Platinum Ganster Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Kansas -Dust in the wind

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

1978 Leaving the hospital with the rest of my family after the death of my Dad, I started my car and the first few notes of this song began playing from the radio as I sat in the parking lot, listening. It's still one of the greatest and most unexpected life-lessons I've ever learned.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

🎶🙏🎶

[@starlaryer4165]

That has to hit a note for you each time you hear it. Your dad died young...I had mine until 1999....still miss him

[@jennytalks5882]

Wow. I'm sorry. What a surreal moment.

[@destinyreelly2974]

There were no rules back then. We didn’t care what you looked like, what you wore, your hair, skin color, sexuality. We cranked everything from The Jackson Five to Sam Cooke to Queen to Black Sabbath to Earth, Wind & Fire to Elton John. I always felt like everyone had something to offer. But I’m a hippie so ❤❤❤❤

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Carry on Wayward Son is a Kansas MUST!!!!!!! PLEASE put it on the list!!!

[@TPaine1776]

Definitely

[@anessalyn1035]

I know Carry on Wayward Son is typically the most known or liked by Kansas, but Dust In The Wind has this hauntingly beautiful feel to it. The title is a Bible reference. Anyway, it's great to see someone enjoying the classics. Keeps those songs out there for the world to hear.

[@roccaclassico9028]

The message of this song is not an endorsement of living an Epicurian lifestyle; in fact, just the opposite. It's a reflection on humility. Seeking the accumulation of wealth & luxuries are vanity, as they will pass away just as we all will. We are meant for a greater purpose, much greater than our own selfish desires.

[@reformedwheat5648]

Straight out of Ecclesiastes 🙏🏻

[@SmartCookie63]

​@@reformedwheat5648sure is! These guys were Christians who had a rock band. All their music had these messages embedded.

[@cyndiereese6909]

this song is absolutely epic in every way

[@Rhasha00]

Saw Kansas at my first ever concert as a driving teenager in '76 and they were great. There was no pyro or light show, only them and their music and they owned the room.

[@unndunn1]

“All we are is dust in the wind, dude.” It was quoted in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure when they were trying to sound philosophical

[@okieranchwife]

I'm 63. I want this song played at my funeral.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

I love Kansas! I grew up with these songs and this was one of my fav songs ever and still is!! Thanks Krizz!!

[@stevedoumas7701]

The 60s 70s and 80s really shows you how good the level of music can be when the industry allows ordinary looking people to make music. You get rich musicianship, deep lyrics, and complex themes. Atlanta Rythym Section is another case of amazing music from regular guys. Check out their songs -- So into You, Spooky, Champagne Jam, Not going to let it bother me tonight... Thanks as always for the reactions from so many different decades and genres!

[@lorilxn1597]

Ive always loved Kansas

[@sheilahasson-uz7uk]

The times we grew up in the 70's . I am 66 and still like guys with long hair I miss it. My husband had wast length hair. I wish it would come back.

[@jennytalks5882]

"NOT ANOTHER MINUTE WILL YOUR MONEY BUY". Such a great song. They don't make music now like they used to. They truly don't.

[@davidmertz2095]

Kell Livgren, the white haired guy in the video playing guitar wrote this song. And, the melody is a finger picking exercise Livgren used to keep his skills sharp. His wife asked him what he was playing, Livgren told her it was just a finger pickin exercise. And, she told him - well it would make a great song. And from that conversation this song was born. One other reference - the spiritual aspect of the song. Catholics on Ash Wednesday get ashes. When they get ashes, one fo the phrases the person applying ashes says - Remember that you are dust and unto dust you shall return. Physics would say we are all a combination of dust that was dispersed through the universed billions of years ago by the big bang. All messages that can be found in this incredible song.

[@christinahilt2978]

They just came through Indiana again on their 50th Anniversary tour. Amazing band to see live.

[@Richard-g7e3s]

This song wrote by Kerry the blonde guy of Kansas was just a finger picking exercise, But when his Wife heard this she said you need to write words to this!

