Assuming the list they posted prematurely is correct --- BOS Donovan, "Atlantis", despite the fact that another of his lovely tunes has been turned into a commercial: "Happiness Runs" is shilling Delta Airlines.

I'm going to pretend I didn't see the list.   :x

OK, the list is right.  BOS to "Eli's Coming," a stunning vocal tour de force if I may say so.  Kind of glad I've never heard Laura Nyro's original.

I would agree, except it sounds out of place when he jumps from his mellow-voice into his yell-voice, and I never liked the "who-oh-ho-ha-ha-ha" vocal fills.

I haven't heard "Rock Me" since watching "MTV Closet Classics" in the mid '80s.  A shame so many people treat Steppenwolf as a one-hit wonder.

Fetching drummer, they had, too.

And as I mentioned the other day, John Kay looks like quite the leather daddy these days.  "Rock Me" is indeed somewhat forgotten (doesn't "test" well, I guess -- maybe it's that long conga-line break) but it was from a "dirty" movie (Candy) and that may be a factor.

man traffic sucks!  I passed no less than 4 accidents/spinouts on my way in to Sta Clara.

But I did happen to be in the car when they started talking 'bout Barry & I got my two cents worth on the air (in his defense, unlike every other caller).

Thanks for the proxy, but I may have to go with "Atlantis".

Forgot I was hearing the Drive and thought the 69 Banana Splits and talk was a promo Dave was doing for later today. Good for 69 now but I've missed most of it.

I can't hear "Venus" without envisioning the Bananarama dance-around-the-fire.

Hey POC,

1) who's that wearing the t-shirt?
2) are you going to Spring Break?  I plan to get tickets today & I will have my office to myself tomorrow (directly across the street, free parking) if you'd like to come over & prefunction.  Both my co-worker & my cow orker are out of town the rest of the week!

Anyone else with the inclination is certainly welcome!

He was an integral part of Quicksilver Messenger Service in the Shady Grove days.  "Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder" was a KSAN staple, and a piano tour-de-force.  He was also briefly with the Jerry Garcia Band, and there was some incredible interplay between him and Garcia.  Many many others.

of course it's supposed to be "goddess" but there's that unmistakable "n" sound in there.  I have searched forever for one of their follow-ups, which got some NYC airplay: "Never Marry a Railroad Man".

I just saw where you mentioned that on the other thread, but I never saw it either. Nor the Simpsons ep.

but as long as I keep striking out, what's Geoff's quote?  All I can think of is BVT = Baron Von Tollbooth
