Off to a nice start with Joe Cocker's take on "The Letter."

"Zee mad dogs... zee englishmen... et Zho co-KAIR!"

lotta great stuff on this album that doesn't get played any more, especially Bonnie Bramlett's "That's What My Man is For."

Our IT department changed our server time, and now it seems to be about 5 minutes slow.  So I keep missing the beginning of sets.  HM, van the man.

Ah, Bonnie Bramlett.  Who else is so obscure yet can claim being known for such a wide array of things:

1. her work with Delaney, Cocker et al
2. being off-rhymed with "mushroom omelet" in "Life Is a Rock"
3. punching Elvis Costello in the snout after he called Ray Charles a "nigger"
4. acting in "Roseanne"

"I want you to hold it between your knees."

Right up there with Jack's best moments ever.  In fact, that line might be my favorite, even more than his hamming up "The Shining."

Oh, and WOS to "Travelin' Band."

Agreed on "Five Easy Peices," but there's nothing wrong with CCR.

See Geoff's comments yesterday :roll:

I can't think of a more consistently good (and well-loved) run of singles -- all of them big hits -- than CCRs from '69 to '71.

VHM "Roadhouse Blues". Proxy BOS for mshray to "Cecilia"

Ooh!  BOS to Crabby Appleton's "Go Back," sounding a lot more modern than most of 1970's output.

OMGWTFLOL!!

On this we can agree -- very Raspberries-ish before there were Raspberries. A great single.

Hey, I like a *lot* of those songs.  It's just "Travelin' Band" that grates on me.  I hate the line about the state militia and those kinds of '50s-reminiscent sax lines just don't do anything for me.

Preposterous lyrics but hey it was 1970. VHM Burton & the boyz.

extra-special VHM Badfinger -- last nite I saw the commercial for the Def Leppard anthology -- their new single is a remake of "No Matter What". That's just wrong.

I'd completely forgotten that Crabby Appleton was a cartoon character on Captain Kangaroo. Probably because I almost never watched the good Captain.