[@anitawright7169]

The guy playing the violin they used to call him Big Red. He passed away. He was so very talented as was the rest of the band. Love your reaction

[@TheDivayenta]

Robbie Steinhardt.

[@messiahsbythesackful6267]

One of the best live shows I've ever seen was Kansas and Styx in a small (really small) venue in the 90's. Just three hours of two bands playing and singing. Perfectly. They still had the hair, just much more grey.🙂‍↔️

[@dbutterfly1980]

I enjoy listening to your reactions, I was born in 1980, and I always find myself going back to the classics. Keep them coming, pls :)

[@michelecorneail3791]

Some people don’t realize that Kansas was a Christian Rock band. Listen to the lyrics of all their songs!

[@donnaerickson2021]

Not exactly right. Kerry Livgren was on a spiritual quest when he started the band. He became a devout Christian and started writing more religious music. But Steve Walsh wasn’t comfortable singing the lyrics, didn’t want to be a Christian band, and just wanted to play in a rock band. This led to a parting of the ways when Steve left Kansas in 1982, and formed his own band, Streets, but ended up returning to Kansas in 1986.

[@mariaportengen2959]

A beautiful song, I love it. 🎶🎶👍

[@justmejoy124]

Krizz this sing is one ive always loved loved loved. Caught them early 2000s in an amphitheater in Ga. And they were even better than any studio version. Thx 👍

[@vickiandrews4087]

I've always felt I lived in such a fantastic time for music in the 60s and 70s (72yo). We had this, all the great Motown artists, British invasion artists, great rock...all at the same time...and I loved it ALL!!

[@ryanr5319]

'Remember man that thou art dust, and to dust you shall return.' Favorite Ash Wednesday incantation from the priest. Wise. Ty for reaction!

[@agwyvern]

So very true, a timeless piece of wisdom. I've always enjoyed this song, particularly knowing that it's based on a phrase first uttered in the time of Socrates around 2430 years ago, by the traveling philosopher Ted Logan ... "All we are is dust in the wind, dude".

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

The song was also featured in an episode of the TV series The Highlander

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

This started as a finger picking exercise. The guitarist’s wife heard it and said it sounded like a hit record.

[@AnnaMarie66]

Kansas are LEGENDS 🔥🎶

[@beckiramsey9561]

This is such a great song!!❤❤

[@MoniCharli677]

Our Lovesong❤ 45 years later🎉🎉 Married at 18 to the best Man ever! Sure ups n downs.. Awesome Utube channel Mr K💜☮️🙏

[@tmr626]

Three more really good Kansas hit songs that people may have never heard before are: 1) Fight Fire With Fire 2) Hold On 3) Play The Game Tonight.

[@jenniferbabros1985]

We got away with alot back in the 70s 😂 we were so very much free spirits

[@dianasheart]

I was born in MO. Grew up in St Louis. Lived in KC KS on 7th several years.

[@jewls9697]

I was going to say, if you passed this dude coming out of a gas station or anywhere really, could you even picture hom playing a violin? Let alone that beautifully?? Not knocking it a bit! He's great!! Just sayin! 😂❤

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Got to give Roundabout by YES off the Fragile album a listen its a peach of prog by the goats of prog YES ✨️🎶✨️

[@davidstephens6462]

Still got my hair. 45 years in da dives, honky tonks, country clubs, meat market dance clubs, Shriner halls, American Legion and churches all over the metro ATL. Hats off to you my fellow spotted Brother! Though our melanin tones may not match, our melanin disorders definitely do. Glad that you’re looking outside your immediate scope of life. Looking for inspiration in the unexpected leads to interesting, if not great, things.

[@karenj3611]

The most beautiful lyrics, makes you stop and think.

[@frankk8018]

In my day "you have to have hair to rock" 💯 accurate.

[@WendyJoJohnston]

Oh my dear, this was one of the big songs that were hot on the radio during my Senior year of high school - I graduated in 1978. We had great music, and don't you miss what AM radio was then? Cool reaction, and btw, I think you are one of the coolest reactors on KZbin, I loved your Susan Boyle reaction. Party on!

