Assume that means Rosalie is doing middays for the rest of the week, then.

If anyone is curious to see what's next, this set first aired on August 20. (I didn't peek--just saw enough to ID that this was that set and closed the page.)

Pagey, or so I have been told.

Roly-poly, roly-poly, roly-poly is sad.

But BOS to Kenny Rogers, gettin' psychedelic and checking on his condition's condition. Wonder if he was tripping with that bitch Lucille?

Agree fully, although I have heard Howard and/or Mark claim that this is just Happy Together turned sideways.

A sublime bit of soul, 'Retha's take on "I Say A Little Prayer"--Dionne's version is great, but this one does it for me. BOSwhatever.

I've said this before, but I can't think of another artist who did so many covers -- often within a year or so of the original -- and made them her own. 

BOS5 Beatles (yay), one of my fave ballads evah.

The Isley Bros. are the only ones who come close.

The song was used well (if asynchronously) in Pirate Radio.  Yes, "Elenore" was their self-acknowledged smartass way of writing "another Happy Together" to keep the label happy.  But it's a marvy song no matter its motivations.
