Quote from: "Gazoo"
I always confuse this "White Lies" song with the "White Lies, Blue Eyes" song (same year?).  Which one was Nils Lofgren's band?


The one we heard today, Grin. White Lies, Blue Eyes is Bullet, not sure of the year. Mike?

just sounded right.  I don't have any of his records, but he's unique enough (reminds me of Walter Egan a bit!) that I enjoy hearing him.

Well, there's no denying this IS completely different.

Cue the moans!

(ETA: Would this qualify as a Narada? Any of you guys remember this from 72? Not I.)


Seriously? Where were you in '72? Not listening to Top 40 radio? 'cause it was a big hit.


Was totally listening to Top 40 as a 12-year-old in Sacramento, but I don't recall hearing it. Really.


Hrm. I know there were stations that banned it as being too salacious. Needless to say it got play in NYC, and of course it was heard on Casey Kasem's AT40 as well.

Bullet was also '72 -- they only got as high as #28, surprisingly.

Ack. That Rundgren voting block just can't be defeated. I'd have been fine with either the Yes or Chacachas tunes. And I love Hello It's Me too. Just wish TR didn't dominate the way he does.

It's been around forever, just like porn!

Ditto.

And I repeat what I said yesterday -- how odd is it that Dave never plays Todd/Utopia's Deface the Music?

There's a lot of Todd's catalog, both with Utopia and solo, that never gets played. Really, the only song after about 78 we ever hear is Bang the Drum All Day. There was a self-titled Utopia album in 82 that had several tunes that would spice up any '82 set.
