BOS 3DN, "B&W". I always thought it was rather ballsy to put this out at a time when school busing was a hot-button issue.  Imagine, say, Maroon 5 releasing a pro- gay marriage single.

I was just a kid then, and I always loved this song jsut because it sounded cool, kind of carnival like.

Seems that it's now considered rather trite, cuz you rarely hear it, except in the occasional Rob or Bob set.

VHM Allmans.

My neighbor has two daughters, Melissa & Jessica.  Always want to ask him if he was a big ABB fan back in the day.

VHM the guy announcing the passing of Truman who 'correctly' pronounced his home state as Mis-sou-ruh.  That's how Harry woulda said it.

until Ginger mentioned it last week, I'd never focused on the fact that "Happy" is sung by Keef.  Mick sings so many songs in differently affected voices that it never occurred to me to wonder about it.

BOS n+1.

great set so far.

Ooooh.  I need TV but I got T. Rex!  BOS n+2.
