The Legend of Dickie-berg (Newsfest)

[thetworegs]

Excellent production.... nothing more than Dickie deserves....that bass pumps away deep surrounded by that lovely organ

[Zoltan]

What a wonderful composition from such a decent man! It's the mark of a decent man that you're able to sing about these kinds of topics and make it sound like sunday school. Even the nuns would like this.

A bonafide 70s hit single. That's what this is. It just a few decades late for it to get on the top of the list.

If this was a single release you could have used this slogan to sell it: don't be a dick, buy it.

I've just Googled Dickie Berg Dildo - his name's Ken Pretty - there are photos - it's a Pretty Dickie Berg.

We don't have such things around our way - well not that I can recall

What a splendid addition to the fest.

This is a monster of a song and subject! I like the way the production reaches to the sky. There are a lot of proggy elements that draw some real attention. Ok, enough jousting about, lol. A very good song, lyrics, vocals, and instrumentation, Bluesberry! The guitar solo and the chords movement at the outro are an excellent way to wrap this one up. Well done!

Great massive sounding guitars on this and very good vocal and production. The lead guitar especially nicely cuts though the mix just right. Also like the alternation between acoustic and electric rhythm guitars. Nice mellotron part by Keith too! Hilarious lyrics!

[Redler]

Very fine proggy number with unbelieveable story. I'm liking the chord progression...

Excellent performance and production!!

Thanks everyone...it's amazing when inspiration grabs you and you go with it...that's the best thing about songwriting for me...that flow state when you are inside the bubble so to speak.....I wanted to do something from the news...but everything is so damn depressing right now........and I was searching the web...and this story appeared.....and I thought, bloody hell I must turn that into a song.....but I wasn't sure if I could do it up right...then the inspiration took hold and away I went........probably one of the funnest things I have written and recorded......and I am pleased how it turned out......the original idea I had in my head was "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" if you can imagine.....that was what I was thinking about when I set off on my journey....thanks Dickie-Berg for the big inspiration ...hahaha

The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald!  The Legend of Dickie Berg!  The Canadiens sure can muster up some interesting songs from interesting stories.  As much as I enjoyed Gordon Lightfoot over the years now I can connect into the legendary Bluesberry....
Indeed it is so much better on the site when you are writing and posting.... much better and very very interesting and excellent music too.
