well, uh. it's too early to vote. but i'm bookishly grooving to the dan.

BOS = the Dan
"Luckless pedestrians" = one of the best 2 word lyrics in all of rock history.

I like the way the say "Or-re-gone"

Lot of easterners pronounce it like that.

You read my mind! that always sticks out whenever I hear this song. Have no idea what it has to do with the rest of the lyric, but still...
-
Oh, god. Fucking 1963 again.
-
HM "Oh, What a Night". I think I had the 45.
ETA: Sorry, Gaz. I'm going by nostalgia only. Not for '63 (not born yet), but for '76.
-
Oh, god. Fucking 1963 again.
that's fucking IN 1963 again.

HM "Oh, What a Night". I think I had the 45.
i keep expecting them to start singing,
"our love is like a ship on the ocean..."
during the bridge.
uh-oh. whoops. that's going to be stuck in someone's head for the rest of the day.
-
BOS Tooobs!
"the smell of burning leather..." Yeah, baby!
-
uh-oh. whoops. that's going to be stuck in someone's head for the rest of the day.
LOL! Well, I'd like to know where you got that notion!

And speaking of retro tributes, here's today's BOS (by popular vote): Don't Touch Me There.
Was that Super Hit #6?

You don't? The narative is told in the PoV of a sniper (a la Charles Whitman on the University of Texas clock tower).
Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrians
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything
Chorus:
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am
Chorus:
-
Mushmouth Mick takes up space on this riff in search of a point. The Drugs Don't Work.

LGA's a lot smaller and thus a lot easier to deal with. It's a nuisance to get from either to Manhattan if you're taking public transportation -- http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/maps/submap.htm has the deets.

LaGuardia is closer if you're gonna take cab or bus; JFK has The Train to the Plane (I think) and that goes into Manhattan. I used LaG in Nov.

speaking of, I wish Dave would play Elton's "Ticking" (from Caribou) in some future '74 set.

LGA is closer to Manhattan than JFK, but every time I'm going to NYC, it seems like the cheaper flights at the more convenient times are into and out of JFK. JFK is about a $45 cab fare to Manhattan (I think it's a flat rate deal.) Or Supershuttle is about $20. Busses/trains are even less.

Before y'all trash it, Favorite guilty pleasure of set, "Dust in the Wind."

sorry, Dave -- "Dust in the Wind" is from '78, no?

thanks. i took the bus into town from jfk last year for $1.25. i think that's a good deal. though, i'm sure i could find a bus from lga, too. i'll save my cab fare for getting around IN the city when my high heels become obnoxious.
-

i was thinking that, too.

Caution with SuperShuttle, though: they invariably stop at 4 to 6 other destinations before stopping at yours, resulting in a 1.5-2 hour odyssey through Manhattan. Depending on how much gear you're packing, might be worth the extra bucks for the cab. At least robbery there is on a one-to-one basis.

According to my hit singles book, it charted on 4/78. Don't know when it was released.

Indeed, a good point. I think my cab fare from LGA to Chelsea on a rainy weeknight at rush hour was 35 bucks.

now tell me about that redgrave clip!! inquiring embryos want to know!
She was always very political, and she was being burned in effigy outside the hall at the time. Paddy Chaevsky is the one who dissed her afterwards.

I knew this set needed some Tina. But she didn't release anything that year :wink:

WOS, BCR

Y'know what would have kicked ass? The Sweet's "A Piece of the Action".

now tell me about that redgrave clip!! inquiring embryos want to know!
Vanessa Redgrave was nominated for Supporting Actress in Julia, (and Jason Robards, who won for Supporting Actor, was up against Maximillian Schell from the same film*) but she had also produced a documentary on the plight of the Palestinians that year & was widely picketed, said pickets primarily organized by the JDL.
What she said that got booed out was the following: "...a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums whose behavior is an insult tothe stature of Jews all over the world and their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism & oppression. I salute you and pledge to you that I will continue tofight against anti-Semitism and fascism."
The rebuttal came from Paddy Chayevsky, who was presenting the Orginal & Adapted Screenplay Awards.

The late Mr Chayevsky was a hero to many -- he wrote Marty and Network among many other works.

so where to now St Peter? I'm SmoothFM-ing today.
ooo! Barry White's "Just The Way You Are".

imdb says that was in 1977, not '76.
wassup, dave?

i'm dutching for a bit. then i'll head over. although i brought aja today, so i may take a detour.

*Jason Robards also beat out Alec Guinness for Star Wars, the only acting nom given to anyone from the Star Wars series. John Williams won for Original Score, though.
Woody Allen (Annie Hall) beat out George Lucas for Best Director & for Original Screenplay, and ironically, after Chavefsky sadi what he said, he had to present the Adapted Scrrenplay award to Julia. Earlier Jane Fonda, who was the lead in Julia, had lost the Best Actress award to Dianne Keaton.
Also of note: this was the year that "You Light Up My Life" won for Best Song. The absolute nadir of this Oscar.
And Richard Dreyfuss became the first guy under the age of 30 to receive the Best Actor award (he was 29).

indeed, Dave got his Oscar clip wrong today too. Redgrave won the 1977 Oscar, presented in spring '78. Something must be going on with Mr Morey, methinks.

Correct as usual.
I was looking in my Oscars book & momentarily forgot that the 1977 entry was for the movie release year, and not the year of the award show.
Point of Know Return was released late in '77, the title track entering the charts on 12/18 of that year. "Dust" entered the charts on 2/18/78.
quite the innacuracy from Mr. Morey, I must say.