[@bradcleveland2482]

Dust in the wind is a great way to look at life because what are we when we die

[@Almcingrid3663]

I saw them in 1982. Amazing concert & super nice guys.

[@angelaeason5438]

And I also like to say that life is like dust inThe wind that goes very fast faster than you. Thank and everything stays the same at the same. There's always wars about to break out. There's already threats of so many different things, and everything is confusing. Just enjoy the simple things and love everybody.

[@lilflowerbud]

Love my daily dose of Krizz ❣️ 🥺

[@terrygarcia897]

Saw them at the Texas jam Dallas cotton bowl. 1978.

[@AtticFareVintage-xy3kl]

As someone being born in the early 1960s, I think we had more style back in the day. You wouldn’t be seen in public with pants showing your drawers, pajama bottoms, etc. Hair, makeup, clothes…you showed your best self, had pride in how you presented to the world. Miss those days. It’s too casual now.

[@TPaine1776]

Saw these guys Nov. 30th, 1980. They kicked a$$

[@theodoreritola7641]

And by the way this was the mid 70s KALICO LOL Give the 70s thier do credit way to many times do the 80s get credit from GREAT 70s songs

[@ricksurratt9034]

What a unbelievable song and you gotta remember no drums no bass just strings

[@stephwest1382]

I find it funny that some people don't know there is a Missouri and Kansas side

[@PatriciaPeters-ys7yq]

you’re gonna love this song

[@mikeb3835]

Great music reaction as usual. Thanks for sharing what's going on with your eyelids. I have Vitiligo too, but in more discreet areas.

[@gypsygirl3255]

Wichita here. Saw these guys with Black Oak Arkansas in Salina, way back

[@geoffsullivan7902]

The songwriting here is beautiful. Truth❤😊

[@Robert-tj3qq]

Dust in the Wind ... Baby .. all we are is dust in the wind. Star dust

[@jackballjohnson3468]

“Now, don't hang on. Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. It slips away… And all your money won't another minute buy”

[@ricksurratt9034]

They have some amazing songs off of point of no return

[@grumpysonofbill5881]

I loved Kansas for the musciality, best Christian worship band ever. My favorite Kansas song is The Wall.

[@1funbeachbum2]

These guys were before the big hair bands and played great. My head stone is going to say (Dust in the Wind). And about that hair you ain't got no more . Looks great i go to the same barber.

[@ejay7606]

The first time I heard this song was in the TV show Highlander. The played it after Duncan’s girl Tessa died. Krizz you should do “Who wants to live forever” by Queen as well

[@tessasnow]

Love this song. Carry On Wayward Son should be next🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@johnsonwilliam1023]

I did back stage for tech way back in the early 2000’s with rusty back when everything was In blue springs seen a lot and I’m a lot of stuff doing that! Travis lived in blue springs then off of pink hill and hanging out at old strip joint off of vanbrunt

[@curtislong6806]

Whatever happened to songs with deep meaning?

[@jenniferbabros1985]

Thanks ❤️ you rock🎉

[@brianchacon6208]

"Your my boy Blue"!!😢

[@daveo8684]

KCK boy here bro. All my life.

[@PatriciaPeters-ys7yq]

I’m proud of you too I really

[@RhondaHill-mi7cw]

I enjoy your insights and commentary when you are on the other KZbin channel with your friend and subscribed to your channel as well. There is such a wide, wide world of music to enjoy out there. I don't know if you take requests but if you haven't check out Eva Cassidy. Any videos from her Live at Blues Alley are classic. Over The Rainbow, Autumn Leaves, Stormy Monday are a few great ones that show her versatility from classics to the blues. Thanks you for sharing Kansas. This song is a classic and they had a few others as well. And speaking of songs that show how much more open music was back then maybe check out Lola by The Kinks. Fun and timely for today at the same time.

[@belvagurr403]

Hair bands, spangles, and spandex became the norm!!!

