Is Long Train Runnin' #2? I just tuned in--cow orker interruption---grrr.
-
damn, that segue -- "I'm Doin' Fine" into "Long Train Runnin'" -- is the Summer of '73 writ large, for me... the only thing missing is Gilbert O's "Get Down".
-
BOS2 Martha Mitchell -- can't WAIT to see Streep do that monologue in the movie. That'll win her another Oscar, for sure.
-
BOS for Time, even though we've heard it a million times. It's just an amazing record.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. BOS3 PF.

BOS4 "Bloo Collah"
I've never understood, tho' --- is he caiming to BE blue collar, or is is addressing a blue collar guy who (he thinks) just can't fathom what it's like to be a creative artistic type? if the latter, that's pretty obnoxious.

That was exactly the line I was going to quote--one of the more insightful descriptions of the state of Being British. Stiff upper lip and all that.

If you read Get Fuzzy in the comics page, they've been dealing with the incomprehensibility of British slang--cockney and otherwise--to Americans.

She was black as the night
Stories were whiter than white
And I still say Janis Ian adressed the problem far more impressively in 1967.

"There's a set goin' strong, lots o' things goin on..."
No kidding, Curtis. BOS Superfly.

Was this still on the charts in early '73? I think of this as a '72 song but it could be an overlapper. But I'll BOS5 anyway.

Thank heavens for cow orkers who actually know enough to keep their traps shut when it's clearly a pointless waste-of-time meeting, back out in time for the tail end of Mr. Mayfield.

I associate it with the fall of 72, but I suppose it could have lingered into 73.
From AMG:
Selling over a million copies as the follow-up to the gold single "Freddie's Dead," "Superfly" went gold, peaking at number five R&B and number eight pop in late 1972. The Superfly LP went gold, topping the R&B charts for six weeks and the pop chart for four weeks. A tidbit for movie buffs.

I never quite understood the lyrics to Kodachrome ... but still loved it anyway.

TANC: "Society's Child (Baby I've Been Thinking)" was one of the songs I was listening to while strolling Boston's Back Bay Thursday afternoon. I had a compilation of 1967-1969 pop songs, many of which had some sort of baroque/harpsichordy constructions ("Love Is Blue," etc.).
PS: Geoff, thanks for deleting the spambot post from yesterday. I know I get paranoid and impatient about that stuff but I've seen how such invasions can utterly ruin message boards. Your work remains greatly appreciated.
