"Bad Time", anyone? or perhaps Pure Prairie League? Pilot?

I'd love Ray Stevens' "Misty" -- like THAT'LL happen!

We got Pilot's "Magic" last time the Drive went '75, I think.  But Pure Prairie League seems likely, as does Paul Simon (One Man's Ceiling?)  And maybe some live Joni from Miles of Aisles...?

that was '73 but "50 Ways to Love Your Liver" is possible. Better yet, his duet w/Phoebe Snow. Didja know that was supposed to be Bette Midler but her record company balked?

and of course "Magneto & Titanium Macca" is always welcome.

HM to "Simple Twist of Fate," which I haven't heard since college.

Think we'll get something from Young Americans later?

indeed VHM at very least just for being something other than "Tangled Up in Blue" So many other great songs on this LP.

Feel Like Making Love

what I remember most about this song is that silly little bass zoop after the chorus (somewhere near the end?)

WOS to "Feel Like Makin' Love," mostly because I'm still appalled at Paul Rodgers taking Freddie Mercury's place in the re-Queen debacle.

not being a Bad Company or Queen fan, I'm not particularly enraged, but it does seem like an odd fit indeed.

Bob's cranked up the cheeze-meter with "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You."  Corny Wurlitzer riffs for $200, Alex!

ha! i just heard the bass zoop, geoff. weird.

paul simon and phoebe snow? and millie jackson covering bad co? i need to get out more.

yeah, paul rodgers is on my nay-nay list, too. though i can't think of anyone who should replace freddie, i can think of a dozen reasons why paul rodgers should not.

"He said 'you got my number?'"

"I said, 'Yeah I got it the minute you walked in the door...'"

So, are they PLAYING in "lousy joints"... or smoking them?

P.S.  Around this same time, Paul Revere & the Raiders had a non-hit called "Song Seller" that totally nicks this, right down to name-dropping Ringo.  They did some truly embarrassing stuff after "Indian Reservation" and "Birds of a Feather."
