HM to "How Long," even if I don't quite know what "fancy persuasions" are.

I can think of a few, especially if they are 'part of a scheme'.

I seem to recall reading that the song is not about a (love) relationship breaking up via unfaithfulness (as widely assumed) but that it was a member of the band castigating the others for something-or-other. So your guess about "fancy persuasions" is as good as anyone's.

iirc, "Thunder Road" merits a proxy BOS for Beej.

OMG! BOS to my fave little-played FMac tune, "Blue Letter" -- I've said before that Ms Ronstadt shoulda covered this one.

You know, back inthe day I thought the was a song about a cheatin' lover, but after awhile that changed & for many years now I've assumed this to be about a backstage conspiracy, a la Brutus & Julius Caesar.

Oooh, BOS F Mac, a B-N twin-spin of sorts, right?

I'll give you a 'Spot On' for that one.  Agree on both the 'fave little-played FMac tune' bit & the 'Ronstadt shoulda covered this' bit.

BOS2 Dylan, nice to hear something other than "Tangled Up in Blue" for a change!

The song was written about the band's drummer, who'd bailed on them to join another band a few weeks prior.

I've never heard this Dylan, believe it or not.

BOS Dylan, "You're A Big Girl Now".  One of the ten best LP's of All Time on many lists, including my own.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast.  What a shame what we shared can't last.


Why in The HELL doesn't Dave hit Blood On The Tracks more often????????

Indeed. Another of the unfathomable mysteries surrounding the enigma that is Morey. An LP that literally EVERY track got FM airplay at the time.

From Gorillas to Whales.  All we need now is "Wildfire" or "Mr Jaws" for an animal trifecta!

Damn, I'd forgotten about this Jeff Beck cover of "She's a Woman"!  BOS3!

VHM, Beck's She's a Woman. Nice tune, but not the best on the album, imo.

Hey, the last two days I haven't been subjected to an ad from the Boulder Ford dealer, or Gargantuan Homes, or the local Baptist offshoot when I click the "listen now" link--just straight into the stream! Nice!

Had to take a 15-min phone call & almost got off in time for the movie clip.  That was most certainly John Houseman, but what was the flick?  Something about 'use the program to announce your retirement'?

Great little guitar solo (Don Felder, iirc) embedded in a screachy, otherwise forgetable, song.

Least necessary of set: One of These Nights.

Wish I'd heard the Springsteen or the Dylan instead. Grrr.

Was that John Houseman in that movie clip earlier? Took me a second to remember his name--all I could think of was "the guy from the Smith-Barney ad."

ETA: I see Mark has indeed confirmed that to have been Houseman. No idea what the film was.

Dang, totally forgot that Houseman was the personification of Corporate Evil in that flick.

And the president's daughter who had a writing credit on One of These Nights?

Patti Davis, offspring of Ron & Nancy, who was canoodling with Bernie Leadon at the time that album was recorded.

I remember an exchange involving her in which someone (can't recall who, alas--Mike, a little help?) observed, "You've got a nice ass for the president's daughter." She shot back, "I had a nice ass before I was the president's daughter."