[@stevenewcomer8837]

Another excellent KC, MO band, The Rainmakers. Their songs “Let My People Go-Go”, “Battle of the Roses”, and a fun one, “Big Fat Blonde”, are great songs to start with. Another favorite was released in I believe 2014, “Like Dogs”. The chorus and hook are about dogs, but the verses are about different kinds of men, so it’s interesting. I was loving the chorus and didn’t really catch the verses about the men until after listening several times. 🙄

[@chrisb7528]

That song is a banger!!

[@donnabost4445]

As a KCK native, i understand people's misunderstandings of Geography!!! Now in WI---same thing here!! Just colder hahahaha----enjoy your reactions

[@MissouriJohnson]

Best low key drop of this song was in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"

[@wisconsinman3590]

You should listen/react to CCR Midnight Special... WOW. You'll love it.

[@angelaeason5438]

I'm 54 and then there are amazing band as far as the hair goes when Metallica started cutting their hair. That's when all everybody started cutting their hair for some reason. And the song said the other people are talking about is a must. Yes, a must.

[@colleennovak1558]

Tell that to Jesus thee days in a grave and he rose again amen ✝

[@tyysubbs1703]

After the 80s all of life became less fun for everybody bother. less rockin' less hair, less colorful, less love, less fucking everything dude. To answer your question!

[@joedev7517]

You my boy blue!!!!

[@kathleenfarraher9894]

RIP my friends

[@karenmandeville7116]

i'm 68 and i miss guys with long hair. (my man still has hair almost to his ass LOL)

[@FinallyTuned]

Your in the right path

[@andrewthornton6043]

You’re my boy blue!!!

[@threekidzmom04]

Oh the hair is right!!

[@destinyreelly2974]

Give me a pause. ❤❤❤

[@zoelefevre3974]

One of my fav's!!! Gues I am showing my age! ha ha ha

[@sjddds]

Tuxedo was in the 60’s. Long hair in the 70’s. I wanted long hair. My dad said no. By the time I was on my way, the style was short hair. By the time long hair came back in vogue, I was going bald. I missed the long hair time.

[@jstrie275]

they sound much better live~~

[@michaelb.3982]

Please react to " Amen" by Kid Rock... The video is the best version.. Thank you.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

Another excellent band from Kansas City, MO was Shooting Star. They also had a violinist. Their song “Flesh and Blood” is a favorite of mine as well as “Last Chance”. I’ll post the links below. They got completely let down by their record company and distribution. Imagine this: “We had the number one most played AOR song in the country with 'Last Chance' and our record company, Virgin, had gotten into a fight with Atlantic Records, who was their distribution. We ended up not being able to get our album in the stores for six months.” 🙄 “Last Chance” kzbin.info/www/bejne/omaloqOsmLyor9Esi=3hpKTpvCxc1BkdGq “Flesh and Blood” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqisoKJjqb6BpKssi=kO2ctEjxFV-zJi68

There are 2 named Delmar, which is short for Delaware Maryland. Both towns borders both states. You could be in Delmar Maryland and drive across the border in to Delaware, and now you're in Delmar Delaware.

[@jeanine6328]

Dude, I miss 80’s fashion so bad. Every since grunge in the 90’s is been some form of sloppy. Everyone was dressed as if they had some place to be. People wore slack to high school and even sported a vest or tie with it. I’d pair a suit jacket with jeans and hats were big.

[@VickiCampbell-1216]

Hey Krizz. Love your channel. Just subbed. 💙Speaking of "Hair" maybe you can check out The Cowsills' 1969 song "Hair". You said, "lip trip", made me laugh. When my words don't come out right I tell the person I'm speaking to, "I'm breaking in a new mouth". 😂

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

Krizz you would look good in a white tux!

It runs in the hair bro 😂

[@jewls9697]

Still love me a long haired man!!

[@kupkakethebrutal4573]

You need to check out Kansas “The Wall”.

[@TonyaPoindexter-w5i]

If you ever want to know about the hair, I can fill you in. The son's had to take beatings, attacks and even getting thrown out of the family's home, if they wanted to let their hair grow passed their ears.

[@BlackMasakari]

Hair is good - i got none, that's how i know. Not at the right places anyway. Best song ever.
