Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday #12!! the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

If you’ve gone and made it through Monday, then mostly likely today is Tuesday. If this holds to be true then the following…. er   follows:

Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday  #12!!

For the new Reader at the Doctrine, Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday is a blog hop created by Friend of the Doctrine, Jen Kehl.  Jen is the astoundingly versatile writer behind the blog, My Skewed View that you see in the Doctrine Blogroll right over —> there. In any event, Jen has a passion for music and a blog so we have this totally fun blog hop where we all suggest song lists (mix tapes to the ‘not old people’). Jen has the support and assistance of  the able-bodied Kristi who is also a Friend of the Doctrine, is on the Blogroll because she is the authorini of the startlingly original blog, Finding Nine.  (‘the Minnetonka Times-Tribune says, “holy smoke! that blog she writes, who the hell gets born with a sense humor, grammatical skills and be able to draw cartoons?!?! “)

This Week’s Mix Tape Tuesday is all about the 1970s.

In case you were wondering, the answer is, ‘yes, the Wakefield Doctrine does, in fact, allow us some degree of insight into probable musical choi)ces by the three personality types’. Of the songs provided below, some will be more likely to have an appeal to someone with a scottian worldview than those with the rogerian worldview.  For example, the song Funk #49 will count among it’s fans a higher percentage of scotts than rogers, while the Elton John tune, ‘My Father’s Gun’ will be attractive to a rogerian audience in a significantly higher percentage, when compared to scotts and clarks. While the temptation to look for scottian themes versus, say rogerian production values is very strong, and is not without merit, it is totally necessary to stop and remember the saying, ‘everyone does everything, at one time or another‘. What this statement/observation is meant to remind us is that there are virtually no activities, interests, jobs, preference of position, hobbies, avocation or professions that are: scottian jobs or rogerian hobbies or clarklike interests. It is all about ‘how we relate ourselves to the world around us’ and, specifically how the clark or the scott or the roger relate to say, being a carpenter, going to a live concert, introducing someone to a new artist, teaching someone how to play music. So look at what the person feels about the activity and that will tell you a great deal about their particular worldview.

Below is the Wakefield Doctrine’s Mix Tape from the 1970s

Sunday Papers – Joe Jackson  From his first album Look Sharp. Joe Jackson could have (and should have) been a top selling artist in the 1990s as well as the 70s. The clean, spare production with the nicely edged lyrics, his first album is solidly in the category of ‘not a bad song on it!’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Funk #49 – The James Gang   scottian guitarist extraordinaire, Joe Walsh started the 70s strong with ‘hook intensive, guitar driven’ music and is still going strong (google him: Crossroads Guitar Music Festival) and great sense of humor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_J4pADDMZs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Father’s Gun – Elton John From the album, Tumbleweed Connection,  one of those albums that burst on the scene by virtue of ‘a sound’, not just a single song or catchy hook, immediately recognizable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moondance – Van Morrison  (2:30am in the dorm room, the Sangria is gone, the incense is nothing but an ash-worm in the tray by the window and you need just…. s he’s still there but you need something to push the evening over the carnel cliff… Moondance!! totally worked every time)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stormy Monday – Allman Brothers (Live at the Fillmore East) the Kings of southern rock, what says 1970s guitar music better than ‘entire album side songs!’ Either our (musical) attention spans were massively greater or the pot played tricks on our minds and these songs really were 3 minutes/3 hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brown Sugar – ZZ Top  You know how it is with some groups, from the first note of the first song that you hear, you know that they are special. More associated with the 1980s, ZZ Top’s first album had ‘the other Brown Sugar song’

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZBKQpY1pis

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First I Look at the Purse – J Geils  (Thursday evening in the dorm, if Van Morrision was the Closer, then this song was the room bait… played on Harman Kardons college campuseses across the nation c 1971)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Belly Button Window – Jimi Hendrix   something a little different from one of his last and, relatively under played albums

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMeCm4d8F5U

So that is a look at the 1970s

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

  1. Fine! Let’s get it this out first….when I die I have to meet Jimi. Man, what a clark. Just so —- no words. He’s all effect..affect? Powerful all.

    Where was I? 50% of these selections figured prominantly in the choreography of my life. Thanks for another great Twisted 2’sday.

    No doubt the effect music, musicians, their lyrics, performances have on all 3 worldviews is tremendous but I submit that for clarks there is an intensity that lingers longer. It’s about the emotional response music illicits from clarks. Makes sense. clarks being the “emotionally expressively challenged” and all.

    Now, got to go visit Jen and Kristi….

  2. Dream says:

    Wonderful list and more music I’ve not heard before! And so many have a strong bluesy sound, I’m in audio heaven. Great to listen to you this week!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Dream

      yeah, the thing about the 70s (looking back) is that there was so much variety of styles being developed… if you just looked in the corners. Always loved the blues, the Allman Brothers Stormy Monday being so well done in a fair large venue. Lots of song frags in my head this day.

  3. Thanks for the Joe Jackson pick. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed one of his later songs, Breaking Us in Two.

    Moondance makes me think of an old SNL skit (“old” being a relative term).

