Aside: Saw "The Wrecking Crew" doc last weekend, in which Leon is featured prominently, both in current-day interviews and photos from back in the day (before he had all the facial hair). Great film -- if you haven't seen it yet, you should. (And this song gets a BOS from me as well.)
Let's get right to it.

the 'oo -- OK, I'll give "The Seeker" a BOS2. But we've been spoiled by multiple bustouts this week so I'm a tad disappointed.

ETA: It looks like the Leon Russell mighta been a bustout, amazingly.

Did the stream just suddenly give out?
Never mind. Back again.

Yep, it happened here too. I had to disconnect and reconnect to restore the audio.

Oh, KFOG... only 33, and apparently too old to rock and roll.

I acknowledge that it takes a certain kind of skill to produce set after set of ten
songs that skew heavily towards pop, contain few if any bust-outs, and yet are
largely composed of tracks that have seen relatively few spins.  I just wish that
skill wasn't exercised so frequently, particularly on the '60s sets (and I regard
1970 and 1971 as musically more a part of the '60s than the '70s.)

I mean, when Norman Greenbaum's Spirit In the Sky is one of the rockingest
songs of the set...
