Well we give them the election
That keeps filling our heads full of lies
Can we trust in new directions
When their promises are in disquise
Well someday the truth will catch up
I just hope it don't catch us all by surprise

They preach this thing, religion
But we show no faith at all
Follow suit on Sunday
But on Monday forget it all
If the times should find us needing him
Then my friend, Lord have mercy on our soul

It's the same old wine
In a brand new bottle
It's the same old wine
In a brand new bottle

Teach our children virture
Then send'em off to war
Then we ask ourselves the question
What and the hell are we fighting for?
If you suddenly find a reason
Well don't be afraid to open the door
Well don't be afraid

It's the same old wine
From a brand new bottle
It's the same old wine
From a brand new bottle
The same old wine
From a brand new wine

thanks Bill for playing this tonight; hope for us all that the brand new bottle wins out tonight.



Same, same tonight.... (and I'm guessing, for the same reason).

certainly among the best of the 70s!  Great jamming, on all instruments...

Different year. Same stories. Same complaints.

Hold Please, 

Gotta turn on the big speakers and open up the rest of the windows.

Gave this a 7 after first listen. On second listen and looking at the lyrics, bumped it up to a solid 8. Great Classic song.

The comment would be "seems apropo" 
but I guess the term should be  "Glazed"

ya know...Jim Messina has quite a pedigree.  

Played in/founded Buffalo Spingfield and Poco.

Seems to be where Black Crowes got their influence.....
Posted 6 months ago by KPC1    [ Reply ]
wow

when was the last time you heard a piano-pedal steel-guitar jam in the middle of the song?

That's  why the 1970s were soooooo great for music.

Agreed! It rocks, almost better than a lot of "today's" music!

Ha!

I just drank half bottle of a Merlot last night and it had that "sludge" at the bottom of the bottle.  Never quite sure if you consume it  (the French say yes)  or not (Americans say no).  

No matter what type of wine, most are made from grapes. That being said, any "sludge" is just the smaller bits of grapes that made it through the straining process.... Won't hurt you at all to consume it! I mean, c'mon... The tequila with the worm in it.... Don't recall anyone dieing from gulping that down! Perhaps some hallucinating but, surely, no deaths! LOL And, regardless of what is used to make the wine, grapes, dandelions, etc.... it's not only all natural but, it's fermented into alcohol. Which would be a "sterilizing" to whatever the sludge consists of!

Yeah, I was just barely getting ready to go from elementary to jr high when this got released. So, wasn't really familiar with L & M back then. I too, was quite glad to see who it was! What an awesome tune! But then, being all grown, I've heard a few numbers from them. They've always harmonized quite well! Pretty sure that's part of what made them such a good duo!

Thnx for sharing! Very cool!

I saw this band play live twice... only major band I ever saw perform twice. They were a great fusion of bluegrass/jazz/folk/rock. This wasn't my favourite album; I considered it to be a bit too mainstream (the hits). But thanks for playing this Bill! I'm now dusting off those L&G songs in my collection... making me smile!  .......and Jimmy's guitar.... oh Jimmy's guitar!!!!!!

Hearing this song makes me believe that early Loggins & Messina were a strong influence on the Black Crowes.

Wow.

Timely as ever, sadly. Same old wine indeed.

Sometimes I forget how jammin' these guys were for a few years there... My buddy Johnny M and his older brother Danny used to play and sing their songs on guitar, and, sadly, RIP to both of them -- but the memories shall always jam!

Damn, this just sizzles, now more than ever... Some of my friends' older siblings and/ or parents had works from this popular duo on their record shelves, and of course, "Your Mama Don't Dance (& Your Daddy Don't Rock & Roll)" as I seem to recall was on the 45 if you peered deep down into the machine, was on the radio and every jukebox through the mid-'70s, but this song didn't get much if any play then. The Viet Nam War was nearing The End, protests had lost steam and faded, and new distractions came along, such as The Arab Oil Crisis... --Wait, what --? Have we been drinking the same old wine, all this time?  ...Same as it ever was...  Same as it EVER was...



This song got plenty of play at my house.

This is a great album to put on the turntable, sit back with some friends and just listen. I still have the album and this is what I consider their best work.

Huh?! I had most of the albums of both bands, Elton John and Loggins & Messina, and have seen them each in concert multiple times from the 1970s through the 2000s. There is no resemblance whatsoever between them, other than that they play rock 'n' roll and have many instruments! Your comment makes it clear you don't know either band very well, especially Loggins & Messina. Do your homework, man!!

 
Agreed. There may be some sounds akin. But that was the sound of the day, and it was pretty badass.
I think some people just like saying stupid shit to prove they're stupid. Don't let them bother you too much. But feel free to ridicule mercilessly.

These two cats were quite Lame. Here they are doing a fairly decent Elton John impersonation. This was better than their later stuff. 

For "Your Mama Don't Dance and Your Daddy Don't Rock and Roll" they must never be forgiven
