get yer kicks in '66 on the Sloop John B. I know this is based on an old Jamaican folk song, but I heard it (in the early '70s) as a Vietnam metaphor.

"This is the worst trip I've ever been on."  Little did Brian know then what the '70s and '80s would be like.

BOS1 to Pittsburgh's own Lou Christie on one of the best falsetto choruses ever.  So great that one can ignore the painfully misogynist lyric.

There are NO coincidences: "Lightning Strikes", which Klaus Nomi did in his stage act, which there are clips of in the docu I saw this weekend.

BOS2 to "Summer in the City," even though it feels like anything but.  This is such a great song it allows me to forgive John Sebastian for two songs I absolutely DESPISE, "Daydream" and "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind."

HM to Cream.  That Jack Bruce was a looker in the day, not much of a lyricist though.  But he's glad, he's glad, he's glad, and he feels free.

Ah but he wrote some other wonderful tunes, "Rain on the Roof" and "Six O'Clock" and "You're a Big Boy Now" and "Darling Be Home Soon" and...
