Quite the FM staple at the time, and quite a fabulous record.  And it more than makes up for the Supertramp that follows.

Nowadays, when I hear the line about a "presentable vegetable" I think of the Blackadder episode with the dildo-shaped turnip.

BOS2 (#1 was Ms Faithfull) to the Goat & friends, "Sisters of the Moon", one from Tusk you never hear.

BTW Gaz -- Tim Goodman sez that new Rob Corddry sitcom is "lame even by FOX standards".

OMFG! "Power", John Hall's ode to the No-Nukes movement. I haven't heard this since '79. BOS3 and a total flashback-wow.

New to me, and I love it.  Sounded like Carly Simon on the harmony vox.

May well have been.  It may have played over the closing credits of the No Nukes concert film -- been a while since I've seen it.

BOS4 Squeeze, "Cool For Cats". It's funny how da missus always looks the bleedin' same.
