Another Pleasant Valley Sunday. Another rich songwriter complaining about the middle class.

Hee!  I used to sometimes sign off letters with that quote.

HM to that and "Pleasant Valley Sunday," and dittoing the Pstones BOS.  "Dandelion" is in my all-time Stones Top 10, just ahead of "She's a Rainbow."

Yes, Carole King had scored No. 1 hits, but had she made bank by this point?

Major BOS to "Bernadette," one of the best-ever bass charts and some delightfully intricate backing vocals.  Dave Marsh compared Levi's enunciation here to Dylan's, which I always found curious.

I can only assume that by '67 she was quite comfortable.

I find a lot of what Marsh says to be curious :wink:

"Itchykoo."  "Bless you."

HM, though they lose points for "Won't that be cool?"
