There's this little descending figure in the You Only Live Twice song that reminds me of something else.  Similiar to Sunny Side of Heaven from Fleetwood Mac's Bare Trees album.

BOS2 Nancy S.!!!  Later sampled by Robbie Williams for "Millenium".


And you have to admit, that was a clever sample on Yerrobbie's part.

This really was almost a Pride set, wunnit?  Loving the replay.

Oh my yes.  I never told y'alls, but 3 years ago, I went with a group of friends (Freaks and Freak Associates) on a Memorial Day weekend excursion to Bar Harbor, Maine, where my friend Alli (married to a Freak) has family.  We were staying in a family home, and I couldn't resist the urge to dig through the vinyl.  Among the treasures: a few Herb Alpert albums, including Whipped Cream and Other Delights (a/k/a That Cover) and a GH comp.  I had the drunken genius idea to play "Spanish Flea" at least 20 times that weekend, as laugh track, as conversation starter, as phone answerer, whatever.  That weekend has multiplied my love of the mighty mighty Alpert.

As I may have mentioned before, I grew up in a very MOR household (Mom loved Sinatra & Robert Goulet).  I didn't "discover" Top 40 radio until the fall of '67, when Lulu and the Box Tops had the top 2 singles. During the Summer of Love, I was oblivious to rock, pretty much. We listened to WHN, the big middle-of-the-road station, and both "Casino Royale" and "You Only Live Twice" were much bigger hits on the MOR charts than on the Pop list.  So they have a special place in my heart.

I never realized this, and I'm suddenly curious: No Revolver? No Pet Sounds?  No Sgt. Pepper?  I came at pop from an unavoidably retrograde angle (born in '72, pop savvy at '76) so I feel like a child at the knee when I ask, "What was life like before rock?"

Yeah, it's really weird.  I'm sure I saw the Beatles on Sullivan, since we ALWAYS watched Ed on Sun nite, but I don't really recall it vividly. What I DO remember is everybody talking about them the next day and our teacher (Catholic school, tho' she wasn't a nun) coming in and saying we were FORBIDDEN to talk about "those sick sick people". Anyone heard speaking of the Beatles would be punished. I can't really explain why, even though I saw rock acts on Sullivan and other shows, I never thought to seek them out on the radio.

In the fall of '67 we were allowed to bring radios to school to listen to the World Series (they played day games back then) and while waiting for the game to start, Sister Mary Whats-her-name let us listen to Top 40 WABC. And I heard "To Sir With Love" and "The Letter" for the first time and suddenly I was hooked. A whole new world was opened up to me.

What a great story.  Were you rooting for the Cards or the Bosox then?  If I go to sleep right now I might be awake in time for the beginning of the replay, probably a good idea.

OMFG!!! Sheena!!! BOS5 and Gaz is gonna be PISSED that he missed this.


I can't hear this without thinking I'm in a karaoke bar.  A very gay karaoke bar.

Which leads me to repeat: Any takers for Dec. 18-28?
