Wow, Frampton, Aerosmith, Stevie, now Fleetwood Mac--we're hitting all the '76 katrinas today--next up: Gary Wright.

VHM to the FMac.  I find it intriguing that the refrain sentiment is in the declarative ("you say that you love me") but the title is cast in the imperative ("say you love me").  Anything at play here?

Agreed, but the Trammps breakout, er, Gomer, made it worthwhile. Nonetheless, VHM to the Legendary Christine Perfect.

BOS to the majestic Starbuck and their equally majestic xylophone.

No doubt. And Starbuck is sort of a cheesier version of Gary Wright anyway. Mustache, white touring cap and all. Visions of Midnight Special.

Btw, who's the little tyke in your latest avatar?

Trust me that it's not oxymorony or sarcasm when I call "Serenade" my favorite Steve Miller song.  VHM.

and we end (?) with a Gaz WOS.  Personally I find it one of Steve's more durable entries.
