LOL!  I still remember Christgau reviewing the album in 1970 and calling BOG "a saga of wedding-night impotence" -- which had not occurred to me until then, but now it seems quite obvious

"and love me, like you tried before..."
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

GREAT book -- not just about him but about SF during that period. Fascinating stuff.

Listening to a 1970 replay makes me feel like it's a Friday nite!

Lovely Neil. Such a young voice.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Hahaha! I didn't really notice this on the replay last night, but CBS-FM is playing it right now, and damn, what a great old-fashioned true-stereo way to record a duet. The guy singer on the right, the girl on the left. Kudos to Tommy James.
