Emerging from my belladonic haze to give this one a BOS, along with The Real Me.

Excellent start, sez I.

Eh, it was '73. Was anyone truly out in popular music then? Maybe Little Richard?

And another BOS for me as well. Hope they finally make that Faces reunion tour happen before another member kicks it. It's been talked about for years now.

Blondie Chaplin FTW. And multiple members of Chicago backing this one, too. (They had quite the mutual admiration society going on back then.)

Btw, just found out yesterday the Beach Boys (the Mike Love version) will be at the Oregon State Fair on Labor Day. Might be worth checking that out.
