8 Aug 2014: it's... 1973!

Columbo clip (wine tasting) ---> Schoolhouse Rock nationa (tyrannosaurus) debt ---> T. Rex "20th Century Boy"



ETA: This set sure rocked...  and closes with "Multiplication Rock"

Columbo tastes wine --> Schoolhouse Rock "Tyrannosaurus debt" --> T-Rex. Heh.

BOS8 "20th Century Boy"

If I'm stretching everything to fit the theme of religious extremism, being "Blinded by the light" is an apt metaphor for fundamentalists.

Even giving AL credit for everything that went before, I think you may be stretching, yes.

I guess it's difficult to bend St. Bruce to anything!

I can't stretch any farther captain!  Elderberry Wine?

Communion reference?

I considered that tt!

Hey, it's Bruce doing that Manfred Mann song!

I like the original best

BOS8 "20th Century Boy"

And we end with a nod to one of her fave genres, the British glam movement. Well bowled. And one more BOS in a set that's had no shortage of worthy candidates.

It'd take a miracle, like turning water to Elderberry Wine to bring peace to that part of the globe.

this was quite entertaining indeed.

a nice co-inky-dink, however. 

Intentional or no, this has been a very damn enjoyable set, working on several levels in the best 10@10 tradition. Kudos to AL.

Agreed.

Free "Wishing Well"

a possible bustout -- a welcome rarity certainly. One year before BadCo, and you'd be hard pressed to tell the diff. BOS5.

Turns out AL played it once before, 3 years ago. A fine rarity nonetheless.

I was thinking she'd work in something to do with Fleetwood Mac and the Children of God, but that happened in 1971.

This may be my last live listening of the Summer.  I report for a reindoctrination retreat on Monday, work on Wednesday, and students (what I call "Live Ammo") on Thursday.
