I can't believe I'm already in the office.  I've been so slow this summer.

Eric Clapton  "The Core?"

Yep.

But I don't recall--is the female vocalist Marcella Detroit or Whinyface Elliman? POC would shoot me, I'm sure.

ETA: and if I'd only waited a few seconds, my question would have been answered. Thanks, Mike.

Hey, everybody! Hope you had a great weekend.

Alas, I'm in the throes of report-writing right now. So, please forgive me if I don't post my usual barrage of drivel today.

Which, actually, may be a GOOD thing, no?  :D

How competitive!  You think your drivel is more drively than our drivel?

Listening and discretely (sp?) lurking. Glad it's a 70's day. Since Friday is a replay I think, I'm making a birthday request for a 1969-1979 set.

Had a coworker come up to ask me something at the end of The Core & tuned in during Give A Little Bit. What'd I miss?

BOS Sleepwalker!!! Doesn't rank with Village Green or Muswell Hillbillies but a Kinks fave nonetheless.

inevitable in a 1977 set I guess.  KSAN swooned for punk back then.  The beginning of the end!

Think that might have been vinyl--could swear I was hearing "warmth" and it seemed a bit longer than the version I'm used to.

there is definitely more than one version of GSTQ... Dave plays that one more often than the one I was familiar with back in the day.

off we go... with Klaatu! I'd prefer "Sub-Rosa Subway", tho'.

That's why I called it inevitable.  Punk certainly didn't save rock, but was a logical progression in the big spiral staircase of time.  God Save the Queen was cute, just like Nirvana's first big hit, but not truly great.  I realize of course that puts me outside of the Mainstream Media of Rock, but hey, I'm used to it!

well "saved" was hyperbole, but it was certainly a welcome bit of back-to-basics that was sorely needed in the age of Boston & Kansas & Foreigner (or "corporate rock" as it came to be known).

Understood, it's just that punk mushroomed so quick into a lifestyle/fashion/fad sort of thing, it looks almost 30 years later like so many other quirks in the road.

Not to mention disco. Nowadays it's looked upon a bit more kindly, but at the time disco was seen as the death of rock & roll. (Not that Boston or any of the other bands you cited were much better--far too calculated to have much to to with r&r.)

I thinks much of the 'disco sucks' mentality was based on racism at the time.

Indeed, and dissertations can be (and have been) written on those warring factions.  The difference (to oversimplify a bit) is that the punk folks were anarchistic-to-lefty and they saw bloated "prog rock" as an evil tool of corporate record companies.  Not that some of these people didn't hate disco too, but the "disco sucks" movement was primarily a product of young white males who tended to be both racist and homophobic.

I was watching Guffman last nite and just HAD to find a pic of Corky St Clair.  Corky doing dinner theater as Prof. 'iggins, with the Parker Posey character as Eliza -- that's a sequel I'd like to see.
