Wow, I'm actually here for the main set in real time with y'alls!
Edited the year because despite being a music critic I cannot hear.
-
PS: BOS to Stevie's "As," which I always want to call "Always" until I remember he already had another song with that title, and probably the longest refrain in pop history (Andy Gibb's "Everlasting Love" running second, I imagine).
-
A very strong start with Stevie Wonder's "As". Hi, Gaz!
-
Catch up with this one on the PM side, I will.
-
Was there a method to the madness of his switching to his Cookie Monster vocal for that bridge?
-
OMFG! BOS2 lose your mind in Detroit! Rock City!
-
Anyone notice that we last visited 1977 a mere nine days ago? That may be a record for two sets of the same year.

Oopsie! Sorry!

Didn't he just say "1976"?

Thanks -- I just sent Dave a "Twice in 9 days???" email....

I really liked this album in college. Less so now, but Squonk is one of the best from "Trick of the Tail". I can't really listen to "A Trick of the Tail", the song, anymore without grimacing.
-
Had a 60-second chat with Dave on the merits (or utter lack thereof) of the Rod Stewart lyric. Sez I, "so if she's a virgin, and her inhibitions are running wild, I don't think he's gettin' any. Do you?" He agreed that this was probably so.
-
Have you ever seen a "Squonk"'s jeers? Well . . . I have.
-
BOS3 to the lovely and talented Maxine Nightingale (also one of my favorite names!).

BOS2 Maxine N!
-
Anyone know of any other songs where the handclaps Do Not Quit for pretty much the entire duration of the song?
-

Was just about to say I was digging the bari sax part on that tune--and then we get PTFM,WB, which also has a prominent bari part. It's a baritone-sax twin spin! (Well, sorta....)

from good disco to, er, barely tolerable disco in one fell swoop.
"I tried to understand this... I thought that Dave was outta his mind"

Maybe I'm the only one who thinls "Play That Funky Music" is a gimmicky and inferior "Thank U," but . . . WOS.

I remember clearly one day after church, one of the kids from our congregation explaining to me in detail & with certain glee, just how each verse of "Walk This Way" was about sex. Which until then I, as a shy 13-year-old, had no idea about.

There are 59, according to the Boomtang Boys:
Boomtang Boys, "59 Ways to Funk"
Turn the bass up high turn the lights down low
Party people in the place know it’s time to go
But there’s one more thing that you’ve got to know
Gonna party all night till we lose control
Turn the bass up high turn the lights down low
Party people in the place know it’s time to go
But there’s one more thing that you’ve got to know
Gonna party all night till we lose control
If you knew what’s on my mind
We’d be funkin’ all the time baby
Once I get you on the floor
You’ll be callin’ out for more tonight
Cause there ain’t no party
Like a Boomtang party, that’s right
Everybody scream and shout
Gonna turn this mutha out tonight
Chorus:
I’ve got 59 ways to move ya
59 ways to get through to ya
And only one chance to lose ya…
Never know just what you’ll find
When I open up your mind baby
Gonna slip inside your veins
Put the funk into your brain tonight
Put your hands in the sky
Gonna get you so high - come on
When I hit ya with the sound
You ain’t never coming down tonight
Chorus:
I’ve got 59 ways to move ya
59 ways to get through to ya
And only one chance to lose ya…
We’ll go round and round… (x4)
Turn the bass up high turn the lights down low
Party people in the place know it’s time to go
But there’s one more thing that you’ve got to know
Gonna party all night till we lose control
Turn the bass up high turn the lights down low
Party people in the place know it’s time to go
But there’s one more thing that you’ve got to know
Gonna party all night till we lose control

BOS3 The Royal Dan-Scam.

Yeah, I actually noticed the bari part on PTFM today. Funny how you listen for particular things, especially when you've heard the song a billion times.
BOS for The Royal Scam -- a breath of fresh air after Aerosmith's smut (not that there's anything wrong with that).
-
BOS4 to the Dan, "Royal Scam," which most assuredly applies to the Nuyoricans I worked with while under the employment of Lucifer a/k/a the BMMB. This should be required listening for any NYer.

What's this about anyway? I'm not picking up the timeframe.
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John
Without a dime
Wearing coats that shined
Both red and green
Colors from their sunny island
From their boats of iron
They looked upon the promised land
Where surely life was sweet
On the rising tide
To New York City
Did they ride into the street
See the glory
Of the royal scam
They are hounded down
To the bottom of a bad town
Amid the ruins
Where they learn to fear
An angry race of fallen kings
Their dark companions
While the memory of
Their southern sky was clouded by
A savage winter
Every patron saint
Hung on the wall, shared the room
With twenty sinners
See the glory
Of the royal scam
By the blackened wall
He does it all
He thinks he's died and gone to heaven
Now the tale is told
By the old man back home
He reads the letter
How they are paid in gold
Just to babble in the back room
All night and waste their time
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John without a dime
See the glory
Of the royal scam
-
stupid %$&! phone call. What was BOS?
-
What's this about anyway? I'm not picking up the timeframe.
I don't lock it into a timeframe; it seems to me the entire history of Puerto Rican immigrants to NYC, who are sold a bill of goods about the opportunities in the city then wind up in overcrowded and dingy apartments while institutional racism and classism prevent their ever realizing the American Dream. Took me years to realize that "St. John" = "San Juan."
-
I miss the days when I had time to play with y'all...
BOS, Stevie.

I'm thinking Carribbean immigrants to NYC, but I didn't really have a specific period in mind.

I didn't until just now. Thanks for the insight. I'm playing in the pit for "West Side Story" now, so San Juan is high in my consciousness.

Well then it took me even more years...
I always figgered they were European immigrants who for some reason had a layover in New Brunswick, but then I couldn't reconcile the 'southern sky' reference. Thanks for correcting that.

Which stand-up comedienne was it who said that West Side Story was her favorite Science Fiction movie? 'Cause the main character goes running down a street of Spanish Harlem yelling "Maria! Maria!" and only *one* window opens up & only *one* girl answers him.

Think it has something to do with Puerto Rican immigrants in NY.
ETA: I see that as usual, I'm a day late and a dollar short on that.

I really think it was Chris Rock, actually. Or maybe Chappelle. I fainlty remember seeing this on TV a few years ago.

I was in a gay bar once and this guy (an ex-dancer) was talking about the time he did WSS in a road show, and of course all the dancers who played the Sharks and the Jets were gay -- and fuh-LAME-ing! "We were the nelliest street gangs in history!"
