31 August 2007-it's 1967

[RGMike]

Reflections of '67 indeed.  Remember, this is date-specific, so all these songs were charted singles in the same week. Amazing -- especially "Heroes & Villains".

[urth]

All you need is Glove, if you remember the Yellow Submarine movie.

Is that another ref to Mike's upcoming, umm, procedure?   :wink:

[RGMike]

Did he say this would be a Soul Patrol 67 set?  Sure is so far.

Soul Patrol JINX!!

OK, Neil D--def. not Soul Patrol material.

Er... Simon & GarFUNKel, those two illin' gangstas from Forest Hills?

[RGMike]

Stevie and his harmonica, made to love & be loved!

[Alicat]

this is just sublime!!!

My little glovey-dovey...CRUSH THEM!!!

My kids really like it.  The DVD is great with fab sound, and the Hey Bulldog footage restored.  It's always been my favorite song from YS, but I was puzzled by it since it's not in the released version.  I see why they took it out though; it's just weird, and the dog is gross.

BTW, is this a classic since Dave is in Marin somewhere?

Yellow Submarine is one of my three favorite movies of all time.  (And it's even better on mushrooms.)

This must be the Super Hit 6 slot--can't imagine DM would play All You Need Is Love anywhere else.

Can't help but be reminded by the Britishness of this that Princess Diana died 10 years ago today.

I remember it well, it was a Saturday, and we were getting up before dawn to drive into Yosemite for an aggressive day trip, and I turned on the telly & got the news.  Driving out from the Sunset that morning, it was all we heard on the radio.  Hit the trailhead around 9:30 and commenced a  1hr hike to the lake that my cousin was camping at with a group of his buddies.  On the trail met some Brits hiking out after a week in the wilderness, and asked them if they were big fans of the Lady, which of course they were, so I broke the news to them.  

They were pretty saddened, not hysterical or anything, but I suppose in the years since and probably sometime today when they think where they were when they heard the news they'll be thinking of the Yank they met on the trail in Yosemite.

OK, Stevie puts this definitely into 10-way tie territory. Back when he really was "Little" Stevie Wonder.

I can well imagine. :wink: Ahhh, mushrooms.

Still in BOS territory with Stevie.  I heard his concert was fantastic -- would have liked to go.

A strong finish.

I got the news late Friday night.  I was at Club Cocodrie in North Beach watching a band called the Drawing Room Poets (two of them were fellow Alleghenians, one of whom used to date my friend Victor).  Eerily, I saw the news breaking on a TV screen just as the band was playing a cover of Bob Dylan's "Davey Moore":

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not I," says the referee,
"Don't point your finger at me.
I could've stopped it in the eighth
An' maybe kept him from his fate,
But the crowd would've booed, I'm sure,
At not gettin' their money's worth.
It's too bad he had to go,
But there was a pressure on me too, you know.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not us," says the angry crowd,
Whose screams filled the arena loud.
"It's too bad he died that night
But we just like to see a fight.
We didn't mean for him t' meet his death,
We just meant to see some sweat,
There ain't nothing wrong in that.
It wasn't us that made him fall.
No, you can't blame us at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not me," says his manager,
Puffing on a big cigar.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to tell,
I always thought that he was well.
It's too bad for his wife an' kids he's dead,
But if he was sick, he should've said.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?


"Not me," says the gambling man,
With his ticket stub still in his hand.
"It wasn't me that knocked him down,
My hands never touched him none.
I didn't commit no ugly sin,
Anyway, I put money on him to win.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not me," says the boxing writer,
Pounding print on his old typewriter,
Sayin', "Boxing ain't to blame,
There's just as much danger in a football game."
Sayin', "Fist fighting is here to stay,
It's just the old American way.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"Not me," says the man whose fists
Laid him low in a cloud of mist,
Who came here from Cuba's door
Where boxing ain't allowed no more.
"I hit him, yes, it's true,
But that's what I am paid to do.
Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.'
It was destiny, it was God's will."

Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

It would have to be -- I saw it when it was re-released in the '90s and... it ain't as good as people remember.

Looks like I missed an interesting morning: '73, all-Brooce and all-Van. But this was surely the topper of toppers.

I'm pretty sure it happened on a Saturday night-into-Sun morning. I was listening to Sully Roddy's late lamented alt-country show on KNEW and even tho' they NEVER did news on the weekends, she interrupted at around 9:30pm with the news.

I saw it a couple years after it came out, maybe '70 or '71, as a double feature with the Joe Cocker Rock-u-mentary Mad Dogs & Englishmen.  My folks were by far the oldest in the theater (early 30's); my bros & I were by far the youngest (6-8 ).

No 'shrooms involved but I'm pretty certain we all got contact highs.

I'm pretty sure it happened on a Saturday night-into-Sun morning.

Checked the date, 8/31/97 was, in fact, a Sunday.

So Gaz was partying on a Sat & I was hiking on the Sabbath. Makes sense.
