I missed the Osmonds this morning, so when I tuned in I heard the Lighthouse song first. I assumed
they were still pulling shows from 2012, so I thought we were in for this one:
4/11/12 - Wednesday! One Fine (News-free) Morning in...1971!
1. Lighthouse - One Fine Morning
2. Chase - Get It On
(TV: The Electric Company)
3. Badfinger - Day After Day
(Movie: Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood): "Go ahead. Make my day.")
4. Carole King - It's Too Late
(Ad: GAF View Master with Henry Fonda)
5. Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story
6. King Floyd - Groove Me
7. Al Green - I'm So Tired of Being Alone
(TV: All In The Family: Archie and Meathead are both sick)
8. Bee Gees - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
(Movie: Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory: Gene Wilder: "We are the music makers... the dreamers of dreams")
9. Harry Nilsson - Think About Your Troubles
(Movie: Harold & Maude: Maude (Ruth Gordon): "L-I-V-E live!")
10.Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (B.O.S!)
A much better show, IMO. Oh well, I think you'd actually have to work at it to get a bad 1971 set.
But while today's set had it's high points (Tom! Janis!), it was yet another pop-heavy show.
There were so many other pop/rock related genres producing good music in 1971 -- it's a shame
they get so little play with the skew towards pop.
