Another Blast From The Past

This week's musical theme somehow deals with the month of May, either by the name being in the title or dealing with an event.

Mustang is not an easy individual to please, either in musical selections, in recreational activities, or general discussions. He hates most good rock music as well as all bad rock music. He says they are a bunch of Communist heathens. He hates sports of all kind, he's jealous of the salaries. So discussing that with him is not possible either.

If you want to see his eyes light up you can always discuss bombs and other kinds of military ordinance. He will also show a great affinity for risque art forms. So if there is one song on this post he will enjoy, it'll be this number from Camelot called The Lusty Month Of May:



Here is a song about some buddies who got in way over their head for some fast cash, sometime during the last days of May:



Here in Indianapolis, the month of May is devoted to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In fact, the field is set and final preparations are being made for the annual running of "Greatest Spectacle in Racing".

Racing, by nature, is an inherently dangerous competition. Throughout history, the Speedway has been unforgiving to some that have dared to drive its circuit in an "airplane with wheels", otherwise known as an Indy Car. In just the years I have been alive, there have been many safety features added to the cars and the walls that surround the IMS. Still, it's never a given that you will walk away from a wreck here.

Here is a video that shows some of the more famous crashes. Some of them killed some one-time famous names, but not all. So skip this one if you are at all not inclined to see this kind of thing:



Next week, many schools systems will be letting out for the summer and the little darlings will be out an about all day, every day. This final tune was always on the radio right at the time we let out on that last day:



Enjoy.
