNR got the lyrics of this song as well, because it's so perfectly done with the lyrics and music.

Jim Morrison & The Doors: Live at The Hollywood Bowl (1968)

Source:Integral Options- The Lizard King Jim Morrison: Live At The Hollywood Bowl (1968)

“Do they look a bit scruffy, the Doors on live Danish TV in 1968? My image of the Doors is forever colored by Oliver Stone’s The Doors. But the real Jim Morrison had even better hair than his doppelgänger Val Kilmer (“not a case of casting,” quoth Ebert, “but of possession”), even if the above performance is less Lizard King than lounge lizard. John Densmore lays back on the beat, gets out the way of Morrison’s free associative poetry. Guitarist Robbie Krieger riffs intently, looks subdued. Always the one to watch, the recently departed Ray Manzarek plays hypnotic baselines with his left hand while his right dances around melodic blue note phrases. It’s a very cool show, but the lack of an audience is palpable.”

From The Doors

I believe Live At The Hollywood Bowl, is the only full concert of The Doors, that's not just live, but live and in color, as if CBS, or some other broadcast network taped it and showed the concert. It's the only concert that's available to watch, that's in color, with Jim Morrison in his brown leather jeans and vest. It's his most famous concert, but the only one in color and with The Lizard King in his brown leather jeans, instead of his black leather jeans, where most his concert footage, he's in the black leathers. And it's also probably his sexiest concert, because you see him go all out in his leather jeans and cowboy boots, with the camera people missing nothing.

I’ve seen this concert several times and I’m no music expert, but I am a pretty big fan of The Doors especially Jim Morrison and I disagree with the critics about this concert at least to this degree. I don’t believe Morrison was as off as the critics believe he was. I think he did a great job with the vocals and how he entertained the audience in general especially the women, with how he danced and moved around and played around with his leather jeans.

If you watch the PBS film from 2010 about The Lizard King there is this line in it about how Morrison picked out his clothes. That his skin-tight leather pants, which were leather jeans and concho belt were about showing off and showcasing his crotch. And you see him messing around with his pants all through the concert and the camera zooming in on his crotch, butt and legs in those skin-tight jeans, throughout the concert.

Not the best Doors concert and not Morrison at his best. But it was classic Lizard King on the vocals dancing around and showing himself off. And a great chance to see Jim Morrison and The Doors live and in color and I just wish there were more opportunities for that. Especially since they were big in the late 1960s when color TV and movies were very common if not expected by then. It would’ve been nice had they filmed more of their concerts in color.

Geo Beats: 'Style Guide- Denim Faux Pas'

Source:Geo Beats- skin-tight denim jeans, for women with curve appeal, like these two women.

“How to Pick Denim – Women’s Fashion Guide as part of the Women’s Style series by GeoBeats.”

When shopping for denim, the number one place you want to look is the back. Most people look at the front, we look at the side, make sure nothing is hanging out, but we are not spending a lot of time back here. This is where you need to look.

So make sure you have got a three-way mirror and you have got a good view of what is going on back here. This is a classic five pocket jean, which means you have got the two pockets on the front plus a coin pocket on the right side and then your two pockets back here. You want to make sure the pocket size is no, just a little bit smaller or maybe a little bit bigger, about the size of your hand, not grossly out of proportion from this.

Because, the pocket size, if it is a tiny little pocket and you have got some junk in the trunk, your butt is going to look that much bigger. If it is this huge pocket and you are very small back here or very flat, it is just going to make it look worse, and you have pound cake butt. So what we want to make sure we are doing with the pocket placement, if they are too high, any volume sitting down here is going to feel like you have got that saggy mom butt. If they are too far down here, it is going to look like your butt is coming out the middle of your back. Same thing with the sides. The more these pockets move out this direction, the larger this proportion becomes, and that is going to give you more volume. That can be good and that can be bad. Contrastly, pockets that are too far in, we start to get a larger a volume of space over here, and we do not want to look too hippy.

So, on Adrianne here, we have got good pocket placement. We want it to be just about right here where it is cupping the bottom of your butt, where really starting to give some definition. And you want to make sure we have a little bit of this inverted heart shape right here. Not so tight that it looks like your butt is eating your pants, but we want to still see some shape. If I can grab fabric here without even pulling, they are too big. So you want to make sure you have always got this. So as long as you can keep these things in mind, inverted heart shape, pocket size and pocket placement, you are going to be successful in your denim shopping, every time.”

 They picked the right if not perfect woman for this video. A tall, curvy, woman, who is very pretty, but the fact that she's tall and curvy for what they're talking about here is more important. 

If there's a group of women (regardless of ethnicity or race) that has the hardest time finding the right jeans for them, it would be curvy women and probably especially tall curvy women. And I'm not talking about fat or obese women, but big-bone, strong women, who wear a larger size than the average woman, obviously and because of that have a harder time finding clothes that look good on them, but also fit. And perhaps jeans whether they're denim like in this case, or leather jeans which are less common (at least in America) are the hardest pants for attractive women to find for themselves that again look good and highlight their curves. 

One of the main, if not the main reason for tight jeans, (denim or leather) is for women to showcase their legs and butts and if you're an attractive, well-built curvy woman, you're going to want good jeans. Jeans that fit and showcase your curves.

Janet Man: Janet Jackson- 'What Have You Done For Me Lately: Live'

Source:Janet Man- Janet Jackson live and in concert in 1990.

"JANET JACKSON -WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY (LIVE AND RARE) JJ LIVE IN DC DOING HER THANG IN 1990!"  

From Janet Man

"What have you done for me lately?" Another way of saying what have you done for me, period. Where have you been. It's one of those things that people say when someone who isn't very close with them suddenly appears out of nowhere and asks for help. And someone might say: "Why should I even care and help you, where were you when I needed you, what have you done for me lately?" 

Janet Jackson is a very good communicator and app at using her music to communicate a broader message. Her 1989-90 album Rhythm Nation was about race relations in America and is a perfect example of that. 

This is not one of my favorite songs, but it's a great song in the sense that the message is clear. And is about someone perhaps in Janet's life who perhaps hasn't been there for her lately and perhaps that person was once close with her and what's she saying in this song about that person is essentially where have you been. And "What Have You Done For Me Lately" I believe is her way of delivering that message.
