BOS2: Macca, "Every Night".  I say this every time, but considering the trashing this LP got from many critics, it really holds up both artistically and as a time-capsule.

In fact, yes. That comment got me wondering just when Ms. Branch was hatched. Per AMG, 1983. So this song has 13 years on Ms. Branch.

Funny we get 1970 today. I was listening to an archived 70 set last night and really enjoying the breadth of music included (it's going to take me awhile to reconstruct exactly what comprised it though--working on little sleep this am.) But if there are any duplications, I'll holler.

ETA: Ooooh, just realized I'm zeroing in on 2200 posts--is that going to earn me any change in rank hereabouts? Somehow I think I got a few hundred posts to go before that happens.

OK, this is one of my classic rock mental blocks: is this Rare Earth or the Grass Roots? I'm thinking the former, but I always get it wrong. Shall we have Beej prepare the tambourine of indecision?

OOOOooooo--the L-O-O-O-O-O-N-G version!!

Ah, I checked AMG and see I finally got it right for once. Maybe not getting enough sleep is the key...

(Supergrass last night--went til about midnight and then went for a nightcap with some friends after. So that equals a kind of foggy Friday am.)

I've had that problem since this song was on the charts--don't know why but as I said, It's a mental block.

Nice segue from IKILY into The Seeker via the Kent State clips. Hope Mshray was tuned in somewhere.

And this would be #2200. Cause for celebration?

Nah.
