a great record, and I vividly remember hearing it on one of the NYC Top 40 stations in late '69 and thinking how odd it sounded in the middle of CCR, the Beatles, and "Sugar Sugar".   I'll have to work that into the novel somehow.

Closest to an LN so far: Steve Miller, "Space Cowboy", segued out of moon mission clip.

I was surprised to see that Dave never played this.  It's been spun a few times on 10@10 PM.

Somehow it seems normal to me, but I grew up listening to that mix and more... that's how it
was in the sixties for brief time, even on the Top 40 stations.  You would hear "traditional" singers
like Peggy Lee or Neil Diamond, pop, rock, motown, soul, a little psychedelia, the occasional
novelty record, other cross-genre hybrids (think Classical Gas), etc.  It was an incredibly
rich period of musical experimentation and cross-pollination, and it reached into nearly every
corner of American culture.

I found today's set to be pretty good -- one of the best '60s sets in many months.  That's partly
due to an inclination towards more rock despite a leisurely pop beginning.  This set also hit a
couple of my personal favorites and had some 10@10 rarities.  However once again there were
no bust outs, a situation that seems to become a perverse game as time goes on.

From December 5th's 1968 thread:

and the social comment continues!  Bless you, AL.   BOS3 Beatles, the LP version of "Revolution". Shoo-bee-doo, all right.

My thought when I read this, and again listening today, was that more songs than not from the
late '60s contained some kind of social comment.  It was a time when just about everybody
Had Something To Say.
