BOS "Stand Tall", a career highlight for both Burton Cummings and Richard Perry (which is saying something in both cases).

"You got me down on my knees for ya, mama!"

followed by BOS2, Thin Lizzy, "Jailbreak".

I'm having serious buffering problems today -- our "connectivity issues" (due to that virus) are about to enter their second week...

BOS3 Mr Sebastian serenading "Mistah Kottah".  Sadly, what should've been the launch of a major comeback pretty much died when the follow-up single flopped.

Deservedly?  I have no idea what the follow-up was, definitely never heard it.

And (the other) JB's 0.0% on the register disconfirms my hypothesis that every song starts with one vote for it.