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Lori

      Joe is, in my opinion, one of the major under-appreciated song writers/performers coming out of the 70s

  4. A wonderful list of music from the time when I was born. Thanks for sharing, Clark…be back for more Wakefield assessment!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Michelle

      you’re welcome!

      If you haven’t heard, we have been working on getting ‘the google+’ to provide the Wakefield Doctrine with the opportunity to have Friends of the Doctrine call in from anywhere on this here planet here! Am getting a trial call in organised with the help of Considerer and will let you know when we are trying for… (you kinda have the most significant Time Zone differential… we’ll find a time of convenience for all)

  5. Lance says:

    GREAT LIST!

    You started me off with Joe Jackson. I think you’re a superhero or something. James Gang, Van, and J Geils? awesome work, here. You have good taste.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Lance

      thank you… to those the 60s and 70s did not kill(outright) are given the gift of crazy diverse music and such.

      (by the way, I had instant blog-envy at the title of your blog, damn! )

  6. Dana says:

    I didn’t know ZZ Top was around in the 70s – my first memory of them is the She’s Got Legs video on MTV. Very different list than mine, but still great!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Dana

      yeah, I listened to them then, but they sort of went low profile towards the end of the 70s but then with the MTV music video are song performance of the 80s (they totally excelled at the video thing, of course). But I am starting to see how a lot of the giants of the 80s (and 90s) had a presence way earlier than we would think.

  7. Jen says:

    OK Sunday Papers? BRILLIANT! Love this song so much, and love the whole album as well. Awesomeness. You know sometimes it’s easy to forget that Elton John has more than one side.
    I love that you always bring the classic rock. Everyone always thinks of J Geils as Centerfold, and doesn’t realize they were an actual band :-)

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Jen

      Love Joe Jackson… Tumbleweed Connection (and the 1st two Geils) albums are classic case of liking the early stuff (of a band). You couldnt get 30 feet into a college dorm without the sounds of Peter Wolfe…lol

      (have started my list for next week, you should be proud/ashamed of creating such a responsible adult temptation as this here blog hop here that your TMT Tuesday be)

  8. Huh, I never really listened to much of Jimi Hendrix. I grew up listening to a large mix of music ranging from the 60’s until now, so I only know and heard some names, but I do like “Stormy Monday!”

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Keith

      the thing about (this version of) ‘Stormy Monday’ is a) a great live version and 2) though there are countless versions out there the Allman Brothers is very excellent…

      (…never too late for the Hendrix! lol I will admit I went for the esoterica from his catelog for this one.)

  9. Clarkina Rogette approves of this list. Mostly Moondance.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Tracy

      alright!! I am intrigued! you (would appear to be claiming status) as clarklike female with a significant secondary rogerian aspect… I would submit your second choices would be a semi-ite between Elton John and the Allman Brothers (but you want to like the Hendrix… but it is such a non-Hendrixistic song you have decided to set it aside for the moment).

      (the frickin guy uses the term ‘fantabulous’ and he sounds even cooler! damn)

  10. Oh Elton John, how I love thee. And Clark how I love THEE for the most excellent description of me (because it’s all about me me me – is that Scott-like? hm.)!! And Scott! I love him, too! Sorry Roger, you are a little more weird and foreign to me.*
    But all three of you deserve props of the most excellent variety for choosing some kick-@ss songs to share with us today. I’d forgotten all about Belly Button Window! It’s funny…I just listened to it here today and for some reason, I don’t love it as much as I used to. I mean, I still love it but now I’m wondering if the reason I REALLY loved it in high school was more due to the intake of certain substances. Interesting.

    *However, I do quite like your view ‘everyone does everything, at one time or another‘ so there’s that. Maybe I need to dig a little deeper and get to know Roger better.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Kristi
      the ‘everyone does everything one time or another’ has multiple value, as a way to remember it is about how the person relates themselves to the world, not just the desription of, say a particular occupation as much as how would a clark relate to being this or being that, and soctts and rogers. Having said that, the worldview (of a person) does result in a higher percentage of one type over another, depending on the requirements of the job/task/profession. Take physicans…please! all things being equal, there will be more scotts among the ranks of surgeons than rogers and clarks, pediatricians will attract clarks, oncology, rogers. Teachers are another example of this ‘everyone at one time or another perspective, clarklike females: elementary ed, male college professor (having nothing do to with the intellectual demands, of course, as there is no differnce genderifically speaking)… scotts: high school and middle school. and so on.

      Now the ‘one time or another’ phrase is useful when directed to ourselves, and can be very enlightening.

      (working on next week list already, seeing how you the co-hostini, I’ll give you a hint, 2 words: Parliment. )

  11. If you keep reading my mail I’m not going to comment ever again. ;)

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Tracy

      lol it’s not me, honest!! it’s this damn Wakefield Doctrine, it’s that good. Please continue to Comment (at your pleasure), we will strive to be as dense and non-perceptional* as possible.

