And now, Freda Payne for EC (the condition formerly known as Erectile Dysfunction).


LOL!  I still remember Christgau reviewing the album in 1970 and calling BOG "a saga of wedding-night impotence" -- which had not occurred to me until then, but now it seems quite obvious

"and love me, like you tried before..."

GREAT book -- not just about him but about SF during that period. Fascinating stuff.

Listening to a 1970 replay makes me feel like it's a Friday nite!

Lovely Neil. Such a young voice.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Alive on the left channel; Kicking on the right!


Hahaha! I didn't really notice this on the replay last night, but CBS-FM is playing it right now, and damn, what a great old-fashioned true-stereo way to record a duet. The guy singer on the right, the girl on the left. Kudos to Tommy James.
