BOS2 to "Give a Damn"!


what an incredible lyric.  and methinks this is vinyl.


You may well be right. What's this voiceover at the end? Part of the record or another ebellishment from DM?


it's part of the record -- some old black guy (it's hard to make out what he's saying, but it's something about being poor).  As I've explained before (speaking of old people telling the same stories), the song was written for a Public Service ad campaign about helping the "inner cities" as we liked to call the ghetto back then.  There were white-on-black buttons that said "Give a Damn." (I may still have mine -- gotta look tonite.)

I made my classes listen to almost the whole thing, real loud, with me boppin' heavy!
Geoff, do you recall when the Dead used the Chambers Brothers tune to play at midnight one New Years as part of an audio montage when the balloons dropped? Cranked to 11 thru their PA it sounded AMAZING, with it bouncing to all four corners of the Coliseum (they were running a modified quad system for effects like that).

I remember them using the "Time!  Time!" shtick; not the whole song.  But hey, if it was NYE...
