Title: 1970 on Fri 3/25/05
Post by: RGMike on March 25, 2005, 07:19:41 AM
Hoping Bob resists the (corporate) urge to play "Layla".  I'd love Ronnie Dyson or Robin MacNamara or Emmit Rhodes, but I'll settle for White Plains.  And I'm sure there's Beatles and/or Macca in store.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."  Also 3DN's "Out in the Country."  And "The Rapper."

2 out of 3 ain't bad ("Uncle Albert" is summer of '71). But I always love hearing 3DN's OINC.

Yay for horns all over the place.  HMs to Van and the Ides.  Previes never sounded so good as the latter.

Oops, I was thinking it was an immediate followup to "Another Day" -- was that one also 1971?  What month in '70 did Let It Be come out?

Feb or March, as I recall.  At least that was when radio started playing advance copies.

For some reason, I've never really liked SSDIY.  Can't articulate why -- there's not much different between this and his other uptempo hits of the period -- but it rubs me the wrong way.  Hrm.   :?

BOS to the stentorian master Edwin Starr.

Although I can't hear this without thinking of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry convinces Elaine that the working title of "War & Peace" was "War: What Is It Good For?"

back to the horns!!

i saw the roots on my bday in amsterdam two years ago, and they opened the show by looping "war...what is it good for?" over and over again.

that means this nonsense (http://www.anysoldier.com/index.cfm) has been going on for two years.

Try sitting through a twin-spin of that and Victor Lundberg's "Open Letter to My Teenaged Son."

The beginning just reminds me of Moonlight Sonata, but I'm pretty ignorant of classical music, so don't pay me no mind!

I remember some musician friends of mine at the time really liked this song.  I was pretty green back then as a musician.  Nice guitar work, and the percussive organ stuff too.

It's the "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This" of its time: nice riff, but Run Into The Ground.

Indeed, I always associate the two in my mind.  At the time, there were 2 edits of the Think record -- one ends with "he died of an ovedose" followed immediately by the musical coda; the other has the (endless) breakdown-and-crying-jag by the father. Hearing that on Sunday morning during Casey Kasem (the only place in NY the song was heard) could REALLY put you off breakfast...

Spooky piano intro!  What a brilliant artist.  Great song.  Have y'all heard Eva Cassidy's version?

The WM stream is destroying the tone though.

No "pennant" means you won the league championship (and the right to challenge the other league's champ in the WS).

Yes those were the days -- the only place I ever heard "The Ballad of Lieut. Calley" as well.  And doubtless the only place a lot of folks heard Dylan's "George Jackson".
