Artist: D. Zager and R. Evans
Album: 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)
Cut: "In The Year 2525"
1969 RCA Records





from wiki: "In the Year 2525" opens with the words "In the year 2525, If man is still alive, If woman can survive, They may find...". Subsequent verses pick up the story at 1010-year intervals from 2525 to 6565.[2] Disturbing predictions are given for each selected year. In the year 3535, for example, all of a person's actions, words and thoughts will be pre-programmed into a daily pill. Then the pattern as well as the music changes, going up a half step in the key of the song, after two stanzas, first from A-flat minor, to A minor, and, then, finally, to B flat minor, and verses for the years 7510, 8510 and 9595 follow.

The song has no chorus. Amid ominous-sounding orchestral music, the final dated chronological verse is,

In the year 9595, I'm kinda wonderin' if Man is gonna be alive.
He's taken everything this old Earth can give, and he ain't put back nothin', whoa-whoa...,

The summary verse concludes:

Now it's been 10,000 years, Man has cried a billion tears,
For what, he never knew. Now man's reign is through.
But through eternal night, The twinkling of starlight.
So very far away, Maybe it's only yesterday.

The song goes back to the beginning, starting all over again, with 2525 before the song's fade.

The overriding theme, of a world doomed by its passive acquiescence to and over-dependence on its own overdone technologies (sound familiar "smart"phoners, fitbitters, iwatch(you all the time)ers?), struck a resonant chord in millions of people around the world in the late 1960s.

The song describes a nightmarish vision of the future as man's technological inventions gradually dehumanize him.

OFFSET: 1,1

Sequence is potentially cyclic.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..9.
# A111729 (b-file synthesized from sequence entry)
1 2525
2 3535
3 4545
4 5555
5 6565
6 7510
7 8510
8 9595
9 2525

FORMULA: for n<6 or n=8, a(n)= 101*(10n+15). For n=6 or 7, a(n) is irregular, and is equal 101*(10n+15) with the exception that the final two digits are fixed at 10. Assuming the cyclic sequence, for n>8, a(n) = f(n mod 8), with the exception that when n mod 8 = 0, take a(n) = n(8) = 9595.


(Yeah, I went to Rice.)

Broke out the K&G because damnit I wanted to!

Was feeling some classic rock so I busted out the Early/Later Days Led Zep. While I like a lot of their material off those two cd's--I don't think I could find myself buying their catalog.

Needed that Crue for some pump up jams.

Living Colour.... went old school...but honestly, their whole catalog is good. Although Biscuits EP and Stain were arguably their most experimental cds.

This song will never leave your brain.

Artist: Patsy Cline
Album: Showcase With the Jordanaires
Song: "Crazy" (written by Willie Nelson)
October 16, 1961 Decca records

Artist: Kitty Wells
Album: (1956) Kitty Wells' Country Hit Parade
Song: "Making Believe" (written by Jimmy Work)
1955 Decca Records originally released as a Single





Singer-songwriter Work released the song as a single in February 1955 on Dot Records, climbing to #5 on Billboard's country music jukebox charts. A month later, country music queen Kitty Wells released the song as well as a single which hit #2 on the country charts and remained there an astonishing 15 weeks, still a record for a song in the runner-up position on the country Billboard charts. The song was blocked to #1 by the 21-weeks long "In the Jailhouse Now" by Webb Pierce.

The song is a melancholy ballad about not getting over a former lover. The singer daydreams that they are still loved by the old flame even while fully knowing "you'll never be mine" again. The song was a perfect match for Kitty Wells' legendary wistful vocal style.

Record companies were reluctant to issue albums by country's female artists until Wells proved that women could sell. She became the first female country singer to issue an LP, starting with 1956's Kitty Wells' Country Hit Parade, which consisted of her biggest hits.

...and then there's Mike Ness' version with Social Distortion. I was fortunate enough to see this live back when it was released on their Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell tour back in tha' day (1992). Good times!
