1. Not a bad idea for us

After all these endless weeks of fruitless negotations trying to form a government, maybe Bibi should send up some white smoke from the PM's office when he finally does!
2. I hope, they will choke on that smoke !

You're dating yourself .....

Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (03.12.13)
obviously you have no contact with young people. Hendricks is timeless and still relevant today.
6. #5, Mordechai, what's about Ted Nugent...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.13.13)
I just watched him perform Stranglehold... I LOVE IT ! (Birdi also...lol)

oh wow, Hendrix, can never get enough of his music. Sarah B. Jimi's music will live on & on. Try listening to a few of his tunes, his words & his superb knowledge of the guitar. Hendrix=timeless. (Chris sure knows his music)
8. Black smoke
DovidHuntington ,   Huntington   (03.13.13)
Black smoke = Black Pope
9. Dayum ! All that good hash up in smoke.
Arik Silverman ,   Chicago USA   (03.13.13)
10. I hope the Vatican catches on fire
k ,   US   (03.13.13)
Who cares about the Pope, remember all the Catholics have done to the Jew? Most catholics are hard core anti-semites and even ex catholics have a hard time getting rid of the dehumanization of the Jews they learned in their religion, I hope the vatican goes up in flames
11. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.13)
If he's that timeless, why haven't you learned how to spell his name? I'm a Genesis - Strawbs - Emerson Lake & Palmer - Moody Blues fan myself. Now THAT is timeless. At the American end -- the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane / Starship. Bob Dylan exists in a category all his own. Listen to the lyrics of the songs written by any of the bands I've listed. Listen to the lyrics written by Bob Dylan. Then go back and listen to Hendrix. You'll feel silly, but you will have acquired an education.

I just don't like that over-amplification. And I don't see anything meaningful in the lyrics. I like rock well enough, but -- truth be told -- I prefer best of all listening to the Chassidic song festivals and the Israeli song festivals. I also like listening to Sephardic traditional melodies (Yehoram Gaon recorded some beautiful songs) -- and -- best of all? The original Parvarim. I NEVER get enough of that.
13. #7 Birdi, that may be your best post/comment ever

''to each his own.'' Gaon still has a voice, best of all is his smile and his love of our land. I listen to Sephardic music whilst driving as it keeps me awake and alert! @ 7. thank you for your compliment uncle noodles. Safe day to all of us.
15. #11. I respect you for your talkbacks
A ,   Belgium   (03.13.13)
now I love you for your taste in music! Strawbs...Moodies...like, WOW, man. How about (old) PFM and modern Gazpacho (Norway) and Moon Safari (Sweden)? And of course, the kings of stoner music, Ozric Tentacles. Though in Israel I liked listening to Itzik Kala, Jehudit Raditz (?), and of course, Rita. Now back to bashing "palestinians".

Yehudith Kravitz, in English. I too respect you for your posts and enjoy reading them. As for our Sarah B. she is our shining star.
17. Hey man when your dopin all music is cool maaan...

Apart from the British and American groups, I really only listen to Hebrew music. The only exceptions are Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel. My parents, z"l, were huge fans of both, and I acquired the passion from them. Especially for Brel. His contributions surpass those of Mozart, as far as I am concerned.
20. To: Birdi at No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.13)
Actually, I think it would be Yehudith Ravitz. Never cared for her all that much, though. And thank you for your very kind words!
21. 20. @ Sarah B.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.13.13)
Sarah would you understand if I called myself, "Mrs. Mallaprop?" Of course you are correct, Yehudite Ravitz is her name.
22. To: Birdi at No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.13)
Of course I would understand. I love Sheridan's "The Rivals."

Yoffi. Big smile.
