Argh!  I'm gonna miss it: my 1:30 meeting was *just* moved up to 1:00, so I have to bolt.

I was hoping for a 1976 set with "Silly Love Songs," fwiw.

Will check in on the boards later, but happy weekend to all!

Pentagon Papers
« Reply #4 on: February 11, 2005, 10:05:32 AM »
I was the best man in friend's wedding back in the day, and he had worked with the defense team for Ellsburg, so as a thank you gift, he gave the people in the wedding party autographed copies (paperback) of the Pentagon Papers. It seemed like a cheap thing at the time, but perhaps not?

Great stuff so far.  Possible BOS to "I Just Wanna be Free," undoubtedly a favorite of "peacniks" everywhere.

Autographed by Ellsberg? If you still have it, it's worth something.

Nice to hear some fresh sound clips. Dave's been shopping on the web again!

I've noticed that he seems to be including fewer historical clips in general over the past few weeks--wonder if people were complaining or something? Fogheads can be so dumb sometimes.[/code]

actionable leaks
« Reply #10 on: February 11, 2005, 10:20:53 AM »
jeez, and now we see Bob Novak outing a CIA agent, which should land the guy in jail, but no action from the White House.  Here Nixon and Kissinger want to put the PP leakers in jail.

my my.

BOS Faces!
« Reply #11 on: February 11, 2005, 10:23:54 AM »
Don't think this is a first-timer, but I don't think Dave's played it a lot. Great tune, and I think it was the Faces' only single to chart in the U.S.

Btw, did anyone catch the article on Ian McLagan in the Chron yesterday? Guess he played Slim's last night.

WOS.  I have a soft spot for the Carpenters, but this isn't working for me.