      * a rogerian expression based witticism**
      ** the explanation is more amusing than it sounds…speaking of amusing…one of the fun things about this Doctrine is hearing from people as they ‘try out’ the three worldviews/personality types, since that is how it is done: try them out in different situations discard the clearly unlikely and then switch back and forth, like an optometrist doing an eye test…’is this clear? …now is this clearer?..about about this?’ lol all about what resonates. You might want to stop by the scottian female shoppe (I will leave the obvious jokes for later)…you might find things there comfortable (as a candidate for predominant worldview)… let us know!

  12. I always leave your window open and wait for you to comment back because Awesome. The fact that Roger would more likely be an oncologist makes me like him more, because can we please cure cancer already?
    Haha to Parliment being 2 words. And I try to cohost when I can but I don’t always make it.
    Thanks dude!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Kristi

      well, rogers are more of the focus of late for a couple of reasons, a)that worldview is more difficult for a clark to understand/appreciate…more than the scottian worldview is and 2) the majority of my effort, these days, is focused on developing ways we can access the ‘reality’ of all three worldviews. Nothing weird, here….no metaphysics or anything. But it is a part of the Doctrine that what most other personality systems call personality, we call “how you’d turn out if you were dropped into the world of the Predators at a very early age” (or the world of the Outsider or the Herd Member). Combined with the idea that we all retain the capability to access all three worldviews, I think that anyone with any interest in self-improvement or self-development will be all over this Doctrine. So we continue the efforts to understand the experience that is life in the World of the Outsider(clarks) the reality of the Predator(scotts) and the daily experience of the Herd Member(rogers).

      …the questions help…it forces my all-over-the-place clarklike tendency to focus on a specific topic and such.

  13. Joe Jackson always makes me happy. So underrated. Love ‘It’s different for girls.” J. Geils, Allmans, James Gang…it’s impossible and infuriating. Good list.

  14. Slu says:

    Dude… Incredible List!!! We are so on the same page…

    I listen to this ZZ Top tune often while listening to Pandora. We both have Joe. Your Allman Brothers selection is truly nice. I love J. Geils. Moondance is off the charts. I’ve got Elton next week. Such a good list… Slu

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Slu

      (I was Commenting to someone) and saying that the real challenge is getting the musical mindset for a certain style of music (“in the mood for….” if you will) in order to remember the damn songs and artists! lol

      I feel bad ’cause I missed one huge song, but now that it’s been mentioned, it can’t be used* that’s Mississippi Queen. Tons more to sift through. The ZZ Top (I think I alluded to in the Post) was one of those…’holy shit! who are these guys!’ kind of album from the very first song.

      *the Wakefield Doctrine’s secret Rules of Competition that isn’t really competition…lol

  15. Nice, chilled music for this ‘wonderful’ Wednesday. It’s perfect actually – the weather is grey and rainy outside and I’m feeling relaxed – not stressed and negative like yesterday. It’s all good. Thanks for the good vibes and have a fab day! :)

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Melanie

      (for you, maybe change the reference in ‘Moondance’ from ‘October’ to June?) Sorry to hear about your…. season. But I will share what I do to shorten the process (of winter)… look for the days to start getting longer!

      Hey, will be doing a call-in with the google+ thing soon! The whole idea of it is also the challenge (of scheduling) it is a way to talk in real time (and video if you choose to) and I pretty much have the extreme times worked out. Michelle is the farthest away in time (Singapore 12 hours) the rest are either domestic (Denise, Cyndi) or nearby overseas (Considerer who is 5 hours ahead of us). SO I’m thinking an early morning Doctrine Time should be the best.
      Details to follow.

  16. Cyndi says:

    Good stuff, all good picks and I was looking at your response to Monday’s comment: haha, glad G+ is workin out fer ya. ;)
    Keep up with the good In-Doctrine-ation. HA!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Cyndi

      Yeah… kinda weird with the star-trek-spock-goes-crazy fisheye lens look on the screen, but one last detail (I’ll IM directly) and we can do live call-in…Devries and U of Phoenix look out! yo the Doctrine coming

      lol

  17. Jak says:

    I know I know… *holds up a hand* I know… I’m late. Not like fashionably late either. BUT I’d like to think not End of the World late either. Somewhere in between maybe.

    That sad part about it all is I read through this post last Wed. Thanks for introducing me to sweet tunes from the 70’s! I actually knew two of them, and I am almost ashamed I didn’t recognize 2 others I thought I would undoubtedly know. That would be the ZZ Top and Hendrix jams. I know a handful of theirs, but for some reason I was unfamiliar with the selections for each.

    I should research some music out of my Gen. I mean, I have a decent exposure to a good handful, but most of it is likely mainstream.

    Time to check out what you are thankful for and see possibly how the 80’s treated you!

    Jak

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      @Jak

      …the ZZ Top joint was from, literally, their first ‘album’… I totally remember it for 2 reasons, a) I happened to read an interview with/about Hendrix and he mentioned ZZ Top by way of an example of what a band needs to succeed…’feeling’ I think he was quoted as saying and 2) the Progenitor roger showed up in the dorm with this plain brown album and played it and it was one of those that you knew there was something special about them (like the first time I heard/saw Living Colour or Nirvana it was, ‘holy shit!’)

      ..the 80’s now there’s gonna be some fun.
