BOS('6)3: The big O, "In Dreams" Damn this is good so far

OTOH, coulda done without "Leader of the Pack"... (my '64 request was Dean Martin, in the hopes that a nice Eye-talian girl like AL wouldn't be able to resist).

BOS4 Byrds -- how fresh this sound was in 1965 cannot be overstated.

I probably never need to hear "The Beat Goes On" again until I'm 75. 'lectrically we keep our BOS score.

I'm loving this one.  It's got some well-worn classics, but it started off in such a fine way that I'm feeling them all.

re: Sonny & Cher, "The grocery store's the supermart, uh huh" is a great line.  says a lot about the nation's post war development, and urban sprawl in particular.

Perhaps I'm thinking about that sort of thing b/c the Transbay Terminal is now closed for good (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/08/06/MN9R1EOVTG.DTL).  The last bus left early Saturday morning.  It's not that I liked the building that much - it was dismal, urine-stained, not-so-great-architecturally designed -- but after WWII American got into their cars and started driving everywhere.  We had to: The trains no longer went to where we lived/worked!  The Terminal changed from a train terminal to a bus top within 20 years after it opened in 1939.

anyway, BOS to Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, The Pelvis, Sonny & Cher .. the whole lot, WTF.
