Mon 11/28/11: 1971

a fine way to start the week.

Badfinger have special love for Dixie, dear.

yeesh, TYA complaining again -- a rock band grousing about "freaks and hairies" is like a bunch of drag queens bitching about people who wear make-up.

actually, it *hasn't* been a long time since I rock'n'rolled. But BOS1 Zep just the same.

BOS2 Brewer & Shipley over the line


EJ, merry music man, needs a seamstress for the band.

Poor Ringo, he can't come easily, apparently. Old age is a bitch.

BOS3 Woody and Howard Cosell in the trailer for Bananas

anybody wanna buy a brate? Rare Earth are selling one.

BOS4 the 'oo -- ah call that a "Bargain".

TANC and proxy of sundaygal: Rod's on the ferry, feeling up Mary. Storied donuts, indeed!

Wed 11/30/11: 1975

VHM BadCo, "Shooting Star".

I've reached my limit on "Take it to the Limit"

NOOOOOOO! Rush's "Fly By Night" is one of their least-annoying songs but it's still a WOS.

Bob goes seasonal again with Broooooce's "Santa Claus". VHM just because.

Bob must be thinking of George: Zep's "10 Years Gone" is BOS1.  Now he needs to actually play Mr Harrison.

Yet another Beatle reference: Sugarloaf, "Don't Call Us..."

never again list: "Killer Queen". Dude... she's a DUDE!

Bob always plays Gary Wright's '76 hits in '75.

"it's hard to make believe you're happy when you're gay" -- best mondegreen of set.

Bad Company - Shooting Star 
Eagles - Take It To the Limit 
Rush - Fly By Night 
Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Comin' to Town 
Fleetwood Mac - Over My Head 
Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone 
Sugarload - Don't Call Us, We'll Call You 
Queen - Killer Queen   
Gary Wright - Love is Alive 
Four Seasons - Who Loves You

Thur 12/1/11: 1988

Oy vey. Bob in '88 can't be a good thing.

REM to start.

"I'll be there for you... when you breathe, I wanna be the air for you" -- WOS Bon Jovi.

From unbearable to unnecessary: Winwood rolls with it.

VM VH, "Feels So Good", minor tho' it is.

Even more unnecessary: the Wilburys. Sheesh.

I can't tell if this instrumental is SRV, Satriani, Eric Johnson or Gary Moore.

The Money Man walks on wah-dah!

Every set has its WOS2: Poison. Yeesh.

U2 get a VHM for the Rattle & Hum incarnation of "God Pt 2"

WOS3 Crapton, turning"After Midnight" into a beer commercial.

REM - Orange Crush 
Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You 
Steve Winwood - Roll With It 
Van Halen - Feels So Good 
Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care 
Joe Satriani - The Crush of Love 
Eddie Money - Walk on Water 
Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn 
U2 - God, Pt. 2 
Eric Clapton - After Midnight ('88)

Fri 12/2/11: 1970!

CSNY put us to sleep for starters. 2 cats in the yard and zzzzzzzzzzzz.

But Neil wakes us up: BOS1 "Southern Man". CCR stops the rain.

BOS2 the Dave Mason version of "Only You Know & I Know", y'know?

the song of the Puerto Rican Jew: "Oy Vey Como Va".

I'd've preferred anything other than "My Sweet Lord" from All Things Must Pass this morning.

good gawd y'all: what Mr Starr is good for.

Why do we never get an answer? BOS3 Moodies.

proxy of Dave Morey: "Mystery Date" commercial

DUUUUUDE! BOS4 Sabbath, "Paranoid".

VHM the Guess Who for not being Lenny Kravitz.
