look out, Gaz -- Skynyrd coming up, we're told.

Lawd have murphy. Can we counterbalance it with some Suzi Quatro or Whinyface Elliman?

Kicking off with Rod pretending he's in the Rolling Stones. Not bad.

I'm in on time for the first time in a while!

gonna need a shot of "vittamin E". Rodney's feeling sexy, Gaz is really frightfully bold.

The songs from Street Survivors that we'd likely hear are "What's Your Name?", "That Smell", "I Know a Little" & "You Got That Right".
The first was doubtlessly the most played in Chicagoland, the second the most ironic/tragic considering the deaths of half the band, but the one I'd like to hear is the third song, a very tasty boogie number that is much more of a DDT.
ETA: well it looks like door # 2.

"If I Can't Halve You", theme song of all magicians who saw women in half.

BOS: Linda!

VHM Woody (when he was better than good).

I hadn't had a close listen to "That Smell" in awhile, but the dueling guitar work at the end is actually very well done.
"I'm dealing with two guys named Cheech." I bet someone appropriates that soon for their avatar tagline.

Ah, Freddie, who knows his way around a pleasure cruise ...

dude! it's prog rock!

I wonder what Plugged In Online has to say about this song, not that it would stop drunken red-state yokels from singing it at football games.
-
WOS Yes at their most irrelevant.
-

I've certainly not heard this since I had the vinyl. Wow.
How come no one uses big old church organs anymore?

because they're terribly hard to find. and few people know how to repair them. it's like building restoration in the u.s. if it's old, tear it down!

While living in Boston, I worked at Old West Church, which has a nationally-renowned pipe organ. Amazing sound. I always wanted someone to play "In a Gadda-da-Vida" on it, but no one took me up on it.
Last church organ I heard in rock songs: the openings to GM's "Faith" and Jellyfish's "The Man I Used to Be."

both of which were probably synths.
-
There's something about this Dave Mason album that still rings true to me. Maybe it was due to my largely unhappy adolescence, but there are several songs here that I found/find refreshing & optimistic, even romantic, although I was not myself much of a romantic then.
-
sooo high... rock me baby, roll me away.
VHM for not having heard this in a good long while.
-
Gaz tunes out at first sign of "Jungle Love."
-
gaz better run and hide from the grated papaya (dog)!
-
dude - it's prog rock again!!
-
and now I'm running from Geddy Lee (whose voice only [papaya] dogs can hear).
-

It's crate of papaya, not grated papaya. --the Mondegreen Police
-
dude - it's prog rock again!!
dudette -- it's BAD prog rock. Twice in one set... THAT'S just wrong.
-
Oh, what the hell: BOS to "Laverne & Shirley" and the Cindy Grecco-sung theme.

woowooowooo - run from the sirens! i know that, MP. ooh, MP - that's scary.
:) i was merely revisiting a thread of yesteryear.
"gramma thinks i've come to take you home!"
-

I have a crystal clear memory of the first time I encountered Rush. I was 14, & babysitting for some people who were due home very late, so I was watching Don Kirschner & he introduced this band from Canada to play this song. I even remember what the bells looked like on stage.
Bought the album the next day.

it's just different prog rock...it's ok. i know you're afraid of change. like the hardcores criyng when they heard bitches brew. :)

admittedly that was a pretty cringe-worthy effort from Yes, but "Closer To The Heart" is not.

in the case of Yes and Rush circa '77, it was actually the prog dinosuars who refused to change in the face of punk (which this set sorely needs).
Gaz, yer missing JT's "Handy Man". Ah, that late-'70s subgenre, the Mellow Remake.
-
this song (jt) always makes me think of the black sheep line:
You claim to be the man. you want me for a lover
So you can do my girlfriends and my sister and my mother'
I said, 'You're very blunt, with quickness to the cue
So whassup with your mother does she look as good as you?
-
I do believe Linda R is singing backup for JT. Or maybe Jennifer Warnes.

I just tried to come up with a"gay organ repair" joke and My head's about to explode...

The organ repairist who fixed the one in my dad's church & who later hired me on as his assistant to fix another organ in a nearby church was gay too. I wouldn't have figured that to be a 'gay' profession.

I once went out on a date with the guy who repaired the organ at the Old West Church. It actually is a very gay profession -- one of the premier schools for learning the art is Oberlin, which is about as gay as a college can be; further, there's that whole tragic dynamic of people entering religious vocations as either avoidance of or penance for their orientations ...

Gay church types who are non-clergy tend to gravitate to music, whether choir or playing the organ. Guess it's a small leap from playing to fixing. Can all the anti-gay preachers (especially in black churches) be that clueless about the members of their choirs? An especially sad situation.

They're not clueless; they're "loving the sinner but hating the sin," and the gay churchgoers, being in many cases consumed with self-hatred and/or self-doubt, accept this as fitting judgment or fitting compromise.

That's pretty much my take, too.
But there are also significant numbers of churches, pastors & churchgoers (though not always all 3 at the same time) who are far more progressive than their official church body, and who welcome gays on their own terms & profess their christian love with no reservations about one's orientation. Like my dad's church & (just guessing) Geoff's.
