OMFG - Shuggie Otis "Strawberry Letter #23" (the OG) - Bustout?

no, we've heard it multiple times from both Dave and AL iirc.

Hmmm, it was played in '74 several times.

Per AMG, Strawberry Letter was released in 71 on Shuggie's Freedom Flight album as well as on Inspiration Information, which was a '74 release.

short set.

ETA: and, I'll add another pleasant but not earth-shattering outing. The Fortunes were probably the rarest track -- AL played it once, and so did Dave in 2007.

Yep, it's the same old same old.  I think that not even stumbling upon a bust-out once in a while
for a year like 1971 has to be deliberate.  And again, the set list skews heavily towards pop.
I swear, if KFOG had been a rock/pop station in 1971 they wouldn't have played this much pop.

"Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow."

"Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy"

These lyrics have long resonated with me... for example, I've been watching Route 66 on one
of those retro-television stations lately.  There is quite plainly this notion, often displayed on this
show and others of the era, that a good fist-fight is an honorable and acceptable, indeed, even
a desirable method for settling disputes between gentlemen.  I am not at all sure how accurately
that reflects adult society at the time.  Today if I started swinging at somebody I'd fully expect
to be arrested for assault and battery.
