This set is sending me over the moon. Possibly the best '76 set ever.
Let's get right to it.

I took my 3 year old son to Toy Boat Cafe for some ice cream yesterday.  We walked in and soon after he announced, "Hey, I know this song.  I LOVE this song!!!"  It was The KKK Took My Baby Away.  I don't know if I should be proud or horrified!

Oh. My. Effing. God. Flo & Eddie's comeback try, Keep It Warm, has to be one of the deepest tracks AL has ever pulled out. I don't think it charted very high if at all. Must look. Unquestionable BOS!

ETA: Love the artwork, there, Wayback!

WOW.  I had a crazy day at work and missed this conversation as well as this set; SO GLAD I caught it on the replay.  Best of Month to Flo & Eddie.

Alas, I missed the replay. But here's the lyrics to Keep It Warm if anyone wants to examine closer. Quite a few pointed political and social references.

Quote from: Flo & Eddie
"KEEP IT WARM"

Words and Music by
Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan

Write another song for the money
Something they can sing, not so funny
Money in the bank to keep us warm

Stick another grape in the juicer
Or fill your guts with grease and get get looser
You are what you eat , so eat it warm

Roll another joint for the Gipper
Get the Gipper high, he gets hipper
Stick it in his mouth and keep him warm

Elect another jerk to the White House
Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse
Take her off the streets and keep her warm

Fight another war if they make you
Squeal on a friend or they'll take you
The future's in your lap, so keep it warm...

   Warm, here in your arms
   Safe from all harm, where I belong
   Warm, cozy and calm, another
   Dawn together warm....

My woodie's broken down by the beach now
And TM's gotten far out of reach now
Tell the Mahareesh to keep it warm

George is suing Paul, suing Ringo
and immigration wants John and Yoko
All they need is love, to keep them warm

Kill another whale with your power
Or shoot a bunch a kids from a tower
Snipe them in there cars

Blood keeps them warm

Or

Make a better world from the old one
Make yourself a baby and hold one
Hold her in your arms and keep her warm,

Keep her warm, Keep her warm,
Keep her warm...........

   High concept Music, BMI

Note: This was released four years before Reagan was elected president.

While doing a little digging around to see what Flo & Eddie are up to these days, I just learned that, among the members of their east coast touring band (they have a separate band for the west coast--go figure) is Greg Hawkes, late of the Cars. Who knew?

And also learned that Mark Volman (aka Flo), when not being reliving past successes as a Turtle, is head of the Entertainment Studies program at Belmont University in Nashville.

I'm Facebook friends with Howard Kaylan. He lives in Seattle now, posts some interesting comments as well as memorabilia from their days in the Turtles, then with Zappa & the Mothers, then as Flo & Eddie, and when they had a radio gig in NYC.

sooooo sorry I missed that Flo & Eddie song -- I remember playing it on 'FUV, surely have not heard it since then. Amazing lyrics. Kudos AL and/or whoever requested it.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
