Tuned in early and at 9:45 KFOG is playing The Cure "Let's Go To Bed". That's got to be quite the rarity for regular airtime.

OTOH, they played Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" for the billionth time in the same hour.

"It's the work that we avoid" - how many of us are going to show up to our workplaces today and tomorrow but mostly avoid doing any actual work? Not to mention getting in late & leaving early? I know I am.
-
all together now: "TODO DA BIEN CHEVROLET!"

See, mama, you unnnerstand that?
Tododavia en CHEVROLET!
(ETA: Or however you spell that.)

Paris, Beirut, Iraq, Iran...just think how much different the world was in the early 70's when those places were all interesting international travel destinations.

Big BOS for me. "Don't You Worry..." has added memories for me since we played it in the LSJUMB. I was music librarian when it needed to be rewritten; dittos wear out, doncha know? Anyway, Band songs are all given silly titles on the music, so I got to make up a few for this one, like "Donuts: You Worry About Eating (with beer)", a clever reference to the Band game day breakfast of beer and donuts. Well, maybe you had to be there.

I've got the inverse: I have to work my ass off today, then I have tomorrow and Thursday off, then Friday I have a long but easy day.

which leaves the way clear for Lamont Dozier's "Fish Ain't Bitin'", tho' I'm not holding my breath.

OMFG! BOS "Ride the Tiger"! Where's Gaz?

Weird news clip. I've never heard anything negative about Evel Knievel before. "That's barbarism!"

BOS Stevie.
BOS from me - an all-time favorite, and it fit perfectly with the Buddhist text I've been re-reading in an effort to clear my mind a bit (I put "Baby I've Been Thinking" on hiatus b/c I was thinking, and verging on saying, a lot of wrong and angry and almost evil things).
BOS2 to "Ride the Tiger," continuing in that Eastern vein.
-
Where's Gaz?!? He'd be wanting to hear this, methinks.
BOS Ride the Tiger.
(Nice segue, btw.)

Yeah, I have a ton of stuff to do today, and probably leaking into tomorrow. But we just got the word that the office is closing at 2pm tomorrow, and I am bailing then whether my sh*t is done or not. I may sleep for four days straight.

I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
I want to ride the tiger.
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to a chinese man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and
a woman.
I want to ride the tiger
I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you
We got something to learn from the other side
Something to give, we got nothing to hide
I want to ride the tiger.
Black wants out of the streets
Yellow wants the country
Red wants the country back
And white wants out of this world
Sing - sing to the sky
I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger.
Look to the summer of seventy-five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride the tiger?

There's a righteous anger, and then there's a destructive anger. I've been slipping toward the latter, and that ain't good.

they sing both, in 2 diff verses.

First time through, they sang "Chinese," and then when they repeated it, they changed to (ugh) "Oriental."

Hey, Gaz. My 9-year-old son told me the joke in your sig just the other day. We both think it's pretty darn funny.

The latter was just what they told interviewers to be on the safe side. You were right the first time.

I'm pretty sure that's what you're supposed to think. BOS for the Three Degrees -- somehow not preventing the song from making it into Strictly Instrumental sets.

Hey, Gaz. My 9-year-old son told me the joke in your sig just the other day. We both think it's pretty darn funny.
Try this one on him:
Q: Why do ducks have webbed feet?
A: To put out forest fires.
Q: Why do elephants have flat feet?
A: To put out flaming ducks.

I'll do that. He's a big fan of the old ultra violence.

WOS Muthaless Crapton. Yeah, if your mother is dead, you are indeed motherless.

right, that's always stuck out for me. My mother uses that word occasionally -- she's from a different era -- and I always try to gently correct her.

Well, yeah, but I'm a tad more concerned about my 11-year-old daughter on that score. I need to get myself something big, brown and sticky, and quick.

I can always count on you.

Dave's reached his limit on "Tim man", and so have I -- we've heard this several times this year, no?
-
Wow, BOS for some hard-rockin' Roxy Music. I don't think I've heard this song before.

Same here, but I don't listen to Clapton for the lyrics.

You're letting him read Anthony Burgess!?
ETA: "There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."
-

Bustout it is--before this, the only Roxy we'd heard in '74 is Out of The Blue. (We're hearing The Thrill of It All, for those scoring at home.)

WOS Muthaless Crapton. Yeah, if your mother is dead, you are indeed motherless.
Mike you really got to get over this one. It's a traditional folk song about a hundred years old. Clapton didn't write the lyrics.
-
And now a little advice for the upcoming holiday:
Be Thankful for What You Got.
Thanks, William. We will.
ETA: Not too bad a set, a couple of Ks notwithstanding.
ETA2: Wow, this set just keeps on going. I figured the William DeVaughn was tune no. 10.
-
Dave has a wet willie. EWWW.
-
Yeah baby, keep on smilin. Great set!
-
Not the smoothest transition there, dave. But I'll keep on smiling.
-
Dave has a wet willie. EWWW.
I was thinking it was a very tasteful ending with "Be Thankful..". I guess it's optimistic, anyway, but not as tasteful.

They were all born on their birthdays. ;D
More specifically, they are all April fools, born April 1 (obviously, I used that newfangled interweb-a-majig).
ETA: As I moved away from this I remembered that I had a nephew born on April 1, referred to in my family as "Baby James". Born without kidneys, he died April 1 as well, just after I arrived at the hospital. He held my finger. My father (also James) died later that month (the 22nd). It's odd how random things like this can trigger emotional moments -- pretty choked up right now. RIP, nephew and grandfather James.

LOL! -- I think I was ALSO born on my birthday, but I was pretty young at the time, so I can't remember.

Look to the summer of seventy-five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride the tiger?
Wasn't Craig Chaquico about 16 when they recorded this?
Craig was 16 when they did Sunfighter. I met him a couple of times back when he was in Steelwind, just before Dragonfly, just after Baron Von Tollbooth. He was a marvel at the time, a kid that could play so well, the other members of the band at time would just stand and stare during the song!

I saw them in NYC's Central Park that summer -- free concert sponsored by WNEW-FM on the Great Lawn -- but have little recollection of the show itself.

BOS4 Good Times -- not gettin' hassled/not gettin' hustled!
Just looked up who wrote and performed the Good Times theme. Was totally NOT what I expected. It was written by Dave Grusin (music) and Marilyn and Alan Bergman (lyrics), all of whom were big time pro songwriters, and performed by James Gilstrap and Blinky Williams, about whom I know nothing.

James (Jim) Gilstrap has been discussed here fairly recently. His hit "Swing Your Daddy" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92TzM9NabQY -- the video doesn't have much to do with him, but the song is there) was only a mid-charter in the US but a Top Ten single in the UK, and a big fave on CGSS. He's also the male voice at the beginning of Stevie's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life".
