Thanks Susan! (the Foghead who turned 50 today)
Today is also my Dad's 71'st. Happy B-day, Dad!

"Gavel" still makes perfect contextual sense to me.

Hayy B-Day, DadShray!
"Youth and truth are making love, dig it for a starter /
Dying young is hard to take, selling out is harder."
That line was awkward to hear when I saw them live in December.

Dave Edmunds was at #4 with this on this weekend's Kasem Kountdown.
-
ahh, Dave Edmunds' "I Hear You Knockin'"

Oh, absolutely -- I thought it was that for years, I thought the song was about a guy standing before a judge, narrating his life story.
uh-oh, a GazWOS: VHM DaveEdmunds, paying tribute to '50s rock -- that nostalgia train was just getting ready to leave the station in '71 and it would chug along for most of the '70s.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie, the long version

OK, I really only need to hear "American Pie" one a year, tops.

"American Pie" confirms that opinion.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie, the long version
I remember getting my literary criticism class all atwitter discussing this current song during my abortive attempt at college re-entry at Berkeley back then!

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died...
-
Bye Bye Miss American Pie, the long version
Welcome back Geoff!
I'll always remember driving back to St. Louis from spending New Year's in Chicago circa 1987 with my brother Chris, in our old 1968 Chevy Biscayne with a broken radio, him and me singing this song for probably an hour before we figured we had remembered all the lyrics.

A remarkably detailed (if sometimes literal-minded) illustration/exegesis of "American Pie" (orig posted in the "You Tube" thread a few weeks ago):

Ah yes, Do It AGAIN!
-
It's a clean sweep for the Dan!
-
Do It Again is 72!
[the above rant is a Katrina in itself!]
-
Ah yes, Do It AGAIN!
It's a Steely Dan clean sweep -- all 4 sets today.

[the above rant is a Katrina in itself!]
but the single was charted in Feb '73 (when most folks remember it). And my reply is a Katrina too, I reckon!

Dave shore does love them spiders and snakes!

Do watcha wanna do ...

re: Spiders and Snakes
when I was working in the PO at Rincon Annex, I had a Chevy with only an AM radio. Perhaps my last continuous exposure to pop radio.
-

well, "snakes", anyway ;)
-
betcha the 1975 track is either Labelle or ELO.
-
GRAND FUNK (I thought this was in 74?)
-
yikes, was GFR the best/most representative chart single from '75 we could've gotten?
-
betcha the 1975 track is either Labelle or ELO.
if only!
ETA: well, one song late...
-

we knew ELO had to appear in the set somewhere!
-
will we hear a disco hit from 77, 78, 79?? ???

did a sort of the Db and was looking at past sets from around this time of year, "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" & "Lady Marmalade" were early March entries in the past for 1975. Was going to predict "Dreamweaver" for '76, but glad I hesitated!
Manfred Mann was a slam dunk for 1977, it has appeared in VT's thrice already, airing between Jan 21 & Mar 4
-
little Early Pearly came by in his Curly Whirly -- Bruce was smokin' some serious shit when he wrote this one.
-

"Night Fever" is a real possibility, played once in a March 4th VT
ETA: hope it isn't Queen, "We Are The Champions", which has appeared in Feb 5th and Jan 21st VT sets of the past.

Wrapped up like a douche??
Mama always told me not to look into
The eyes of the sun
But mama that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone
Anticyclone rolling stone
Preacher from the east
Says dethrone the dictaphone
Hit it in it's funnybone
That's where they expect it least
And some new mown chaperone
Was standing in the corner
Watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sewn moonstone
Was messin' with his frozen zone
Reminding him of romance

indeed -- as is Yvonne Elliman.
-

now, now, we all know it's "revved up like a deuce". Tho' the Summer's Eve folks did want to use it for a commercial ;)

well, it's the Bee Gees, anyway...

BOS BeeGees.
You just can't go too wrong in the 70's.

Remarkable prognostications today! So we'll finish in '79 with ... ? I'll go left-field and say Ian Gomm.
-
MUCH further left field! There's no Need. To. Be. Un. Hap. Py.

OMFG! almost as left-field: "YMCA", which Dave doesn't play very often, actually.

VHM Village People. This is always fun.

indeed, the shraytabase sez it's a bustout! I'd swear Dave's played it at least once, tho' it musta been a while ago. Bob's played it more often than Dave!

It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A...

I second that emoticon. :D

I'n sticking around for the bonus, which should be from 1980 -- it better be something other than "Call Me", which Renee played at 5:45 this morning and thus began my day.

well, Annalisa violates the spirit of the thing by offering album tracks rather than chart hits, but I won't bitch about hearing Pete's "And I Moved".

likewise. And in what seems to be the soonest ever promo to tip the following day's set, we learn that tomorrow we're going to 1980.
