A good year for my last day of school!  Yeah, CO-BOS at least, and here comes Janis!  Another BOS!

Ditto, and now some heavy metal thunder from Steppenwolf!

As I've said before, I LOVED the Dion song at the time. Gave me chills. Now I'm not so sure; seems a lot sappier.  And making a comeback on the backs of dead guys... I dunno.

Getcha motor runnin' for Steppenwolf, def one of the 4 or 5 most-overplayed songs of the era.

Same feeling about the Commodores' "Nightshift" and Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable"?

When we did this (A, M, &J) at church, it was quite moving, but the younger (late 30's to early 40's) music director (wife of pastor) tossed it off as something nostalgic from the 60's.  I still like Moms Mabley's version the best.  I have an MP3 scored during the last gasps of Napster.

Freshly-dead politicians are a bit more visceral. A loaded concept, as it were.  Tribute records as a rule are borderline-creepy; "Nightshift" is one of the classier ones IMHO.  Natalie on the other hand -- we already knew she was a coke whore who needed the money.

eerie sitting here in my deserted classroom, waiting for occasional students to come by for their grades, saying goodbye, listening to "Sugar Mountain."

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles did an interesting cover as well - incongruously uptempo, but still poignant.  And I don't think I've ever heard the Tom Clay medley version (the last of the four charting versions).

Hm.  I like "Mony Mony" but there are about 15 Tommy James songs I like better.

Have your students seen the 10@10 Clubhouse?  Just curious.
