first, the TANC thread:
I have been reading a biography of Barbara Jordan, and did not really experience her famous speeches, as I didn't watch too much TV around that time. Her remarks about the impeachment apparently won her national acclaim, and catapulted this very junior congresswoman to fame. I read that her keynote speech at the 1976 Democratic convention was also quite historic, and I thought about asking Dave to play some clips from it (still a good idea). Then, this morning I dropped my daughter off at work, and as I was parking the car, this very elegant voice is talking about the Constitution, cutting back and forth with Nixon snippets. I assume this was Barbara Jordan!
Roxy Music
Whenever I hear this song, I'm in the lab at Ford Aerospace, and the radio is over by the East wall, and "Out of the Blue" is playing, with the big phasing sound, killer bass licks, and the (soprano?) sax lines.
The Lamb lies down
I never liked this, but in today's revisionist history, this is a classic! That's not really fair of me; people thought it was a classic back then too.
