I'm hoping for Brian Auger & Julie Driscoll's version of "This Wheel's On Fire."

Instead, we get a moody see-saw.

nice seg from "Seesaw" to "Magic Carpet Ride", even tho' the Steppenwolf is almost as overplayed as "Born to be Wild".

VHM Mr Armstrong -- this wouldn't hit the Top 40 until 1988, thanks to Good Morning, Vietnam.

Another BOS, John Fred and his Playboy band -- one of the most glorious OHW's in all of pop.

"Cross your heart
With your living bra"

Little Steven played this Sunday nite -- and pointed out that "only in the '60s" could something this wacko be a #1 hit.

agreed, and not many of them depend so heavily on their string arrangements as this one does.

BOS #4 the Mustang, and #5 the Stones.


I was at a red light behind a brand new Mustang last week, with custom plates letting me know that this was Stacy's GT.  But what was funny the licens plate frame which read:

I know, I know,

License & Registration

So which is worse, a 'toothless biddy hag' or a 'slack-hearted mama with a face like a gent'?

Oh, I disagree: It would have been as big in 1973-74.

Borderline Katrina status beyond the realm of 'what.'

"Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man"

Top 40db has it as "bearded", but biddy works for me too.

BOS Johnnie Taylor, the Natch'l Wailer!

God I hate W!

But the "Continuing Saga of Bungalow Bill" is such a nice end to this set.  Dang me if this isn't one of Bob's best.

Speaking of W, have you been reading Doonesbury this week?  If not go back & do so.  Brilliant stuff.

I never knew that was Yoko -- I figured it was Ringo doing an old lady's voice!

That was Set of the Week, so far.

and tomorrow (if the Thursday stream cooperates): '72.
