Friday May 20-it's....a 1975 Soul Patrol!!!
« Reply #30 on: May 20, 2005, 11:09:46 AM »
OK, I'm tuning in tonight.  I am so sorry I missed this one -- a keeper fo sho.  Pedant alert: the actual, and totally ungrammatical, title is "They Just Can't Stop It The (Games People Play)."

To make it even more confusing, my copy of Billboard Top 40 Hits shows it as:

"They Just Can't Stop It" The (Games People Play)

making it one of very few hit singles with actual quotation marks in the title.  Which would force me, as a copy editor, to generate the sentence: Have you heard "'They Just Can't Stop It' The (Games People Play)"?

Oy vey mashish!

BOS Isleys! "Fight the Power", baby!


And while we're at it, let's fight the fundamentalist power that would tell us what we can't hear on the radio--uh-uh-uh indeed!

I just caught the edit on bull$h!t tonight. Never heard it this morning. That kinda ruins a song I love.

I just got home from the Giants/A's game; on the way from BART some guy on a streetcorner had a boombox and was blasting 10@10! Dave was just into "It Only Takes a Minute" right then. A communal radio moment!
