Wed 6/27/12: 1975

BOS1 Zep, "Kashmir"

BOS2 the Dan, on Biscayne Bay, where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day.

"Jackie Blue", from the album Past Tense -- that joke never gets old.

uber-uber-LN: "Killer Queen". Ditto F.Mac's "Landslide"

I'm all for cheeze but WOS Styx, "Light Up":

Every day's a holiday when your lips meet mine
The music's keepin' time with our love
You are here, and so am i
The weather's quite divine
So pass me round your wine, lovely one...


uh, seriously? sheesh.

Elton's "knee-high to a man" again. That joke never gets old either. But "Philly Freedom" is also pretty LN at this point.

HM The 'oo and their much-maligned "Squeeze Box", just because.

You can't hide! You're lionized!. LN3 Iggles.

BOS3 Leo Sayer's even-more-maligned "Long Tall Glasses" -- never understood the hate for that one.

Led Zeppelin    Kashmir    25.6%
Steely Dan    Doctor Wu   10.5%
Ozark Mountain Daredevils   Jackie Blue   17.3%
Queen    Killer Queen    4.8%
Fleetwood Mac   Landslide    5.8%
Styx   Light Up   5.4%
Elton John   Philadelphia Freedom    4.8%
The Who   Squeeze Box   5.8%
Eagles    Lyin' Eyes   9.3%
Leo Sayer   Long Tall Glasses

Thur 6/28/12: 1971

Ringo don't come easy. Or so Barbara Bach used to say. She's such an "LA Woman".

uber-uber-LN: "Me 'n' Bobby McTrina"

Rod the Mod perpetuates Asian stereotypes ("slit-eyed lady"? seriously?) and feels up Mary on the Peking fairy, er, ferry.

LN too: "Day After Day", lovely a production as it may be.

BOS Jonathan Edwards, layin' 'round the "Shanty", mama.

VHM NGDB.

LN3: ch-ch-ch-changes.

BOS2 Tull.

Ringo Starr - It Don't Come Easy   
Doors - L.A. Woman   
Janis Joplin - Me & Bobby McGee 
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story   
Badfinger - Day After Day   
Jonathan Edwards - Shanty   
Santana - No One To Depend On   
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Mr. Bojangles 
David Bowie - Changes

Mick rides in on a fine Ah-rahb Chaaaaah-jaaaaah.

Ms Benatar gets one in the kisser. "One o' these days, Pat -- bang! zoom!" That's what she gets for hanging with "Rough Boys".

LN: Ozzy -- "Crazy Train" seems to be in half the commercials on the tube.

BOS "Switchin' to Glide", one "me and Zero" never tire of.
