I heard "Maggie May" at least twice this weekend. This is not a good omen.

BOS1 5MEB, "Absolutely Right", a tight little rocker that I much prefer to "Signs"

BOS2 the 'oo. The song is over, but the set's just begun.

No, Mr Fogerty, I actually have never seen rain "shining down like water".

always a BOS(3) for "So Far Away", one of my faves from Tapestry.

Does Jim want to "be her daddy"? or "meet her daddy"? And what's with the 7 horses? Either way "Love Her Madly" is LN.

ah, drug humor: can't remember if this is Congress of Wonders or Conception Corporation.

VHM Traffic: "Rock'n'Roll Stew" for breakfast.

Carson to Ed McMahon: "WRONG, locomotive breath!"  BOS4 Tull.

VHM Zep's "RnR", which is borderline-LN.

We're so sorry, uncle Macca.

Five Man Electrical Band - Absolutely Right 
Who - The Song Is Over 
CCR - Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

instant LN: "Why Can't We Be  Overplayed?"

LN2: "Rhiannon"

also rather LN but VHM and proxy of Gaz, "Bad Time"

VHM Foghat, taking it slow.

is it any wonder? "Fame" is LN3

BOS Brooooooooce.

oh magic magic -- it's 'hos!

LN4: Bad Co.  I'd love to hear somebody play Millie Jackson's cover of this one day.

"Dream Weaver" is (a) LN5 and (b) a song most folks associate with '76, but Bob always plays it in '75.

WOS Styx "Suite Madame Blue". It certainly did, Bob.
