We kick off a couple minutes early with a personal favorite, the Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life."

actually we kicked off with the James Gang. But BOS Marmalade, which I heard over the weekend -- it's played over the closing credits of Festival Express, which was on cable.

And BOS2 the Guess Who, "Share the Land", always a fave segue of mine into (or out of) 3DN's "Out in the Country".

Instead, the segue theme is "failed idealism."  Ladies and gentlemen, Blues Image!

BOS3 "RCR", one of the great OHWs of the '70s, and that's saying something.  And it always reminds me of my mom, who thought they were singing "mystery shit" and was horrified that such talk was allowed on the radio.

They shouldn't have been asking Timmy Leary anything.  I've wondered if he wasn't a CIA plant.

This is why Time would have cast the title as "Black-Magic Woman."
