BOS3 BOC! go go "Godzilla"!!!

Calling Beej-zilla?

[mshray]

Can we make a M3S entry of songs with spoken Japanese (or fake Japanese even) in them, such as this one?

one of the oddest bills was seeing them open for Jefferson Starship at Winterland.  They were pretty funny though, as most fans seemed luded out.  They did a Spinal Tap moment when all of them played a guitar (even the drummer and keyboard player) in some precursor of "Big Bottom"

eeek! David Dundas.

is this organ riff in "My Old Blue Jeans" the exact same as in "Life Is A Rock", or just hauntingly familiar?

I saw them do that in '78, except one guy had a key-tar.

I'm good with Jeans On. Happy.

they're def similar. That's "Jeans On", BTW.  a British jeans commercial that became a song.

Y'know I thought the same thing for a sec, but then my brain kicked in and thought "wrong year. And we know Dave KNOWS what year Life is a Rock is..."

And I think it's an electric piano, probably a Fender Rhodes. They were big in the latter 70s.

They must have milked that schtick for awhile--I saw 'em do it in '79 at Cal Expo (topping the bill over Cheap Trick and Pat Travers--fun show!).

But that guy Buck Dharma can really play.

Trivia: What's Buck Dharma's real name? (No fair using the internet.)

I used to know that.  Couldn't tell you without cheating today tho'.

post-set: Disco Dead for Alicat!

sadly, Annalisa, one of the MANY disappointing things about the remake of Godzilla was the fact that they didn't include the BOC song on the sndtk (subjecting us instead to that horrendous P.Diddy thing with the sample from "Kashmir").

[RGMike]

Bonus: the Iggster, "Lust For Life". He's wortha million in prizes. Not to mention the resids from letting Carnival Cruises use the song in commercials.
