I thought it was a touch later, like 1976.

At least I wasn't the guy who called in.  :lol:

I'll third that. And welcome back to the fold, Mr. Gazoo. Hope your trip was everything you hoped.

HM to 1985, Wings.

Seconding that BOS, no shock there.  I wonder why Paulie didn't use the numeral "1985" for the title . . .

P.S.  I remain convinced that Franz Ferdinand could cover this song and do fun things with it.

Everything and then some.  I'll tell tales when I catch up on some biznits here on the homefront.  But if I may foreshadow: Don't be surprised if I've moved back to SF by year's end.  Much depends on job prospects and progress, but this past week reminded me that quality of life must, must, MUST reign supreme over quality of curriculum vitae.

And speaking of Macca, last night's Minus 5 show was opened with a solo McCartney tune I've never ever seen covered by anyone before. But I'll recount all of that over in the Concerts thread. ;-)

Fogheads are the CWAZIEST people! (and the dumbest)

BOS 2 Any Major Dude -- TANC, since Gaz & I listened to the Tom Robinson cover of "Rikki Don't Lose..." which appropriates the bridge from this song.

VHM to "Any Major Dude," which Mike and I just heard a snippet of Monday by way of Tom Robinson's "Ricky [sic] Don't Lose That Number" cover.

LOL - "Whoops, gotta go!" - Dave kills me sometimes.

P.S.  A '90s year-o-mystery would be FAR more difficult (which is probably why Dave's never done one AFAIK).

This song really takes me back to 1974.  I remember seeing the Hues Corporation play it "live" on Wonderama.  Anybody see that or even remember that show?  It was on channel 11 in Los Angeles.  Damn, the things you remember.  It was hosted by someone sort of famous...was it Wink Martindale?  Doesn't sound right...

Actually he has, more than once, tho' don't ask me which years.  I seem to recall that our first visit to '91 or '92 was a Mystery Year.

VHM2 to the Doobs, "Another Park, Another Sunday," simply gorgeous harmonies on this.
